Department Store Can't Handle Drug,

Notices are being sent out to depart
ment stores in Kansas by the state
board of health to the effect that they
are violating the law by selling medi-
cal preparations unless their depart
ments handling the preparations are
in charge of registered pharmacists.
Most department stores in the state
handle preparations for which medi-
cal properties are claimed. But there
is a state law prohibiting the sale of
medicines or medical preparations by
stores or individuals not registered
pharmacists within given number OF
miles of registered pharmacist. The
department stores are located in cit
les where there are numerous drug
stores, hence they do not come within
the exception. Some manufacturers are
evading that feature of the law by
changing their labels.

ON CARE OF INFANTS.
"Save the Babies" Leaflet Issued by
Kansas Health Board.

"Save the Babies" is the caption Of
a leflet just issued by the state board
of health. 1t consists of rules to be
observed in the care and management
of infants during the summer
"The hot weather of the summer"
says the leaflet, lis extremely danger
Gus to the lives of infants and young
children, not only because of the de-
pressing effects of high atmospheric
temperature in general, but more es-
pecially because of the effect of hot
weather upon all perishable articles
of food, among which cows milk holds
the first place.
1T is therefore highly important
that COWS milk to be used for infants
food should be the purest and freshest
that you can buy. During the hot wea-
Their ice is absolutely necessary for the
preservation of milk, and all milk used
for food should be cooled by Ice as
soon as it comes from the COW and
should be kept next to the ice until
ready to be used. A little money spent
for ice may prevent illness and its
much greater expense for medicine,
nursing and medical attendance. AS
water is often a carrier of disease, it
is safest to use only boiled water for
drinking or the preparation of baby's
food.
THE following rules will aid you in
keeping your baby well during the hot
weather: N
Every mother should endeavor to
nurse her baby. Breast milk is the
natural food of the new born baby.
There is no other food that can COM
pare with it, A breast-fed baby has \
much greater chance of living than a
bottle-fed baby.
Immediately after birth do not give
any kind of artificial food to the baby,
while waiting for the breast milk to
come. Put the baby to the breast
every few hours and give nothing else
but water that has been boiled. The
baby needs nothing else and will not
starve. After the milk comes into the
breast nurse the baby every two hours
during the day and two or three times
at night.
"a moderate amount of crying helps
to develop the lungs. Babies who are
nursed irregularly, or whenever they
cry, are likely to get Indigestion and
then cry the harder from pain
Nurse regularly and the baby will soon
learn to expect its nursing only at the
proper intervals. Give the baby lit
tie boiled water several times day.
after the baby is two months old
lengthen the time between feeding to
two and half or three hours, with
only one or two feelings at night.

Picnic Roads.

The current number OF The Bar
under the heading 'iPlcknickers, =
contains several excellent points in
regard to the new road laws. The
Bar says:
About the first bill that was In
troduced this session of the legisla-
ture was an act to do away with
road engineers
Road engineers marked the only
advance this state has made in the
last hundred years toward scientific
road making. 1t was and is the
chief provision in the road law that
promised substantial Improvement
in the public roads.
For the last hundred years or
more our public roads haye been
made by picnic parties composed of
the assembled inhabitants of any To-
sality, who held jamboree on the
banks of the highways, ate lunches,
snapped Jokes, exchanged the Cos
sip of the neighborhood, spent a
pleasant holiday, and lby way of oc-
casional diversion threw dirt, stone
and debris at or on the road as it
happened, by way of generating
themselves from any road taxes.
The roads made under this pic
mic policy never looked different
nor were they an essential improve
ment on the Indian trails after
which they were fashioned. Every
intelligent inhabitant OF this state,
who has taken an intelligent inter-
est in the improvement of our roads.
has been raising his voice in season
and out OF season in behalf Of a
scientific system as substitute for
the picnic system. Their hone has
been based on having practical
engineer as supervisor in lieu OF a
picntcker and loafer; of having the
money-the immense amount of
money-that has annually been bur-
led in the mud and chuck holes

Of West Virginia Coal Opera
tors Owing to Cheaper
Production.

