INCREASED EYE-COMFORT
NECESSARY IN BUSINESS
Dull Furniture and Equipment
are Restful to Eyes of Workers

Every good housekeeper likes to
have things "shine." Every Office
worker likes to have their furnishings
and equipment we'll polished and
neatly kept. But there are places
where "shine" is undesirable and the
top of the desk, the workbench, or
any place where one is looking for
considerable periods of time should be
finished in "flat" or unpublished fin
ishes.
For this reason the use of plate
glass desk and table tops is the ex-
IRENE of folly, for their surfaces
greatly promote reflection glare and
eye-fatigue. The same applies to
highly polished floors in the Office or
at home as well as all objects which
are frequent in the line of vision and
which possess light colored or polish
ed surfaces.
Dark green desk blotters are always
restfull, but why not extend the same
principle to the remainder of the desk?
Some of the new metal desks with
dark, unpublished linoleum tops are
certainly the extreme in eye-comfort.
Bearing these simple facts in mind,
it would be easy for the Office worker
to arrange his equipment and work in
such manner that increased eye
comfort and reduction in fatigue will
result,

No. 3019 Equity. In the Circuit Court
for Garrett County, Maryland
The object of this suit is to pro-
cure a decree for the sale of certain
real estate situate in the town of
Oakland, Garrett County, Maryland,
and for a distribution of the proceeds
amongst the parties entitled to re-
ceive the same.
The bill states that Wilbur L. Davis,
Reva Howard and Clara Echard are
the owners as tenants in common,
share and share alike, of five separate
pieces of real estate, situate in Oak
land, Garrett County, Maryland.
That all of said parties are of full
age, the plaintiffs being residents and
citizens of the State of Maryland, and
that the defendants reside in the State
of Ohio.
That said property is not suscepti-
BILE of partition in kind and that in or
der to make a division of the same it
is necessary that said property be
sold.
The bill then prays for the passage
of decree for the sale of said prop
erty and for general relief, and also
for the order of publication against
the defendants.
1t is therefore, this 23rd day of
June, 1881, by the Circuit Court for
Garrett County, in Equity, ordered
that the plaintiffs, by causing a copy
of this order to be inserted in some
newspaper published in said Garrett
county once in each of four successive
weeks before the oath day of July,
1881, give notice to the said absent
defendants of the object and SUBJ
stance of this bill, warning them to
appear in this Court, in person or by
solicitor, on or before the 10th day of
August next, to show cause, if any
they have, why a decree ought not to
pass as prayed.

PREVENTING SICKNESS OF
BABY BETTER THAN CURE
Ways of Protecting the Young
From Disease Are Suggested

Some of the ways by which the
youngest citizens of this common
wealth may be protected against the
illnesses to which they are particu-
larly susceptible during the warm
weather, are suggested by DR.. j. H.
M. Knox, Jr., Chief of the Bureau of
Child Hygiene of the State Depart
ment of Health, in the following letter
to mothers:
"Babies and young children are par
ticularly susceptible at this time of
the year to digestive upsets and to d.
arrheal diseases. 1t is much easier to
prevent than to cure such diseases.
Here are some of the ways by which
the baby's health may be safeguarded
and the baby kept comfortable during
the hot weather:
Doctors Care-Young babies, es-
pecially during the warm weather,
should be brought up under doc
tors supervision. The doctor should
see the baby that is under year old,
every month so that the mother may
be advised as to it's feeding and daily
care.
Mothers Milk-Very few babies
who are fed exclusively by their moth
ers have diarrheal diseases. Every
mother should nurse her baby if pos
sible. Weaving should be avoided in
hot weather.
"Clean Cows Milk-The next best
substitute for mothers milk is clean
cows milk diluted with water under
the doctors direction and the mixture
boiled for two or three minutes, then
cooled before feeding it to the baby.
When cows milk of good quality can
not be obtained, unsweetened or evap-
grated condensed milk, diluted with
water makes a satisfactory substitute.
The sweetened condensed milk is not
recommended. Babies fed on it ex-
clusively are chubby, often look we'll
but have less resistance to disease.
Studies that have been made show
that many of the children who have
died from diarrheal diseases in the
counties of Maryland had been fed on
sweetened condensed milk.
Contact with Other Cases-Babies
should be carefully protected from
contact with older persons in the fam
lily who are suffering from diarrhea.
blouse Flies-House flies frequent
ly carry the germs that cause diar-
rheal diseases from outhouses to the
baby's food or to the baby's hands
and face and body. Houses should be
screened in the summer and flies
should be kept away from the baby,
it's food and clothing.
"Clothing-The baby and young
child should be dressed according to
the temperature and not according to
the season.
Intervals Between Feeding-Ba-
bies should rarely be fed oftener than
every three hours. There is less risk,
especially in hot weather, if they are
fed at four-hour intervals, that is,
five, or at most, six times in twenty
four hours.
Give Him Drink of Water
Cooled, boiled water should be Of
fered to the baby, frequently, be-
tween feelings, in hot weather"
