that Germany has distinguished her
self at sea, says Captain ]. Persius
Associated Press. Captain Perslus,
formerly an officer OF the Germon
navy, is a recognized authority on
German naval affairs and is naval
expert of the Berliner Tageblatt. He
states that Germany's policy has been
to attempt to weaken her chief OPP
ponent at sea by using submarines
and mines, to point where there
will be some prospect of success Ct
an attack on the main British fleet.
His review follows:

and decisive feature of all the naval

against much superior forces.
I'm Germany the gigantic task of
our sea forces is in no wise underes-

During the summer months In most
of the larger cities there is an enor-
nous increase in the number OF sick
babies, many of whom fail to survive
this period. These well known facts
have led to the establishment all over
the country of what are known as
infant welfare or milk stations. The
stations are rooms in charge or tram
ed nurses and physicians. to which
any mother who desires may bring
her baby for help and advice In his
care.
The object of these welfare sta
lions is to keep the babies well, and
TO prevent illness by watching the
babies closely and by teaching the
mothers how to take care of them.
II a baby is found to be sick. the
mother is referred to her own physlc-

usually sent to dispensary. The
principal factor in keeping the baDy
veil Is to have him properly fed. Ac-
rordingly the physician who cares
for the baby should direct this very
carefully If the mother has no
physician. the station doctor will ex-
anime the baby and order dietsfor
him. The nurses will be glad to as
sist the mother In following out his
directions, and will visit her in her
home for this purpose.
These stations are sometimes
maintained by the city and sometimes
by q private society. The mother
can find out the location of the sta
ton nearest her home from the pa
pers, or by inquiring of the health
officer.
The baby is weighed at each visit.
and examined to see II he needs any
special care If SO. the doctor OK
plains this to the mother. The baby
should be brought back to the sta
ton at regular intervals in order that
the doctor and nurse can watch him.
In this way much OF the illness from
which babies suffer can be prevent
ed and mothers and babies spared q
great deal OF suffering.
The mother who is expecting the
birth of a baby should go to the
station about once a month during

Edgar Myers, of this city, is the sur

A piece OF bone six and a hall
inches long was removed from Nc
Combs's shin bone and was placed in
the spine. The disease from which
the patient was suffering had a ten

graft so the healthy bone was above
