mouth. She should be particularly
careful not to use her own handker-
chief for the baby, nor sleep with
him, while the disease lasts. Many
babies contract these colds by being
taken up and kissed by visitors. and
it is a wise rule to keep the baby
away from the presence of people who
are coughing and sneezing. The rea-
son for this great care as regards
baby is that a gious cold is very
often the forerunner of bronchitis and
pneumonia, which diseases cause TIE
deaths of many thousands of young
babies every year. and which are in
finitely easier TO prevent than to cure.
Fresh Air Is Necessary.
Fresh air is the most effective
weapon with which to fight the dis
eases of the respiratory tract. This
does not necessarily mean cold air,
for cold air may be stale, and warm
air may be pure. The ventilation of
most American houses is faulty, since
in order to keep them warm enough
to suit US we shut them so tightly as
to make the air unfit to breathe, after
a few hours. To counterfeit this ten
dency mothers should see to it that
all the occupied rooms of the house
arc thoroughly aired at least twice
every day in the coolest weather.
while in moderate weather ther e
should be as nearly constant sup

When the temperature OUTSIDE Is
very low the baby should be taken
into a warm room while his nursery
is being aired. and at night his ned

If there is communicating room, the

Dress Baby Properly.
If the cold is excessive. or if therO
is a raw, dramp wind blowing or ram
or snow falling, the baby should be
given his daily airing in a room with
the windows open, or on protected
porch, dressing him warmly in out
of-door clothing He should be taken
out during the middle of the day for
a little while. never long enough to
run the risk of chilling him. This
applies especially to young and deli
cate babies. AS a child gets old enough
to walk about and thus exercise him
self he can be allowed to play for
some time in an open room or where
he is sheltered from the wind
But an airing every day does not
take the place of fresh air in the house,
day and night, and to secure suffi-
cient ventilation for health the mother
must be on the watch to see that the
rooms are opened and the air chang

So much emphasis is constantly
placed upon the necessity for special
care of the baby in summer, when
the heat is excessive and diarrheal
diseases at their worst that the fact
that winter. too. has its special dan
gers for the baby is somtimes over
looked.
But the combination of heat and
diarrhea is hardly more serious fer
the baby in the months of July and
August, than are cold and respiratory
diseases in winter.
1t is plain then, that the winter
care of the baby deserves special at
tention from everyone interested in
his health and Well-being.
1t has been demonstrated quite
conclusively that Il large part of the
deaths from summer diarrhea are
needless. because this disease may be
entirely in many more by the proper
care and feeding of the baby during
the heated months. The same doc
trine is now being applied to the
group of what are commonly called
winter diseases of babies and chill
dren, namely, bronchitis. pneumonia,
colds" and the like, which are. like
diarrhea, to a large extent, prevent

baby, and by surrounding him with
proper living conditions.
These proper living conditions con-
| sist both in winter and summer of
| suitable food, in the right amounts, at
| the right times, cleanliness, sufficient
sleep. plenty of fresh, clean air to
| breathe. and protection from expos
ure to infectious diseases s. 1t is chiefly
| the lack of these two latter require
mcnts that causes the winter illnesses
among babies.
Cold Not the Cause.
It is rot the cold OF winter which
makes people sick. ordinarily, but
rather the stale overheated air inside
| our houses and public buildings,
which we breathe and rebreathe. thus
passing disease germs about from one
to another. Babies are particularly
| liable TO be infected in this way, be-
cause they spend a large part of their
time indoors, and because mothers
| are apt to feel that to keep the baby
warm the rooms must be kept shut

in her power to protect her baby from

and are very ontagious. being easily

injuries totaled 1862, or 1O.7 per 1907
600. This number includes fatalities
resulting from collisions between rail-
way trains and vehicles at grade cross
ings. The death rate from railway &C
cidents and injuries is the lowest on
record and shows a most marked and
gratifying decline as compared with
the rate for 1913, which was IS per
10000, and a still more pronounced
drop from the average for the five
year period 1906-1910, which was Is
per 100000.
Deaths resulting from street car ac-
cidents and injuries numbered 1873
or IS per 100000. This rate, like that
for railway fatalities, is the lowest on
record and shows a material falling off
as compared with the average for the
five-year period 1906-191O, which
was 81.
The Suicide Rate.
The number of suicides reported in
1914 was 1898, or 1875 per 100000
population OF this number. 3.2S6 ac-

