The third codicil announces that
upon consideration the testator found
incorrect the statement in the will
that he had given his son securities
netting $4,000 year However, he
said, this mistake did not warrant an
increase n the legacy to Harry Hank

The codicil also provides for leg

and empowers his trustees to borrow
money for the extension Of his rail-
road to Key West,

For weeks FlagIer lay thus. No

been estranged from his father for Il
years was not summoned until by
Amasa P. Flagler Friend, another
for whom Mr.. Flagler called. lived on
the grounds, within half a mile of

that ]. A Mcdonald, of Miami, an
old friend Of Mr. Flagler, and Father
Mclaughlin, a Catholic priest Of Mi

MOTHERS
SAVE MANY LIVES
Greatest Factor in Preventing
Infant Mortality Has Been
the Care Given Them by
Their Older Sisters.

WASHINGTON. Nov. f5.-Teaching
the little mothers" Of The slum babies
infant hygiene was described as one
OF the greatest factors in preventing
infant mortality hs speakers at the
opening session here Friday of the
fourth annual convention OF the
American Association for Study and
Prevention OF Infant Mortality.
The little mother" problem was
brought TO the attention of the assoc
citation in a discussion following the
statement by DIT. J. A. NJ. Knox of
Baltimore that girls IN the elementary
schools should be given lessons in in
FAINT hygiene. Several speakers point
cd out that many girls OF poor fam
lies were unable 10 attend school be
cause Of their baby sisters and that
for that reason the instruction should
be extended beyond the school room.
Lack OF adequate knowledge on the
part of many practitioners regarding
the latest developments in the care Of
babies during the first few months of
life was deplOred by DR.. 1. a. Abt Of
Chicago.
Miss Frances Etchberger of Balti-
more. discussing Nursing and Social
Work" declared that the babies Of the
prince and the pauper received the
greatest care. the former because of
the ability TO pay for the best medical
attention and the latter because Of the
great growth Of public health nursing
She said an effort TO reach the
public In between, she declared.
should be made by the association.
The difficulty Of reaching rural
mothers and teaching them TO care
FOR their infants was described by
Miss Mamie Clement of Washington.
She said visiting nurses had much
trouble In convincing such mothers a
vital necessity for cleanliness and
proper feeding and that the babies
were Jest fetched up, with little or
no attention 10 their health.
Friday night a general session at
the National museum was addressed
by DR.. l.. Emmett Holt Of New York
president Of the association. He de-
clared that the infant mortality prob
lem could be successfully solved only
by community interest and organize

While Last Year 1t Hit Sixty
Cent Mark.

WASHINGTON. Nov 15.-Produc-
ton of eggs in the United States has
increased steadily during the past IA
years. The price of eggs also has
