‘SEES DANGER IN INFANTS’ DIETS

Dr. Morgan Urges Parents To Use Caution During Hot Weather.

Dr. Herman G. Morgan, Health Board secretary today warned parents to use care in planning children’s diets during the hot weather to guard. against intestinal disor-

ders. Summer is the worst time of year for infants, he said, and the death rate among preschool age children usually rises to about 60 in every thousand. For adults, it is the healthiest time of year, he said—a period which offers opportunity to absorb sunshine and build up resistance to the pneumonia months ahead. Food Selection Important “But,” Dr. Morgan sald, “those in the early years of childhood may readily be subjected to stomach and intestinal disorders if extreme care is not exercised in selection of foods

on the diet list. > “Bottle fed infants require more careful watching. If the infant is on a cow milk formula, refrigeration should be watched closely. Milk becomes readily contaminated if it is hot kept on ice or by proper refrigeration. Raw fruits and uncooked vegetables for the age group that is consuming solid food should be given very sparingly. «with the first signs of gastrointestinal or diorhoeal disturbances, medical aid should be sought. The mistake is frequently made of permitting such conditions to reach a state where they aré difficult to remedy. Offers Emergency Advice If a doctor's service cannot be secured immediately. it is a good plan to give only water and other fluids until the case is seen by a physician. “Many infants and children succumb to the disease because their tissues are depleted of their watery elements. Several infants have died already this summer of diseases of this type. “It is well for everyone who can afford it to have a vacation. But infants and children are frequently better off at home, especially if the surroundings where the vacation is spent are not at the best from the -sanitary standpoint.”

EMPLOYEE DETECTS BLAZE IN BASEMENT

Early Arrival Probably Averted Heavy Loss.

Earl Richards, salesman for the Central Wallpaper & Paint Co., 127 E. Washington St., arrived a few minutes early for work today and probably saved his company from serious damage by fire. He found the building filled with smoke and immediately called firemen, who extinguished a blazing pile of rubbish in the basement only a few feet from stocks of paint. Damage from smoke was slight. Meanwhile, officials began an investigation to determine the cause of a still-smouldering Southport grain elevator blaze that caused $40,000 damage yesterday. Smoke still arose from the wreckage today. Firemen believed they would have to tear apart piles of blackened grain to stop the smouldering. Three other fires north of Indianapolis caused $1050 damage last night. They were in buildings owned by J. W. Pipes, 6101 Ewing St, and Glen Lennon, R. R. 18, Box 670.

BOND OF $15,000

Charged With Forgery and Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses.

SOUTH BEND, July 26 (U. P.).— Otto Cloud, 58-year-old bankermerchant of Macy, Ind, was free today $15,000 bond furnished for three itharges from two different courts. : SE Yesterddy, he was arrested on two Fulton County Grand Jury indictments charging him with forgery and obtaining money under false pretenses. Each indictment, in six counts, charges the deposed Macy Bank president with selling forged: conditional sales contracts to financial institutions. rea One of the alleged forgeries was the name of Mrs. Henry Myers of Fulton, who died before Jan. 24, 1938, when she supposedly signed a contract.

Eight Are Indicted

A short time after he posted bond for the Fulton County charges, Cloud was arrested by Deputy Sheriff James L. Neenan of South Bend on an indictment charging

felony. Seriously ill, Cloud was not removed from his home. Cloud was one of eight persons indicted last week by a St. Joseph County Grand Jury on charges of conspiracy to commit felony. Five are members of the Cloud family and another has not yet been arrested. 3 Prosecutor George Beamer of South Bend said today he would attempt to have Cloud and the others indicted with him arraigned this week. No date for the Fulton County arraignment has been set.
