I & The discovery and the cause Of child
bed fever, % called And lastly
6. The hygiene Of pregnancy. Childbear-
ing was considered formerly As . physio-
logical process and the expectant mother
was not accustomed to send for the doc
| tor, until needed to ofnciate at the birth.
Fortunately this custom H. changed. and
medical supervision has done much to pre-
vent the progress Of serious and fatal
consequences.
Hygiene Of pregnancy includes the at
tention TO clothing. exercise and fresh air:
the care Of the akin. the teeth. the excre-
lions OF the digestion. bowel. and kidneys.
Food InpoFtant Question.
First in Importance regarding the by.
giene Of motherhood comes the fulnllment
Of the sacred duty to nurse the offspring.
to give the baby the food nature in
tended IL should have. Regularity in
nursing the baby stimulates the retrograde
changes Of the enlarged organs and re-
duces them to normal size and weight.
Backache. dragging pains. and displace-
ments are the nemesis Of failure to per-
form this duty: while the consequences
to the baby are worse. The high NOR
tality rate Of babies 10 largely due to the
patent baby foods and substitutes for
mothers milk.
Mothers who fall to nurse their babies
belong to two classes:
l. Those who have the desire but are
unable to do 20 because the glands are
undeveloped. Fully 20 per cent of the
young women OF to-day marry. bear chill
dren and are physically unable to nurse
the offspring.
2 Those who can nurse the baby but
will not suffer the Inconvenience. Such
women are devoid Of the maternal in
stinct. and are willing to sacrifice the
welfare Of themselves and offspring to
social obligations.
SclAshness II Cause.
The highest privilege and the sacred
duty of maternity Is nursing the offspring
Selfshne.s is often the cause Of weaving,
and the higher the social scale of the par
ents the more frequently is the duty
shirked. The pleasures OF social life, teas
card parties, receptions. luncheons, &C..
draw young mothers away from home
duties. and none of these duties is so ex-
acting and sacred as that Of furnishing
the food to the baby which nature has
provided.
One writer truthfuily said: "A woman
who cannot or will not forego the ephem-
eral pleasure and pastimes Of society
should exc out her life as a spinster''
The voluntary or compulsory weaving of
infants has given rise to the demand for
patent baby foods until the market 10
flooded with the products Of manufactur-
ers on an enormous scale Pictures of fat
babies smile at US from the pages Of
newspapers and magazines. and the adver-
tisements say they were raised on this or
that food product Unfortunately, many
other babies have been raised to worlds
unknown" but we do not see their pic
lures. The evidence Of this must be
sought in graveyaris where tombstones
bear silent witness to the high rate Of
in early life.

Refused Million Dollars.
On the market valUe Of Monticello Mr..
Levy will not give an opinion nor Will
he quote a figure at which he would part
with the estate; but 1t Is known in Char
lottesville that once when the head of
the Vanderbilt family was . guest at

and refused and that Mr.. Vanderbilt then
asked If any amount greater than that

As to maintenance. country estates Of
