days old, we Dr. Dat"S
switched to a Breck feeder.
This is a glass barrel with .
nipple on one end and a rubber
bulb on the other. These feed
ers are used for all children
who are small and weak,
whether they are premature or
not. That is because they
haven't the strength themselves
to nurse long enough to furnish
their needs.
Easy To
Take Liquids
In this method Of feeding, it
is made easy for the liquid to
enter the stomach. Of course,
if you force too much, vomiting
and choking will take place.
Therefore, it must be given
skillfully. You see, the only
way to increase their strength
is to feed them plenty Of Sus-
tanning food. Large hospitals
sometimes achieve this same re-
suit by pouring milk into the
stomach directly through q
tube. This method is called
"gavage," but we managed to
avoid doing this. This some
times causes other troubles, and
I had enough just then.
In caring for premature chill
dren, the important thing is to
give the child complete rest.
Don't handle the child any more
than you absolutely have to.
Just see that he has the proper
amount of warmth, correct hui
midity and diet, and let him
alone. Nature will do the rest.
Enter World
Before Ready
Remember, premature chill
dren come into the world before
they are really ready for it. In
the case Of the quintS, they were
two months previous, and we
had to nouriSh every spark OF
life in them in order to produce
q continuous function Of the va
rious systems of the body ma
chine. For the first few months
we. watched those babies every
minute of the day and night,
and we gave them nouriShment
as often as we could. That was
the only thing we could do
give them strength to fight their
battle for life.
I'll never tell you how often
one or more of them-Marie
most often-looked as though
they were gone. We would see
them going blue: it looked as
though heart action had failed
and that the lungs had col"
lapsed. In those crises, we adj
ministered a few drops Of rum,
and every time they rallied.
Rum Worked
With Success
I remember how I was criti"
cized by some cranks for giving
them rum. Some wrote me de-
manding why I hadn't given
brandy. Well, my answer was
simple enough-we didn't have
any. Money was pretty scarce
in those days; brandy was ex-
pensive, rum was cheap-it was
all I could afford. But the great
thing about it is that it worked.
At the end of the first week,
we were able to substitute Q
better Stimulant than either
brandy or rum. This was a gas
mixture-95 per cent oxygen.
5 per cent dioNde. We fed it
to the children through an ordi'
nary inhalator and a reducing

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX !:

quit the university and go to

Civil engineering was the
course l had chosen as a pro
fession but l had to give it up.
Instead l jerked soda at chain

in sandwiches and fairlesS food
combinations, rather than pre-
ScuptlonS. My college TREND
didn't desert me, and l was in,
vited to their place at the shore,
to spend my tWoweek vacation
last summer.
There l fell head over heels
In love with my friends sister.
Realizing the hopeleSSnesS of it,
cut short my vacation, went
back to jerking soda. Feeling
that the situation was way be.
yond my depth financially, I
never went to see the girl. But
she used to come to the drug
store and see me. I didn't take
up any of her bids, thinking she
was amusing herself.

HANCOCK COUNTY
Sugar Plant To Begin
Operation

The Findlay plant of the Great
Lakes Sugar company probably will
not open for the 1889 campaign be-
fore the last of this week. This
was the opinion expressed Tuesday
evening by M. R. Allen, plant super
intendent.
Weather will be a determining
factor, Mr.. Allen said. AS long as
the crop appears to be growing it
will be left to develop to the ut
most of productivity.
The plant superintendent ex-
pressed satisfaction concerning the
prospects for this years crop. Up
wards to 1900 acres are expected
to be harvested in this area. The
plant is expected to be in operation
till mid-December.

Premium Paid For
Boys Hogs

A price of $3.50 a hundredweight
was received by Edwin Steiner, Jr.,
10, and George Steiner, IT, sons of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Steiner, Sr.,
for the record-breaking two-ton lit
ter of hogs which were sold at the
Cleveland market. Swift & Co., the
purchasers, paid 25 cent premium
over the regular market price for
the champion hogs.
The hogs, which weighed 4,248
pounds when weighed for record, had
lost weight on the trip to Cleveland
so that they weighed only 4,030
when sold. A total price of $291.50
was received for the litter.
The purchasing company plans to
test the carcasses of the hogs to de-
termine if it benefits them to pay
extra premiums for high grade ami
mails.

Dry Sentiment Spreads
In County

November will witness the most
widespread attempt to outlaw liquor
and beer that Allen county has seen
since the national referendum which
brought in prohibition.
Dry workers in Bath township in
troduced petitions several weeks ago
to bring about a local option elec-
tion at the polls in November. A
week later similar petitions appeared
in Shawnee township, still without
publicity or pubic appeals for sig
natures.
Other districts rapidly caught the
dry fever, and today elections are
either assured or are being sought
in four townships, two villages and
two Lima precincts.
Similar votes are sought in Rich
land and American townships. In
Richland, liquor sales already are
prohibited, and the goal is abolition
of beer and wine. In American
township the desire is only to pro-

The college town of Bluffton and

Sale of liquor already is banned
