The kind are looking for is the kind we sell. J Hockey, Portland, Ont., were HAS BEEN VERY LOW KINGSTON THIS YEAR, -- Only 'Nine Have Died From Cholera Infantum--~Great Care Should be Taken by Mothers to Preserve In- fant's Health, Several of the leading undertakers in the city express the opinion that the mortality among babies this year Is low when compared with other years, This is a surprising thing, but true nevertheless. Although cholera in- fantum has been prevalent, the death rate among babies has been very low. Most of the milk dealers are now pastenrizing their milk, and this lessens the danger from econtamina- tion, ' One undertaker stated that in other years, when conditions were far more favorable than this year; the death rate had been very much higher. He stated that in one day as many as six babies had been buried by his firm. It is fortunate, therefore, that in spite of the extreme heat the mortal- ity among infants should continue so low, and mothers generally will feel relieved to know that the danger has been lessened. Of course, during the hot spells much care must be taken to keep the babies cool, so that they will not die from exhaustion, which is a common form of ailment, Of the thirty-four babies which have died since June 1st, only nine have died from cholera infantum, so that the dangers from this, although they must be recognized, are not as great as sometimes imagined. This information is presented so that no unnecessary alarm need be caused mothers with young infants. Great care should, however, be tak- en to insure for them a healthy con- dition at this time, IN PORTLAND SOLDIER WOUNDED IN ACTION Pte. George Hockey, of Both Battalion, Is Reported Wounded In Action. On Saturday Mr, and Mrs. George noti- fied that their son, Pte. George, had been wounded in the arm and le while on duty with his battalion in France. Pte. Hockey, who is only about eighteen years of age, enlisted with the 69th Battalion in Brockville last fall and spent the winter there, He left Brockwille with that battalion last March, and after a brief train- 1, -- " Regard it ds Expression of Dissatis- faction With Government's Temp- €rance Policy--Handwriting on the Wall. The liquor men of the ei Raturally much pleaged with a hae tion of H, Dewart, Liberal, in Southwest Toronto, They regard on as a, % cation' tha toe unmistakable indi fled with the temperance policy, and beginning to realize that the Govern- ment went too far. The liquor men pointed out that the victory seemed to emphasize the fact that the temp- erance vote cuts more ice in a parade than it dosa Is the polling booths, ominent liquor 'dealer stat to the Whig that Mr. Dewart's tod tory showed that elections were not won by the rabid Doliticians of eith- re side, but by the silent thinking voter. The intelligent electors real- ized that strong men were needed in the Legislature at Toronto. The Government, he said, lacked men of statesmanship and strength. Strong men were required to protect the in. terests of the People. The Hearst Government had rode roughshod over the interests of many land- owners of the. province, The liquor man related the case of a local landlady who, at an ex- penditure of $15,000 recently fitted up her hotel property, the tenant spending another $2,000 or $3,000, Now, what would happen if the ten. ant cancelled his lease, which he could do in three months if he so desired? The landlady would be in An unenviable position. Her hotel could not very wel] rent for a store, a warehouse or for any other kind of business. In other words, the $15,000 which she recently spent to make the property more effective for hoteikeeping would be worse than thrown away. And this in- stance was, only one of many that could be mentioned in the province. In view. of these facts, concluded the liquor man, stron are needed at Toronto to safeguard the property interests of the people, A leading hotelman said he was glad Dewart was elected because his election would demonstrate to the Government that it had pleased neither the liquor nor the temper- ance people. The Government, said the hotelman, should have consulted the people before adopting prohibi- tion, or, failing to do this, it should have allowed. a beer and wine license, with the sale of liquor at certain hours. The electors, too, were condemning the Government for ignoring the commercial inter- ests of many people in passing pro- hibition, and for throwing many people out of employment. The liquor men are agreed that the election of Liberals in North Perth and in Southwest Toronto was the handwriting on the Hearst Gov- ernment's wall, indicating its defeat Government's that they are E {at the next election. fete, ANOTHER LAWN SOCIAL HELD BY THE Y- W.
