Bachman, aged 50, of Nazareth, Pa., one of the original promoters of cement mills in this country, was found dead from gas asphyxiation in his room at an apartment house here yesterday. He was seated by a fire place with the gas turned on. The discovery of Bachman’s body followed closely the sale today by the sheriff of Northampton County of. the Atlantic Portland Cement Mill at Stockertown, in which he was said to have invested more than half a million dollars. His wife and daughter reside at Berkeley, Calif., where he ecrected a number of mills. On Jan. 19 Bachman was arrested at Easton, on a charge of conspiracy to kidnap Donald Roth, the four year old son of Warren E. Roth of Na- zareth, and at the same time papers ‘were served on him in a $25,000 al- ienation suit brought by Roth, who | declared that Bachman was respon | sible for the disappearance of hi wife from her home on Jan. 8.

Attorney Noble heirs of Patrick Coughlin thought the uppeal of Charles F. Conlon from the aceeplance of the accounting of the administrator by the probate court of Bristol automatically vacated by reason of his failure to file notice with the su- perior court during the time provided by are very much mistaken and ‘the case.will be taken up for probably next. month. Attorney Pierce is associated with Judge W. F. Man- in representing Mr. Conlon and other relatives of the eccentric bach- elor who were dicpleased with the ac- tion -of James Gr: the administrator, in paying certain claims presented by Mr. and Mrs. William Coughlin, But $20,000 of the dead man's wealth has been. distributed and some of the heirs for the past few days had been anticipating a complete settle- ment of the estate in the near future, believing that there would be no fur- ther litigaticn. They reported that ttorney 'Pierce had admitted to the administrator that notice had not been filed with the thirty day and consequently Mr. Conlon’s suit could not come up for trial. The lawyer, they declared had requested the adminis- trator to permit of a re-opening of the case but the latter refused. The Bristol lawyer now comes for- with the statement that the status of the appeal is not as repre- sented by some of the heirs. He ar- gues that he filed reasons for the ap- peal on Wednesday, getting within the time limit prescribed hy law.. The ap- peal was not made returnable, he con- tends, until the first Tuesday in Feb- ruary instead of the first Tuesday in January as some of the hei i and as a result there will be no diffi- culty in getting it assigned for trial. Mr. Pierce claims he was called in to work on the case with Judge Mangan. The Conlon appeal concerns the payment of bills presented by Mr. and Mrs. Coughlin for caring for their un- cle prior to death and for trouble and expense they were put to in having the funeral held from their home. Judge Newell accepted the adminis- trator’s report, despite vigorous oppo- sition made by Mr. Conlon and notice of an appeal was then given. The Coughlins declare they will not settle but will permit the appeal to go to trial. They declare their claims were justifiable and that they could have asked for a large ramount with- out being unreasonable had they cared to do so.

Washington, Ieb. 12.—In this series of articles we have been dealing with the early life of a baby, after birth; we have not considered the equally im- portant care of the baby in the months | of his lifc before birth. The necessity for this care is apparent from the fact that statistics show that many thou- sands of babics die every year in the early days of life either because they were born prematurely, or because they were born too weak to survive. A large number of them lose their because the mothers did not have the proper care before they were horn, or at the time of childbirth. Every wo- man expecting a baby should have such care as will resuit in the birth of healthy and happy baby. A prospective mother needs a light, nutritious diet of digestible foods, such as she likes and her appetite demands.

S. Department of Laber, Washington, D. C. Throughout this stage of pregnancy the mother should as far as possible be spared all forms of heavy and tax- ing labor, in order that her strength may be built up in antcipation of the coming demand upon it. The baby's proper development also depends larzely upon the mother's condition at this time, since the baby gains half his weight in the last eight weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, if he is to be born strong and healthy, it is most im- portant that the mother have plenty of good food, and be spared undue work and worry through this crucial period.
