which has now decided to go further
and lay down laws for mothers.
The government has prepared for
introduction at the coming session of
the Reichstag, a bill prohibiting, un-
der stringent penalties, the manufac-
ture or sale of nursing bottles hav-
ing tube of rubber, glass or other
substance. In a communication ac-
companying the measure the govern
ment states that one-third of the
deaths of nursing infants are due to
diseases of the digestive organs, which
in turn are caused for the most part
by the use of nursing bottles with
tubes between the nipple =, and the
milk. Not only are the tubes almost
impossible to keep clean, but they
lead to overfeeding, with often fata!
consequences.
Experience having shown the i'm
possibility of stopping the use of such
bottles by instruction or warning, the
government has finally determined to
proceed against them by law.

slid down onto the cable effectually

located the Stka end of the break.
and ever since had been trying to
pick up the other end This was
done at last and the wire between
there and Wrangell tested out. when
it was found that it had grounded
between the two points so that the
current short circuited and failel

buOyed up, and the crew proceeded
to examine the cable between there
and Wrangell to find out if possible
what was wrong. Then discovery
was made that for the greater part
of the three miles. the cable was
completely buried. This morning
the ship picked up the inshore end
of the cable, made a splice and laid
