You men and After Your Child’s Bath You Should Use Nothing But jth because nurses and mothers have learned after twenty years’ experience that its habitual use after the bath keeps children’s skin free from irri- tation and soreners, It is agreeable to the most delicate skin, and is the only powder that should be used every day on infants and children, as a great deal of skin soreness is caused by the use of highly perfumed ‘ders. Mother's own toilet powder is not adapted to the delicate skin of a child, while Comfort Powder is especially made for children, Sykes’ Comfort Powder is not a plain taleum powder, but a highly medicated preparation, which if used daily will keep achild’s skin smooth, Healthy, free from odors, chafing, itching and all irritation, At Dy Dep't Ste THE COMFORT POWDER CO.

The Health Department, as part of the clean-up campaign, to-day sent out twelve nurses to investigate sani- | tary conditions in Manhattan and | Brooklyn, The Manhattan nurses wore ordered to cover the territory bounded by Grand, Houston, Colum- bia and Prince Streets, and to com- pile reports on the number of chil- | dren under five years of age living there, the number of dogs and cats, | and to find out whether homes are | feasted with rats or mice, This is b ing done with the idea of trying to trace the paralysis germ. The territory which the Brooklyn nurses are covering is bounded by Irving Avenue, Central Avenue, De- Kalb Avenue and Himrod Btreet. Official of tho Health Depart- ment were investigating two new theories regarding, the epidemic to- day. One was that the acourke was brought here from Central America. Dr. Charles F. Belduan, head of the Bureau of Public Health Education, to-day received a Jetter from a phy- siclan in San Salvador, Central America, who stated that an epi-, demic of infantile paralysis had been raging there since May, and that his ten-months-old son was sut- | fering from the disease, PIGS AND BUZZARDS AFFECTED BY DISEASE THER The writer, who has been prac- ticing medicine in San Salvador for twenty years, says that in all that time he had known of only four cases PURE CANNED FooDs Just What You Want This Hot Weather Requires little or no cooking to serve.
