SCHMIDT WEEPS AS HE
MEETS AGED FATHER
Drops to Knees Before Parent and
Begs FOrgiveness-Lawyers
Try to Prove Insanity.

New York. Dec. 1.-THE case Of Hans
Schmidt, who is on trial here for the
murder of Anna Aumuller. was adjourned
early this afternoon in order to give
lawyers for the defense an opportunity
to consult with alienists.
This action was precipitated by testi-
mony which went to show that Schmidt
had told the girl that he had been or
dered by God to sacrifice her as Abraham
was ordered to sacrifice Isaac.
The trial will be resumed tomorrow.
The defendant consented this afternoon
to meet his father and his sister, who
arrived from Germany yesterday. The
meeting took place in the district at
torney's private office.
Schmidt was waiting in the room with
a detective when his sister entered. He
began to weep when he saw her. Then
the father came in. The murderer DROP
ped to his knees before his aged parent
and begged for forgiveness for the shame
and suffering that he had brought upon
the family.

I LITTLE TALKS ON BABYOLOGY
Nc.

Sc RICHARDSON

] dressed envelope sent to me at this
| office. The proportions given above
| are for a healthy child Of three months.
| The new born baby, and the delicate
baby require special proportions of
milk, water and sugar. A baby less
than a week old, for example, is given
or ounces Of milk with IL ounces of
water and no sugar. No mother OF a
delicate child, or a child whose diges-
ton is weak should decide on the
proper modification of milk without
consul ling her physician.
Now as TO the division of the milk
to be fed the baby. No bottle baby
should receive more than eight ounces
at feeding. His feelings are d.
vided into the same intervals as those
OF the nursing baby. The delicate
baby, from birth to three months, Is
fed every two hours from a. m. to
p. m. and once at 2 a. m; the robust
baby from birth on, every three hours.
All these instructions are for normal,
healthy babies, not for delicate, puny
babies. These require special advice.
special proportions In modified milk.
Finally the selection and care of the
bottle. Here are the simplest and
most compact instructions on this sub
ject. prepared by a baby specialist.
Every mother of a bottle-fed baby
should tack them up where she can
see them daily:
Care of Bottles and Nipples.
Bottles should be round, not fiat, SO
as to be easily cleaned, having no
sharp corners on the inside In which
milk collects.
Have as many bottles as there are
to be feelings in twenty-four hours.
IMMEDIATELY after a feeding is
taken, scrub the bottle with bottle
brush and some soap. Rinse out the
soap and put a heaping teaspoonful Of
borax into the bottle, fill half full of
water and shake until the borax is dis
solved. Then fill the bottle trimming
full of water, allow 1t to stand until
the food is mixed the next morning.
when the borax water is poured out,
the bottle rinsed and turned upside
down to drain while the food is being
made.
Nipples should be simple, SO they
can be thoroughly cleaned.
Clean the nipple after each feeding, !
by putting one-half teaspoonfui dry
borax into the nipple and rubbing it
between the hands while holding 1t un-
der the faucet.
Keep the nipple in a solution OF bo-
rax (two teaspoonfuls to cup of wa
ter) sfreshly prepared twice a day.
Look through each nipple before you
buy it. You should barely be able to
see light through the hole in the nip
pie.
1t should take the baby from ten to |
fifteen minute to empty the bottle.
The next article will discuss wean-
ing the baby and its first year diet.

All over the country, the splendid
organizations which are working to
reduce infant mortality agree that
modified cows milk is the best substi-
tute for mothers milk. For this rea-
son, they have set themselves the task
OF supplying GOOD MILK for babies
that are bottle fed. They open milk
stations where certified milk is sold to
mothers Of babies. and where these
mothers are told how to modify the
milk, how to keep 1T sweet and how
to care for the bottles from which 1t
is fed. Then these organizations go
behind the milk station, to the dairy,
where conditions are Investigated and
the cows are tested.
The results of this wonderful cam
paign are shown in the reduction Of
mortality amcng babies in all cities
where such work is carried on.
So If you must raise your baby on
the bottle, frst find out the source OF
your milk supply and then learn how
to modify the milk to 1T your baby's
individual needs.
Know where the milk comes from,
the condition OF the dairy and the
health Of the COW or cows which will
supply nourishment to your baby II
you had to hire a wet nurse you would
not choose tubercilar or personally
uuclean woman. Why permit your
baby to drink milk that comes from a
tubercular cow, which is MIXED In a
dithy stable.
II you. live in city. write to your
department of health or your health
officer for Information regarding certi-
fied milk from properly inspected
dairies. II no such information can he
furnished you, then it is high time that
you started campaign for dairy In
spection In your town.
II you cannot buy certified milk,
then look up personally a dairyman
or q neighbor whose cows win stand
the test and whose stables are clean
Do not buy babyss milk at a grocery
store or dairy whose source of supply
you cannot trace.
AS soon as the milk is delivered, set
1t in cool, clean place, preferably on
ice. Either keep It in separate COM
partment of your refrigerator or make
a small individual refrigerator for it,
using double pail with ice and saw
dust packed round the inner pail and
have the milk tightly corked in bottles
One mother who told me about having
made such q little refrigerator which
she keeps in the cellar. learned to do
this from sad experience. With her
first baby, she kept the milk in q tin
pail, hung In the cool water of an old
we'll. The milk absorbed germs and
the doctor traced baby's death from
acute bowel trouble to these germs.
Scald the vessel or bottles in which
the supply Of milk is to be stored. and
allow them to cool before you pour the
milk into them. Never use the utensil

The present style of dress obliterates

Surely women viii soon realize that
the line of right has been passed as
