■ i ■ i i ■ ■ *■ i irr I Proper Feeding. . Mother's milk ia the beat food for babies at. +11 times. A, far as diet is concerned, the .breast-fed baby of a poor and illiterate mothei ha, a better chance for 'life than the bottle-fed baby of rich parents. N« mother or physician, however wise oi well-informed, can prepare a substitute half so good as mother's milk. •Regularity of Feeding. Nurse the baby regularly by the clock, not oftenei than every three hours. To frequent feeding makes it sick. Weaning. Do not wean the baby during, the hot weather if it can be avoided. Even if you need to supplement the . breast feedings by one or more bottle feedings a day, give the baby the benefit of as many breast feedings as possible. 1 Artificial Food. If you must wean the I baby .give it modified milk rather than * any of the baby foods on the market. 1 Pure, clean cow's milk is the best sub- ' 1 stitute for mother's milk. Buy certi- 1 fied milk, if you can get it. If certified ' milk cannot be secured, buy pasteurized, I bottled milk for the baby. The milk i should be kept on ice in the . delivery wagon and placed on ice the. moment it 1 n-acliee the house. As soon as possible after the Inilk is ' delivered, modify it according to the ] formula given you by the doctor. Prepare the amount needed for the entire 24 hours and put one feeding in each of the' nursing bottles, which have l»eeu washed, boiled and cooled. Stopper the bottles with clean absorbent cotton and immediately place them on ipe and keep them there until time to warm for feeding. Any milk left in the bottle should be thrown out — never reheated for another feeding. Do not give the baby any food other than milk, unless the doctor orders it. Give the baby a drink of cool, boiled water several times a day. Never give it tea, coffee or beer. - Weight. Weigh the baby every week. A regular gain in weight is the surest sign that the baby is getting enough suitable food. DANGERS OF IMPROPER POOD Carelessness and ignorance in fedding are responsible for most of the cases of "summer complaint" in babies. Every summer diarrhea kills thousands of babies and makes thousands of others ill. The baby victims of this one disease are more numerous than all the victims of malaria, typhoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, whooping rough and infantile paralysis. The great importance of breast feeding is shown by the fact that fatal cause of diarrhea among the breast-fed babies are rare. .KEEP THE BABIES COOL Clothing. In hot weather the ha by should wear very little clothing — never enough to make it sweat.- > Consider its | com torts and not its looks When you " dress it. A thin shirt anif stockings ' and a diaper arc all it needs. On extremely hot days, remove all clothing but a thin slip and diaper. Change all the baby's cloth esc when yoa put it to bed. Fresh Air. Always keep the windows open in the room where the baby sleeps. . In the daytime let it deep, put Of doors in its carriage, in a shady place. Fasten a net over the carriage, and shade the _ baby's eyes from the light. KEEP THE BABY CLEAN Bathing. Batbe the baby every day in warm water. In very hot >reajtlier give • | it also a sponge bath before "it is put to bed. Every time the body's bowels move, wash the parts with soap an J Diapers. Never use a diaper a second', time without washing. Keep soiled diapers in a covered pail away from flies. Play. Let the baby play in it* crib or in a pen where it cannot get into the dirt. Don't let the other children play with it unless they a re clean. Don't let it handle dags and cats. Dirt doubles the baby's danger of having diarrhea. Flies. Flies breed in filth, and carry filth and germs on their feet. If they | walk over the baby's face, or take a bath in its milk, the germs they leave may make the baby sick. The danger of its having diarrhea is doubled if it is exposed to flies. DON'T DOPE THE BABY Never give the baby soothing syrups s or patent medicines. If it is sick enough to need medicine, it needs the doctor first. Paregoric and many other baby remedies contain roorphin or other opiates which are particularly harmful to babies. If the baby is fretful, seek the cause of its discomfort, dont dope it. If it is sick, send fqr_tbe doctor at once. Stop all food, put" tie baby to bed and keep it quiet ^fesd. cool. Give it only water until the doctor cornea, - then follow his advice. ,".V .Children* Cry Fife FUTCHCin - S* CASTORIA Advertise in ths Star and Wave.

