PREPARED FOOD FOR INFANTS.

To the Editor of Tie Tribune.
Sir. NV attention has been drawn 10 an
address given by DR.. Charles q. kerley at
the child's Welfare Exhibit recently, IN
which he severely criticised prepared
food for infants" If his remarks were
allowed TO pass unchallenged a serious
charge would be laid at the door Of con-
Germs who have To do with infant feed
,rg- and one which would Justify their
extinction as being 4 menace to the public
welfare.
These preparations have been used, many
Of them for more than half a century ana
are still in the running, and | would al
most venture 10 say will still be IN the
running when DR.. Kerley has passed away
from human ken. These preparations have
been used successfully both 10y the public
and by the medical professiOn--in fact
the latter have recommended them IRE

the stomach Of a calf.
II would have been more 70 the point

nurse her own infant. and I'm case that

modify cows milk 10 make IT suited 10
human conditions, and the various con
stituents OF these foods, and how some
were better for one child than for another
I feel perfectly sure that many medical
men who stand as high as Or. kerley In
his profession do not take his extreme
view. and until medical men can oher
something better 10 the public than these
foods. which have stood the test of time
and experience for years. II would be wiser
for them to tell the people how to use

THE CUNNINGHAM CLAIMS
A Reply to Norman Hapgood
rditor ~ The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In reference 10 my recent comment
appearing In your columns Ia the matter
Of the Cunningham coal claims, ! pointed
out therein that IL the government re-
jected the claims and retained to itself title
to the lands there was no court on earth
open 10 the claimants. and absolutely no
relief for them in or by the judicial branch
of the government And In support OF this
statement ! cited certain cases decided by
the Supreme Court OF the United states
which any layman may read aud thereby
satisfy himself ny statement is true ana
correct I'm fact and in law. incidentally. ]
deplored the fact that certain conserva-
tionists (by courtesy were confusing pub
lie sentiment In the matter OF said claim
by erroneous statements and misleading
discussion.
Now comes Mr. Hapgood and furnishes
corroborative evidence 10 the truth Of this
last by fatty asserting that my state
ment IN reference TO the situation Of the
claimants and the powoTlessness Of the
courts 10 relieve or even hear them under

TyUr FROM SEA WATER.

The latest prescription for the savln:
of human life from some Of its most
formidable perils sounds much like the
fantasy Of an alchcmist or the prayer Of
some modern Ponce de Leon; yet it is not
for that reason 10 be- dismissed without
consideration. The works Of Pasteur,
Koch, Metchnikoff and others have often
suggested mere flights Of Imagination,
yet they have been intensely real and
practical. Whether the name of Or.
Ouinton is to be added To the list Of
great benefactors Of mankind is yet 10
be determined. But at least it may be
said that there seems 10 be nothing in
trinsically impossible in his proposal.
while on the contrary it contains much
that is plausible, and It Is being applied
in way which commends it 10 serious
attention. We may add that if the re-
suits which have been reported are Neri-
fed they will form basis for q large
degree of hope.
Or. Quinton addresses himself chiefly
10 the curing of maraSmus, or infantile
cholera. and similar wasting diseases Of
early childhood, and his method consists
in the injection of sea water into the
circulation. The water IS taken from a
point far enough from shore and below
the surface 10 assure its purity. for 1t
must not be steriiZed or artliicially
purified in any way. 1t Is diluted with
absolutely pure fresh water SO as 40
make il exactly isotonic with human
blood. Then It is injected, sometimes TO
the amount of ten fluid ounces day.
We are told that for three years the sys-
fem has been Oh trial In certain dispen-
saries in Paris. with gratifying results,
and that IL Is now 20 be carefully tried
In London.
The theory of DR.. Quinton is that all life
originated in the sea wafer and that pure
sea water is almost identical with the
organic plasmaS and is the culture liquid
for organic cells That theory Of bio
genesis is of course exceedingly ancient
and is abundantly advocated by many
Leading scientists. 1t IS also well known
that sea water is complex substance,
containing many elements, some Of
which have already been much used in
medicine. On the other hand, it will not
escape notice that ordinary and non
marine saline injections have often been
rcsorted 10 in cases Of great loss of
blood, with beneficial results, the effects
being. however. mechanical rather than
chemical and the fact that III many
cases very large doses Of the "Plasma de
Ouinton" seem seryiceable when smaller
ones were Of no avail suggests an in
quiry whether such may not be the effect
Of It, However this may be, the progress
Of the treatment will be watched by the
world with interest and with hope. We
have seen too many wonders in late
wears 10 be instantly skeptical of any
thing which offers serious promise OF

