NEW CANCEH HOSPITAL.
To Be Founded for Women Patients Who
Are Incurable.
Impressed by tha terrible Bufferings of cancer
BSBSBta who -•? at their command every mean*
of relief knows to art and science, and by the
Kill more deplorable condition of the destitute
(•'asses, wlta no means of alleviating their suffer
ings, some well known men and women of the city
have decided to establish a hospital for the treat
ment of incurable cancer patients. The project has
been approved by the co-nmlssioners of the. State
Board of Charities, and proceedings for the incor
poration of the institution are already ur.der way.
They adD be ccmpl-rted as soon as the enm of
110,000 can be raised.
As cancer Is a disease which occurs more fre
«;3»ntly la women than la met. the proposed in
etltution will be a hospital for women. It will be
known as the Falrhaven Sanatorium, and it Is
hoped that the cane may be justified and that it
may prove a beautiful haven of rest for these
weary ruSerers at the end of the voyage of life.
There is *.t the present time only one hospital Jr.
Scw-York which admits incurable cancer patients.
Thia is the Mostiftore Hospital for the treatment of
s.!i incurable diseases. The general hospitals ad
mit cancer patients for operation only, and the
length of tima that any such patient can remain
is aecessarUy limited. For inoperable cases occur
rirsr either among the destitute classes or among
lbs well 111 1 do almcEt to provision is made.
la this respect New-York is far behind the cities
of tie European Contb Tliers the hospitals set
aaact wards for the trsatniint of incurable cancer
PaU?zts, and In London the ward which was opened
In the Middlesex Hospital 110 years ajc-o has grown
bto a wlus with forty beds for women ar.i nine
for men.
"The conditions In Xew-Tork with reference to
tne treatment cf jjar.c^-r patients." said one of the
isasryrers of the £ airbaven Sanatorium, yesterday,
'are an anomaly, arid it is high time they were al
tered The two scourges which —.ace the human
race to-day are tuberculosis and cancer. The for
t;er has beta cared for in tii« vast system of sana
toria which has been opened ai) over the country.
How Is it that New-York, so justly noted for Its
|UglU£ philanthropies, has wholly overlooked
tie most terrible class of sufferers? That it ehould
[■>'■&-- neglect them ifter the attention of the pub
yUe bu been called to the facts is inconceivable.
'The benefits which will arise from a properly
•SClppetJ cancer hospital will not be conn 10
the individuals who will be treated there. A eec
«no iir.d greater benefit will accrue to the commu-
My at large through the opportunities which will

WHY SO MANY BABIES DIE.
Improper Methods of Feeding the Cause,
Says Health Department.
An Investigation by the Health Department as
to the cause of the illness In infants who died
from diarrhceal diseases in the Borough of Man
hattan during the month of July has shown that
the careless and improper methods of preparing
food, together with the character of the. food used,
have been In many instances tho chief causative
factor.
The following rules, the depart rriPri*. says, should
be followed by ill mothers:
First— Nurse the baby and nurse it regularly
about ever three hours. If you cannot nurse the
baby, consult your own physician or send to the
Department of Health for a physician.
Second— Do not give the baby condensed milk.
"Twenty-seven per cent of the babies who died
during July were fed on condar.sed milk," although
only about 7 per cent of all babies in Manhattan
are fed on condensed milk. In other words, there
are four times as many deaths of babies fed on
condensed milk as there are of babies who are
breast fed or l>d on modified sterilized milk.
Third— Never us<* the loosa milk sold In grocery
storts as "food for ti.^. baby."
Fourth— Never giva the baby raw milk in warm
weather: milk must always be- sterilized and pre
pared m direct»d by the Department of Health
or by private physician!'. Thesfi directions or a
pbyaielan or nurse will be sent on request to any
ess . ,„
F;ftn— Use ci:U - bottled, pure, fresh milk, prop
erly prepared «;id Bteriilzed. inJ feed the • by at
rerular intervals— about every two and a half or
three hours If you nave reason to suspect that
the milk is Impure or adultei.ued or improperly
iced or handled, notify the Department of Health.

