Cl'CKUO THICK!. INFANT MORTALITY. SOB* Healthful tJiut* fur Aoiluaa Motbvr*. Of the total nuoiber of death* in warm weather, according to the recorda, nearly one- third are children under one year of age. Is ll.iu mortality a uecta- lity ? We are inclined to think not. The diaeaaea from which taese children die arise, aa a role, from preventable caused. Not always ao much from the want of care as from the waat of know- ledge how lo card for mem.

Il maat be remembered that a ehili cannot digest food containing starch. au:u aa rice water, bread food, pap or gruel, anlil it bai teeth. Therefore milk, which ia animal food, haa by nature been given aa the only one needed up to that time. Careful examinatiana prove that the highest mortality is among cbil ireu thai are brought up by hand. Tbis saows for itself thai they are given a paor substitute tor their natural food. Cow'* milk slightly watered and sweetened with sugar of milk ia, perhapa, a gx>d substitute for mother a milk, providing that yoa can depend upon Ihe juality and character of the milk. Thia i* very hard lo do in a large city. Milk that is perfectly good when it leave* iis country home is, in hoi weather, scarcely fit for ordinary table use when il arrive* in the oily. All iheae in ings maat bd taken into consideration. Follow closely the advice of your physician who can, probably, recommend to yoa aome infant a food which he has aaed oujceas'ally. Do not, under any circumstance*, chaoge thi* food al each aug<ealion of your many frieuda aa to the mints of this or that special kind. By ao doing yoa frequently destroy the digestion and appetite of the infant. K member, Churchill aaya. that "mtu'a digeation must be well cared for from Ihe hoar cf birth " Oive child dunag Ihe warm weather a little apace to breathe ; don'l have it cous.anlly naraed, or closely trapped in a baby coaci.

Tbis alone is enough to kill an ordinary chud. By follc- tew oommonsense ideas many of trit.se troobiea can be avoided. Take your babe 'rora its bed every morning al a regular hoar; bathe it well, but carefully, iu lake warm aalt water dry with a aoft towel.

After tba babe it dressed it should be immediately ted . if noi from tbe breast, have the prepared food ready in a perfectly iweet bottle with a short nursing tube, llold the child while feeding in a seuu erect position. It this direction ia not observed thu food i* apt lo be thrown off and loit lo the child. How often we see a nurse in feeding a child by bottle, fii i- comfortably in bed on its back and then pal a long tube in it* mouih, allowing it to sack a maoh air into its stomach as it conveniently can.

The President aod directors ot the Peo- ple's Bank ot Halifax have submitted petition to Ihe Governor-General in Conn- oil, claiming damagea because of the alleged wuful ret uial of Chief Jattice Mc- Donald, of the Supreme Court ot that province, to deliver judgment in favor of Ihe bank in a suit against aome of it* debtors, until il was loo late to recover tbe debts The bank claims that thf Govern- ment ahould recoup to it tbe fll.TGJ which il alleges il lost through the delay m the delivery of the Chief Justice's decision in its favor.
