Batter said that he has been en-
gagged by private detective agencies
for seven years and hired out as a

night. when everything was quiet and
peaceful and the miners were in their
homes and making no demonstrations,

called Curry-came up to me and
said: / guess I'll shoot up one Of the

| It will remain until the board OF judges
convene Monday night to make the
final count OF the votes and award the
prizes.
The excitement created by the cam
paign is nearing fever-heat point. the
sensational voting and the continual
change OF the leaders is responsible
for the most OF 1t.
The competitors are beginning to
realize that there are only few days
left In which to win the prizes offered,
and they are making the best OF these
bright, glorious days.
The battle OF ballots goes merrily on
among the more ambitious, and the in
terest will continue to increase until
the last hour Of the campaign. Some
OF the competitors have been voting
heavily, while others have been paying
little attention to the score, but are
hustling for subscriptions. Several
competitors have something up their
sleeves and may cause the public and
their opponents more than a mild sur
prise within the next few days. The
circulation of all kinds OF roorbacks
and discouraging rumors, which has

to give up the breast entirely. This
plan is approved because 1t prepares
the baby for any emergency such as
maternal illness, death or separation,
and it gives the mother more liberty.
Most important, it accustoms the

Gus.
5.-When should the bottle-fed baby
be weaned?
If he is in good condition, that is
up to the proper standard of weight
and general health, at nine months
he may be fed some foods, like cruel,
or his modified milk, and even beef
broth from cup along with half a
bottle. At year such feeding is
substituted for the regular bottle
feeding. At fifteen months he has
three bottle feelings and two cup
feelings. At sixteen or seventeen
months, he has three meals day,
and bottle at 8 or 10. At eighteen
or twenty months no bottle is given
at night The weaving is accom-
plished.
When should baby begin teeth
ing?
Babies begin teething at different
times. Sometimes delayed teethfng
is a family trait. More often it is
due to i'll health, malnutrition, ricketts,
or other constitutional disease. The
breast fed child teeths earlier and
more easily than bottle-fed baby,
and usually exhibits Its two lower
middle teeth at six months. If no
teeth have appeared at nine months,
doctor should be consulted. An av-
.erage table OF dentition is this:
Twelve mos, 6 teeth; 10 mos. -
teeth; "a mos, 1 6 teeth: 80 mos. 20
teeth, the complete>first set or milk
teeth.

WILSON'S?
Not unless teething is caused by
disordered digestion. The pain
from teething is not SUFFICIENT to
cause commissions, but pain, a slight
temperature, and indigestion togeth-
er will bring on commissions.
s.-When should the gums be
lanced?
On the advice of your physician
only. IF the gums are swollen and
discolored, and there is fever with
vomiting and perhaps slight diarr-
hoea, send for your doctor at once.
This may mean the approach of the
dreaded summer complaint, which in
com bination with teething is so gem
orally fatal.
