Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels The most
common of these are cheese tea. and
boiled milk On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat

Ing Of all oil fields, wells and means
OF production and transportation for the
period Of the war.
Months ago a leasing bill was worked
through the House and Senate and sent
to a non-active conference committee
where it now reposes.
A shortage Of oil measured at 10000
TO 10000 barrels a day is reported by
the oil producers
The Oil fields are not being worked
as they should be owning to the pro-
tracted feud over rights to take oil from
lands which have been set aside as
naval reserve and lands which have
1syer left the government possession.
incidentally there is likely to be a
general overhauling Of the oil admin
istration in Garfeld's fuel department.
Some OF the men selected to help Gar

practically a failure, with some hav-

USE CLEAN, PURE MILK
State Health Department Calls 1T
tention to Matter of Great I'M
portance to Children.

Richmond, Va, May ct IS just
about this time of year that the
health officers in the cities expect to
begin getting their first reports OF
deaths among infants from what IS
, commonly termed summer COM
Fplaint." approximately 725 infants
die each year in Virginia from this
trouble, the larger proportion falling
victims in the months of June, July
and August.
Coincident with the increasing &C
tivity of the fly in late May the dis
ease begins to make itself felt, while
dangerous milk in the common prac-
tice of raising the baby on the bottle
is one of the moving cases Of this
trouble, which is comparatively in
significant in incidence among breast
fel babies. The mother who must
raise her babe on o:aer food than
that nature intended for It should see
that her child is given milk from
healthy COWS only. that the milk is
fresh. and that the bottle used and
the receptacles in which the milk is
kept are steril;zod. Both the babe
and it's food should be kept screened
from the great enemy Of its health
the disease-bearing fly. The child
had better go hungry than for its
mother or nurse TO take a risk with
impure milk, which acts as poison up
on the system Of the little one.
