How to Bs4he the BABY.

When the child is removed from the
bath, it should be laid on its stomach
across tho nurses knees, while the back,
arms and knees are dried quickly with
soft towels. Then the little one should
be turned over and the rest of the body
dried as quickly as possible, taking care
to wipe between every joint and toe
The nurse should then take of the fan
mel apron which she has been wearing
and replace it with dry one, so that
nothing damp will touch the baby's
clothes while it is being dressed Every
thing necessary for q child's toilet
should be prepared beforehand. and
then it will be completed In the correct
20 minutes. A very small child should
be sponged all over in soapy tepid water.

WORK OF THE SKIN.
How 1t Throws or the Poisons OF the
Body,

How 1t Throws or the Poisons OF the
Body.
Tho skin contains innumerable pores
for throwing off impurities, and also
sweat glands. It is likewise IN organ Of
respiration. It takes up oxygen and
throws off carbonio acid gas in the same
way exactly that the lungs do-that IT,,
by bringing the blood close to surface
where air is moving and free. In either
case the oxygen passes In through the
wall Of the blood vessel and the waste
gases pass out, for there are certain very
poisonous gaseous substances other than
carbonio acid gas which pass away via
lungs and skin, but especially by the
skin. While in the body these poisons
cause weakness aud tho sense Of fatigue.
They cannot be gotten rid of too quick
~. Some Of them can only get out
through the skin. Judge, then, the i'm
portance Of keeping the blood vessels Of
the skin in something like full activity.
An Indians thinly clothed or naked
skin, usually very dirty too, feels hot to
the hand on q zero morning. A ducks
webbed foot moving in ice cold water is
kept at full blood temperature. These
are simply cases Of we'll developed cir
culation that meets and balances hab-
itual exposure. Now the civilized white
man, for the sake Of using some Of bis
energy in other ways than resisting in
olemenoies Of nature, wears artificial
clothing. The skin circulation has cor
respondingly fallen off. Incidentally
some skin functions, such as that Of
throwing of the fatigue poisons. have
suffered. And finally it comes about
that we, artificial animals that we have
become, need to rub back and persuade
back the blood vessels into our skins by
special practices to which in q wide
sense the NAME baths may be applied
short applications Of heat and cold, Of
sunlight and breeze, of hand rubbing or
flesh brushing. Of salt water, Of hot w.
por. There are numerous means suited
variously to different people But one
end involved, common to all, Is to undo
some of the mischief incidental to liv-
ing in clothes.
Another skin function not usually
known is connected with nutrition.
Somewhere in the series of changes
by which digested food is made up into
new blood and cell fluids. is stage
where it needs to come into the skin,
for just what purpose is not known,
but attention to skin circulation helps
vastly in bringing up defective nutri
ton.

She was also bothered almost constantly with
the headache and pain in her side and back.
She would sometimes feel weak she could
scarcely walk. She had rheumatism in her
lower limbs, too. They were badly swollen
and her people were afraid she would have
dropsy. She was treated by two OF the best
physicians in Freeport, but without the slight
est help.
One day her mother read about case SINH
lar to her daughters that was cured by Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Sne
told her daughter about them and said Lottie
ought to try them because the doctors could
not help her. So she pEGcu'ed the pills ana
before she had taken the Arst box she was
very much improved, her appetite grew better
and her sleep more refreshing. She continued
to take the pills for six months. While taxing
the pills she gradually improved until she was
entirely cured.
Now she is in robust health and she Is no
longer troubled with that tired feeling. She
has no more headaches and the pain in her side
is also gone She has not felt any symptoms OF
rheumatism since she used the Pink Pills. Her
com plcxion has lost that pale and ssi1oW look
and she hAs gained in weight. She ID now In
perfect health and feels better than she had for
years before she used the pills She feels con-
fdent that she owes her health and even her
life to DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
She thinks it is perfectly marvellous how well
she now feels after all she suffered. She SAID !:
II can heartily recommend the Pink Pills to
anyone suffering ms / did"

For is centuries the Armenians have In
babited the mountainous regions around the
eastern slopes of Mt. Ararat. They are the
best living examples of the clinging tenacity
of the Christian faith. For 1900 years they
have suffered persecution, and their record
shows an unbroken chain of martyrs and con-
fessors. reaching back to period long antedat-
ing the Ottoman conquest. Leading pas

Anyone familiar with the practical diff

bill could in any case become law this
session, on account of the shortness of the
term and the hostile administrative atmos-

Congress will give it certain prestige ia
the next which o different bill would not
