CHILD WITH MOUTH DISEASE
Youngster at Gap, Pa, Infected Prob
ably Through Milk

Lancaster, Pa, Dec. 19.-Lancaster
county physicians are perusing medical
books in search of information regard
ing the hoof and mouth disease, as a
result of the report yesterday by DR..
George B. Hershey, of Gap, of case
which he discovered in child in that
town. The report was made yesterday
afternoon to DR.. J. L. Mowery, County
Medical Inspector.
The name of the family is being
withheld and meanwhile an exhaustive
examination is being made of the case.
1t is said that the symptoms of the case
are high fever, blistered lips and a
profuse watering at the mouth.
DR.. Mowery said that the child s
father was the owner of herd of cat
tie that had been under Federal quar-
antine. He contended that the eating
of meat could not cause the infection,
but that the germs were probably car
ried by the milk of one of the infected
cows.

onions, cabbage, milk, eggs, and lean
meats. Fat foods are most harmful to
children.
Sugar does not irijure the teeth, if
pure it is wholesome. What harms the
teeth is lack of lime and other min
eral matter in the rest of the diet.
Lime water added to milk of children
up to six years of age insures strong
white teeth. in the majority of cases.
Cake and rich desserts are not bad for
children because of the sugar they con
tain but because they are greasy and
too hard of digestion for the undevel-
oped stomach.
Children should eat at least four
times a day at intervals of about four
hours; six hours is too long for a grow
ing child to go without food. If Won
refuse your child food when it is craved
you are not making it healthy or hap
py, you are bunting its natural desire
for growing material and it will be
stunted and dwarfsh in both mind and
body.
You can give your children too much
rich food but you will not be able TO
give your growing boy and girl too
much strong nourishing food.
Children should have their heaviest
meal in the middle of the day. A glass
of milk or bread and milk or a light
lunch should be given before bedtime,
but to feed a child hearty evening
dinner with the rest of the family and
then send it direct to bed is sure to
produce restless sleep and bad dreams.
In department of this sort it is
not possible to give specific directions
for children's diet. Too much must be
considered and too much is at stake.
Ask trained nurse; one who is ortho-
dox and in good health herself she will
gladly advise you and do it well.

HOUSEHOLD
TALKS
Henrietta D. Grauel
Let the Riddles Have a Piece

Some mothers tell me, quite as if it
was thing to be proud of, that their
children never have thing to eat be-
tween meals. Poor little things! They
never stop growing from the moment
they are born until they reach maturity;
now, how can they grow if they are not
fedY A child's stomach is small; it
is not possible for a growing child to
eat as much as an adult at meal, but
he is really more hungry and needs
food more. The childish craving for
frequent feeding is natural and should
be encouraged. Irregular "piecing," a
bowl of milk and bread, slice of bread
spread thick with sugar and butter or
some wholesome cereal food will not
derange stcmachs of little folks. AS
they grow up they will naturally settle
upon fixed times for eating and the
habit of eating between meals will be
left behind with other childish ways.
The fault of youth are things we all
outgrow, more's the pity.
Children need foods that make tissue.
bone, and strength, like meat (in small
amounts and well done), eggs, milk
and cereals. Fatty foods children do
not need, their blood flows freely and
warmly without its carbonizing action,
for while the heat of an adult is some
80 degrees that of healthy youngsters
is around 103 degrees,
A child that is fed plenty of whole
some foods, with fruit and milk in
abundance, will not crave rich pastries,
butter cakes and fat meats. Where
such craving exists it must be over
come or surely weak stomach in later
life will be the price of the indulgence.
Muscle and bone making foods are
wheat and other cereal breads, crushed
wheat, oat meal, rolled oats, potatoes,

Lieutenant Governor Seed, who

that he and Conner met here.
When former Governor Conner
came down the two men began to
cross fire at each other. The short
and ugly word was used, and Mr..
Seed assumed a militant attitude.
Fred Sloss stepped between the de-
baters and the storm passed tempo
rarily.
Later the hotel lobby discussion
was renewed with increased warmth.
Threats Of blows were made and IL
nally the hotel manager suggested
that his hotel was not the proper
place in which to pull off a fistic
bout, and again the war cloud passed.

The FAMOUS COTTON OF PERU
Brings Six or Seven Cents a Pound
More in the Markets Than the
Cotton We Raise.


The Puira valley in the great
South American desert is the home
of the famous native cotton of Peru,
a cotton which brings six or seven
cents a pound more in our markets
than that we raise in America, says
Frank G. Carpenter, traveller and
writer. The native Peruvian cotton
is sometimes called vegetable wool.
1t has long fiber and it is like wool
in its texture. We use it to mix
with wool for the making of hats,
hosiery and underwear. 1t is said
to give the cloth a finer luster and
to render it less liable to shrink.
Indeed, this land seems to be the
home of the cotton plant. 1t was
growing here when Pizarro came,
and he found cotton cloth in the
tombs of people who lived long be-
fore the Incas. The native cotton
grows on a tree which will continue
to yield for 20 years after planting.
1t is usually at it's best at three years,
and after that it begins to decline.
The common method of planting is
to put the seeds in the ground with a
stick, and let the trees reach hight
of six or eight feet. After that they
are cut back from year to year in
order that they may be the more cas-
lily gathered.
On other plantations a single SOW
ing is allowed to do for several an
nual crops. The cotton begins to
ripen about ten months after it is
planted, and the principal yield is
obtained when the plants are 20
months old.

A MYSTERY OF The SEA
UNNAMED, WITH TABLE SET,
SCHOONER DRIFTS INTO PORT.
Why the Ship Was Deserted Cannot
Be Solved. Had Evidently Been
Adrift For Weeks.

Forever a mystery of the sea Will
doubtless remain the schooner Plo-
neer, which drifted into Boston port
a few days ago with not man on
board and with the table in the cabin
all set for dinner.
What the reason was for deserving
the schooner the marine sharks along
Boston's waterfront can not solve.
There were several broken chairs IN
the cabin, but the crockery was not
even cracked, indicating there may
have been a fight in which chairs
figured as weapons.
Riding high upon the waves the
schooner had evidently been drifting
for many. weeks, as her sides were
covered with sea moss, her toremast
was shattered and there was some
water in her hold, but in the nam
the vessel was unframed.
There is no record of a schooner
being deserted or of a drifting crew
being found. There is no reason III
sight for a crew to leave the snip.
The silent cabin, the stump OF the
foremost with the name OF Jonn
Anderson" carved on it tells no more
of the story than that OF all the
tragedy that may have been enacted
in the deserted ship.
We have read of deserted ships
drifting about the seas, menaclng
commerce and battling solution but
it is rare that an unnamed ship
drifts into a port, its table spread
for dinner and nothing but some bro
ken chairs to tell the story Of a pos
sible fight and a tragedy Of the sea
which left no survivor to relate the

"Hagenbeck of trained-animal

For the past seven years Uncle Sam

but more particularly along the line
of the breeding characteristic OF re-

in 1906 the king of Abyssinia pre-
scented President Roosevelt with a
splendid Grevy zebra.
