er Is productive Of sickness, espec'
4 tally among babies, and is causing
the city health department to work
overtime. Scores Of calls are receiv-
Ell at the offices daily from mothers
who want to know how to care fol
the young during the hot days and

IS. City Physician H. L. Sayler re-
Gently issued the first monthly

Don't make the baby laugh,
and don't sleep with the baby; let
him sleep alone" are two OF his
chief admonitions.
DR.. sayler also tells how to con-
struct an icebox at a cost not ex-
.ceeding rs cents. The plan is this:
.Take an ordinary soap box or
packing case. In this place a tin
pail surrounded with a sheet OF tin
bent in circular form, which makes
an air space. Between this and the
walls Of the box pack sawdust.
Place ice in the circular chamber
surrounding the pail. Fold a dozen
thicknesses of newspaper the size Of
of the box and place over. the top,
and cover with lid. The cost OF
the ice for a box of this kind would
be but few cents day, and will
keep the babys milk sweet and
COOL"
Another warning is not to feed
the baby milk that is over twelve
hours old unless it has been preserv-
ed cool by ice or running water.
Mothers should take especial care
that the milk they buy is pure and
sweet, according to the health office.

Attention will be called to the
large number OF deaths Of childres

Train Service to Be Improved.

During the past few months COM
mittees of the Bellows Falls board of
trade have been in correspondence
with the officials of the Rutland rail-
road urging the matter of better train
service between here and Rutland and
Burlington, particularly the running of
the evening train from Burlington
through to Bellows Falls. This has.
been lone to accommodate our present
citizens and to benefit Bellows Falls
interests by making this a better place
for travelling men to locate in. Here
tofore the only evening train from
Rutland has been a mixed train reach
ing here at 6 o'clock, and making no
connection north of Rutland. Acceed-
ing to the request of the board Of trade
the Rutland railroad now announce that
when the summer schedule takes effect
they will start a regular passenger
train from here for Rutland, B%urling-
ton and Montreal at $40 am. in the
place of the mixed train that leaves
now at Z O'Clock. This new train will
make a connection with the train from
Fitchburg bringing the morning papers
and reaching here at s o'clock. This
train will return from Rutland at S.25
pm. Another important change is the
arrival of a train from Rutland at 10. 20

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
Rockingham Hospital Opened.

The new Rockingham, hospital was
very auspiciously opened to the public
Saturday, and during the afternoon and
evening IL was estimated that at least
500 people called and inspected 1t. No
patients had been accepted up to that
time, the last of the fittings of the op-
Grating room having been received only
that morning. During the afternoon and
until nearly midnight a throng of peo-
pie passed through the various rooms,
and only expressions of surprise and
pleasure at the beauty and completeness
of the buildings and furnishings were
heard. Many people brought articles of
usefulness and comfort for the institution,
and from the visitors Treasurer A. E.
futile received during the day nearly
$500 in cash to swell the available funds.
IN orchestra furnished music, and ladies
served light refreshments A number of
patients were brought in Sunday MORN
ing and there nave been from three to
six there ever since.
Bellows Falls takes pride in the fru-
ition of many years Of work in behalf
Of the institution and without doubt it
has come to stay. The building is a
nearly new one, erected a few years ago
by l. b. Newman for his own use, and
now reftted for hospital purposes and
rented to the association for five years
with an option for purchase at any time.
1t is furnished into one ward with three
beds, one with two, and two private
rooms. In the third story are two rooms
for nurses. Two regular nurses are en-
ployed, one being the superintendent,
and a h~ousekeeper. All the physicians Of
the town are on the hospital staff. The
physicians contributed the fittings for
the operating room, which are of the
most modern and best to be had. The
hospital is on Williams terrace street,
on a terrace overlooking the village and
Connecticut valley for many miles north
and south, and the location seems an
ideal one in every way.
