Infant Mortality Is Very Heavy
ThU Summer.
The infant mortality In Iowa has
been so strikingly heavy this summer
that the people at large may be led
to give serious attention to the bulle
tins of the state board of health; and
this is the main problem in the mat
ter of saving the babies. Any physi
cian of ordinary professional qualifi
cation can tell how to save the babies
but as a rule he can't get anybody to
liBten until after the babies are dead.
The circular lately issued by the
Iowa health board repeats the well
advertised truth that good milk
would save a large percentage of the
infants that die in the hot weather,
and the further demonstrated truth
that the one good milk par excellence
for any baby Is its mother's milk. So,
almost any particular baby can be
guarded against the greatest danger
that threatens it if its mother is will
ing to take the necessary trouble.
The greatest obstacle in the way of
the general employment of this excel
lent safeguard is that lt Is too sim
ple. It is not that women In general
wouldn't be willing to feed their
own babies In order to save their
lives, for most of them recognize that
lt is no great disgrace to nurBe one's
own offspring. It Is merely that they
don't know the value of lt. Like most
of the great remedies, it is too easy
and cheap to be recognized at its real
worth. World-Herald.

Fine Homes.
A day or two since while in the
town of Union we had the pleasure of
Isiting the new homes of D.W. Fos'
ter and M. H. Shoemaker, which
were rapidly nearlng completion
They are both situated side by side,
but of different architecture, and
both contain about the same number
of rooms. They are elegantly locat
ed in the northeast part of the town,
and will be furnished with all modern
conveniences, such as heat, water,
bath room and the like. First class
workmen have been doing the work
and when fully completed, these two
old residents and excellent citizens
can rest the balance of their days
on earth in peace and happiness. Mr.
Shoemaker is one of the wealthiest
farmers ot that section, and owns
about 400 acres of land as fine as
ever a crow flew over. Mr. Foster is
similarly situated, and they both can
now sit back on their dignity and
review the early history of Nebras
ka to their hearts' content. The
Journal hopes that both these good
citizens will live long to enjoy the
fruits of their early struggles and
years of incessant toll.

OLD SPORT" .
TAKES TUMBLE
A Fall Off the Front of Switch
Engine, While Going at a
Rapid Rate.
"Old Sport," a member of the
switching crew met with an accident
which caused him to get a shaking
up at least. "Sport" Is a member of
the canine family and came to Platts
mouth some time ago, a tramp. The
dog became attached to the switch
ing crew at the station, probably be
cause some of the crew found his
rations for him and soon learned to
hop on the engine and got to feel that
he was a part of the Burlington sys
tem. He makes regular trips to
the Junction and Oreapolls, riding
on the front of the switch engine, ap
parently enjoying the breeze. Yester
day he was making the trip from
Oreapolls, and Engineer Thrall was
hitting Up about twenty-five miles an
hour around a curve, when "Old
Sport" lost his balance and went
several summersaults into the weeds.
He was not injured, however, and
immediately started back to Oreap
olls to wait for the next train.
Fireman Gilea Roman notified Mr.
Thrall of the loss of a member of
the crew when the engine was slow
ed down and stopped, and backed up
for "Sport" to get on. The dog again
mounted the switch engine and ar
rived at the station with the switch
engine, feeling, no doubt, that his
friends still stood by him.

fore gasoline had been put Into the
coal oil can but had been emptied
out before the coal oil bad been put
Into the can, but It la supposed that
some ot the gasoline had become mix

followed the attempt to pour the
