Mo-, on the day of said howl and also
hotter yesterday, as shown by the
United States reports, than anywhere in
the state of Kansas. Kansas City is the
lowest piont, the nearest sea level Of any
locality in this state, and surrounded by
Missouri clay hills and shut in by bot
tom timber it is the logical thing that
the heat at that point should be greater
than on the open prairies. But whether
or no, its too late in the century to force

wind two nights and as many days, or
longer, to reach Kansas City from
Arizona or from Old Mexico. But no
wind, hot or cold, dry or humid, ever
travelled on such a line or for such a
straight distance. The alternating puffs
of heated air felt on drouthy heated

but less in degree, if he Were standing
to the windward of an ordinary radiating

sOOD HABITS FOR BABIES.
Few Pertinent Hints 70 Young Mothers
by One Who Knows.

by One who Knows.
Baby is bundle of habits, and
whether they be good or bad ones de-
pends almost entirely upon the first
few weeks of his existence. | have
known a few babies with regular
habits to have occasional unaccounta-
BILE fits of crying, but | have never
known one with irregular habits who
did not have regular crying spells,
which its poor mother called ithe three
or six months collie, according to the
age of the baby.
A baby has just one thing to do for
the first few months of his unsolicited
existence, and that is to grow In
order to do this To the best of his
ability and under the most favora BILE
circumstances he must eat, sleep, be
held and bathed by the clock.
Few monthly nurses have the sense
to begin right with a baby. and the
mother must see to it that the utmost
regularity is enforced. II you have u
set time for each of his youthful occu-
pations you can be pretty certain when
he cries what he is crying for: If it IS
near the time for feeding he will know
it without the clock as well as you do
with it. If you have no regular hours
you will be much more likely to force
food upon him when he is not hungry
and to try to make him sleep when he
is not sleepy.
Don't let your dearest friend peep at
him when he is asleep. Mothers owe
many hours of care and painful nursing
OF their fretful infants To their own
vasity. which prompts them TO show
the precious charge TO caller who
must kiss ''the pretty dear" and vino

bearded senator to his harrangues in

whether it is prompted 10y even latent

sort of mechanical reeling off OF the
promptings of a perverse will. If there
is merit in the gift of perseverance, we
give him credit for that; but if he thinks

vagaries, even with a show of respect.
