ayers Garry Polnt-VloIatlons Of
Regulations for Benefit Of
Babies Reported.


PHILADELPHIA Through the efforts
of the Philadelphia Association Of
Day Nurseries, a reform in the ham
ding OF the milk supply Of the city
has been brought about and condi-
EiOns which chiefly affect the babies
or the poor have been greatly RENE
died.
The association, made up Of woman
Representatives Of the board Of man
ayers of twenty-five day nurseries, has
procured the enforcement of an ordi-
nance prohibiting the sale of dipped
milk" except in shops where eggs,
butter and bread are sold.
Following the baby-saving show of
Hast spring, and still keeping in mind
lessons OF the milk show Of the prev
fous year, members of the association,
determined to safeguard as far as
they could the lives of the babies, en-
trusted to the care of their nurseries
and started systematic investigation
of milkshops In the neighborhood Of
the nurseries.
The infant mortality committee
which undertook the investigation APP
piled to leading physicians who have
had the work OF baby-saving under
their direction and procured the serv-
fees Of an investigator who has had
experience in public health work.
Visits were made to several hum
Gred shops in the neighborhoods Of
The day nurseries, The shops we're
viewed from every angle that would
make them places where 1t would be
prejudlcial to the child health to have
dts milk supply stored. The source of
supply, the condition Of refrigerating
facilities, occupancy Of the house and
She methods employed in handling
Were gone into and card index was
made OF all places visited.
The research showed many fragrant
violations of the milk regulations of
the department Of health. All sorts of
inenacing conditions were discovered.
One of the chief causes Of complaint
twas found to be the cigar and candy
shops In which milk was sold In bulk.
In many of these no attempt was
made to keep the milk at an even
temperature, or to ward off the flies
(which infested the places. The milk
was carelessly handled and dipped out
with any sort Of dlpper and in any
sort of way.
Reports of these conditions were in
6tantly made to the bureau of health,
which acted upon them in two cases,
revoking licenses. and in every u
stance prohibiting the sale of dipped
or loose milk in any stores except
those which handle bread, eggs or
butter and which are qualified, to give
proper care.
The object Of the association is to
safeguard, BY concerted effort, the
children who are entrusted to various
nurseries and to study their home en-
viTonment and the conditions which
affect their health.

BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality of Diners Is Shown in
Their Various Methods Of
Eating.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured
this out, but he did not!
The average Englishman will al
ways demand his egg boiled just
three minutes, then he places it in an
egg cup, just large enough to have
the egg fit 1t, taps the top Of the
shell, and removes the broken shell
with his fingers The egg is eaten a
spoonful at time.
A Frenchman, much like the Eng
lishman, likes his eggs of three min
utes, exactly He then "peels" them,
places them in glass, stirs and
mixes we'll together with salt, pepper
and butter He makes practice OF
dipping bread into the mixture, and
eating it along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouldn't think Of letting
bis egg boil more than one minute.
He then breaks it, and let's the con-
tents run into glass, and consumes
1t as II he were drinking glass of
wine.
An egg is only at in an Italians
estimation when 1t has been placed
in cold water, and removed Just as
the water begins to boil. He then
breaks it, pours it on plate, and
proceeds to sop it with bread.
The German, like the italian, de-
mands his eggs as near the liquid
state as possible. He breaks his eggs
in an unsightly cup, and scoops the
liquid out as II 1t were soup.
The American is about the only one
who prefers his eggs boiled hard.
When they are served up to him, he
knifes them in half, removes the con-
tents into a glass, after which he
adds a plentiful supply Of pepper, but
ter and salt. He then minces the
eggs fine, mixing them we'll with the
spices, and eats them with his toast

