BOB" FZSONS LOSES HIS FARM AND HOENDANS ON SLIDING BOARD
What PhiILies Must Do
to Win National Flag
Sbccial TO The TELEGRAPH

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. IA. = The
Phillies have twenty-three more
games to play before the close of the
season. Brooklyn has nineteen and
Boston twenty-one.
If the Phillies win Is out of %
games they will win the pennant with
9S games won and 81 lost, a percent
age of .604. The best Boston and
Brooklyn could do by winning every
game would be to tie for second place
with an average of .597.
If the Phillies win II out of 23 and
Boston and Brooklyn win all their
games, the three teams would be tied
for first place with 80 games won
and 81 lost, an average of $40.
If the Phillies should win IA out
of 23 they would have a percentage
of SIS, and Brooklyn would have
to win 16 out of 10 and Boston IS
out of 81 to tie.
If the Phillies should win only 70
of their remaining 23 games they
would finish with a percentage of
.55S. and Brooklyn would have to
win 13 out of 10 and Boston Is out of
21 to tie.
The above figures are based on the
completed schedules of each of the
three teams, as no provision can be
made for games lost through post
ponement.

Special to The Telegraph

New York, Sept 14.-"It isn't what
you used to be; it's what you are to-

Sheriff Edward +. Houghton, of
Middlesex County, sold the farm under
foreclosure proceedings to Joseph
Hendricks, of Atlantic City, one of
Fitz's creditors. The price was 500.
The new owner is subject to all claims,
which may amount to $4,000. The
place is worth at least $4,000, ac-
eording to Fitzsimmons, who did not
go near the sale.
Rosalie, his seventeen-year- old
daughter, has been taking care of the
house. With her live the two boys,
Bob, Jr., aged twenty, and Martin,
eighteen. Now they will have to seek
new lodgings. Lanky Bob has not
been seen around the place very often.

ed to keep the child he adopted some

mapped by it's mother.
1t is said Miss Benning left the

from her friends and attorneys, moth
ing has been done in the matter of Sc
curing possession of the boy.
1t has been generally known that
Miss Benning was without funds, and
it is understood that lack of means to
carry on the legal fight for the child
was the impelling reason for the tenn
porary abandonment.
Attorneys decline 10 state whether
Miss Benning expects to return later
in the year and renew the fight, but
that is the prevailiI impression.

Care of the Baby IN Summer

bread and fresh vegetables and By
taking moderate exercise in the open
air regular periods of rest, and by
avoiding worry and excitement. This
will usually increase the milk supply
sufficiently; if it does not do so the
baby must be given some additional
food.
This additional food, or supplement
tary' feeding, as has been said, is
given when it is necessary to supple
ment the mothers milk with one tor
more bottle feelings or for the pur-
pose OF weaving the baby. Cows milk
is the only supplementary food to use
1t should be the best and cleanest
with water and sugar as described in
the preceding article. 4 very much
weaker solution than that normally
required for a baby of the given age,
should be tried AZ first, increasing the
strength slightly day by day if the
baby shows no signs of indigestion,
until the full strength food is reached.
To Legin with give the baby one bot
ing. If he shows a gain in weight,
this may be enough. If after a week
there is no gain, two bottles may be
given each day. The mother should
meanwhile be doing all she can by
rest and increased food to build up
the breast milk, but if with all these
measures the baby still fails to gain
or gives evidence of illness, the advice
of good doctor must be sought and
followed. Do not delay in securing
this advice until the baby is serious
ly i'll.
The preceding article gave direc-
tons for the proper amount of milk
mixture for babies of given ages. If
the mother desires fuller information
she may write to the Children's Blu
reau Of the Z. S. Department Of Labor,
at Washington, d. c., for bulletin
called Infant Care, which gives simple
directions for preparing the baby's
feedings and shows what amount will
suit the baby of a given age. This
book is sent free to everyone who asks
for it. A post card request will do.
The name and the address OF the apDli-
cant should be written very plainly.
WEAVING from the bottle should be-
gin by the end of the first year. and
after the baby is IA months old he
should have the bottle only when he
