If you will put from one fourth to half a teaspoonful in baby's bottle three or four times a day you will soon see a marked improvement. For larger children, from half to a teaspoonful, according to age, dissolved in their milk, if you so desire, will very soon show its great nourish ing power.

Harbor Defeases of New York to Bt Given Thorough Trial. . ptdanUr FHtin Taafa Will tfca Coparta mt Hmvw At- tha laian, Within the past few days the war department haa taken the firat atepe toward carrying out what will be a moat intereating teat of war material, to take place In New York harbor dur ing the coming summer. The experi ments will constitute a thorough and practical test of the adopted ajatem of lire control as it ia technically called; in other words, the direction of the lira of the gtlna of a modern fortification from ihe Urge 12-inch guns down to the Much rapid-Ire guns. One of the moat intereating point to be determined is the relative mer; its of the vertical and horizontal range finders. A portion of the teat will consist of Bring at targets, and this will nataraUy be done with serrice projectiles and powder. The object of this part of the work will be to determine how closely the range and position 'finders have located the' tar et Ab other part of the teat, and with out qaeaUon the most interesting from a speetaeular point of view and thus to the public, will be that por tion wherein the navy win be naked to cooperate. This will eonaiat in an attempt on the part of one or more war vessels to enter the upper har bor of New Tork unmolested by the fire from the formidable forte on each aide of the Narrows. In thia case the fire from both contestant will be with blank cartridges, though the powerful aearchlighta of the fort and vesaela will add realiem to the night attacks. This part of the eoming test will be quite similar to the maneuvers conducted last fall in Narraganaett hay.

It ia anticipated that quite a dis tinguished party ni officials will be present during the teata, including the' secretary of war and possibly the aee retary of the navy. The teata will be conducted , under the general direction of the board of ordnance and fortifica tion. PERFORMS BIG MEDICAL FEAT D. Sefca Lata Severa the Jmaralaa eta to Save a Patleafs Ufa.

On Wedneaday last a slight operation was performed to deter mine the exact location of the disease and several incisions were made. The abscess was found to be near the jugular vein and the second and more serious operation was decided upon by the attending physician as necessary in order to prevent the poi son from reaching the heart by means of the jugulnr vein. The jugular vein on the left side of the neck was sev ered and both ends were tied. The sev ering of the vein prevented all Dossi- jbilit) of impurities reaching the neart. An operation somewhat simi lar to this one was performed, it is Said, a short time ugo at the eye and car hospital on Livingston street. r Cats Husband Off with Ptre Dollars. Mrs. Harriett B.
