DON'T EEED SNAKES To RARIEsI
DON'T FEED SNAKES TO BABIES

Smash the bottle to smithers, the
devils in 'im." Tennyson.
If there remains long hose nurs-
ing bottle in the state of Wisconsin,
it should be smashed to bits. The
tube of such bottle is dangerous as
snake. Indeed, more deaths have
been caused by filthy nursing bottles
than have been by snake bites.
Milwaukee has an ordinance for
bidding their sale. Offering an old
time nursing bottle to a baby, in view
of our present knowledge of the
danger, is morally little short of
murder. For those who know, there
is no excuse for permitting further
use by ignorant mothers.
The danger in the long nursing bot
tie hose is that it is almost certain
to contain germs. The only means
of cleaning it is by prolonged boiling.
Inasmuch as the only excuse for ever
having used such bottles is saving
time in feeding infants, it is certain
that time will not be given to stert-
lization.
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 convent
emily kept in glass of boric acid So
luton. Such solution is made by
adding to a given quantity of water
as many boric acid crystals as can be
dissolved. This is about five tea
spoonfuls to pint Of water. Before
using, the nipple is to be thoroughly
rinsed in boiling water to remove the
boric solution.
All utensils used in mixing the
baby's milk should be boiled after
washing. These precautions take a
little time. They save much in doc
tors bills, sickness, nursing and fun
eral expense. BY the way, all drink
ing water given to babies is made
safe by boiling. It's a splendid form
of life insurance against intestinal
diseases.
A copy of the Milwaukee nursing
bottle ordinance land further proof If
needed), will be furnished to any
mayor, health officer, alderman or
private citizen who will address a
request to this bureau.

Good Man For State Senator.

There are large number of voters in
this city and county. who are anxious
that C. f. Viebahn shculd be the demo-
cratic canidate for the state senator for
this senatorial district, composed OF the
counties of jefferson and Waukesha. Mr..
Vlebahn has had considerable legislative
experience and has made an enviable re-
preventative in the assembly. He voted
against most Of the extravagant apprO-
priations made during the last session
of the legislature and demonstrated that
he was safe man to entrust with law
making duties. Should he be cani-
date and should he conclude to enter the
race, the voters Of the district could not
chose a better man to represent them.
