DON'T FEED SNAKES TO BABIESl

DON 1 FEED oNAkES III BABIES!
"Smash the bottle to smitheTs. the
DEVILS in i'm. ''Tennyson. If there
remains long hose nursing bottle in
the state of Wisconsin, it should be
smashed to bits. The tube of such a
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 forbid
ding their sale. Offering an old-time
nursing bottle to 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
cleansing 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 sterilization
Babies bottles should be of the large
neck variety that can be thoroughly
cleansed. After washing they should
be boiled, The rubber nipples should
be washed and boiled after each use
They can then be conveniently kept in
glass of boric acid solution. 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 teaspoonfulls 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 ba-
by's milk should be boiled after wash
ing. These precautions take a little
time. They save much in doctors bills
sickness, nursing and funeral expense
By the way, all drinking water given
to babies is made safe by boiling. It's
a splendid form of life insurance
against intestinal diseases.

bottle ordinance, land further proof if
needed, will be furnished to any
mayor, health officer, alderman or pri-
vate citizen who will address request

WORKING the Morse Code.

Easiness Of the telegraph code has
sometimes facilitated evil practices
Charles Galbraith, formerly chief SUI
perintendent of telegraphs at Bombay,
described one notable case Messages
used to. be brought by mail steamer
from Suez to Point de Gale and tel
egraphed thence overland to Bombay.
Native operators found it profitable,
especially during the cotton famine, to
communicate the tenor of dispatches to
outside confederates. At first the
method employed was to write copy
Of the telegram, roll it up tightly and
drop it out Of the window But this
was soon detected and stopped. Then
the operator would lean his head on his
hand as IL musing and drum with his
fingers. knowledge Of the Morse code
by the man outside did the rest.

swat The Fly.

The national movement for the exter-
mination of the hy is no idle enterprise.
II may take years to reach anything like
complete success, but it is progressing
with great hopefuluess. It is one Of the
most profitable propagandas promoted in
this country in late years. and we have
promoted a good many. It's extreme
sanity rests on the fact that it seeks to
deal with causes more than effects, to pre-
vent rather than remedy. 1t will be but
few days now till this noxious foe to
health and comfort swoops down upon us.
On the theory that the early bird catches
thu worm let everybody have his swatter
ready for the early fly and see that none
escapes. Ona method of defense is to
have screens in good repair aud up before
the fiy arrives. But that is not funda-
mental; that is dealing with effects. The
better way is to rid the premises of all
substance-trash or what not-that tends
to draw flies. There is dealing with
causes. There are countries where flies
are unknown. 1t is the duty of every
person to cooperate toward making it
such-a duty the benefits of which all
share.

Early on the morning of May 2, suf-
trage workers scattered throughout the

suffragists to the Nation, ami requesting
that Maryland women be called to the

TWO GULF STREAMS.
The One Of Air ls What crsates tiso
Deserts of the East.

Deserts Of the East,
The gulf stream, as every one knows,
ls a broad river Of warm water which
starts In the gulf Of Mexico, wanders
across the cold Atlantic ocean and
bumps into the British isles. giving
them warm climate and no end of fog
and rain. But few people know that in
the atmosphere above there is second
gulf stream Of warm, moist air.
This slow. damp breeze strikes the
British isles and does not carom or
like the gulf stream. but continues over
Europe. As 1t passes over Sweden, Fin
land and northern Russia these cold
lands chill the wind and cause 1t to-
drop its moisture in the form of rain.
The lakes and rivers Of these northern
countries are all supplied by the m0is-
ture taken up from the gulf stream.
The rotation Of the earth makes this
wind veer gradually to the southwark
about the time it has given up the last
Of It's moisture and warmth. As a
mighty draft Of dry, cold air. the gulf
stream wind moves on across the plains
OF Russia. AS it approaches the equa-
tor the wind warns again, but becomes
ever drier.
At last, as it sweeps over Turkestan,
Arabia and Sahara, 1t evaporates like
great sheet OF blotting paper all water
it meets, forming the deserts of Turke-
stan, Sahara and Arabia. Fortunately
this devastating wind now leaves the
continent, becomes the trade winds and
returns to its starting point at the gulf
Of Mexico.
Several somewhat visionary schemes
have been suggested for altering the
course Of the gulf stream. One Of the
Immediate results of any such change
would be the shifting Of the present
deserts to other parts of the world

An Inch of Rain.

An inch of rainfall is equivalent to
600 barrels of forty-fve gallons each to
the acre. This amount of water weighs
over 113 tons. Think of hauling it to
the farms in wagons holding a ton
each! That seemingly light air and
clouds are capable of handling this
enormous amount Of water is one of
the marvels of meteorology. One inch
