their labors in one corner of the county,

INFANT MORTALITY.

At the recent international
congress for the consideration
Of means for lessening infantile
mortality, Hon. Nathan Straus,
the New York phiIanthropIst,
said that nearly half of the in
fants that die In America are
the victims of improper feeding.
II 1t be considered that resist
ance to disease, in infants as In
adults, Is dependent primarily
upon proper nutrition, In which
food IS fundamental, the ger
centsse Of lnfantlIe deaths re-
sultlng from other causes than
improper feeding, Is seen to be
comparatively small. If half the
effort spent on so-called scien-
tific cooking instruction were de-
voted to teaching the art of
feeding adults and Infants natur-
ally the results would be in .
finitely better.

THAT CLUSTERED FEELING.

when I have so much to do I get
in such a furry that nothing goes
right" said a woman the other day.
Proba bly, most of us feel like this
sometimes. But II you give way to
the feeling it is quite likely that you
will furry and fuss all through the
day. and have made yourself almost
Ill with worry by night.
One wise woman says that when she
feels she is getting fustered over her
household or other duties she rests for
a few minutes at once. No matter
whether she thinks she can spare the
time or not, ten minutes rest or read
in quiet room works wonders for
her, she says, and she is generally
able at the end of that time to start
methodically to work again and get
things done quickly and easily.
Anyway, 1t sounds plan worth try
ing, more especially as the flustered
feeling is generally caused by nerves.
and rest is the finest thing In the
world for quieting these.
So tho next time you feel like this
try the rest cure If you can possibly
manage it, and you may be surprised
at the good result.

bone-have 1t broken up and put all
into strong earthen jar. Place the Jar
in large saucepan of boiling water
and tie the cover down with a piece
of strong white paper, using neither
salt nor pepper. Let It boil slowly
all day. When done the jar will be
filled with meat gravy; strain this,
and when cold 1t will be strong

Pour boiling water over little OF

DRESS HINT TO WOMEN
- OF SMALL MEANS.

The tunic Is a very important item
In our evening gowns at the moment,
and it is in the variety of IT'S draptne
and arrangement THAT novel and de-
lightful results win ensue. In fact,
frocks may be altered and made to
look entirely different by the rear
rangement and changing about OF
these tunics. For instance. If one Is
possessed of a we'll fitting white satin
frock, one may vary the tunic worn
over it, and a variety of effects may
be obtained. 1t is certainly worth
trying by the woman who has a Tim
tied number of frocks and many coca
sfons on which she must wear them.
Some little alteration or difference IN
the arrangement of shades worn with
a 'frock gives an air 1T novelty and in
tterest.
Some women are Gent to fish out
the same frock and wear 1t continu-
ally with even the selfsame spray OF
flowers pinned on. 1t does not seem
to OCCUR to them what an almost end
less variety can be obtained by little
changes here and there, with perhaps
different ornaments and ways OF
dressing the hair. No woman should
scorn such details, and in her desire
to look her best she can easily get in
to the habit of critically examining
herself and her clothes.
TO go back to the subject Of tunics
and the wonderful ingenuity which is
exercised in them. that they have a
great effect In altering the shape and
appearance of the figure is fact most
of us have realized. A tall, slim fig'
ure can, Of course, stand practically
any arrangement of this ubiquitous
overdress, but the short or stout wo-
man in this, as in many other details
of her toilet. has to be most careful
that no hard line, which may detract
in any way from her height or any I'm.
due fulness. should be worn. All lines
should sweep downward or slope side
ways, always keeping in view the wish
to add length and take away any sus.
ptcion of width in the figure.

mixture is perfectly smooth, add the

whether the invalid is only suffering

should be given at time, as it is

ICEBERG WARNINGS UNHEEDED

New York, April 19.--How the
White Star liner Titanic, which was
the largest ship afioat, sank off the
Grand banks of Newfoundland on
Monday morning last, carrying to
their death 1,6O1 of the 2,340 persons
aboard, was told to the world in all
its awful details for the first time
last night with the arrival of the
Cunard liner Carpathia bearing the
exhausted survivors of the catas-
trophe. OF the great facts that stand
out from the chaotic account OF the
tragedy, these are the most salient:
The death list has been increased
rather than decreased. Six persons
died after being rescued.
The list of prominent persons lost
stands as previously reported. ~
Practically every woman and child,
with the exception Of those women
who refused to leave their husbands,
were saved. Among these last was
Mrs. Isador Straus.
The survivors on the lifeboats saw
the lights on the stricken vessel glim-
mer to the last, saw the doomed
| hundreds on her deck and heard their
groans and cries when the vessel
sank.
Accounts vary as to the extent of
the disorder on board.
Not only was the Titanic tearing
through the April night to her doom
with every ounce Of steam crowded
on, but she was under orders from
the general officers of the line to
rake all the speed of which she was
capable. This was the statement
made last night by J. H. Moody,
helmsman on the night of the disas-
ter. He said the ship was making
twenty-one knots an hour and the Of
ficers were striving to live up to the
orders to smash the record.
1T was close to midnight said
Mr.. Moody, land I was on the bridge
with the second officer, who was in
command. Suddenly he shouted Port
your helm l did so, but it was too
late. We struck the submerged por-
ton of the berg"
OF many accounts given by the pas
sengers, most of them agreed that
the shock when the Titanic struck
the iceberg, although ripping her
great sides like q giant can opener,
did not greatly jar the entire vessel,
for the blow was a glancing one along
her side, The accounts also agree
substantially that pr bookeSs 81" !,
