Paltrowits, the former Prince: | ton.student and son of a wealthy Bal- timore importer, and Barbara Acker+ man Paltrowitz, his bride of less than & month, who joined with her young husband y on « ljoining cots in the Englewood (N. J.) Hospital, their hands clasped across the jets, awaiting the answer to the riddle of life. They swallowed bichloride of mercury. The action of the poison is slow, and the svlution of the riddie for John Paltro- ‘wits and his girl wife may be conse quently, long delayed. Their condition is reported at the hom Pita! to-day as being “just the same.” Both the young man and the girl by hie 1a as they lle su- » Kk in whispers of the'things that might have been and the, things that may be. MISCEGENATION CAUSE OF ALL THE TROUBLE. @ince they were taken to the hospital from the home of Dr. MacKellar, in ‘Teaneck, N. J., whither they had walked hand in hand after drink'n¢ the polson, dissolved in grape julce, at the East Clinton avenue bridge in that town, they ve told the story of their desperation Se the physic street, Brooklyn, the sister of the girl bride.

Paitrowitz ls the son of an ortho- dox Hebrew father—a man stern in the pride of race, Little Barbara Ack- n the He- girl the father considered his one dead, cut him off from all support and threatened that if there was a way in law the marriage would be annulled. It the fear of the lovers that thie threat of annulment would be put into action as much the desperation of the young husband over his inability to support his wife without the father's assistance that drove them to drink the poisonous draught yesterday. About six months ago young Paltro- wits was forced to abandon his etudies at Princeton because of trouble with hie eyes. During the time h at college and after he quit ceived a generous allowance from his father, having each week a check upon the Merchants’ Trust Company of Jer- say City. He came to New York and spent much of his time at Coney Island, Bar- t@ra Ackerman. ‘They quickly fell in love with each other. The girl brought the young man to call upon her sister, Mra. Metz, and was considered acceptable in his at- tentions upon the young girl. He asked Barbara to marry him and ehe accepted nim. FEARED FATHER’S WRATH ON RELIGIOUS LINES. Mrs. Mets often overheard them talk- img @dout the one great difficulty Pa: ‘the father’s opposition because of the! Aifference in religious beliefs. Time and again the eubdject came up between them, and they eagerly read in th papers instances where mixed marriages had won, at last, parental forgivensas. Finally, on June 17, Paltrowits called at the Mets home and took Barbara Askerman away with him to be mar- ried. They were wed by the tor of Bt, Mark's Church in Manhattan, and went to the Hotel McAlpin, where the groom had been living. The remittance frem Baltimore did not come that week. Paltrowits believed his father had al- ready learneé of the marriage throug! shadowing detectives. He wrote to his father, telling him of his marriage with the Christian girl and begging his for- qiveness.

Josephine Baker, Chief of the Division of Child Hygiene of the Board of Health, tells mothers to-day some useful things about the proper way to Gress their babies, ‘Having learned how to feed your baby right," she say3, “one of the most important things for you to know’ ts how to dress him. A Breat deal of harm can be done by ing the baby too much—by that I mean putting too much clothing om him and having it too tight. “A great many mothers keep their ables too warm; they are too much afraid the little one will catch cold. Remember, baby !s a warm little body; warmer than olé people and feels the heat much more. “In hot weather, then, you cannot be too careful not to have too much cloth- ing on him. ‘There is much more chance of his being overheated than of his catching cold. At too much clothing makes him ri “Besides, you must dress him right you want him to get fresh alr enot Don't think you have given him enoug fresh air by simply letting him breathe {t into his lunge; his whole body needs ft, You should dres# tim, as much as possible, so that every bit of his tender skin should have a chance to breathe. “More than that, tight clothing keeps baby's lunge from acting freely and hin- ders the movement of his blood, That m that no matter how well you feed him his food does not get a chance to build up the little body, and he will ow thin and weak and stunted, For baby to have rich blood he must have good air in his lungs as well as good food in his stomach, Rich blood to Firet Better Babi road, Brooklya.
