HOT SPRINGS STARTS
 WAR ON IMMORAL WOMEN

From Hot Springs came reports last night that the exodus from that city of the women of the underworld started yesterday, and that by the end of the week all the members of that class will be out of the resort town.
 More than ordinary interest at taches in Pine Bluff to this effort of Hot Springs to improve moral con- ditions, owing to the fact that 1t is believed a number of the women will come to this city. Little Rock, it is said, being now without scarlet wO- men, is taking especial pains to bar the women from Hot Springs, and the next closest large town or city is Pine Bluff.
 What is to be done here, if any thing, has not been made public, al-' though there are rumors that it is only a question of short time before steps will be taken to have the wo- men leave Pine Bluff. None of the rumors could be traced to any author itative source.
 The filing of charges recently Tn Hot Springs, against the chief of po- lice and other officers, for collecting monthly fines from the women of the tenderloin has started the movement there for moral uplift, the charge being that the collection of such fine is a violation of the state law known as the pandering act.

feeding If he shows a gain in weight, this may be enough. If after 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 seriously ill.
 The preceding article gave direc- tiOns 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 Bu- reau of the United States department of labor, at Washington, D. C., for "a bulletin called Infant Care, which gives simple directions for preparing the baby's feeding and shows what amount will suit the baby of a given age. This book is sent free to every one who asks for it. A post card re- quest will do. The name and the duQTeSS OI lue dppllCduL SIlOulu Ut written very plainly.
 Weaning 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 goes to bed at night. Teach him to drink from cup and eat from a spoon.
 To wean a baby from the bottle, be- gin by giving him little of his food from spoon. gradually increasing the amount at each feeding until all of his food is taken in this way

IN HAITI BREAKS OUT ANEW;
 PRESIDENT fLEES

Port au Prince, July 27.-The revo- lutionary movement against PreslGen; Guillaume which broke ou; under the leadership of Dr. Rosalvo Bobo last March, ;oday at dawn was renewed in Port au Prince.
 After several hours of fighting at the presidents palace, where Guil- laume niade courage ous defen> e against the revolutions, the president took refuge in the Dominican lega- tion, whi,her he had been precede d by the members of his family
 The palace was on fire before Guil- iaume decided to flee. Rebellious troops attacked at o'clock and con tinued firing upon the palace for two hours. The president was supported by few loyal troops.
 General oscar, governor of Port au Prince, continued his resistance at the palace even after Guiilaume. had left, but he soon was obliged to Sur render. By noon the city was in the possession of the volutionists.
 The movement was started by a regiment of soldiers who had been disbanded by President Guillaume and who resented this treatment.
 There has been reign of terror in Port aN Prince for ths last ten days July Y President Gu;llaume, doubt less realizing tha. his fall was but q question of few days. started on a series fpersecutions. He caused the arrest -of Haitisns of wealth or posi- ton and began expelling foreigners. He apparently recognized the fact tha. the spirit of revolution was growing in the country. and he knew that the rebels were marching on the capital.
 Haitien women have been arrested on the streets. July 17 French ac- tress, Mme. Taldy. wes treated in this arbitrary manner. The prisons of the city are full and the conditions in them are deplorable. Prisoners die daily as result of hunger. and the unsanitaIy condition in which they are compell,A Sos live. Ths foreign legations hold many refugees.
 The present revolution in Haiti has been going on several months. It's purpose is to drive President Gull laume out and set up Dr. Rosalvo BObO.
 Up to the present the fighting has been largely on the northern coast, bat the outbreak of today brings it into the capital.
 Rear Admiral Caperton, U. s. N, has been in command of the Ameri- can cruiser Washington in Haitien waters since early in July. The French also have had a cruiser on the Haitien coast. The American ves- sel was sent to afford protection to American interests. Admiral Caper- ton, about two weeks ago. landed marines at Cape Hait len, on the north coast, to protect foreign interests.
 The Robo revolt was declared a few days after General Guillaume was proclaimed president last March. Lat CT the Guillaume forces retook Cape IIai+ien, but Bobo captured it sec Ond time.
