DON'T FEED SNAKES
TO BABIES!

Smash the bottle to smithersthe
devils i'm 'em. "-Tehnyson.
If there remains a. long hose nuns
ing bottle in the state Of Wisconsin,
lit should be smashed to bits. The
tube OF. such a bottle lis dangerous as
a SNAKE. Indeed, more deaths have
been caused, by filthy nurs; ing BOTTLES
than have been by snakes bites.
Milwaukee has an ordinance for
bidding their sale Offering an old
time nursing bottle to a baby, i'm
view of our present knowledge of the
danger, lis morally little snort of muir
der. For those who know, there lis no
excuse for permitting further use by
ignorant motheras.\
The danger in the long nursing
bottle hose lis that it is almost GER
tain to contain germs. The only
means of cleansing lit lis by prolomg-
ed boiling Inasmtch as the only eX-
cuse for ever having used such bot
ties i'm saving time DIM feeding in-
fants, it is certain that time wild not
be given to sterilization.
Babies BOTTLES should be Of the
large neck variety that can be thor
oughly cleaned. After washing they
should be boiled. The rubber nipples
should be washed and boiled after
each use They can then be conVen-
iently kept i'm a glass Of boric acid
solution. Such a solution lis made by
adding to a given quantity of water
aus many boric acid crystals as cam
be dissolved. This lis about five teas
poonfuIs to a pint Of water. Before
using, the nipple is to be thoroughly
rinsed in boiled water to remove the
bOric acid solution.
All utensils used in mixing the
baby's milk should be boiled aft er
washing. These precautions take a
little time. They save much i'm doc

the exercises by playing a march, dur
ing which time the seventeen la
dies and eight gentlemen performers,
all dressed in ancient costumes mar
ched in and about the audience room
through the aisIes to the platform
This placed the audience in good hui
NOR for what was to follow. The first
number WAS entitled, "a Worldly
Song" which was rendered by the
full chorus. 1t was exceIIant,as Weld
as all the choruses that followed.
The program was carried out as ad

groceries; moreover, she did not veal
her best black silk dress when she
went shopping for her groceries, and
the shopping district occupied the re
gion farthest from the works upor
the other side of her own home-but
these things did not matter.
Then, as she saw Broadway's atten
tion wavering, and that Clara was en-.
deavoring to hold it long enough to
ask for Wallace, she turned beamingly
to him, although behind the beam
there was genuine anxiety. ANY.
thing new, Broadway?
Clara's courage had augmented by
that time, and she gave him insufl.
-cient time to frame an answer. 80 Mrs,
Spotswood went to Josie, and, as
Broadway answered questions about
wallace, assuring Clara that he'd be
there before long, out of the corner of
his eye he could make certain that
Josie was explaining things to Mrs.
Spotswood. He rather thought and
hoped that she was explaining them
with real enthusiasm.
Clara was shyly excited over Wal.
lace. and took full advantage of this
chance to talk of him with his best
friend. The long standing of her
friendship for Broadway made her feel
at liberty to gossip freely.
I think Mr.. Wallace is an awfulIy
nice fellow" she said gravely.
DO you really?" Broadway smiled
at her although he bitterly resented
her intrusion on his talk with Josie.
I'll tell him you said that" he gaily
threatened.
"He is." she stated positively. .-He
ordered ice cream twice last night" A
reminiscent hunger came into her
eyes. Bought me box of chocolates.
too
"Oh, he doesn't care what he does
with his money" Broadway's manner
indicated that asking twice for ice
cream and the purchase of a box of
chocolates represented to his mind the
extreme insanity Of spendo-mania.
Doesn't he?" she asked, her tone in
dicating that delightful horror which
unmarried ladies feel at hearing of the
exploits of equally unmarried, possibly
eligible young men.
mo-" said Broadway, with the mir
OF one revealing something at once
horrible and fascinating, "he spent
over twenty-five dollars one night"
His audience was as vividly i'm.
pressed as any speaker could have
wished. He must have just thrown It
away"
why"
But the mad tale of Wallace's ex.
penditures was never told. The con-
versation was at this point interrupt
ed by the sound of cheers in the great
workrooms at the back.
