NEEDLESS SACRIFICE OF LIFE
Constant Supply of Pure Milk Will Re suit in Immense Reduction of
 Infant Mortality.

The problem of the milk supply for the babies is one that has to be solved all the year round. The mortality from the gastro-intestinal diseases is heaviest during the summer, but the babies need pure milk quite as much in the winter as in the summer, and the municipalities that fail to insure it for them are virtually asleep at the switch. The eventual wrecking of countless baby lives is inevitable. The city fathers who make no provision for the supervision of the sources of the milk supply are not only virtually asleep, but recklessly extravagant Dr. Goler's estimate is $500 a month for a city the size of Rochester. Put opposite this amount the economic loss. due to the appalling waste of baby life. It Is estimated that 375.000 babies under one year old died in this country last year. Economists put the financial value of each of these babies at $90, so that the total loss, ex- pressed merely in dollars and cents amounted to $33,76O,o00. And yet physicians say that at least one-half of this waste could have been pre- vented by the adequate supervision of the sources of the milk supply.

Character In Walking.

Walking is almost as common as breathing, eating and sleeping, yet there are many people who do not know how to walk. Some ioiter along with a half-dead, half-alive air, while others madly rush as if but moment of time was theirs.
 Now, there Is much character in a walk: it should embody energy, am bition and enterprise and at the same time grace and dignity.
 To walk for health certain prepara- tions should be made. In cold weath- CT the clothing should be warm, but not heavy. The clothing should be loose, for tight garment restricts cir culation. The skirt should be short and the shoes should be low-heeled. wide and thick soled.
 Deep breathing goes hand-in-hand with walking and 1t is a good habit to breathe rhythmically. counting the while.

W Rucker Of the public health and

Ellis island for Boston to confer with
Commissioner of immigration George

regarding the new and comprehensive
plan for guarding the United States
against possible danger from cholera

A ENCOURAGEMENT is made at the
"a post Office department that under
instructions from Postmaster General
Hitchcock the inspectors must get
the crooks" Whereupon every sleuth
has put his lose to the ground and
sought an opening to land those who
are trying to get something for
nothing" from the people. But 1t is
also said that they are going after
every individual Or concern whose
business smacks of fraud regardless
of its size or the influence which may
be behind it."
Several days ago there came out Of
the same department a story to the
effect that the inspectors we're in
formed that they were not to ''go it
blind" and simply make cases, but
that he would have to be able to
produce the goods" SO as to have
reasonable grounds for convictions in
court.
No honest man wants to prevent the
prosecution Of frauds and crooks. On
the contrary. there is a strong desire
that all such persons should be ap.
pretended and punished, but there
have been examples of great Injustice
and wrong on the part of too eager

WANTED SATAN SENT NORTH
Good Example Of Scottish Humor in
Remark Made by Railroad
p Porter, '' ~

Scottish humor is dry rather than
boisterous, and I always think there
is exquisite drollery in the story OF
the Stonehayen railway porter and the
Salvation Army Captain" To catch
the hang Of a little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south of Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehaven on &C.
count of a slight mishap a mile or two
ahead. and Andra, the old, porter, had
got into conversation with a Salvation
Army officer who had popped his head
out of the compartment to ask the
eason for the delay.
aye, aye" mused Andra, after Civ
ing the desired information, yen be
for Aberdeen, I'm thinkin'?"
Eyes. my man." was the reply;
"I'm bound for Aberdeen-a very
wicked place, I'm told!'
What MIGHT We be goin' to dae
there. sir, II it's as bad as a that?'
asked Andra, rather amused at the
visitors words.
"Ah." was the pious answer. I'm
going to drive the devil out OF Aber
deem"
Like lightning came from the old
porter the pawky retort:-
See an drive him north. chiel;
baud him well to the north,"-Ex

Ask Honest Postal Law Enforcement

post office inspectors who wanted to
make a record and devoted much time
to working up cases. There are also
many people who. for revenge, or
other cause, seek out post office in
spectors and try to secure fraud or
ders against persons they dislike or
whose business rivalry they fear.
If fraud orders could be reviewed
in the courts it would not matter so
much whether legitimate concerns
were attacked by over-zealous men
who are told "get the crooks" and
went out to make records. But there
are many little frauds who advertise
a business and have a little room with
q deal table and one chair; reap a
small harvest and make a quick get
away, who should be pursued by the
men who are trying to prevent the
use of mails for fraudulent purposes.
There is quite a field to cover by
those who are in earnest and do not
feel that in order to- make a name and
reputation they must pull down big
concerns or get "big game"
There has been an intimation that
the post Office department wants the
inspectors to make such of their
ground in making Eases have evidence
upon which they can 90 into court. It
has taken cutie a long campaign to
secure hat much of a concession. but
it is believed hat there will not be
such scandals in the future al in the
past over the destruction of legitimate
business concerns by the free use Of
fraud orders.

VILLAGE KILLED IN BATTLE
Scene OF Many Stirring Events In
Early Days Of War Marked by
A' RuIiet-Pitted Walls. s7i

In the heroic g OF the republic,
and that means the period Of 1S61-6o.
C~enterville, Va. was what its name
declares. The Civil war threw such
a glare upon the hamlet, that the eye
Of the world was drawn to 1t. Cen
terville was a name that was some
times uttered with q shout. but most
times with a Sob. Great legions of
the Union and at first great armies
and later gaunt armies Of the Confed-
eracy grappled around this town,
charging, counter-charging. Keeling,
mangling and winning and losing as
the gods willed or as the heaviest bat
talions compelled. Centerville was "A
war-racked village over which n
army and then another rolled. 1t was
now blue, now gray. changing color
in a breath. Mars held red revels here.
-Four signboards posted at the cross
roads where the village stands tell the
way. One reads: T Bull Run, 3
Miles" The legend On another is:
ITO Chantilly. A Miles," A third is
inscribed: ITO Aide, IL miles" The
fourth points the way to Fairfax
Court House, seven miles away. These
s~ignboards, roughly lettered on rough
oak boards, are scared and warped by
rain and sun.
Centerville is not a stirring place.
It does not feel a single busy throb.
If ever a village was killed in battle
it was Cepterville. Today. it bears
wounds and scars. Bullet-pitted walls
and shot-riven trees, sunken graves
and vine-veiled redoubts may be seen
there.
A dozen houses compose the village.
Half of them cling to the roadside as
though to feed their lean and leaning
sides on such excitement as the visi-
tation of a stranger brings. These
van houses seem to sniff the yellow
dust whirled up by slowly passing
teams as though it were celebrating
snuff. They bear a feeble and listless
look. If they were sentient things it
is likely they would say: "Center-
vile is a little sloN just now. but If
you'd been here a few years ago, back
in the early eos, you wouldn't laugh
at us for being a little shaky and out
of joint now"

vested from the old camps and the

piles have been sold for old iron and

THE hobble skirt. or what looked
like a hobble skirt, the other day
invaded the precincts of the United
States Supreme court. where flowing
robes are worn by the justices. and
where h eAlawyers who appear to ar
que cases generally wear the somber
black of the bar.
OF course. hobble skirt weafers
have hobbled behind the railing where
the public is admitted. because among
the visitors to the courtroom are
women dressed j the lateSt styles.
But not until the day mentioned a
woman barrlster, entitled to practise
before the highest court in he land.
ennaared in a dress which suggested
the latest fad.
There is no rule of the court, nor
has there been since Belva Lock
wood opened the way for the admis-
sion of women to the bar in 1879,
which says that skirts shall NOT. Be
