swallowinr Ruttona

When children swallow buttons,
coins or other foreign bodies, it seems
to be natural impulse for their moth
ers to at once administer purgative.
Castor oil or the like is usually given
under the idea of facilitating the ex-
pulsion of the object from the intes-
tines; but this is exactly the wrong
course to pursue. Purgatives should
not be given. They only tend to make
matters worse, for they increase the
natural movements of the intestines
and make the ENHANCEMENT of the OBJ
ject in some loop of the bowels all the
more liable. To adopt an entirely re-
verse proceeding is the proper mode of
treatment, giving diet which is more
constituting than otherwise, for the
aim should be to lessen the movement
of the intestines, and to cause the
foreign body to become imbedded in
the food given. Solid diet, such as
bread and butter, mashed potatoes,
rice pudding, porridge and cnstards,
with as little fluid as possible, should
be given. In most cases this course
of treatment will be effective; then
give dose of oil after the foreign
body has been expelled, but not be-
fore.

It is true that the world has a right.
in measure, to look to the woman in
a home for what goes on in that home.
and hold her accoun able therefor.
But only in a measure so long as the
present conditions of society exist.
1t is an actual truth that one-third of
the wives of this country to-day have
no idea of the incomes of their hus-
bands. The husband achieves a GER
tain success in business. His CONNER
cial ascendency seems to require of
him that he shall sustain a higher
social position. "My dear" says the
husband to his wife, 'snow that am
more prosperous we must live little
better. The wife acquiesces, for what
woman does not desire to olive bet
ter when she can? But the husband
does not tell her how much more s'pros-
perous'' he is, or how much "better"
her establishment is to be. She is
supposed to guess and define what he
actually knows. She is supposed to
be perfectly cognizant of a state of
affairs which are never explained to
her. Let wife ask for figures, and
the husband is apt to say: 'sNow, my
dear, don't you worry about figures;
let me do that. It is enough for you
to know that am making a sufficient
income to keep you and your children
in good style. Don't be extravaganza,
but let us live easily, you know"
Live easily, you know! That's what
some men call being definite. Now, /
ask in all fairness, how is a woman to
steer a ship when she has no idea
whether the rudder touches the water
or not? And yet this is precisely what
scores of wives in this country are do
ing every day of their lives. With
the husbands prosperity his tastes ex-
pand, and the wife strives to meet
them. She orders without the s1ig ht-
est idea whether her husband has suf-
hcient means to pay the amount of the
bills she contracts. She is told to
"dress little better,'' so that s'you
can receive my friends in a way more
becoming to your better position, you
know" And she purchases better
dresses than before. She dresses her
children more pretti1y. When the bills
come in the husband frowns little,
but they are paid. And so the domes-
tic pantomirne goes on. Suddenly a
crash comes. The "street" shrugs its
shoulders and points 'sup town" over
the shoulders. The insinuation of
keeping an expensive establishment"
is met by the husband in silence,
which very silence colors the suspicion,
and another calamity is added to the
list of those caused by woman's ex-
travagance. Logical, isn't it? So
just to the wife, too!
Cause OF Nervous Troubles.
Scientists are agreeing more and
more that nervous disorders, Brights
disease, liver arrangement and dropsy
have their origin In the stomach.

Hints For Mothers.

1 have two children whom others
call bright and pretty, and naturally
am not the one to contradict that
statement. / knew nothing about the
care of children until my own home
was made happy and blessed by their
presence. Thinking that what ex-
perience has taught me may aid some
anxious young mother, I mention a
few of the things necessary to keep
baby well. For colo, deny yourself
acid foods and beans for a few months.
Give little medicine. Regulate the
bowels. Keep the baby warm. Sup
ply fresh air and give daily bath.
Use common sense in nursing; have
regular hours, if possible. Don't
nurse too often; delicate child may
need to nurse more often than strong
one, as it takes less. The best and
easiest way to break child of. fire.
quent nursing is to allow third per-
SON to amuse it when it gets restless
for dinner. The mother reminds it of
its food. If strong, little crying will
hurt it less than indigestion and pain
from over-nursing. When weaned,
give plenty of wholesome food at meal
times, and between meals baked APP
pie or little milk Cruel or clear soup,
and when two years old many of the
fresh fruits and vegetables, also ten
der meat. When three years old, a
hearty meal at meal times should ans
wer. Don't allow it to play in water.
Give barley water for 1osseness, and
avoid prunes or oatmeal. For consti-
patton give plenty of prunes and oat-
meal strained, milk and little sugar;
rub gently the abdomen with olive oil,
occasionally, at night. For a child
over year small part of pure glyc-
crime suppository or an occasional
warm water injection is help to con-
stipation. Avoid dependence on either;
try to regulate by careful and suitable
diet. Watch results. Lastly, remem-
Der no one can fill mothers place
though the highest wages may be paid.
No one can fill fathers place in the
heart and training of his little ones if
he neglect his duty. No one can bless
them as He who said: "Feed my
lambs. Mrs A.

Cannot Tamper. with This paper


Cannot Tamper with This Paper.
The inventive genius of Jennie
Wertheimer, Cincinnati girl, has
made for her a fortune. She has in.
vented commercial paper on which
1T is impossible to raise amounts on
checks, forge names or otherwise tam
per with its face value. The particu-
lar makeup or form of the draft or
check is what constitutes its chief
value. From the top of the note to
the name in favor of whom the amount
is made out, the paper is of the usual
thickness, but from just below the
name the paper gradually tapers until
it becomes as thin and transparent as
tissue paper. The paper is very strong
and durable, and is as tough at the
tissue end as at the top. Now, if any
changes have been made at all from
the original draft, by the use of chem
lcals or other means, it will be shown
immediately by holding it up against
the light from the other side.
It required considerable persever-
ance before Miss Wertheimer could
secure paper manufacturer who was
capable of working out her ideas. She
tried thirty different ones before she
finally succeeded in finding one who
could accomplish the desired result.
She has been offered $4,000 for her
patent, and the interest on $50, 900 for
a period of twenty years, at the end of
which time the capital is to be turned
over to her. Z.

Miss Parloa's statement in a recent lee
ture in regard to the cooking of prunes
will be received with surprise by many
housekeepers who have considered thai
long soaking was the most necessary
part of the process of preparing this fruit
for the table. Miss Parloa does not soak
them at all. though for other dried fruit
she approves Of immersion in cold water
over night. Her method Of preparing