SOME "STAB 11 RECIPES.
Favorite and Delicious Dishes Made by
Well Known Actora.
Most men think they could run a house better
than the mistress thereof. Just as most men are
cure they could edit their dally paper better than
the editor. It was. therefore, quite appropriate
that "Good Housekeeping" should give man a
chance to air his opinions and discoveries In an
Issue devoted entirely to himself, as Is ths Septem
ber number of that magazine. Written entirely
by men. It Is decidedly Interesting:, and not a lit
tla amusing in spot 3. Favorite recipes of "star"
cooks, for instance, consist of recipes contributed
by such men as William H. Crane. David Belasco.
Henry Miller, Arnold Daly and Robert Edeson.
Appropriately enough. Mr. Crane's contribution
takes the form of a David Ha rum pot roast; Mr.
Belaseo has singled out a ealml of goose, and Mr.
Miller finnan huddle- and fried peppers. Arnold
Daly writes a characteristic little essay before
presenting what ha terms a "Candida" recipe.
Here it la: "My favorite recipe for a hot bite
after the performance is to mix three tablespoon
fuls of grated cheese, one tablespoonful of butter
and then 6it't in somo onion finely chopped, and
sprinkle with paprika and salt, and pour it all Into
the chafing dish, which should be hot. and then
stir It until the cheese is melted. Then I pour in
six eggs and stir until they are cooked. This,
served on toast, makes an after-theatre dish which
has won me th« envy of some of my fairest friends
and a good many nuisances among the fellows, for
somehow actors never seem to have enough of
anything." t _
Crab mcnt and mushrooms. Mr. Edeson s order
ing, La somewhat more pretentious. "Take two
cupfulJ of crab meat, cut into dice." he instructs
"and half a canfu' of mushrooms, cut Into dice of
the Mine size. Mak* a sauce of two tablespoon
fuis of butter and one heaping tablespoonful or
flour, stirred until smooth. Mix the crab meat and
mushrooms well together, season with paprika,
salt ■ and a dash or onion juice. Turn Into the
smoking sauce, cook three minutes, then remove
from the flam*. Add quickly three tablespoon
ftils of cream, heated with a pinch of soda, set
over the flame lor a minute, add a glassful or
sherry and serve hot." ,

LITTLE FOLKS TO HAVE THEIR DAY.
"l^tional Children's Day" Being Arranged
for at the World's Fair.
St. Louis. Aug. 13.-The success of the several
"Children's Days." when crowds of youngsters ap
parently so thoroughly enjoyed themselvea at the
exposition, has given the officials a standard that
Is of great B=bl.f<iar.ce la arranging for a "National
Children's Day," which will be observed on August
B. Every effort Is being put forth to eliminate
all hackneyed feature* from the day programme,
and have "the main events of more than ordinary
Interest to children.
Cm "National Children's Day" the exposition
gates will be open for the free admittance of every
child In the United States under fifteen years of
age. The Jefferson Guards will be Instructed to
especially look after children on that day, and. It
Is announced, not only will special entertainment
be provided, but special measures will be taken to
insure protection in every way to the children.
Recognizing UM fact that parents probably will
not bo able In every case to accompany their chil
dren, the exposition management makes the pro
vision that five children, accompanied by on« adult,
will be admitted free.
Arrangements are now being made with the rail
roads to secure low rates from all parts of the
country, in order that children generally may
have opportunity to visit the exposition Just be
fore beginning the coming school term.
Tho National Commission and the Board of Lady
Manager* have taken a great Interest In the proj
ect, and member* of both bodies are assisting In
arranging tho special features.
Director of Exhibits Skiff to-day said:
The exposition will cimply be turned oval to the
children on August 20. Children are not destructive,
and do not back und cut for the purpose of se
curing souvenirs, and the World's Fair officials
desiro the children of the country to feel that that
is distinctly their day, and they are to enjoy it in
thrir own way to the fullest extent.
