Disorders Of Children.

Diarrhoea Is a disorder very com

certain classes OF people OF feeding
Young babies various articles OF food
Is very unwise. Up TO the age OF
nine months q baby needs nothing but
milk and IS able 10 digest very little
else Net how often We see people
feeding babies coffee, potatoes, meat
and even things that are hard for a
grown person to digest, Babies fed
entirely upon milk often become sick
because proper attention has not been
given to the care OF the milk and bot
ties Cleanliness is certainly a ueCes-
sity here With older children the
diarrhoea is often caused by eating
unr'pe or orer-ripe fruit or vegetables.
The symptoms are an increased
number Of bowel movements. attend
ed by gripping pains IN the abdomen
They sometimes are accompanied by
vomiting. headache and fever.
The treatment Is first to stop all
food. ana clean out the intestinal
tract This can be done by giving an
enema or injection OF warm water or
by giving a dose Of castor oil. Some
people are unable to understand why
this should be done when there al
ready have been numerous bowel
movements The diarrhoea Is caused
by some food that Is remaining In the
intestine and setting up an irritation.
The irritating material must be re.
moved before we can overcome the
diarrhoea and We do this by means
Of an enema or dose Of laxative. The
child then should be kept quiet and
warm. Heat applied to the feet and
abdomen often Will relieve the pain.

given to aid in eXpelling the gases,

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

OF all tho diseases OF the skin and
kind, threefourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and 1t
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect In infancy
and childhood. irritating conditions af
fecting the skin. ignorance Of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has AFFLICTED count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. 1t Is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious.
and is imparially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning Of
the skin. causing loss OF sleep, is usual
ly tho most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting OF little yesicles
dlled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire tho denuded skin. New
vestcles form, fll and burst, scales
form upon scales. and crusts upon

It is optional with prisoners taken in Connecticut to return to New York. waiving reouisi- ton, or insist that the Governor of New York make requisition upon the Governor of Connecticut for the de- livery of the prisoner.

 When King was brought to this city by the State police Virelli turned him over to the local authorities for safe keeping. He wanted to stop over in Bridgeport. The next morning, King was marshalled into the city court room along with the other occupants of the cells at police headquarters and when his name was called, Judge Fos- ter learned that he was held on the charge of being fugitive from jus- tice.
