Tallahassee, Fla, April 80, 1917
Special TO the Ocala Banner
The Wells anti-shipping bill, which
it had been understood would go to
Governor Cats Friday did not reach
the executive office as had beeen ex-
pected. Mr.. Wells, in an interview
today, said that the bill was ready for
President Johnson to sign Friday but
was overlooked in the press of bust
ness until after adjournment. The
bill will be signed by the president
Of the senate and will reach Govern
or Cats Tuesday. 1t is Mr.. Wells I'M
derstanding, based upon an interview
with the governor, that the bill will be
signed Tuesday.
He said that the conference Of pro-
hibition leaders resulted in them re-
questing, through Mr. D. c. McMullen,
the signing of the bill. The governor
has promised Miss Neal, president of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Florida, that he would hold
up the signing OF the bill until he
could have the pen used by Governor
Trammell in signing the Davis pack
age law here for him to use in sign
ing this bill.
Speaking of the probable effect Of
the bill upon the statewide prohibit
ton amendment Mr.. Wells said that
he did not believe that it would have
any harmful effect upon the amend
ment. and that it would materially
help in the enforcement of the pres
ent local option laws Although l am
in favor OF local option and expect TO
vote against the amendment individ-
ually when it is submitted, | am in
favor of the enforcement of the law
in counties that have voted against
the sale of liquor Under the Reed
act he continued, unless there is
some legislative action the state will
be absolutely bone-dry when the
amendment is ratified There is a
large element in favor of statewide
prohibition who would be opposed TO
the amendment if it was made impos-
sible for any liquor at all to be ship
ped into the state for medicinal or
other purposes" The Wells bill rec
ognizes this fact and its effect will be
beneficial to the amendment, rather
than otherwise.

appear at the righI time. Talking
is delayed. Babies who have ricketts,
are sick for long time, catch cold
very easily and may die.
1t is important that sickness be
noticed as soon as possible and the
doctor sent for.
Points to be remembered:
Babies need much sleep, habits of
eating and sleeping at the same time
each day, and much air and sunshine
Babies need to be kept warm.
Babies need to be kept clean.
Babies need to be kept simply and
warmly dressed
Babies need clean milk.
Babies need to be nursed by the
mother, if she can in any way do it.
| Babies food should be prescribed
| by the doctor and not by the neigh
bors. 1t should not be changed too
often.
Milk must be kept cold until want
ed, II 1t is to be good. 1t must be
carefully prepared according to the
doctors directions.
Babies need water to drink
| 1t is important to know sick child
from we'll one.
Teething is not a sickness.
Babies under nine months of age
should have no other food than milk
and no beer, pickles, meat, fruit or
pretzels.
No pacifiers should be used
Soothing-syrup should not be used
Castor-oil is the safest medicine for
diarrhoea.
Babies should be kept off the floor
out of drafts. and should not be near
people who have colds.
Colds, diseases of the digestion and
of the breathing system are the sick
nesses from which babies suffer most
