TTIE MORXD'G OREGOMAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1910. i AFFINITY" PLEA ! FAILS OF DEVORGL babies do not laugh until the third or fourth month. Leonard laughed in his 12th week. Holt s babies do not reach for objects until the fifth to the seventh month. Leonard grabbed for a pair of scales in his 15th week. In his 20th week he began pulling himself up to the sitting position by the rod fastened across his basket; in his 22d to sit up alone. In his 27th to pull himself up to his feet and stand alone, in his 33d he began to walk. Everything that affected the health or demeanor of the boy was noted on a chart such as hospital nurses1 keep, and this record when consulted proved to be an infallible guide in case of a recurrence of the symptoms.

Magnate. looses Fight Against Wife in Which "Stenographer Affinity" Plays Heavy Role. BOISE, Idaho. Feb. 21. (Special.) Judge Fremont Wood, in one of the most com prehensive divorce decisions handed down (in the history of the state, today denied the petition of Valentine Winters for a divorce from Helen Cleg Winters, both wealthy and prominent people of Day ton, Ohio.

"Affinity" Disease Scored. The decision contains epproximatoly .15.0)0 words, and says the defendant. Mrs. 5 "Winter, has just cause for divorce, the court flaving the plaintiff for attentions to so-oalled affinities and setting forth at length Inability on the part of the plMntlff to substantiate charges of de seftion and cruelty, the two causes for acflon. The court lays bare the causes behind the action and makes ub!ie the endear ing letter written by Wrnters to his pret ty stenographer. Annabelle Clayton. This is the one of the so-called "sad dismissals." forced by Mrs. Winters. In it the husband declares he is unable to meet the young -woman face to face but declares "that his heart bleeds as he 'writes. ,God help and bless you. Good bye." Wife Wins Heavily. Mrs. Winters Is granted by the decree S5O00 attorneys" fees and I12EV0 for expense and suit money, which Winters must pay. Judge Wood states he is satisfied Mrs. "Winters and her husband can never again resume their marital relations, but that . oes not involve a decision on the case. 'Scoring Winters, the court says: "I am satisfied that the grief, anguish and mental disquietude of the plaintiff ' caused by his relations with the defend ' ant "have been rendered unbearable only at those times when he has been the ; guilty party by neglecting the defend- j ant for other women whose names appear : so frequently in the testimony." The Idaho divorce colony is in conster nation s the result of the Winters deci sion, wherein Judge Wood declares that the acquiring of evidence here by persons seeking divorce, for that sole purpose, is reprehensible and should be discontinued.

MODERN BABY TRAINING How a College-Bred Mother Is Bring ing V Her Boy. Van Norden's Magazine. "Scientific babies" are" not necessarily prodigies, neither are college women, as many writers have averred. not qualified to be good mothers. The ex perience of Mrs. William Noyes, a col lege graduate, with her son Leonard, now two years old, disproves both these theories and furnishes a new line of thought in the raising of children for mothejs of all classes. It proves, too, that science is casting out and uproot ing superstitious methods and is lead ing the mother to forego her selfish pride for the infant's sake and that ul timately means a better and stronger citizenship. I-eonard Noyes was not clad, to begin with, In the filmy draperies with which mothers delight to clothe their children. He was never rocked or sung to sleep: he was never cuddled or shown off to an admiring company; and kissing was left entirely out of his scheme of life. His mother had all the maternal in stincts, but science declares that these manifestations of affection are harmful to an Infant's nervous organization and she banished them all for the child's sake. To begin with, Mrs. Noyes. before Leonard's birth, made a layette so dif ferent from the ordinary one as to be revolutionary, being composed of loose, knitted cotton garments which would not Interfere with either his circula tion or his freedom of movement. His crib not a cradle was a plain wicker basket, light enough to be carried from one place to another and small enough to be placed on a window sill. Soon after the child's birth the moth er began to keep a record, similar to those kept by nurses, of his treatment and his behavior under it. She regis tered each of the natural functions and every rash or pimple, each cold or fe ver, each nap or spell of crying went down Into her book. At regular inter vals, she entered his weight and meas urements and made observations on his muscular and mental development. Convinced that too little rather than too much food would be of most benefit, she reduced his meals to six a day. Just enough and not too much, was her motto. At 2 months Leonard weighed 12 pounds 1H pounds above the aver age established by Dr. L. Emmett Holt, the famous child specialist. At 3 months he was 2.7 pounds above the average. From the first month he was syste matically exercised, first b massage. Later, holding him by the feet, the mother began by letting him bend him self backward on her knee till his head hung down to the floor, and he support ed his body by the muscles of his feet and legs. When he began to take no tice, Mrs. Noyes fastened a wooden rod across his basket, and he entertained himself by pulling himself up to a sit ting position by Its aid. ; The "average" babies observed by Holt do not hold up their heads until the third or fourth month. Leonard held up his In the third week. Holt's Alleged Failure to Secure Street Lights Causes Bitterness.

As for the quality of Speaker Can non's cigars, we firmly believe it to be good. Credence should not be given to the report that he receives them in barrels. That Is merely a Washington correspondent's exuberant ,wa y of stat ing that the Speaker has laid In, through his own forethought and the kindness of -his friends, a large supply of smokes for the remainder of the ses sion.

DO YOU KNOW that many preparations made and offered as substitutes for scosrs it contain from 12 to 20 per cent, of alcohol, and do you know that the genuine Scott's Emulsion has not a single drop of alcohol in it ? That is one of the reasons why it is the world's standard treatment for consumption ; another is its quick transformation into rich, red blood, giving immediate and lasting strength to a greater de gree than any other preparation.
