The President and the King.

Referring to the prevailing idea as
stated last week that many men look
upon the man who governs as king
so well known man as DR.. Parkhurst
seems to think we are ruled by king
when he writes: "How much and how
little is the President empowered to do
Are there any definite limits set to his
responsibility and authority
ssrhis question is one that will be set,
tled in part by discussion and in part
by the course Of events. As originally
conceived the Government of the United
States is quite in the nature of limited
monarchy--all but the name.
"To those who had rebelled against
royal authority in England the term
President was more acceptable than
King or Minister and to those who
were sufficiently monarchical in thelr
views to believe that control should be
exercised by the educated few, concen'
tration of power in the person OF one
was more satisfactory than its distribu'
ton among the many"
The learned Doctor ,forgets that the
people delegate these powers of rule and
restrict their use also to defined limits
The President is not such by "Grace OF
Cod" but by votes of citizens, nor can
he issue "royal mandate"

A Popular Caterer,

1t is pleasure to the "Forum" to
call the attention of the public to the
cafe of Mr.. Joshua N. Anderson, who
is proprietor of the Tuskegee Lunch
Room, at G26 North Capitol street, N. W.
Mr.. Anderson is meeting a long felt want
in this locality by catering to the people

for persons to be properly served in that
particular section of the city As it is

that every colored man of race pride in
the government printing Office would give
his patronage to this establishment and
thereby avoid the embarrassment OF be-
ing Jim Crowed' and ut the same time
get the same fare for less money. Give

to its bottle. This carelessness in feed
ing often results in dangerous harm, no
matter how carefully the food is pre-
pared.
"It is often hard to determine Just
what causes these sudden attacks of
summer complaint, but it is usually bad
milk. That IL the reason that every
mother should be sure to taste the baby's
food Immediately before giving it. Milk
can, under certain conditions, spoil in
very few minutes. For instance, a
clap of thunder may render the milk
unfit to feed to a baby.
"The vomiting, which is usually the
first sign Of a disturbance in the baby's
digestive arrangement, is an effort of ma
ture to get rid of the offending matter
in the stomach, and is really good
thing if it does not continue too long.
"1he first thing to do, Of course, is
to send for doctor. Stop all the milk
feeding at once. In place of the milk,
give barley water or plain boiled water.
Don't do another thing until the doctor
arrives and then be guided absolutely
by what he says"
This is good sound advice, but causes
only small part of the trouble. There
is 4 more important phase to be consid-
cred. DR.. Gilfoy, of the New York
Health Department says; Most of the
deaths of babies in hot weather are due
chiefly to impure milk. Our infant NOR.
tality would be next to nothing If all
the babies could be breasted"
/ can see no. reason why the large ma
iority of infants should not be breasted,
being fairly familiar with the arguments
advanced in favor of bottlefeeding, and
they point to wrong motive, it seems
to me.
The purest COW milk sweetened with
cane sugar and warmed or cooked by fire
is a poor substitute for the real thing,
and / am sure any human baby knows
that it is but base imitation, and would
not accept it unless forced to do so. Be-
sides, can milk and cane sugar at best
are hard to digest when mixed in the
customary manner. And what substitute
is put in this mixture heated over a
gas Jet, or on stove, for the loving
warmth of a mothers heart along with
many other divine essences, physical,
spiritual, strong and tender which no
words of mine can name?

important embankments guarding Toxic

Thousands OF homeless persons are be-
ing sheltered in the temples and school
houses, at which relief stations the most
deplorable sights are witnessed. The VIC
Tins of the foods are wholly dependent
upon public relief. Thousands more have
been unable to find shelter, owing to the
insuaiciency of boats to convey them TO
places Of safety, and they are exposed to
the rain and hunger
Every available boat is being employed
in the work of rescue and to convey food
where it is most needed.
The question of feeding the stricken
people is causing apprehension. The
vegetable and fish supplies are failing,
and the stock of biscuits already is near
ly exhausted. There is no fear, however,
for the supply Of rice.

hemorrhage that might occur along the

hemorrhage is bleeding "a or more hours

the bullet has so abrased the wall OF
some artery that the pulsing blood had
broken through Such a hemorrhagG
must be checked within couple of min1
utes If death is to be averted.
Every other contingency conceivable to
the alert surgical mind has been provided
for. The Mayor has received injections
of antitoxin to ward off tetanus, the
bullet has been viewed as it lies EN-
bedded in bony tissue in the roof of the
pharynx, the wound has been dressed and
asepticized and the Mayors blood tested
twice day for the germs of septicemia
or blood poisoning OF course, such pre-
cautions as may have been taken
to guard against a secondary hemorrhage,
but wholly to guard against that is i'm
