The NTH or the war; DrOtherS to
meet tragic death was Capt. Peter ].
War; of Calais, who was killed. last
Tuesday night by being struck in the
head by the main boom Of his schoon
er, the Lizzie Lane, while entering
PASSPORT harbor. Two of the brothers
were drowned in the st. CroiX river
near their home, one went overheard
from his schooner in PASSPORT harbor,
and another. Capt. George War;, lost
his life when the schooner Julia A.
War; turned turtle off the Massachu
sets coast in 1896.
Maine used to launch in prosperous
times 10000 to 10000 tons of merchant
shipping yearly, nearly all wooden
sailing craft. In 1917 it is likely that
the new tonnage will aggregate $4,000,
but less than half of it will be of wood.
Materials are costly and scarce but
there is general confidence that ocean
freights will rule high for some years
yet and that the new fleet will pay big
dividends.
Rev. Charles r. Joy, pastor of the
First Parish church in Portland, has
received a call from the First Parish
church of Roxbury, Mass, that pulpit
being vacant with the resignation of
Rev. James D. Normandie, a noted di-
vine of that district.
William F. Nutter of Bath, who was
a singer with Sankey in the days of
the Moody and Sankey REVEALS, now
sings in the choir Of the Peoples
church of Bath. On March 4, 1892, he
had thrilling experience of being
blown up in a subway explosion on the
corner of Bolyston and fremont
streets, Boston, when William Stark,
then bursar of Tufts College, was
blown into fragments by the blast,
Nutter was deaf, blind and dumb for
two years and remained in bed FOR
three years after the explosion. He was
crippled for seven years in all, during
which time he had to walk with
cane. Incidentally in his experience
he had his teeth blown out of his
mouth. Nutter is now janitor Of the
Taxaco Bath.
A short time after Admiral William
Owen of the British navy was granted
by the English crown the 11-mile-long
island of Campobello. N. B., near East
port, he went there with his family
and built the owen mansion, which
had been on it's original site for the
past lac years but is being moved
away a short distance this month and
will be made more modern to be used
as a summer house by an American
family. The Owen Hotel was recently
taken off the property. as it had been
a financial failure. and the old house
will be placed on the site of the hotei,
where there is fine view OF Passama-
IQuoddy Bay. The interior or the
building is still in good shape after
nearly $50 years of service.

EASY LESSONS IN
BABY RAISING
Constipation and Diarrhoea

81 learned one good thing at the
Baby Club" when the lesson was on
Training In Good Habits and that
help in securing free bowel movement
as to help overcome constipation.
Just a weeks persistence in placing
Jimmy on his toilet at exactly the
same time each day has been a great
help in securing free bowl movement
and incidentally it seems to help his
disposition" said Mary the next time
she and Helen had few minutes to
visit.
Constipation makes cross babies,
| had some experience of that kind
with Billy Boy when he was only
about four months old tried
orange juice and it helped little but
he did not like it so l tried prune
juice with great success
How much did you give? asked
Mary
Il began with just one teaspoonful
day and gradually increased to two
teaspoonfuls but a little more would
not harm child whose bowels were
chronically constipated.
How did you prepare the prune
juice?"
81 stewed the prunes slowly a long
time so the juice was quite thick
then strained it carefully so there
were no solids"
Didn't you sweeten it?"
mo, because it had a better ac-
ton when unsweetened. This makes
a good change from orange juice. You
can also use strained oatmeal Cruel
but you must COX the oatmeal a
long time"
Have you tried massaging a
baby's bowels?"
'Ges, my nurse taught me that.
She said to moisten my hands with
olive oil or vaseline and gently mas
sage the abdomen beginning just
above the right groin and carrying
the hand to the ribs, then across the
body and down the right side. Keep
this up for at least five minutes but
be carful not to let the baby's body
chill"
II am glad to know all these things
for it don't seem right to give baby
medicine all the time
mo, | perfer diet to drugs for
constipation. The drug habit is a
bad one. Have you seen the Jenkins
baby lately? 1t certainly is pitt
full object
None of the Jenkins children are
strong. What is the trouble?"
Lack of care, ] imagine. Just now
it has bad diarrhoea but that is
not surprising for the older children
drag it around in the heat and feed
il little of everything they have"
Mrs. jenkins seems to try to take
care of the baby She told me she
always kept flannels on her children
all summer"
'She may try but she certainly

