SWEETHEART TELLS STORY

Simonoff's Wife Would Not JoinHim, and He Became In-

fatuated with Girl

She declares the persons who take thatas an allan of Rlmonoff's aro wrong?.

Not comprehending what was thereason for slmonolt'B telegram, but stillloving htm with heart and soul, sln>said. Miss Danlele went to the Los An-gelea pollre station and asked whatcourse to pursue and where to send atelegram in response. She was told totelegraph to him In care of the sheriffat Lanmr, and she did so, requestinghim to write her a letter and to tollher his correct address. Then sho satdown and wrote a four-page letter tohim, tolling him that she never wouldforget him, that she loved him alone,that no matter what his troubles wereto. come back to her, and that if hokilled himself she would do the same.

"I did not Intend to kill myself," ad-mitted Miss Daniole yesterday, "but Iknew it would make him feel good t<>have me send that message. I toldhim that if we had to wait a year anda day or two years or three years Istill would wait, because I love him,and I told him that he is the only onein the world I can love."

TRUE TO BIMONOFFMiss Danlele declared her bellof that

some one told Slmonoff that she doesnot love him any more, and that thataccounts for his attempts at trying tokill himself at Lamar.

"Oh, I love him so," sighed MissDaniele again. "I want him to comebark and marry me, even If I have to

\u25a0wait. He is so good to me and ho hassuch a good position. I hope he willbo all well again soon and come back."

Slmonoff's little shop in Broadway isvery silent now that the mastor isaway. N«ie of his little force of work-ers is there, with the exception of hisrloßcst male friend, "William Green,

who came from St. Petersburg a fewyears ago, and who is on guard for

the trousers-maker. He declares thatKimonoff had no reason for trying to

kill himsolf, so far as he knows. Hobelieves the tailor was in no great

need of money, and If it wore a loveaffair which prompted htm to attempt

suicide, he (Green) knows nothing of it.Whether Mr*. Slmonoff met her hus-

band at Reno, as his friend and gwaet-heart say ftl the belief, Is not knownin Los Angeles. If she did not, or ifthey could not agree about a divorce,

it is presumed Slmonoff's despair ledhim to try to take his life, for accord-ing to dispatches from Uraar he wasarrested while Qeelnc from imaginarypersecutors at Granada, Colo., after hehad cut the arteries of his left wristwith his watch crystal.

Later he was taken to the Insaneasylum at Pueblo, where he Is saidto have drunk a quart and a half of,

turpentine, tried to open more arterieswith the jagged edgo of a tin plate,and attempted to cut his throat with arazor which he obtained by pretendinghe wanted to shave himself.

MRS. VANE P. CHASE,WHOSE WEDDING WASCELEBRATED MONDAY

Music NotesAt the Levy cafe chantant this week

the program Is a good one, as eachentertainer presents new songs.

Grace Belmont succeeds in siningBartlett's "A Bream," and displays anability for phrasing, clear enuncia-tion and Interpretative ability thatwould do Justice to a much more ex-perienced artist. This was the firstglimpse she has afforded of her ver-satility.

The Countess Rossi is again thecenter of attraction from her first en-trance to final exit. She dresses withmuch chic and on every appearanseis greeted with applause. Her voice, inits clear crystalline quality, Is wellcontrolled. "Carlsslma" she sangwith a fervor and dash ofrhythm thatIs not often given it, while in her "Inthe Garden of My Heart" quaint twistshe gives the English made It veryInteresting.

Madge Maintland and Bob Albrightboth excel In popular coon rag melo-dies and their work Is as absolutelydifferent as If they were presentingentirely opposite phases of singing.Miss Maltland Is ever on the movefrom her entrance to exit, getting themaximum effect out of the minimumeffort. Albright sings a little with theorchestra, sometimes plays for him-self, talks stories, yodles and leavesone with the idea that It was entirelyeffortless on his part. The bill Is allgood, some of the Kammermeyer se-lections being especially well rendered.

