rate to one-haf what it is at present.
It's headquarters are in Baltimore
DR.. Budin's plan was to save the
babies by teaching the mothers. He
He learned that many Of the babies born
in his hospital died afterward. He con-
ceived the idea Of calling together the
mothers of these babies after they had
left the hospital for reports and in
struction. He arranged a consultation
day. On this day each mother brought
her baby to the hospital, it was ex
amined, weighed. a record made Of it's con-
dition and advice was given to the
mothers. The records of babies and
mothers so handled showed death
rate of but per cent of the little
ones. where 80 per cent had died be-
fore. The system was proven.
DR.. Budin established. in connection
with his consultations with mothers, a
station where they could get pure milk
The "goutte de lait'' it was called by
the French. the Interpretation of which is
1.-The drop of milk This station is the
pensaries of this country. The system
of consultation with mothers, as employed
by DIR. Budin, has been brought to this
country. as has the idea of the attendant
nurses. So the plan of leading mothers
to right feeding and care Of their babies
has been sown broadcast. and Is taking
root whertyer planted. The last two or
three years have witnessed the establish

delphia, Chicago, Cleveland, Louisville,
Baltimore. Washington and many other
cities. In these cities it has so far reached
but small proportion of the mothers and
the babies. But the principle Is there, and
it's application is but a matter of general
education and time. Its further extern
sion is in the hands of the people, and
they are finding out the possibilities of
good. The communities in which the milk
dispensary and the machinery that goes
with 1t are yet unknown are legion, and
in each of these is the big opportunity
for some individual to accomplish an
amount of good that falls to the lot of
few in a lifetime.
The system Is this: Some physician,
nurse or public spirited individual should
be interested in the idea of saving the
lives of the babies. It is the easiest
thing In the world to get individuals or
the public interested in. Enough funds
may be easily collected to start milk
dispensary. Any up-to-date physician
knows all about the preparation of SAN
itary milk Almost any physician will
be able and willing to give one afternoon
week to the consultation for mothers.
To this should be added the services Of
a trained nurse, and the machine is COM
plete.
The dispensary sells the right sort OF
milk for the babies. Where mothers have

their demand for 1t.
Each municipality should have its pas

sold that has not been pasteurized. say
the men of the public health service.
Dairymen should bring given quantities
of raw milk to the plant and receive its
equivalent in pasteurized milk. So would
this array of fatal diseases be headed off.
So would the milk of all the towns and
cities be made safe. So would the babies
be saved. At the same time the milk
would be most economically treated. for
one big plant can be run much cheaper
than many small ones Such will prob
ably be the system of the future.
This problem of milk is the biggest OF
the questions of caring for the baby. 1t
nursed by their mothers. These are COM
parativeiy safe. Nine babies out OF ten
that die are bottle-fed babies. The wom-
an who puts her baby on the bottle null
is proven by statistics. So 1t is shown
that the mother who can possibly nurse
her baby and does not is assuming q mon
strous chance Of being responsible for its
death.
After the baby is big enough
to eat, its mother should know
what things may be given it. There are
any number of instances on record OF ba-
bies under a year of age being fed sau-
sage. bacon, raw carrots. peanuts and
scores Of other things that were equally
dangerous. The person who gives the
baby these things would be subjecting it
to less danger If he stood across the room
and shot at it with pistol.
The mother should stick to the straight
diet of boiled milk. When she gives the
baby anything else it should be under the
advice Of her doctor. There is always q
doctor who is in some way accessible to
the poorest of people. and the great
masses have one regularly advising the
family. This doctor should be consulted
before food is given the baby.
But il the mother simply cannot resist

dying. The death rate from summer COM
plaint is just now ready to jump into
startling figures. Summer complaint Is
the most deadly of all the diseases that
attack babies. Yet it is SO ordinary that
parents pay little attention to it. Moth
ers are prone to say that the baby has
only summer complaint and let the mat
ter run on. Yet summer complaint Is
more to be dreaded than smallpox, ty
phoid, yellow fever. measles or any other
Of the diseases that are much feared. 1t
results in more fatalities than any other
disease in America today.
Yet summer complaint is almost en-
tirely due to the drinking of bad milk.
There is a bacteria in milk that causes
these intestinal diseases. When that bac-
terra exists in only certain numbers there
is no danger. But when it exists in too
great numbers 1t fastens disease upon the
child.
II milk Is kept cold the bacteria does
not multiply. II 1t is let get warm they
increase in numbers prodigiously and
warm milk may become deadly in half an
hour So, If the milk comes from healthy
cows, is kept clean and is kept cool, it is

SECOND SIGHT.
An Apparition That Was a Messenger
Of Death.

An Apparition That Was a Messenger
Of Death.
The third Lord Templetown used to
tell Of an extraordinary and really au-
thentic case of second sight. His
brother, Henry Upton, the second WIS.,
count, was with his regiment abroad
when he and several brother officers
saw an old friend wearing trousers
and shirt only pass through the mess
room to another room from which
there was no outlet. They followed
and saw nobody, and the sentry per-
sisted that no person had entered.
Henry Upton wrote to his brother,
afterward third %viscount, to request
him to go to their friends lodgings In
London and find out what he was do
ing at such and such an hour on a GER
tain day. The brother in London COM
Piled and found that their friend had
died, but not on the day he had been
seen abroad.
Later the landlady was asked on
oath as to the date and hour Of death
and whether he had died In a white
shirt with a blue check. After some
demur she confessed that her lodger
did not die when she first stated, but
on the day when his friends had seen
him pass through the mess room.
1t seems the date Of demise had
been falAfed on account of his pen
sion, which was almost. all his family
had to depend upon. And he died in
a white shirt with a blue check, his
landlady having lent one Of her hus-
bands to him on the morning of his
death,-London Court Journal.

Pink In rose petal shade, sky and pale

Derivation of Blue Monday.


The term blue Monday was derived
from a custom prevalent in the six
teenth century Of decorating the
churches in Europe with blue colors
on the Monday before Lent. The fash
ion Of making a holiday of this par
ticular Monday, especially for those
whose yocations compelled them to
work on Sunday, was subsequently
transferred to all Mondays. Excuses
produced by the celebration resulted
In stringent enactments on the sub
ject, and finally the custom was abol-
ished. One tradition has 1t that the
name originated from the Monday hol-
iday revels, which generally left blue
marks upon the faces Of quarrelsome
persons.-New York Telegram.

Sheepskin was used as parchment
before the invention of paper. Even
then 1t was a substitute for vellum,
which is made from calfsktn and of a
far finer quality than parchment, and
was employed for fine illuminated
work. Tanned sheepskins are in the
trade called basils. For these there
are many legitimate uses, but it is for
imitation purposes that the s~heepsk1n
is most largely used.
