when the Baby Il Sick.

That the lives of very many Of the
babies annually sacrificed to infantile
disease might be spared were a physician
only called In soon enough Is the con
seusus OF opinion among all authorities
on the ailments of infancy and child
hood. In every home where a baby reigns
there should be applied the motto, "A
stitch in time saves nine"
Il wonder If baby is sick enough for
me to send for the docter?' is the mental
inquiry OF almost every mother some
time during the first or second year of
her child's life, and that mental inquiry
should settle the matter absolutely. The
very fact that she should have occasion
to conjecture about such a move should
be proof positive to her that the baby
does need the DOCTOR and right away.
While a mother should not give her
self unnecessary worry or live under per
petual foreboding of evil it is well for her
to be constantly on guard against any of
the insidious diseases to which infancy
and childhood are so prone. The mo-
ment she detects symptoms Of any of
these maladies let her not attempt any
"home' remedies, but go instantly for
the doctor.
A good plan and one recommended by
the hospitals that make a speciality Of
children's diseases is to subject the baby
to a thorough physical examination each
day, preferably Immediately before or
after the morning bath. Whenever pos
sible the mother herself should make this
diagnosis rather than the nurse, however
trustworthy.
Intestinal troubles and diseases Of the
digestive system are what the careful
mother should most rigidly guard against.
Diagnosis of such ailments Is rarely diff
cult. One of the first indications will be
the appearance upon the mucous men,
brane of the mouth and the inner surface
of the cheek OF small white flakes. Many
mothers mistake these for deposits Of CO.
agulated milk, and the "thrush"-for that
is the name given the eruption-spreads
throughout the baby's entire system and
only too often ends in death.
When baby's lips tremble and there is
a turning down OF the corners of the
mouth. it is a sure indication of pains and
Inflammation below the diaphragm.
When the baby breathes with difficulty
and there is any dilation of the nostrils,
you may be sure of chest and lung trou-
bles, and no time should be lost in send
ing for a physician.

Wa. Thi. Woman Right

The midday Russian express had start
ed and was already speeding through the
undulating country that girdles Vienna.
The fruit trees were in bloom. the bitches
golden with irises, and every streamlet
sparkled in the sunshine. In my compart
meDt were two women. each bound on
longer journey than myself The first, an
Austrian of the small shopkeeping class,
had with her boy 3 years old and n
baby. The orner was a young unmarried
English woman.
Presently the guard came to examine
our tickets The English woman's and
my own were returned without remark.
but over the Austrian's there was demur.
She was entitled TO take one child free,
but for the second she must pay. The
young mother was obviously distressed
perhaps had not the IA forms demanded.
The guard looked sympathetic. lie was
sorry, he said, but the money must be
paid unless-and he turned with an in
sinuating smile to the English woman
unless when the ODER schaffner' comes
round the .guadige' will say the little hoy
is hers?"
For a moment the English woman was
silent A struggle ragged within her.
Could she tell lie. pose as a mother on
foreign strand and in the presence OF
foreigners? Besides, the boy. in his cheap.
ready made suit and imitation lace col
lar. was not quite-quite- But she look
ed across and caught the mothers i'm
ploring glance.
VERY good" she said. when the
'ober- schaffner' comes l shall say the lit
tie boy is mine"
Ten minutes later appeared an awe in
spring official in blue and gold uniform
and with waxed mustache. The daughter
of Albion did not finch. She put an arm
around the little vulgar boy and drew
him materially toward her. But Provi-
dence was kind. The social leap that in
her own eyes she had taken was not ap-
parent to the 'ober-schaffner." He took
the situation for granted.
How old is the boy" was his only
question. and mastering her best Wen
nese accent and without blush the Eng
lish woman answered.:
Three years old."-London Academy.