FISH THAT TRAVEL ON LAND. ! That certain species of fisb are able I actually to flop over the land Is tbe re- ' morkablt discovery of a Johns Hopkins professor. | In the course of his investigations ( the professor noticed that sucb fish as minnows are often found in the little temporary pools that are left in tbe -and' -by the retreating .tide. If the j minnows are so unwary as to be flight ^ when tfce «jtran<J> is blacked, thoy . actually leave the water and flop over the sand to the sea. Tbe professor ha*,, often seen scores of tbewe fish ^ leave large pools and travel over sana

bars more than twelve feet wide and half a loot high. Ie A remarkable feature about this discovery is that the fish never take tbe wrong direction for any great distance. : When fish travel on land, the professor 1 asserts. they spring like snakes or i is kangaroos by certain bends of the ■ is body. Although in its fall the fish ; le may find its bead turned tbe wrong way. ie It nevehheless mak'.'S iU next "leap in ie the protie- direction. i it These re- e* rebel raise the question: ' f' Is there some mental machinery at t work in the tissues of fisb. wbicb may ' ir be instinet. wbieh may be sense, and 1 b which may i* something allied to the ' a memory?— Mail ' 1

Consul Letcher, in 1912, estimated Ik* holdings of Americans in Mexico to bo ■M .058.000,000 in value. How much of that has teen destroyed will probably never be accurately estimated. American business men were earnestly soUc- : | 'ted by Mexican official* to come the**, tbeir money and develop tbe , country. Tbey went there confident that if the necessity ever arose tbey would have the American Government i of them. Up to the time of Wtfodrow Wilson's advent to power this confidence was never betrayed, the Mexiknew it would not be, American enterprise in Mexico prospered, Mexican industries were developed, and civilisaadvanced. G rover Cleveland was no slouch when H came to standing up for American citizens. Then came the Madero insurrection and the overthrow of Diaz, Huerta fol- _ lowed Madero, and before Preaida^H Taft could give proper consideration tofn 's claim to recognition, a professor reared in the rarefied atmosphere' of the acauemic cloister took over the rein* of this GorernOTnt. Three years following Wilson's Inauguration witnessed a treatment of Americans in Mexico wearisome to repeat and a matter of shame ' to every red-blooded citizen of . this country. Their property was destroyed, some of them were murdered in cold blood, and their wives were ravished. Their own' Government would give them no redress. Of late administration officials have been trying to encourage American enterprise to develop industries in varions other parts of Central and South Amer- • ica, in order that we may retain our export trade with those countries. What American will have tbe temerity to engage in such work as long as the Democrats are in power? Vance McCormick plans to help along Wilson's campaign for reelection by the aid of the movies. The slogan of this feature of the canvass will be "Film flim and flam." THAT "INVESTIGATION" Tbe "investigation" of the "reckless" .-xpenditure of public monies of the : County Board of Chosen Freeholders 1 has ended, and one lone indictment ia the result. The Grand Jury under the • able direWian of IVosecutor Carrowj • has left no stone unturned in its three . months of examination and investigar tion of the business of tbe Board, and r nothing has been found irregular or_ex- • travagant, beyond, perhaps, a few doti lars here and there spent incompetently, , rather than recklessly. i Throughout tbe entire proceedings — the petition asking for the investigation, : tin- later petition calling for an election for a Small Board, and tbe subsequent - election — tbe Times has contended that I the affair was nothing else than a bold, i brazen political move on the part of a " few who, having been inglorionsly defeated in other attempts to gain control of the affairs of the county, made one last and desperate effort to sway public sentiment their way. In every body of men, whether organized for social, religious, municipal, county or state betterment or government, a certain few are incompetent and indifferent to tbeir pledged or sworn duties will be found. To use this weakness of men as a lever to further political ambitions is the rankest kind of vandalism, and it i* well for tbe county that in this case the thin veneer of the chief actors was pierced, and their true self was shown. The voters of the county will not forget the little political drama of the past year, and will justly ropudiate*and down any candidate or candidates for public oflice who are even remotely connected with, and backed by, the faction responsible. — Cape May County Times.
