Care of the Baby

In the daytime see that neither the
sun nor the reflection from snow-cov-
cred roofs glare in the baby's eyes.
This same precaution should be OBJ
served in regard to artificial lights.
When possible allow the sun and light
to flood the living-room. but protect
the baby's eyes. for they are extremely
delicate and sensitive. and they cannot
receive too much attention.
Before the bath. see that the apart
ment is so warm that baby will not
shiver during the process. Prevent all
draughts, bathe quickly. and dry rap
idly without neglecting the ample use
of the towel. A gentle though vigorous
rubbing with the towel is beneficial at
all times. but it is necessary after the
bath.

TO MAKE MERINGUE

the meringue is light, firm, and quite
dry, it viii be a success. 1t should be
baked in a comparatively cool oven.
and a good plan is to cook it with the
oyen-door open for twenty minutes and
let it cool rather slowly. At the end
of this period the meringue should be
quite brown. but If not sufficiently so
the oven may be closed for a few min
utes in order to brown it as desired.
The sugar should never be stirred into
the whites of the eggs. neither should
the meringue be baked in a hot oven.
These mistakes are always at the bot
tom of poor results. Too great heat in
baking the meringue makes it tough
and thin.

There were thirty men In the White

Thompson for murder. Pete was play

Pete laid down his cards, pulled his

finger could pun the trigger The sheriff
never moved. When the smoke had
rolled out Of the open door and we
count see the sheriff stood in the same
position and wore the same smile. One
bullet had burned his cheek; second
had grazed his ear: a third had cut
through his shirt collar under the left
ear. Big Pete was dead shot, and
yet he had missed his man at fifteen
feet.
