The bill creating the office of pub- lic defender was amended on the mo- tion of Senator Hunt and as amended passed. The bill as passed, is as fol- lows: Section 1. The judge of the super- for court at their annual meeting in June, or any judge thereof, designated to hold any criminal term of said court, at least thirty days prior to the opening of such. term, shall appoint an attorney-at-law, of at least five Save the Babies JNFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save many of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and sooth- ing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. Inany quantity, they stupify, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. There can be no dange in the use of Castoria if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher as it contains no opiates or narcotics of any kind.