FRANCE LKADB WAT

In spite of its up-to-dateness in othermatters, our own country as a wholehas been somewhat slow in realizing,that since the babies of this generationare the material out of which the citi-zens of tomorrow are made, it Js com-mon sense economy to see that theyhave a. fair chance to grow to healthymaturity. In the movements now be-coming world-wide France has the dis-tinction of having led the way. Thename which stands out most promi-nently on *he French roll of honor inthis connection is that of Dr. Budin,the leader in the plan for the conser-vation of the health of the babiesthrough the education of the mothers.Dr. Budln's "Consultations" estab-lished In 1890 In connection with hisclinic at Nancy, and In 1892 in connec-tion with the Charite hospital at Paris,to which the mothers brought theirbabies for weekly inspection and ad-vice, were the forerunners of the con-sultations now to be found whereverthere Is carefully organized work forthe babies.

Asked one day to define the essen-tials of a successful consultation, Dr.Budin replied "the services of a devot-

tphysician and a pair of scales." Inown country, and in practically all

ers In which the French idea hastaken root, the trained nurse has beenadded to the list of essentials. Sincethe weight of the baby Is such an im-portant index to his physical condi-tion, it is easy to understand why thescales figure so prominently In the

luipment.DISPENSE PURE MU.Kfollowing the establishment of theonsultatlon" came the organizationout two years later by Dr. Variot at

Paris, and Dr. Dufour at Fecamp, ofwhat they call In France the "Gouttede L#.it" or "Drop of Milk," and which jIs known in this country as th 6"Babies' Milk Dispensary," or the "In-fants' Milk Depot." Instruction of themothers in infant hygiene and infantfeeding is an important feature of themilk depot, but along with It milk suit-able for the use of the baby is soldat a low cost, or, if necessary, is dis-pensed without chargre for the babieswho have to depend upon artificialfeeding.

Within a short time after the firstGoutte de Lait had been opened InFrance the idea had spread to othercountries. England sent some of herhealth officers across the channel tostudy the methods in vogue there, andmilk dispensaries were soon establishedin the British Isles. One of the firstundertakings of the sort in this coun-try was opened by Dr. Henry Koplikin New York city in 1889, and in 1893Nathan Strauss established the first ofhis depots for the distribution of pas-teurized milk. For several years theNew York milk committee of the Asso-ciation for Improving the Condition ofthe Poor has conducted consultationsfor mothers and has carried on an im-portant campaign of education as apart of the work at the milk depots.During the present summer forty-ninemilk dispensaries have been In opera-tion In Greater New York, under the Iauspices of various philanthropies.

IiOWEK DEATH RATEDr. George W. Goler, head of the de- I

partment of health of Rochester, N. V.,pioneered the movement among healthofficers In this country, and theRochester milk depots were the firstmunicipal milk depots in the UnitedStates. In the first ten years of theirexistence the summer death rate forthat city of children under five years Iof age was cut down BO per cent.

Other cities have adopted the consul-tation and the milk dispensary as ameans of reducing their infantile deathrate, and according to the latest sta-tics reported by the United States pub-lic health and marine hospital service,milk depots are operated in aboutthirty cities in the United States. Onlya few are conducted under the auspicesof local health departments; the ma-jority are supported by private philan-thropy.

In spite of the fact that the majorityof the children who are supplied withmilk from the dispensary are sick whenfirst carried to the milk depots, inpractlcaly every instance, the estab-lishment of the milk depots has beenfollowed by a reduction In the infantdeath rate. The Babies' Milk Dispen-sary of Baltimore, which was estab-lished by the Thomas Wilson Sani-tarium for Children in 1900, and whichhas been conducted since 1907 by theBabies' Milk Fund association, reports

that the death rate among the babiessupplied with milk by the associationand looked after by the nursea is BO

per .cent less than the general deathrate among babies throughout the city.

The Boston Milk and Baby Hygieneassociation cared for about one-tenthof the Boston baby population lastsummer, and points with pride to thefact that the death rate during theworst months of the year was nearly33 1-3 per cent lower among thosebabies than among the other nine-tenths not reached by the milk sta-tions.

MILK DEPOTS LEGION

The number of infants' milk depotsin other parts of the world is legion.There are more than a hundred in theFrench provinces. They are to befound in every corner of the universe,from Antwerp and St. Petersburg inthe north of Europe to Algiers in Af-rica on the other side of the hemis-phere and from Toronto to BuenosAyres on this side of the globe.