WASHINGTON, ID. o. Feb. g.
Competition with West Virginia is
held responsible by the United States
Geological Survey for the decrease
in the value OF ohioSco shown dur
ing the year 1909. figures for which
year are just available. While the
output OF Ohio increased in 1909
over that of 1908 by over 1,16s,-
O02 tons, the value of the total out
put OF the state decreased $fOs, 6s4.
The average price per ton declined
from $1,Os in 1908 to 80 cents in
1909.
The decline in price and the con-
sequent lower value of ohto's coal
in 1907 says a bulletin Just is
sued by the Geological Survey" are
attributed to the competition OF
West Virginia coal. Unhampered by
the restrictions that effect the states
in which, as Ohio the miners are
more thoroughly organized, and
also because of the more favorable
conditions for cheap mining, the
Goals Of West Virginia are said to
be mined at about one-halF the cost
OF, producing coal in Ohio, and the
West Virginia product has invaded
the Ohio markets to the fun extent
permitted by the difference in cost
of transportation
The total production OF coal in
Ohio in 1909 was 27,s3s,641 short
tons, valued at s27,7Ss,O1O. as COM
pared with a production in 1908 OF
26,27OJ63s short tons valued at
s27,ss7.7O4.
OF the twenty-elght counties IN
which coal was produced on com
mercial scale in 1909, production in
creased in eighteen and decreased in
ten. The most important increases
were in Belmont county. 467,796
tons; Jefferson 317,1O2 tons, Tus-
carawas 219,1T4 tons. Athens 1885,,
952 tons, Noble 1858 tons, and
columbinana 1920 tons. The
only county which showed any
marked decrease was Hooking.
whose production fell of 2SS,14i
tons.
The most conspicuous feature of
the coal mining industry in Ohio for
the year 1909 was the marked in
crease in the quantity of coal under
cut by machines. Ohio has been for

Matson,s Homo Exults.

Baltimore newspapers are still
clarifying over the naming OF thu
United States senator from west
Virginia and Maryland. Judging
from the qualification expressed over
on the Chesapeake bay, Watson's
election means about as much to
Baltimore as It does to West vir.
ginia, perhaps more. At any rate
the business interests" there an-
pear to be quite jubilant over the
'"Fairmont' mans elevation. The
Baltimore Evening Sun contributes
the latest paean of praise as fol-
lows:
West Virginia. is a state of material
things. Possessing greater natural
wealth than Pennsylvania and stand
ing at the threshold of her develop
ment, West Virginia is more deeply
concerned about business leadership
than national or party considera-
tions. The selection OF Mr.. Clar-
ence w. Watson for the senatorshlp
made vacant by the death of Stephen
B. Elkins is in line with the asplra-
lions Of a young, rich aad rapidly
developing community.
Mr.. Watson is. perhaps, the ablest
business man in his state. His ac-
tivities have been beneficial to BAL
timore, and the business interests
of this city will be gratified at his
elevation to the Senate. He is
identified with baltimore and In
touch with its conditions and needs.
In any matter affecting its interests
he may be counted on to cooperate
intell!gently and efficiently with
Maryland's representative in Con-
gress. In the Sun this morning he
pledges his support to the move
ment to secure the Democratic con-
venton for Baltimore. He is an or.
ganizer and a worker. and. his as
sistance will be most valuable.

Mr.. Robinson's Empty Promise.

Correspondence from Charleston
published in Democratic newsoapers
states that Delegate James w. robin.
son oversight the day the final vote
in the House on the prohibition sub.
mission amendment was taken. To
some extent Delegate Robinson
made his campaign on that issue and
the night before the election in a
speech at Bridgeport he appears TO
have come out squarely for the
amendment as shown by the Expo
nent's report election morning OF
the meeting, when 1t used these
words:
Mr.. Robinson dealt chiefly with
state and local issues. Following
his statement that he favored the
submission of the prohibition amend
ment. the applause continued for
several minutes"
Mr.. Rdbinson's failure to appear
at the very time, when his vote
might have been needed to save the
measure creates the suspicion that
he lodged the question and kept
bad faith with those to whom he
pledged himself on the question
during the campaign and even up to
the very eve of the election. He
had had due notice of the fact that
the question was to be disposed Of
finally by the House and yet that
fact seems not to have impressed
him sufficiently to cause him to
be at all disturbed in his slumibers.
He simply slept on and on without
worry over the fate of the measure.
and thus did campaign promise
solemnly made ring with appalling
emptiness. -

says:
We trust that the necessary votes

Still
As GAS STATE
AS Shown by Statistics Made
UP in the City Of
Washington.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. e.
West Virginia continues second in
the production of natural gas, ac.
cording to returns from the Geolog-
ical Survey and the Census Bureau,
working together. West virginia
has been second in the value Of Its
natural gas output since 1908, when
1t passed Indiana. From 1899 to
1902 West Virginia was third in gas
production. Figures on the value Of
the gas produced in 1909 and 1910
have not been given out but enough
is known to show that Pennsylvania
still ranks first in value of gas pro-
duced and West Virginia second.
The estimated value of the total
natural gas production Of the United
States for 1909 is $50, 900 900, an
increase of only about $36O,O0O over
that OF 1908, while the value OF the
product of 1910 is estimated at
$57. 10000
There were no great changes in
the natural gas industry during
1901, according to b. Hill, in charge
of this branch of the Geological Sur
yey work. The PRODUCTION continued
to decline in Kansas, while an in
crease was noted in Oklahoma, in
the cado field in Louisiana and in
Texas.
What promises to be a very large
supply of natural gas has been de-
veloped in the Buena Vista hills in
Kern county, California, east of the