"Prices to attractions within the grounds will be
reduced to children on 'National Children's Day. ••
•aid Secretary W. B. Stevens. "Nothing will be
left undone to Insure the little folk a good time."
OPPORTUNITY AWAITS HER.
There is an opening for a capable young woman
in every country town, says "Harper's Bazar."
There Is an enormous unworked field In the com
bined profession of catering and fine cooking. Once
upon a time In our villages women personally su
perintended their family baking and were proud to
l>^ known as "famous cooks." That day Is gor.e,
and with it much of the delicious food that few ser
vants save chefs can attempt, wnile much of the
entertaining that was wont to provide a "groaning
table" of good things for the obsolete tea party,
has been superseded by the wafer and cup of
bouillon of an afternoon tea. Many women would
still be more hospitable If In their country homes
hospitality did not Imply disorganization and dis
comfort extending from the kitchen on throughout
the house. A moderate priced caterer, who could
take entire charge of the function, would be a boon
to them. Our villages are supplied with bakeries
plenty of them, but the product is usually poor.
The best cakes, pa«try and breads, furnished at
reasonable prices, would find a market ready for
them, while order* for salads and Ices might b*
taken, and if well filled would be oftten repeated.
ANOTHER OCCUPATION.
It has been sail that a new profession, that of
the "welfare manager." has sprung Into being, In
tho supervision of work for the welfare of em
ployes, in large establishments. of the qualifica
tions and duties of thia occupation. Miss Gertrude
Becks, who has devoted two years to its pursuit,
in an establishment of more than 15.000 employes.
says In "The Monthly Review" of the National
Civic Federation, of wnose welfare department she
is secretary:
"A general rule for all welfare work In targe
concerns Is that its successful conduct requires tho
employment of a welfare manager. This manager
should not only possess tact, executive, ability, com
mon sense, acquaintance with local Jealousies and
sometimes wit.i racial prejudices, but a knowledge
of Industrial subjects. He muni recognize and la
no way interfere with :he authority of the superin
tendents, who are responsible tor the successful
operation of their departments, the administration
of labor, and th« maintaining of discipline. Ha
must gain In advance their full approval of each
f-ifort. and use every proper method to enlist their
full co-operation. He must have the patience to
endure the slow realization of his plans. In tlm*
it will become evident that they are for the benefit
of all of the employer and of the executive chiefs
as we'll as of the mass of employes.
"Many employers would Introduce welfare work
Into their establishments were It not for the time
and trouble needed for Us organization. The em
ployment of a welfare manager remove* thla ob
stacle. Successful prosecution of welfare work re
quires concentration of responsibility. All of It*
branches muat be under the supervision of one per
son or efforts in different directions may conflict.
or special and, perhaps, pressing needs may escape
attention. Pressure of daily business routine usu
ally relegates welfare work to the last considera
tion. This is another reason why In large establish
ments It should receive the tire time and atten
tion of one person. Welfare work hue sometimes
been started enthusiastically, but has afterward
failed because there was no one person to keep
its operation active and apace with dally needs.
CORN PODDING.
This la a nice way of serving green corn: Scrajo.
half a dozen cars of corn from the cobs. Beat
two eggs together, add half a teaspoonfui of salt,
one and a half cupfuls of milk, one or two taou/
spoonfuls of sugar. Put la a buttered, picturesque,
earthen puddlcc di;h and bako two hours. Serve
hot as a vegetable in the dish in which It was
baked. When the corn is old It will need one
Pint of milk, but when young and mil«cy a cupful
Is generally sufficient.

MAY AFFECT PRICE OF BREAD.
"Almost thou persuades>t me to make my own
bread." was what one woman said when she- saw
by her t'r.liy morning's Tribune that the price
of flour had gone uy another 30 cents a barrel.