THE HEARTLESS INTERESTS" "

The Evening Post is moved TO ex.
Albany that the selfish interests which
control Murphy are more than ever de-
termined 10 bring about Sheehans cleo

fection. The only way 10 fight Murphy
ism is 10 fight Murphy Rhetoric is
wasted upon the selfish interests which
are the abhorrent source of his power.
They cannot clearly be identified. What
they are can only be guessed. But if
Murphy is driven out OF control Of the
Democratic party, or his party is kept
out Of Office so long as 1t represents the
selfish interests, their power TO do harm

The way 10 fight Murphy is not TO pre-
tend that he has lost control OF the
Democratic party or that that party has
been rehabilitated, when its reOrgan niz-

Interests OF Murphy, blinked in cow
ardly way the existence Of his bossism;
nor TO make believe that man who, as

with Murphy would, as Governor, prove
an effective check 10 Murphyism. What

EtNSlS CELEBRITIES.

Kansas celebrated Oh Sunday last the
fiftieth anniversary Of its admission
into the Union The states early history
was stirring and dramatic. aS were its
experiences a. territory seeking adlnls-
sion. The slave states objected To It's
entrance on any terms which would SHUT
out slavery, because II free common
wealth west of Missouri would circum-
scribe slave territory and stop the march
of tho peculiar institution" toward the
Pacific. From the time that Kansas be-
came territory, in 1884. under the guar
aptees of the Kansas Nebraska act al
lowing its citizens 20 determine for
themselves the question "f recognizing
or excluding slavery. its soil was hShi-
inc ground for North and South, and
control of its dPstinieS rs state was
the prize in n desperate struggle be
tween the adherents and opponents Of
the slave system.
lis first constitution adopted on No
vcnber l.. 1898, and ratified by the peo-
ulc on December j., 1SJ'l--WaS rejected
hv the United states Senate. The slave
bower was then triumphant at Washing
ton and federal pressure was brought 10
bear 10 induce the people of Kansas Il"
purchase admission by making conceo'
Sions 10 Southern wishes and policies.
A second constitution, known as the
Iecompton Constitution, was adopted by
complacent state convention on No
4
vomber :. 1887. and Congress fastened
to pass law admitting the stat" on me
ratification Of that instrument. But the
voters rejected the LecOmpion Constltu-
tion on January I. 1850, prcferring free
dom to statehood. After 1898 the IN
duence of the slave states rapidly dc
clined. and on October !, 1893. Kansas
voters ratified the Wygpdotte Constltu-
tion. under which admission was secured
near the rIose Of President buchanan :

SMALL THINGS THAT iRRlTATE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | noticed a paragraph in your pa
per few days ago regarding bill at
Albany which proposes 10 regulate the
charges at tho parcel room Of the New
York Central As this IS a matter in which
tie travelling public Is very much inter-
ested, would like 10 state for tho benert
OF the traffic managers that have often
used a competing line in going 10 Cincin-
matt, Chicago and other points rather than
pay the parcel room charges.
Ii seems TO nc that all OF the railroads
can well AFFORD TO take care, free or
charge, Of the packages Of passengers, out
side OF commuters, WHO show transporta-
ton at the time the package is checked.
While il Is true my company saved only
five cents on each article, the New YORK
Central lost its entire profit on each of the
frequent trips have made. 1t Is not the
saying of n few cents but the principle
OF petty extortion that is irritating.