Spurred to the study of means ofpreventing infant mortality by a de-clining birth rate and a very heavydeath rate, France was not only theleader In undertakings designed to re-duce the infant death rate, but wasthe first country to call an interna-tional conference on the subject. TheFrench congress was held in 1905, andtwo years later the international or-ganization met in Brussels. The thirdInternational Congress on Preventionof Infant Mortality will be held inSeptember, 1811, in Berlin, under thepatronage of the German empress. Onthe invitation of the secretary generalof the Berlin congress the AmericanAssociation for Study and Preventionof Infant Mortality will arrange forthe adequate representation of Ameri-can undertakings.

England, like Germany, has taken upthe subject with characteristic thor-oughness. A year after the Frenchcongress had attracted the attention offoreign governments to methods em-ployed in France a national conferencewas held in London under the patron-age of the king and queen. A secondconference, also under royal patronage,took place in 1908. The first conferencuof the sort in this country was heldlast November at Yale university bythe American Academy of Medicine,

and the American Association forStudy and Prevention of Infant Mor-tality was organized as a result of thismeeting. The association has estab-lished headquarters in Baltimore, fromwhich its campaign of education hasbeen directed.

Sir.MMXXOF 18J0 BLACK

The heavy mortality among babiesduring the present summer has broughtthe problem into special prominence.One statistician, after comparing thisseason's infant death rate with that ofother years, remarked that it would godown in history as "the black summerof 1910." ,

But black as the record has been —InNew York alone in one week 873 littlelives were swept out of existence —itwould have been much worse If it werenot for the work done by the babies'life saving stations throughout thecountry. In addition to what has beenclone by visiting nurses and privatephilanthropy in the maintenance ofbabies' clinics and consultations, andIn securing supplies of pure, clean milkCor the babies who are artificially fed,a. number of health departmentSj no-tably those of New York, Philadelphiaand Chicago, have carried on carefullyarganlzed campaigns of prevention.Early last spring the work was be-

fun by conferences held by the healthleparttnent officers with representa-ives of all the agencies which dealvlth either the mother or baby, andleflnite plans of action were mapped>ut. Physicians, health inspectors and,-islting nurses were assigned to cover:ertaln districts; lifesaving crewsvere stationed at milk dispensariesmd babies' clinics; the co-operation oftreet cleaning gangs was secured;md recreation piers, floating hospitalsent hospitals, on roofs or in vacanots, were opened in an organized efort to keep the babies well.In consequence of the work done in

omo of Its crowded districts. Phlladel>hia was able to show very convincng results. During the last week ouly when the heat was especially inense, though the general rate of inant mortality was 50 per cent highenan for the corresponding week oast year, in tlje four districts uponehlch special effor^ was concentratedhe increase was only 7 per cent.

EDUCATE MOTHERSOne of the features of these cam

laigns of prevention has been the eduation of the mothers in the essentialif Infant hygiene and Infant feedingLnd this plan of education has includd not only the actual mothers of thlables of the tenements, but the thouands of little foster mothers who areIterally thotr sisters' and brothers:eepers. Lessons and practical demontrat lons on live babies of the bescays to feed and batho and care foheir little chaises were given in thmbllc schools latr In the spring byihysicians and trained nurses, andontlnued during the hot days of the

summer playgrounds.As a result of these lectures, what

is known as the League of LittleMothers was organized among the lit-tle foster mothers in New York city.

And though the name does not appearin the register of the General Federa-tion of Women's clubs, or on the ros-ter of the Congress of Mothers, thenew organization bids fair to revolu-tionize conditions some of these days.

The health department supplies thecertificates of membership in theleague, and the so-called "gold" or"sliver" badges worn by the leaguers,

but membership in the clubs is purelyvoluntary- Incidentally the badge car-ries with it the privilege of a combina-tion of police and missionary duty tothe ignorant or indifferent mothers oflarger growth—a privilege which thelittle mothers exercise with great en-joyment.

Letters written by some of these lit-tle mothers to imaginary friends, Inan impromptu examination held by thephysician at one of the schools oarly

this month, showed a surprising graspof the question. The deadly germs thatlurk in ice cream, the dangers of wat-ermelon or other fruits as a food forthe baby were discussed with a gravitywhich might have been assumed by amedical student in the last year of hiscourse. The letters showed that thelittle- mothers not only took the in-struction seriously, but their accountsof their experiences as missionariesto the untaught older mothers provedthat they could be counted on as someof the most effective crusaders in thefight against infant mortality. Best ofall, the teaching of the little mothershas a double effect. It is not onlyeducating the foster mothers of to-day; it Is beginning the training of thereal mothers of a few years from now.