It does not 6eem. however, that there Is any
Immediate cause for alarm on the part of the
housewives of Manhattan, or of a relapse to the
art of domestic bread making. Although some of
the retail bakers havo added 1 cent a loaf to th«
price of their bread and 2 cents a dozen to th»
price of rolls, tho wholesale bakers are as yet un
affected by tha advance in price of flour.
it was reported that Fletschmana had Increased
the prices of his bread and rolia by the addition of
I and « cenis. respecilvalyi but a representative
of the firm declined either to «£rm or del tho
rumor yesterday.
There Is. however, a dead line, so to speak, in
the price of flour, according to Charles E. Aboott.
of Eigbth-ave.. and when or if that is reached th>3
bakers must act accordingly.
"Within six weeks eaid Mr. Abbott, "flour has
risen $1 a barrel That is bound to make a con
siderable difference i:i the proms on a barrel, and
If flour continues to ris-j we shall have to maki a
corresponding rise in the price of bread. When
flour stands at between {.3 and to a barre' the
baker can make a reasonable margin of profit or.
the old pricts, but when it soar 3to to a bar- the
safety lino, or dead line, has .... It
Is now at/out $6 75."
J. Wall & Co., th^ Pursse!! Manufacturing Com
pany and CiLshman were also not : ' *ed to
retard the outlook as serious, They had not
raised tho price of their bread product?, they paid,
and were not proposing to do bo. At Cushtr.ari'.i
the opinion was expressed that tha advance in flour
woula not continue. _

MISSIONARY WORK IS THE ISLAND OF PORTO RICO
DISCUSSED BY THE REV. DR. F. P. IVOODBURY.
One of the new • t fields to be entered by th*
Froteatant bodies of the United States is the Island
of Porto Rico, a land which had hitherto been given
up wholly to the Roman Catholic Church. At
the present time tee Episcopalians have one school
on the island, with two teachers and eighty pu
pils; the Presbyterians .lave four schools, twelve
teachers a:. 000 pupils, and tae Congregationalisms
three schools, ten teachers and 3W pupils. The
Rev. Dr. Frank P. Woodbury. secretary of the
American Missionary Association, has charge of
•the Porto Rica:', mission work for the Congrega
tional denomination, and he had this to say yes
terday concerning the work on the island and the
conditions under which it is carried or.:
Forto Rico has a population of about 5oO,C"0. Th«
people ire a composite race. Almost 10MOO are of
Spanish liner, ice. One half of the remainder are
"i Spanish ana I-nUiun ancestry and the other half
are descendants of Spaniards and negroes. Tha
Roman Catholic was th« old State religion; and
the people wen found, in the American occupancy,
to be in a 1 :tlon of dense ignorance, UM Ulit
eracy reaching the appalling figure of S3 per cent
of the entire population, lesa than ene-afu of the
families b*>lnc united in lawful marriage. Protes
tant missionary work has been carried on there for
about live ie.'rs, and with remarkable success.
Already over torty churches have been established,
with nearly 3,0<» members. The American Ml*
sionary Association began Its service early, and
has burchea in Humaeao. Fajardo. Lares and
Juncos, and missions at Luqulllo. Las Cabezas.

Oriente. and at other points. Its schools are at
San Juan. Lares and Fajardo. Its main work Is in
the eastern part of the bland. The Episcopalians
have churches at San Juan and Ponce, with three
missions. The Methodists report ten churches: tha
Baptists twelve: the Presbyterians, nine, and the
United Brethren and the Disciples, three each.
Most of the Protestant missions also include school
work. The American Missionary Association has
' been carrvlng on four schools, the Baptists two,
and the Presbyterians four. The government
: schools are now so well developed that tii-re Is
less need of educational work by the churches.
The Protestant missionary societies are in full
concord, and do not Interfere with pne another.

: far in th« diffusion of Protestant Christianity.

enough to show corns one outside that the win*
dow was open.
"That's better." said Walker: and he went to
the faro table and laid down a dollar.
