ABOUT THE BABY.

DO not forget to give the baby water.
A spoonful given nj intervals during
these long. hot days will save the little
one many crying spells and the mother
much anxiety. Children often appear
fretful and feverIsh. when If they were
not SO helpless they would lind for
themselves speedy relief by running
right to the tap In the kitchen and
cooling their parched little mouths by
taking the divine GIft that Ia withheld
from them by ignorant hands.
A recent case In the courts is m eX-
ample of tho Importance of the matter
from a physicians standpoint doc
tor sued wealthy man for tho feo
,nat he had refused to pay on the
grounds that the physician had only
given the child little water. The
baby, IL seems WAS very III, even mt
the point of death, and tho doctor by
close questioning brought out the fact
that in all his little life Of three months
he had not been given drink OF
water. He forced n few drops into
the child's mouth and later gave him
spoonful, watching him revive like
lily after a rain. But. later. whom he
sent In his bill for services II VIII d.s-
puted because he had not given the
child any medicine.
Fortunately for the doctor the
learned Judge was father, and n judg-
ment was rendered In the medical
mans favor.
Unless table waters are used In tho
family the water given To the baby
must he boiled. II IL well TO boil II
In an open dish OF agate or porcelain
liLed ware. cooling IL well before CIV
Ing II. Some children seem TO dislike
the taste Of the water. and In that case
II Is better to administer II as medi-
cine; spoonful once In four hours.
Many disorders OF the kidneys will be
avoided II this treatment Is per-
sisted In.
1t is strange that the thing most ea-
sential for the health and comfort OF
humanity should be so disregarded In
Its uses for The helpless little ones.
Give the babies water! Not once a
week or when you happen to think of
II. but regularly and without fail.
Perhaps making II rule to carry a
little To the sweet nesting whenever
you yourself are thirsty and drink.

TO GET RID OF IT'S CURVES.
Baltimore and Ohio to Abolish the
Seven Curves" June 10

The management Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad for the past few
months has been spending single
item of quarter of n million Of dol
lars to get rid OF an unenviahlc repu-
tation which has cost II In the past
years a fortune. and furnished many
stale Jokes to a thousand variety actor
and third-class minstrel performers,
Il want to go to Europe" said tho
end man,
Take the Baltimore and Ohio" re-
piled the man in the middle and you
will he just as soasick, and its
cheaper"
Another of the aged jokes was:
why is the Baltimore and Ohla
like n crack baseball pitcher?"
Because Of it's hot curves" was the
reply.
Still another sample piece OF star
wit perpetrated was like this; II want
to go to New York the worst way
"Take the Baltimore and Ohio"
Seriously. however. the Baltimore
and Ohio acquired n wide reputation
for being hard road to travel and
It all came from strip Of track less
ttan two miles long down in the
neighborhool of Cherry Run, and
known ae the seven curves"
And there were really seven curves,
al! nice. sharp, reverse curves, without
an inch of straight track to relieve the
awful jolt passengers received as great
trains were whirled over these curves
1T the rate of fifty to sixty miles an
hour. These curves gave the Dalti-
more and Ohio the name Of the ''pretzel
route" among the drummers.
1t was safe enough to whirl the trains
over these curves at high speed, for the
track was in perfect condition, and
great heavy rails were laid on monster
sleepers imbeddcd in rock ballast care
fully kept in faultless shape At night
the occupants of upper berths were
rolled out into the aisIes, and before
they could catch their breaths the re-
bound would land them upstairs and
back in bed
Those were great reverse curves.
On long trains the passengers could
look right through the middle coach
and see the engine on the far side,
while from a balloon view the twist
ed train would look like snake In
dying agony.
Oscar G. Murray, the managing re-
ceiver, went over those seven curves
once, and VIII i he recovered engineers
were Immediately set at work prepar-
ing plans to abolish the famous seven
curves. In their place, now nearing
completion, Is a monster open cutting
through the stony hills Of West Vir-
ginia through which an air line water
grade track will be used in place OF
the most crooked piece OF railroad
track In the east.
Enginemen who once took fendish
lelight In letting the old machine out
and giving their trains rapid whirl
when they struck those famous curves
will sigh for bygone pleasures In
few days more, and the evil reputation
which that nauseating piece Of track
has fastened on the Baltimore and
Ohio will die in time.
