Sometimes the cause Of the suGuen
cry may be traced from the little cold
feet upward.
The safety of the baby during the hot
weather depends largely upon the
watchfulness Of the ones who have the
precious charge in their keeping.
1t is easier to prevent sore mouth
than to cure it. When the baby has
finished eating wash his mouth thor
oughly with little cold water and
borax. II the gums are inflamed over
the coming teeth pinch of bicarbonate
OF soda may be added to the borax
water.
Accustom the baby to a moderate
light, but shade his eyes from direct
glare Of full sunlight, whether he Is
asleep or awake. There are many faults
OF vision that may be avoided by a lit.
tie care, and sometimes quite grave de.
fects may be relnedied without the aid
OF the oculist.
At the first sign of hoarseness In the
child's voice little warm olive oil
should be rubbed ON the throat and
chest and piece Of thin flannel laid
over to protect the clothing and to keet
out the air. The little bootees that have
been removed to give greater comfort
and freedom to the restless feet must
be replaced; and no matter how at.

PERFECT SKIRT SUPPORTER.

A PERFECT skirt and shirt
~ waist supporter has at last
- been invented. Ever since shirt
waists have been worn women have
been constantly annoyed by the waist
slipping up and putting in the back,
and by the skirt band sagging and slip
ping from under the belt. Various con-
trivances have been devised to remedy
these difficulties, but none were to be
depended upon under all circum-
stances. This new holder and sup
porter Is a jewel in every respect, over
comes all difficulties, and relieves the
strain from the belt, which last has
been the cause Of much discomfort, be-
sides disfguring the belt by punches
and Ineffective hooks. The new article

Truth. Told in a Few Words.

~
A child's respect for its parent is not
secured by over-leniency any more than
by over-severity.
A daughter should never seek nor be
allowed to ''outdress" her mother. In
every family the mother should be the
best-dressed member.
The discarded tinery Of daughter
should never constitute mothers
wardrobe. No one feels especially dig
nified in the presence Of one whose old
clothes she is wearing, and a mother
should Mt all times preserve her dignity
before her children. The mother who
never loses her queenliness will never
lose her crown.
Preventable misfortunes consist,
chiefly, Of manifold things. little to do.
but immense things to have done.
The man who earns one dollar and
spends two, and the man who earns
two and spends one, stands on either
side Of the hair-line between needless
ness and discretion, between ruin and
safety.
Parents generally receive that meas
ure of filial respect they deserve-not
always. perhaps, but very generally.
When u mother allows her daughter
to appropriate her wraps. gloves, wells,
or other articles of personal attire. she
begins policy of familiarity which.
sooner or later breeds contempt. A re-
spect for ones belongings engenders a
respect for their possessor.-Ladies'

Men whose early manual training con-

children's lives was being moulded for the
first time.
Approaching the building from the west
side of the city, by way of the Exchange

massive proportions. Every room in the
large structure was lighted, and the build

roof. 1t was indeed a beacon OF light
standing out from the dark shadows Of
the night.
The building was thrown open TO the
public at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and
many took advantage of the opportunity
to make careful tour of the building, and
compare it in its completeness with the
facilities offered in years gone by. Many