don't know how. How would you
like to wear flannels on some of the
hot days we have occasionally"
mo, l don't. ] mean to keep him
comfortable and his clothes will be
changed to suit the weather. If the
day is hot will strip him down to
band, diaper and slip and sponge
him frequently with cool water to
keep him COOL Overheating is even
worse for babies than for grown ups
and is a frequent cause of bowel
trouble
/ am going to cut down his ration
little too because he wont need
so much food in hot weather. Over
eating causes diarrahoea and an
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure"
Il read the other day that flies car
ried infection that caused diarrhoea.
Jenkins have lots of flies
Eyes and / have seen them swarm
on the baby's face when it was asleep
and light on the nipple of the bottle
from which it takes its food. No
wonder it is i'll. | don't expect 20
lave a fly in the house this summer
and ON going to use flv traps on the
porch to eaten tnose that come visit
lug"
What remedy do you use for
diarrhoea.
81 extend the feeding intervals and
give dose OF castor oil. But if the
diarrhoea continues | send for the
doctor because it is dangerous
thing to neglect"
What a lot there is to learn in
home NURSING RV tho NAV 7 was told
/ to ask you to lead at our next Baby
Club" meeting and our subject is
Constipation and Diorrhoea."
81 will lead but you will have to
| listen to a repetition of what | have
said today Let me read you these
few general that may be of help
to some one"
| If nursing mother is constipated
the nursing baby will proably be con-
( stipated. Change of diet may re-
| lieve.
I Regular toilet habits will assist in
/ relieving constipation.
! Orange and prune juice may be
! given to infants to assist bowel move
ments
! Oatmeal cruel and baked apple
may be added to the menu of children
after nine months.
Enemas should only be used when
baby is badly constipated and needs
/ relief at once.
Normal healthy babies have one
| to two stools a day. If the number
| increases to three or four the mother
should be on her guard against
diarrhea.
Flies carry infection that cause
bowel trouble Kill the flies and
clean up all PAGES where they breed.
If the trouble continues call a
doctor. Diarrhoeas are dangerous.

better off than I am" Daughter And" he added, 'T may go there yet"
 Now, coming down to more serious matters, 1 want to say that there is one matter l neglected to mention this evening that Director Davis refer red to, and for fear of being misun- derstood I want to tell you that fully concur in what he said. It is with reference to charging off the cost of keeping up and maintaining the river banks on the Colorado river. In other words I don't think that should be charged to the cost of con struction of this project and I don't believe it will be. (Applause.) l know that your present senators and congressman of this state think the
 ans way and I think Dr. Mead, as
 recall it, has similar views, and -Iere is so much justice in the con '2GjiOn that 1 feel congress, when il $ fg,ly considered, will take that jew General Marshall has made hat contention for some time, and when that contention is made known to be the views of the men in charge of this project, as 1 view it, with a reputation for conservatism, it will have weight with congress. This is not like some projects-at least two or three-where they want to charge off about half of the project cost even where they are maintaining no river banks, but here is a case where you have a navigable stream and the gov ernment is maintaining the banks ol navigable streams elsewhere anC there is no reason why it should moi do so here Either the government must deny the navigability of this stream or else treat it the same aS other navigable streams. Applause.
 There is an impression among some that the government should treat the reclamation of the arid farms of the country in various localities just as the maintenance and construction O. rivers and harbors. Of course it re quires but a little reflection to sec the two cases are not analogous. II the case of rivers and harbors all the ships of the world may float therein and the entire United States is inter ested Any citizen of the United States has an equal right there.

that the chief counsel of the recla- nation service said they were going to build the mesa project only with the money raised from the sale of those lands and that since it cost more than the amount thus received the landowners must be relieved from payment of the excess. I mean that whatever the project costs that IS what the project will have to pay and in order that I may not be misunder- stood or be misquoted 1 am making that explanation. Question-You mean that whatever it costs the lands will have to pay? Judge King-Yes. am taking that for an illustration of how a person might be misunder- stood. You see, I am looking forward and beginning to see ghosts l don't propose to take any chances. (Laugh- ter.)
 Permit me to say, gentlemen, that have not enjoyed any occasion more than this for a long time and 1 cer- tainly join Mr. Davis in thanking you for the many courtesies extended and hope that I may have an opportunity
 to appear before you again some day The next time I come 1 will be will ing to stay until morning, especially if I hear any more complimentary
 speeches like that of Col. Fly introduc, ing me. (Applause.)

Some will recall what I said in my opening statement while speaking be fore the public gathering this evening that If believed all that is said about me at different times when being in, troduced. I would become so puffed up that I would not be in the reclama- tion service; in fact, cannot say where I would be.
 I remember seeing Col Fly at the Baltimore convention and have a dis tinct recollection of the incident he alludes to. I remember in particular that it was very warm time but will not go into a discussion of that fer feal I might be accused of talking poi itics.
 I will say, however, that since m. good friend Col. Fly has been able to believe a small percentage of the CO., pliments he paid me, if I should be come convinced that all the peopl, of Yuma believe as he does I think . would just stay here and not go bac- to Washington. at all. (Applause).
 Now l am not going to tell any blanket story on Yuma, but 1 do recall very distinctly what happened to one of my friends in Baker City, Ore, when I resided there He was in the weather service. He was a very ac- tive, energetic man of much ability. He is there yet but not in the service, He was under the civil service at the time but could not keep out of poli- tics, and finally he got into serious political "mixup." He told me he eN pected to receive a message at any time telling him where to go next. He had an intimation of that. Finally one day he said, Well, I have receiv ed the notice where to go,' l said Where did they tell you to go to?' He says, ITO he'll" I says. Where is that territory located?" He says Yuma, Arizona, and I'll be damned if I will go there" He sent in his re signation and has not been in the gov ernment service since.
 The last time I saw him was about a year ago. He seemed to be getting along well. He said: "I understand Yuma is now one of the best coun tries and has one of the finest pro jects in the west" "Yes," I said. Ht remarked: "Do you know 1 often wisf that I had gone to hell when l was told to. I would surely have beer
