ARMY TO INVESTIGATE
LIFE-SAVING DEVICES
FOR USE ON TRANSPORTS

The army will soon begin an exhaustive
investigation into the qualities Of various
types Of lifeboats and life RATS, for
use on army transports. This step is
result Of the agitation following the
loss Of 1.5oo persons with the sinking OF
the White Star liner Titanic. Congress
has appropriated $4,000 for the purchase
Of lNeboats and life RATS, but this
money will not be expended until It
has been determined exactly what are
the best models available.
Hundreds Of devices for the saving OF
life at sea have been offered to the
Quartermaster General for adoption in
the transport service. These will receive
thorough tests in the coming 'investiga-
ton. Three boards will conduct this In
yestigation, one at Newport News. Va ;
one on the Pacific Coast, and third
in the Philippines.

Gives Many Warnings.
ITO sum up the problem Of the sum-

ishing infant mortality. would list the
following warnings:
Get clean milk and keep It cold. Pro-
tect the child from files Keep the child
from crawling on the floor or in dirty
places. Assure yourself of the absolute
cleanliness Of everything that goes into
the baby's mouth.
Don't feed the baby the parts Of fruit
which have been exposed. Avoid sooth-
ing sirups and starchy foods Have q
physician or a free milk dispensary plan
the baby's diet.
Give the baby plenty OF fresh air, but
avoid drafts and such exposures as
open trolleys. particularly at night Dress
the child as lightly as possible to avoid
chilling. Goods CT coarse weave. which
permit the heat to escape from the body
and at the same time prevent the outside
heat from penetrating, are best.
1T Is. particularly important in sum-
mer that all health rules be applied to
the ultimate degree. 1t is particularly
important that regular hours be observed.
Get the child to be dearly and avoid

bottle should be made except on the ad-
vice OF physician, nor should the
mother plan a dietary without a ply
sician's advice. There are few cities now
where such advice cannot be obtained
free at milk dispensaries or hospitals.
Above all, in feeding the baby, the
mother should let the much-advertised
patent baby foods severely alone except
on the advice Of a physician. Most Of
these foods are expensive, and many are
absolutely injurious to the baby. No
child should be given any starchy food
before 1t is one year old. yet many Of
these patent foods contain a great deal
of starch.
Soothing Sirup Dangerous.

masks the symptoms of the true trouble
Despite their labels. some soothing sirups

velopment Would Improve City.
Paris. July T.-The latest scheme in
city development would clear away the
narrow streets that border the Palais
Royal, and thus give the architecture
dignity and freedom from encroachment
and at the same time build a large edi-
fice OF the Palace garden. The new con-
struction would house the Bourse, now
cramped for space in it's present home
In the square cut by the Rue du Quatre
Septembre and served by several mar
row streets from the main boulevards.
The chief advantage of the project
would be to restore to the Palais Its
features of pre-revolution times. and to
bring a current of business and affairs TO
its deserted corridors. which resounded
in the old days to the red heels of the
eallants and to the echo OF state secrets.
The home Of the splendid monument
would be saved from violation. for no
hands could touch the outer walls, but
simply build within for the growing and,
indeed. pressing, needs of the Exchange

WARNING TO PARENTS.

It is risky to feed raw milk and
cream to children or invalids un-
less you are sure that at the farm
which produces the milk the ut
most cleanliness is observed at all
times, particularly during milk
ing; that the employees are thor
oughly healthy and cleanly per-
sons. that the cows are free from
diseases. that the water used for
rinsing is of undoubted purity. and
that the milk is quickly cooled and
kept cold and covered until de-
livered to you.
Raw milk often produces Tuber-
culosis. Scarlet Fever, also Ty-
phoid and other intestinal dis
eases.
We can guard against infection
by properly pasteurizing milk or
byhome pasteurization.
Properly pasteurizing milk land

for twenty to thirty minutes does
not affect its nutritive value nor
its digestibility. Quick or CONNER

reliable.
You can home pasteurize raw
milk by heating 1t to near boiling,
