KEEPING THE BABIES WELL

Water, milk, flies and fingers are
all sources of danger to the baby
and should be considered as such in
any effort to prevent sickness among
young children" sums up the advice
of DR.. R. H. Riley, Director OF the
State Department OF Health in re-
gard to the summer care of the baby.
Here are some Of the ways" he
said, by which the baby's health
may be safeguarded:
''See that the baby gets its moth.
er's milk, If possible Pasteurize the
milk that is given to the Dottis fed
baby. The same precaution should
be observed in regard to the milk
given to older children.J
Keep all milk clean, cool and COW
cred.
Always wash the hands thorough
ly with soap and water before pre-
pairing the baby's food.
Never take the baby out in the
hot sun.
Screen the house against flies and
mosquitoes. Use mosquito net
over the baby's bed when the baby
takes a nap out OF doors.
Dress the baby according to- the
weather. Keep light blanket or a
dress to slip over the baby when
there is sudden drop Of tempera-
ture.
Take the baby to your doctor at
the first indication of diarrheal dis
turbance.
at is hard for any body to believe
that the city baby has a better
chance. than the country baby, OF
keeping wen. But seeing is believ-
ing and glance at records OF the
State Department of Health shows
that beginning in 1921 and continu-
ing each year since then there have
been more deaths from diarrheal dis
eases among babies and young child
rem under two years old in the .coun-
ties than in Baltimore City. There
has been steady decline in these
diseases in the counties as well as in
Baltimore City but with more fav-
orable record OF Baltimore City than
for the rest Of the State. In the
counties, the deaths from diarrheal
diseases among children Of that age
went down from SGT in 1921 to 291
in 1927; in Baltimore City from 42S
in 1921 to 191 in 1927.
Checking back against these fig
ure for some factors that might con-
tribute in some way to this record,
we find that owing to the laws re-
quiring the pasteurization OF milk
in Baltimore City pasteurization OF
the milk is much more general in the
city than in the counties. A consid-
cradle part OF the decrease can ac-
cordingly be attributed to the safe
guarding that comes from this pre-
caution"

what would the election OF GOV.

What would the election of Gov.
Alfred Smith mean to prohibition
enforcement? Gov. Smith secured
repeal of the enforcement act in New
York. He would undoubtedly try to
secure the repeal of the volstead
Act. The amendment would be left
without statutory support and the
country would be absolutely overrun
with bootleggers and moonshiners.
Then the President would point to
the failure" of prohibition and de-
mand that the amendment be re-
pealed.

MISSOURI RIVER
CLIFFS UNIQUE
DOT SKYLINE AT GATE OF
MOUNTAINS

Eastern visitors to Montana this
summer have returned to their homes
with stories Of their trips mi adven-
lures in the west. A number have on
tributed stories to the eastern papers
and magazines about the Rock Noun
tain country, and several have referred
favOrabiy to the trip through the Gate
of the Mountains. One writer gives
this description Of the scenery in The
New York Sunday Times, which is pub
nshed in the editorial section of that
newspaper without the authors name:
The towering cliffs along the Missouri
river at the Gate of the Mountains, along
the route followed by the Lewis and
Clark expedition, present many odd for
nations hat are easily imagined as
shapes of men n animals. Biologists
have concluded that the cliffs which once
were Just as far beneath the surface OF
the earth as they are now above 1t. are
the result OF a gradual lift taking place
during cons OF time.
For they most part they are rough
and ribbed, but here inc there q smooth
wall is seen punctured with tiny holes.
Many swallows nest in these. Dozens OF
them may be seen flying straight at the
wall In full flight, as though they were
about to dash their brains out when
suddenly they disappear through the
apertures. Further up, too, may
be seen the narrow trail of mountain
goats passing through small tunnels in
The side of the ridge.
Calmly surveying the scene at the top
OF a cliff at one point Is q ealisttc-look
ing elephant, his head Of solid rock, two
places gouged out by the elements serv-
ing for his eyes, his trunk intact below
but somewhat corrugated in appearance,
AS the boat goes on up the river past
him the elephant suddenly becomes q
Santa Claus with q full pack of toys on
his back. On the other sic of the river
Is a lion with a splendid name.
1.-THE mos realistic and amusing forma-
ton is that Of the bride and groom. The
groom stands in a rocky cathedral await
Ing his bride at the altar. As the boat
goes by, carefully manipulated by the
captain, the. bride approaches, enveloped
in a long veil. Gradually she moves to-
ward the groom, until at another turn OF
the pilots wheel, she falls into his arms.
There is also a formation known as
the Chinese Wall, a close natural repro
duction.
"A curious sight pointed out to Wis
itors Is the imprint OF what was prob
ably an Indians hand. 1t Is only about
two feet above the water line and u .
bright red in color. The captain, who
has been on the river for 40 years, says
the color Is as bright now a. 1t was when
he first discovered 1T, many years ago.
"A king may be seen on his throne near
the clouds with subjects doing obeisance
before him. Back Of him IL an embattled
castle with turrets standing out against
the sky like a vast fortress"
