Roosevelt supporters now claim one
delegate in the eighth district. If this
is true Roosevelt will have 19 dele

in the eighth district gives Taft only
three votes plurality over the Roose-
Welt man. The Roosevelt supporters
are circulating petitions demanding
recount of votes.

established and much has been accom-
plished by each.
At the actual moment of Italian oc-
cupation, the greatest problem that
confronted the new government was
that of public health and sanitation,
both temporarily and permanently.
The country, at all times subject to
infections epidemics, was then being
swept by cholera which had begun in
1910 and continued into the fall of
1911. Nothing had been provided an
der the Turkish regime with which to
combat this situation save a single iso-
lation hospital, municipal hospital
and a municipal pharmacy, all in
state of deplorable sanitation them
selves, and all practically worthless
from a lack of adequate equipment.
A sanitary commission was at once
established blythe new government
and such vigorous measures taken, not
only against the epidemic itself but
for the establishment of permanent
sanitary conditions, that the cholera
was entirely stamped out in very
short time. Since then, adequate hos
pitfalls with ambulance service have
been contracted, chemical and bacter-
biological laboratories equipped, pure

/ complete system of public pro-
lection has been established with a
police system for the city while
branches of the Royal Carabinieri
have been installed throughout the
country. Scores of the former police
officials of Tripoli are now enrolled
in the Italian police service.
While Italy has thus provided first
for the most pressing needs of the peo-
pie of Tripoli, she has also seen to it
taht the intellectual development has
kept pace with the new material pro-
gres. Previous to the actual Italian
occupation of Tripoli the Italian gov
ernment has already established there
schools attended by 1000 natives. These
schools worked side by side with those
maintained by the various missionar
les and attended by 350 In addition,
the Turks themselves had established
schools, attended by 1850 students,
including a military school, and day
and night school which had been the
especial provision of the Young
Turks committee or union ana pro-
gress. Since the actual occupation,
Italy has made it possible for all of
these schools to continue under i'm
proved conditions while a special COM
mission is working out the problem of
modern school education for the entire
country.
All of the charitable institutions
that existed before the occupation, or
that have been established since, in
Guiding several maintained by the
Jewish residents, have now been plac
ed under the surveillance of the Italian
authorities to insure their proper con-
duct, as we'll as their future welfare.
Side by side these more urgent ne
cessities for the people themselves,
Italy has worked rapidly as possible
for the establishment of those public
works most necessary for the material
development of the country. Despite

| caution and preventative provided foi
combating and wipirg out the various
| infectious plaques to which the native
population in the past has been sub
| jected
In the providing alone of an ade-
quate pure water supply there was
involved the construction of a gigantic
reservoir with capacity of 2000 tons
of water, filtration plant, a steam
pumping station, and the building of
acqueducts from the wells of Bu- Mel
lana to the city of Tripoli. AS further
safeguards of the public health, this
commission now has under way, the
erection of an immense steam laun-
dry and public wash houses for all
who care to use them.
The work of this sanitation COM
mission has gone hand in hand with
that of the new municipal government
which has been established for the
city of Tripoli, and in the administra
ton of which many of the natives
have been retained. The homeless
people of the city were first provided
for thousands being removed from
the congested quarters of the city
to the oasis where they were provid-
ed with food, clothing and farming
utensils. Later, many were brought
back aid established in homes in the
districts closer to the city A serv-
ice of municipal cleanliness was then
installed, including everything from
street sweeping up; the entire city
lighted with electricity and acetylene;
meat, fish, fruit, vegetable and other
markets established; municipal
slaughterhouse provided and also an
immense municipal baking plant to in
sure proper food.
The municipality is now working
out system of public transportation
and in short time there will not
only be a street service of horse cars
but of automobiles as well.

ROME, May Previous to the oc-
cupation of Tripoli by Italy, it may be
justly said that Turkey had done moth
ing towards the development of the
country save the establishment of
methods, both excessive and violent,
for the collection Of taxes and duties.
Nothing had been done towards the
buildings of roads, the establishing of
water supply and distribution, the en-
forcing of public sanitation, or the
providing of public education, save
to accept what had generously been
done in this later respect by the var
ious Christian missionaries.

KEEPING BABIES IN HEALTH
Success Of Tent Scheme Last Sum-
mcr So Pronounced That 1t
Will Be Repeated.

Mothers of little babies that suffered
much from the intense heat in the
early part of July last summer win be
interested in the success of the baby
tent" scheme adopted In some of the
big cities.
The tents are placed on fiat roofs Of
tail buildings and in open lots. with
eight little cradles or cots in each
tent. When all was ready mothers
OF babies under two years were invited
to leave them at the nearest available
tent over night, so that the young
sters. In addition to enjoying the privi-
lege of sleeping out of doors, could
also receive the attention of trained
nurses and doctors free.
Some of the tents have a perforated
iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply. On very hot nights the water
was turned on and allowed to stream
down over the canvas. By evapora-
ton it greatly reduced the tempera-
ture inside the tents. Some of the
tents We're also kept cool by the use
of large blocks of ice in tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies COM
fortably COOL
This is the way some of the poor
babies are being cared for, but the
IDEAS could be utilized by any one
who had the welfare of the baby at
heart.

FAvoRITE DISHES.

The homely, old-fashioned boiled din
ner Is not much spoken OF these days.
and yet 1t has many stanch supporters
all over our land. The drawback with
boiled dinner for a family of two is
that there is so much left over. This
Is extremely nice for hash, but once
served in that way is sufficient. A
small boiled dinner may be prepared,
but even then there is large amount
OF left-overs. A good plan for the low
ers of the old-fashioned dish is to
gather together those who enjoy it and
have feast. A head of cabbage or
two, few potatoes, turnips and car
rots all boiled together with a good
thick piece of well-favored salt pork.
Corned beef is liked by many in
stead of the salt pork A small bag
