Doerfler, in the "Muencbener Medicinische Wochcnsehrift," discuss es the use of butter in the constipation of infants and children. Acting upon the theory that thi torpidity of the In testine in such cases is caused by exces sive feeding, and is not a disease, he uses the butter as a mechanical lax ative. He names as the advantages that children never refuse it, and that pallid cheeks grow rosy under its use. It has little effect after six years of age. From one-half to one teasioonful is given to a child up to three months of uge, and when regular ltowel action Is established, It is then used only every second or third day. A child of five months to a year should have one to three tablespoonfuls per day. The butr ter must be sweet and fresh, and it Is Important that It Is not melted, since this changes its character.-Jtyjular Sci ence Newi. MIDDLEBURG Jl, SNYDKU COUNTY, PEN.NA.

Waal Water Works. Mllheim's tow n council met in extra session Monday of last week and pass ed resolutions to submit at the regular election in November the proposition of increasing the borough's Indebted ness 110,000 to be used for waterworks. The question is not a new one in Mil helmforat asj ial election on Mon day, September 12, lsns, it was defeat ed by BbOUt fifteen votes. It is the in tention of the advocates of the water system to bring the water from Phillips creek, When a good supply of excellent mountain water can lie procured, and where a reservoir can be built at a very low cost. Heretofore that town de pended entirely on the Weill and cis terns for their supply, which often wan a source for contagion.
