TO BE ESTABLISHED Presbyterian Church Behind Movement-—Physicians and Nurses to Help A baby, fed other than the way, nature intended It, has much less 1 chance for life and strength, especially when warm weather comes on. A babe whose motner cannot or will not f upply It. except by bottle, should be. . and is now. being given much thought and practical aid. Fort Wayne is one. of our nearest neighbors, who is giving the matter attention. Believing that the infant mortality of Fort Wayne can be cut down fifty per cent, and being assured of tlie support of the Fort Wayne Medical society, the trustees of the First Presbyterian : church last night voted to open a : milk depot at the church next Mon- ( day morning, as requested by the pastor, tlie Rev H. B. Masters, who has been working on tlie case for some time. For an hour, each day, the depot will be open for the examination and care of tlie trnbies, by physicians and a trained nurse. The purest of milk will be furnished, the physician in charge—who wil have a week contin uous duty an hour a day—will examine < weigh and give the prescription for i the food for the babies. The trained i nurse will tlien moderate the milk according to tlie doctor's orders. Each i mother will be given milk to last the i liaby for twenty-four hours. "in order not to make the depot look i entirely like a charitable institution a t nominal sum of five cents will be I charged providing the mother is able i to pay it. If not she Is perfectly wel- I come to the milk and the instructions I for tlie baby. I "The whole idea Is to furnish thej depot for mothers who feel that they ' are unable alone to give their babies the proper food they should have during the warm months. One nurse alone, told of twelve infant deaths last year, that could have been prevented if i proper food had l>een provided. - -oCOLLECT FRIDAY EVENING. - Saturday Is DecOTntlon Day nnd ns usual the Daily Democrat will be is- J. sued at noon.

THREE DAYS HERE Colonel Roosevelt Will Campaign Indiana During the Coming Campaign r BEVERIDGE IS HOME Refuses to be Interviewed About His Visit With Roosevelt at Oyster Bay (Democratic News Bureau.) Indianapolis, Ind., May 28—(Special to Daily Democrat)—While Albert J. Beveridge, Progressive nominee for tlie United States Senate refuses to be interviewed regarding tlie purpose and result of Ids visit to Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay tills week it became known today that the Progressive leaders are very well satisfied about It. ■ - Beveridge stands very close to Colonel Roosevelt, having worked with him closely during his two terms as President. Tlie Colonel assured Beveridge several months ago that lie would come to Indiana to take part in tlie campaign tills year. A definite program for his part in tlie Indiana campaign was discussed at the Oyster Bay conferences this week. The Republican leaders who thought that Roosevelt would not be on the job in Indiana this year have another think coming. It was stated here today that he is as deeply intereMed in Indiana as in Pennsylvania where Clifford Pinchot is the Progressive nominee for the Senate against Senator Boise Penrose, Republican. Roosevelt is Just as much interested in upsetting tlie old gang in Indiana as in Pennsylvania and he will devote more time to the Indiana campaign than was the understanding several months ago. He is determim'd that the new party shall not liack-slide in Indiana if he can help himself, it is probable that he will spend at least three days campaigning in Indiana early in September. A special train will be chartered so mat he can cover tlie entire state. Tlie Republicans are trying to offset the activity of RoosevCit an? Beveridge as best they can but it is apparent that in spite of anything they can do that the i'rogressives arc going to east such a large vote that there will l>® no hope of Republican success this year. Beveridge and Chairman Ed Toner are to make a complete tour of the state for organisation purposes during the next mouth. By the end ui tin t time they will have a good working force that will enable them to go right ahead with their organization plans. Tlie Republican papers are accusing The Indianapolis Star of willfully 'faking' a story recently that a bet of 81,000 even was posted that Beveridge would get more votes than Hugh Th. Miller. Such a bet was posted at tinCozy bar here as stated In The Star. It remained on the boards for fully three weeks la'fore It was taken This bet does not ri'present the drift In til® betting as It is too early to het heavily. However the bet won posted ns any one could have learned for himself by making an honest investigation. At this time there is n bet of 82,000 even at tlie Severin hotel. Republican headquarters that Miller runs ahead of Beveridge, As far as th • beta ar« concerned the Republicans have the better nf It at this time but the reason why the Republican leaders "hollered" fake alsiut the original het was that it wns against their sbnatorInl candidate. It Is not ml- stating the situation to say that the propri® tors of all of the betting boards hero with on*' or two exceptions autlclpaf< i »| that Beveridge will be n favorite over Miller when the betting starts. - - - —-o BIRTH OF GRANDSON. Mr. and Mrs. Al Gerart are rejolcIng In the fact that they ar® now grandparents. This is because of the blrtli of a fin® baby hoy to their son. Ben Gerard, of Auburn, yesterday. Thhi is their first grandchild. ■■ o NOTICE TO MINISTERS. The Dally Democrat will go to preen nt 10:30 Saturday morning beciHtse of Decoration Day.