"I don't set between him and the window.**
said Davies; "not much I don't. Three tltuea
this month I've seen young Jeff ridln* alone to
town at sundown, and If he gives Walker a
chance he's a fooL If I was a boy and had th»
same against Walker I'd say, "Look out. Windy!*
when he was dead."
But the room was crowded, and the play went
on. Davies didn't play; his nerves were on the)
stretch. Something seemed to tell him that
Walker's time was coming; he felt as some do
when thunder is brewing in a great and heavy
calm. And suddenly he went curiously white.
"Thai blind's higher than 1* was." he said. But
no one else saw It. They faced the tables; the>
talk of the faro dealer went on; a lucky can
cried "keno!" they swore and cursed and drank.
And then Davies saw fingers a: the blind cord—*
only fingers. The blind went up three inches.
He drew back still further, and stood against
the wall with an extinguished cigar between his)
teeth and his cow hat over his eyes. Ha looked
at Walker, who was In a crowd.
"Darn my luck." sail Walker; "that's IS."
He made a motion to get out of those who
stood with him. and Bill Davie3 almost called
out to him.
"It's not my funeral." he said grimly. as he re
strained himself. And he looked again at the
window. On the sill close to tha corner ha saw
something move a little.
"That lets me out.*" said Walker, cursing' as he
stepped back clear of his companions. And aa
he did so there was a deafening report. Bill
saw flame leap from the muzzle of a gun. and
Walker threw up bis hands and gasped horri
bly. Then he pitched upon the floor and toy
there. A dozen men had their "guns" In that*
hands at the sound.
"By r said one of them, "that was from
the winder."
One '.an. quicker than the rest, put up his)
hand, pulled the string of the lamp, and the)
room was In darkness. BUI Daviea jumped to
the window and through it. and came upon Jeff
Dexter with his shotgun in his hand. The boy
was crying dreadfully. Before they could speak.
other men followed Davies. and some came)
round the hones from the front.
"It's Jen* Dexter has done it." said Bill.
There was a curious gasp of relief from those)
who stood by him and Jeff. Old Simon Keats
was the first to speak.
"Boys, ho had a right to." he said. "Walker
killed his dad. And he's a boy. He had no call
to speak to Windy first, under tha circum
stances."
But Jeff still sot>bei\
"Wbat'U we do, boys?" ask«d Bill Davies.
"We'll save the hoy trouble." said Keats. "It's
allowed young Jeff, ain't done no harm in twins
Windy?"
"That's so." saul the bysiar.ders.
"Th?n fend him back to Virginia to bis sister.**
said Keats. "There's the ea«t I x>und express duet
in less'n twenty minutes. Will yon go. bud?"
"Of course he'll go.'" saii Davies. "Her you
any money, J'.-ttV"
Je.'f had none on him. A : ten men offered
him bills and silver.
"Arul I'M buy you out. stork and > .'.. Jeff."
said cM Keats, "at a price that all here will .
say Is f«tr."
"Hear: hear!" raid the crowd.
"Arid what's more. Til sro with you to Fort
Worth." said Ke.itr. "Cuniu aionsr. sonny,
there's r.o time to lose."
They walked lowari! tha railroad depot.
"One of us '11 go to the city marshal ar.d say
Windy's gone up the flume." said Sam the bar
tender. "And we'll drop i .hint the boy has
rode back to his ranch."
And as they walked, Jeff hold BUI Da.vies"a
hand and trembled violently,
"Mr. Keat3. I'd like to give Bill my dorr" Bos
and my old ptrto pony," he said. "Will you
tafc* them. BUI?"
"To be sure." said Bill.
"The pinto' 3 tied to ■ mesqulte t'other side of
Wolf Crick." said Jeff. "He's a mighty good
pony for slow work."
-"I'll not hustle him." said BUI And they
reached the depot just as the eastoonnd express)
came In.
"Ruck up." sail Bill; "you done right. Jeff./*
"Did I?" asked Jeff.
"Sure miff." said BilL "W!ndy*s dead."