Interesting Story Of the "eray Ghost

sels"-one Big Berg Was a

New York.-"Some time after the tt
tanic went down was possessed with
the idea OF going north in the hope OF
getting among the icebergs,' writes
James B. Corrington. There had
been no year In the recollection Of
men who go down to the sea in ships
when such fleet Of giant icebergs
had been seen so far south. ] wanted
to see them close at hand-those silent
messengers of the land of eternal
snow and ice, gray ghosts, embodi-
ments of the spirit Of the north, that
drift in procession with the ocean cur
rents and at the winds will, to lie in
wait, maybe, for some luckless skip
per to send some vessel and all aboard
to the port of missing ships, and at
last to topple and die at the bidding
of the sun. The thought of them
fascinated me.
Their menace to navigation is al
ways a very real and constant one,
and hardly a ship that passed along
the Newfoundland banks last year
but had a report of ice written in her
log The greatest tragedy of the sea,
the loss Of the Titanic, would proba-
bly, not have happened in a normal
year of ice--and it is normal condi-
tions that ships expect to meet and
for which they are prepared
II left New York on a summer day.
The tar on the docks was soft from
the scorching heat and even the
breeze from the bay was hot. 1t was
the beginning of one of the sizzling
spells of July. A few days later was
talking with the officers OF the ship
about the number Of icebergs they
had passed on their last trip and Of
the ships that had gone north and
never been heard from, caught and
chewed up in the ice"
There was a distinct thrill in wax
ing in the cold Of early morning to a
vigorous hammering on my door and
the call of On deck, sir! Icebergs in
sight! We were nearing Cape Race,
and away off to port, near shore, there
was glistening mass Of ice that
stood out with distinctness against
the black, rocky shores, We passed
several other smaller pieces and one
big berg right at the mouth of st.

st. Louis.--Charles Wightman, dep

Dispatch reporter how he had
just been able to walk without

the AZ years of his life. He fell when
he was four years old and injured

He said that a neighbor had told
him a snake story just before he went
to bed. 1t was a tale of a blacksnake
ever SO many feet long and an incred-
ible number OF inches thick, which
the nelghbor had said he had killed.
Charles woke up in the morning
with the story still in mind. He
thought how comfortable it was to
live In a country where one could
sleep In peace instead of in one of
those countries where, he had heard.

Revealing in the thought, he thrust
his right leg deeper under the covers.

Hyattsville, Md.-"My little boy was
taken with an itching on the scalp.
There was an ashy place on his head
about the size Of ten-cent piece, and
the hair was falling from this place
by the roots. In about ten days all
over his head were these ashy spots
which looked like ringworm, but were
porous-like. The itching and burning
made him scratch a great deal His
head had gotten so that It was just a
mass Of mattery little pimples all
heaped on each other, and when took
off his night-cap, the hair and flesh
came off at the same time. l really
thought he would lose his whole scalp.
He couldn't sleep for five weeks, II
would itch and burn until l thought
he would go into commissions.

use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

FAIL IN BIG TREASURE HUNT
Ship That Carried Women Seeking
Buried $1s,ooo,ooo Returns sorely
Disappointed.

San Francisco, Cal.-Failure of an
other expedition sent in quest of a
legendary $1S,0OO,OOO treasure cache
on Cocos island, in the South seas,
was recorded here when the British
steampship Melmore put into port.
These tabled millions, according to
a dying sailor, we're buried on Cocos
island by officials OF the Peruvian
church early in the last century. Mrs.
Barry Till and Miss Davis, English
women, were told by the sailor on his
death bed of his knowledge of the
location of the cache and supplied
with charts. The women succeeded
in interesting British capitalists, and
the Melmore was purchased for the
expedition.
Mrs. Till and Miss Davis accompa-
MED the party and directed the oper-
atoms of the fortune hunters.
After many weary months of labor
with pick and shovel, the searchers
gave up their quest and started home
ward The Melmore put in at Pana-
ma, where the two women and others
of the party left the vessel, to pro
coed homeward by the most direct
route.
Within the last nifty years half
dozen expeditions equipped with am
pie funds to search for the gold be-
lieved to be buried there. In each
case the incentive has been the same

had been bequeathed charts showing
