Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
n~s>sss-
Says a glass OF hot water and
phosphate prevents Illness
and keeps us fit.

Just as coal. when It burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal q
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely 2limina-
ted from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomain-like poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass OF real not
water with a teaspoonful Of lime
stone phosphate In 1t to wash out OF
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
DAYS accumulation Of pOisons and
toxins and to keep the entire allmen-
tary canal clean, pure and fresh. q
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliOusnesS, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic sum
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practlclnS
| Internal sanitation. This will cost
very little. but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
| Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health. while the bowel pores do.
hust as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so
. hot water and limestone phosphate
act en- the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels.

STRAWBERRIES ARE
NOW ON THEIR WAY
BILOXI NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS TO
HARVEST 40 ACRES
SOON.

Biloxi, Miss, March indications
point to the probability that there
will be vast numbers of strawberries
on the market in Biloxi this year, as
more strawberries were planted last
fall in the Back Bay country than
ever before in the history of farming.
Members of the Biloxi Vegetable
and Fruit Growers Association last
year banded together in a determine
ton to raise strawberries for ship
ment in carload lots to Northern and
Eastern points. When the men who
produce things from the soil had got
ten through with their movement,
from thirty-eight to forty acres of
Strawberries had been pledged.
G. w. Haynes, owner of Sunkist,
put in eight acres and Allen & Hum
phries ten acres more; then other
members of the Biloxi Vegetable and
Fruit Growers Association planted
other acreage, amounting to total
of thirty-eight or more. This does
not take into consideration the vari-
Gus individual farmers and others
who have small patches of strawber-
ries.
Mr.. Haynes, in Biloxi yesterday,
after many weeks wrestling with farm
work, says that his strawberries are
doing fine and that he expects to have
strawberries on the market next week.

MERE is nothing in the world so
beautiful and interesting as baby
unless it is the baby's mother.
- Yet there is nothing that humanity
is responsible for that has been so sub
jected to the shocks of incompetence.
For there is hardly science, except
hydraulics or mechanical engineering, that
girl or a young mother knows less about
than she does about baby care. Until very
recently she took grandmother word for
it. Now, however, thanks to the indie
fatigable visiting nurse, the constant and
painstaking educational efforts of our mag
azines and public prints, and the general
advance in intelligence, the death rate
among infants has been reduced by more
than half.
Young mothers are taught that, while
cows milk is admirable food for calves,
mothers milk is the ideal food for babies;
that, for every breast-fed baby that dies
in the first twelve months of its existence,
ten children, similarly situated and arti-
ficially fed, fail to survive
Mothers are also learning that if this
is not possible or desirable the milk sup
piled must be modified so as to approx

cleanliness in the matter of its prepara-
tion,- preservation, and method of admin
istration is imperative. They are discon-
tinuing the use of the abominable long
nursing tube, and also of the small-necked
nursing-bottle, so difficult to keep clean,
and are using, instead, straight-sided hy-
gienic jars with large nipples.

Quick, Doctor; the Giraffe Has Sore Throat

DEING surgeon to human beings is
n considerable task in itself-but
suppose you were surgeon in
charge of 5000 patients, some of them
with wings instead of arms, some of them
with seven stomachs, and all of them
eager to kill you the minute you touched
them-how would you like that job?
Doctor w. Reid Blair, surgeon extraor-
binary to the beasts, birds, and fishes of
the New York Geological Park, has pre-
cisely that problem. If Noah were start
ing out again in the Ark he would send
for Doctor Blair: he couldn't sail with
out him. For when five thousand beasts,
mailing from all parts of the world,-
from icebergs and from tropic jungles,-
are gathered together in foreign eli
mate, they are as prone to sickness as the
average opera star is to attacks of tenn
permanent. And some of them are al
most as precious as opera singers: men
have risked their lives in their capture,
and their value often runs into thousands
of dollars.
BY careful attention epidemic diseases
are pretty thoroughly stamped out, but
surgical operations are frequently nee
essary. The picture shows Doctor Blair
engaged in operating on harry eagle,
one of the biggest and most savage of the
accipitrine birds.

Don't Coddle Him

YOUNG mothers are also gradually
learning that a certain amount of cry

rocking and dandling, jumping and cod
ding provoke hysteria and nervousness.
This does not mean that the child
should not receive judicious amount of
"mothering.' Nothing in the wide world
not even the most highly specialized
scientific care-can take the place of love
nonsense. No institution can supply the
affection which is breath of its breath and
blood of its blood to baby. If it could

would not be so frightfully high as it is.

Give Him Plenty of Water


NEVER give baby water in homeo-
pathic doses. Give it to him in good
allopathic amounts-early and often. For
81 per cent. of him is water, and what he
loses through the pores, kidneys, bowels,
and lungs must be made up to him. Add
a little for good measure.
Remember also to "pat'-never rub
baby dry. His skin is thin and delicate,
and won't stand strong-arm work
1t is good practice also, and may save
lot of trouble, to cleanse the eyes daily
with little boracic solution-a teaspoon
full to pint of tepid water. This should
be squeezed into each eye from bit of
absorbent cotton, so that the water will
run freely to the outer corner of the eye.
The care of baby is really simple
enough matter-if it be mixed with rea-
sonable amount of brains. Plenty of sun
shine and fresh air, an adequate amount
of rest-say about nine tenths of its time
and only moderate amount of nourish-
ing food, and a fair amount of clothes,
and baby can be trusted to do the rest.
This rest" consists in eating, sleeping,
and growing growing into robust, healthy
childhood, a JOY to itself, and an ineffable
source of pleasure and profit to everybody
who is privileged to associate with it,

yet generally understood. One is that
constipation, and the locking up in the
child's bowels of toxic products of decay,
is the most common cause of baby ills.
Yet, very frequently, the methods used
for overcoming costiveness are quite as
bad as the condition itself; for they tend
to produce an actual paralysis of the in
testinal muscles. This is particularly true
of suppositories and enemas, which should
be used only by the doctors advice.
A teaspoonful of milk of magnesia in
stead, added to the last feeding at night
or given in little water, will usually pro-
duce the results required without weaken
ing the delicate nerves and muscles.
Butter is also admirable, not only in
assisting to overcome constipation, but
also because it is one of the most readily
assimilated of all fats, and can be COM
pletely utilized by the child. Try small
lump of butter two or three times day
for the baby that is undernourished or
sluggish in its bowel action.

100000 of Water to Be Used:
No Need to Ask Bids;

Harrisburg will float the entire

The water fund has approximately
$4,000 in surplus funds, $4,000 of
which represent the earnings of 1914
and the remaining $4,000 the earn
ings of 1915. At least $4,000 Incl
dentally will be earned this year. The
surplus has been earning two per

sioner II. f. Bowman to-day asked
Commissioner Gorgas why the sinking
fund commission hadn't complied with
his request of year ago to take up
some bonds with the surplus in order
that four instead of two per cent.
could be netted. Mr.. Gorgas asked
If it would be permissible to take up