decline since 1900. having decreased
from 35.S per 100000 in that year to
1874 in 1914, or by 81 per cent This
decline has been almost as great, rel
atively. as that for diphtheria, and
has been greater than that for any
other principal cause of death The
total number OF deaths due to typhoid

disease gives emphatic testimony to

in the side OF the British government
begun just at the outset of the Euro

over the home rule bill in the summer
of 1914.

service he had had an adventurous
career. He was companion OF the
late Sir Henry M. Stanley in several of
his African exploring expeditions,
notably in the search of Emin Pasha.
In 1912, as British consul general at
Rio Janiero, he caused a great sensa-
ton by his exposure of the Putomayo
rubber plantation atrocities.
Sir Rogers transformation into an
open revolutionist against British rule
came with the Dublin riots just before
the outbreak of the European war,
when the Kings Own Scottish Border
ers fired on a Dublin mob and killed
several. Sir Roger at the time was in
the United States, making speeches for
the Nationalist cause.
When the war began he suddenly
disappeared from view and shortly
afterward turned up in Berlin, where
he sought to convince the German
government that Ireland was on the
brink of open revolt and needed only
German announcement to- be af1ame.
He received pledges of help and of
German respect from Irish freedom, 1t
is reported.
Since that time he has been heard
from occasionally, issuing manifestos
from Berlin and endeavoring to per-
suade Irish prisoners in Germany to
enter the German army. In which, II is
reported, he has not been very sue
cessful
It has also been reported that the
British government offered $4,000 for
his capture.
Sir Edward Grey announced in the
house of commons last February that
Sir Rogers consular pension had been
stopped pending an investigation of
charges of disioyalty.

vate landowners who have filed appli-
cations for water rights for their lands
within such project, and whose APP
plications have been received and filed,
are described in the act of Aug. 9,
1912, as purchasers of water right GER
tificates' and the said act entities
them to final water right certificate
upon proof of the cultivation and rec
lamation Of the land to which the GER
tificate applies
Section 1'of the act of Aug. 9, 1912.
is as follows:
What Secretary Holds.
THAT any homestead entryman
under the act Of June IL, 1902, known
as the reclamation act, including en-
trymen on ceded Indian lands, may, at
any time after having complied with
the provisions of law applicable to such
lands as to residence, reclamation and
cultivation, which proof. if found reg
ular and satisfactory, shall entitle the
entryman to a patent, and all pur-
chasers of water right certificates on
reclamation projects shall be entitled to
a final water right certificate upon
proof of the cultivation and reclama-
ton of the land to which the certifi-
by the reclamation act for homestead
entrymen: Provided, That no such
patent or certificate shall issue until
all sums due the United States on ac-
count of such land or water right at
the time Of issuance of patent or
certificate have been paid
1T is therefore evident from a con-
sideration of the two acts cited that
the owner of. private land within
reclamation project who desires to OBJ
tain water right under the project
must be a resident upon the land or in
the neighborhood at the time he pre-
sents his application for a water right
and until said application is enter
tanned and approved by the United
States; but that upon such approval
and acceptance a sale of water right
to him has been contaminated, and
that thereafter he occupies the status
of one who has completed the pur-
chase of a water right and who is en-
titled to a final water right certificate
upon the proof specified in the act of
Aug. 9, 1912. without being required
to. show that he is then a resident
upon the land or that he lives in the
neighborhood.
THE papers pertaining to the APP
plication of Mr.. Carrick and other
papers transmitted Herewith are
herewith returned, and you will in the
future administration of the reclama-
tion laws be governed by the holding
herein made.
