HEROIC LITTLE MARY.
Katie Murphy Saved Her
Mothers Life.

Hear this story of little girl who
was as great a hero as any grown man
could have been. She was Katie
Murphy. KLtie was only ten years
old, but she had more knowledge and
experience of life than many a rich
girl twice her age has. That is the
advantage of being poor-if there are
any advantages, that is-you learn Of
life in many phases, most of them
hard and unpleasant. But you learn
also to do things and take care Of
things and to think and reason in
some ways that you would never know
at all if you were rich.
Katie Murphy's mother was widow
with five children. Tommie and Char
lie, aged eight and six, went to, school,
while Katie stayed at home and took
care of Mary and Nellie, the little ones.
Mary was four; Nellie, the baby, was
two. Mrs. Murphy went out to work
every day, leaving home at seven and

When asked to explain how he had become
20 strong in such short time, he says:

WARM WEATHER DIET.
EeAted Foods N Seldom
G.Ss5s ~ Possible. %

AS soon as the warm weather comes,
change from the heavy, heating diet
Of winter to a simple, cooling diet. Eat
less. frequently or eat a smaller guam
tityz than usual. It would be well to
have one meal to consist of fruit alone
or fruit and bread and butter. Eat
very little meat. It is better, especial
~ for people who lead sedentary life.
to eat no meat at all during the hot
weather. In place Of meat substitute
beans, peas, etc. Baked potatoes,
boiled rice, fresh vegetables, cooling
salads and an abundance of fruits make
an excellentsummer dietary, says Med.
ical Talk for the Home. @..,
The person who complains the most
of heat is generally suffering from
overstimulation due to too much food
or the wrong kind of food. Hot soups,
steaming meats, maple sirup and flap
Jacks may be all right in cold weather,
but should never be INDUCED in during
the summer months. When too much
food is taken it cannot be digested and
it ferments in the stomach and intes-
tines. The fermentation causes heat,
discomfort and nervous irrita bility.
With mass of heated food within and
a heated atmosphere without, ex-
IRENE discomfort is sure to follow.
Hot weather is a very trying ordeal
and everything possible should be done
to counteract the depressing effects
OF the heat. A sensible diet will do
more towards alleviating the distress
OF heat, perhaps, than any other one
thing. Simple but nutritious foods
tighten the work of digestion, while
they are cooling and nourishing to the
body.
AS to drinks, next TO pure water, lem
onade or buttermilk is the only sem
sible hot-weather drink. They are
cooling and refreshing and really
quench thirst, and buttermilk is very
nutritious. Ice-cream sodas, phos-
pilates and root beers, while cooling
in their immediate effect, are really
worthless and result in further dis
comfort and increased thirst.
Just a little common sense as to
what one eats and drinks in hot wealth.
er will do more toward keeping per-
son cool and comfortable than all the
electric fans and ice connections in ex-

said:

BABY HAT TIE LATEST.
One OF the styles That IL Now In .
Fair Way to Become
Popular.

The type of women who look we'll
in baby hat is having her innings just
now as never before. She takes to the
country bunch of washable hats and
sunbonnets, which are exactly like
baby things in all but their size, and
in fact she gets them in the baby de-
partments of the stores, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
There is new figure golf hat which,
except for its big black taffeta bow,
is like the little pink or blue Marssilles
chapeau that baby girls have worn for
SO long, and which is much more be-
coming than the cap of which it is the
evolution. Then there is a sunbon-
net made without any curtain in the
back and with a great, scoopy brim to
fit over hair la pompadour, which
is really after all just little Kate
Greenaway bonnet. How many years
ago grown-ups wore Kate Greenaway
bonnets one summer before to match
their gowns.
All the bridemaids' hats this year
are being made after the elaborate
models of imported baby millinery,
and the big affairs that are worn by
the continental babies are sold to wo.
men for wear at country lawn parties.
So the woman whose small son has
this luxurious kind of Sunday head
gear can borrow it. when occa sion de-
mands with the satisfaction of knew
ing that if she can wear it at all it is
the most fetching thing she puts on.
A Chicago girl who has treasured all
of her cotillon hats of last winter to
take with her to a small town says one
needs more kinds of hats for summer
visit to little place than are needed
I'LL of the year at home.
"Talk about their not wearing hats
in the country" she says. "The first
thing you get is an invitation to
porch party or croquet party with q
notice down in the left hand corner
to wear tissue paper hat; er else you
are invited to hayrack ride and told
to wear sunbonnet.
Frothed Chocolate.
Among all the beverages served at
five o'clock tea, or to the invalid,
frothed chocolate undoubtedly stands
first in popularity. Would you make
it just right? Try this way of doing:
Cook in clean granite basin until
smooth and shiny two squares of choc-
olate, two tablespoonfuls of sugar,
one level saltspoonful of salt and two
tablespoonful of hot water or milk.
Then add gradually, stirring all the
time, a scant quart and half of
warmed milk. When smooth and
hubby, whip lightly with Dover egg
beater. Flavor with cinnamon extract
or half teaspoonful of vanilla. Have
ready half pint of cream whipped to
a froth, put a tablespoonful in the bot
tom of each cup and pour the hot
chocolate over it. Do not be afraid of
cooking too long before adding the
milk, as long cooking will prevent its
settling in the cups or becoming
greasy. Some good cooks prefer to
use chocolate "muddler" in place of
the egg beaten, thinking the orange
imparts a pleasant flavor. Cinnamon
is the old Mexican flavor used with
chocolate.

not getting back till six in the even

ing.
Katie was one of those little moth
ers" you have read of who have to
keep house and mind whole families Of
children while their parents 60 out to
earn a living. She had never been in
the beautiful country and had never
seen grass except in city park, where
she only knew it was beautiful and
something she and her baby sisters
must keep off. But she knew how to
keep house in the fashion of very poor
people and how to mind the babies all
day. She loved them and devoted her.
self to them. She had had 80 much
care and hard work in her life of lug
ging babies around that she did not
look like a child at ALL but like tiny
woman with her pale face and serious
ways. And she was a real woman,
too, as you will find.
In the pleasant weather she took the
children to the park in the afternoon
and kept them till nearly six o'clock.
Then she trundled Nellie home in the
baby cart while Mary trudged beside
her. At home Katie lit the fame of
the gas stove, boiled some water and
made tea, all ready for poor, tired
Mrs. Murphy.
But one afternoon there was q pro-
cession and great crowd in the street,
so Katie could not cross with her baby
cart and little sister. She had to wait
so lc2g that it was long past six ere
she reached home. In the hall at the
door of their tiny fiat frightful smell
of gas seemed to come from under the
Murphys' closed door. Katie knew
that was something dangerous.
"stay by the baby" she said to
Mary.
Then she dashed into the outer
room. The gas fumes nearly suffocat-
ed her, but she sped on into the
kitchen. Her mother lay unconscious
on the floor, with the gas turned full
on in the stove, but not yet lighted.
Katie herself nearly swooned, but she
knew enough to turn off the gas and
had just strength enough left to run
to the window and dash it open to let
the air in. She put her head out, took
a long, deep breath and screamed and
called with all her might for help.
Many a woman would have lacked the
level-he adedness to do that, but Katie
had more presence of mind than half
the grown girls have.
People from the street and neigh
bors ran in in answer to her call. Some
threw open the other doors and win
dows, others lifted her mother and
one tore out for the doctor.
It was an hour before the physician
brought Mrs. Murphy to conscious
ness. He told them that only Katie's
prompt action had saved her life:
Even half a minute more and it would
have been too late. Mrs. Murphy had
been taken i'll in the shop where she
worked and had come home in the
afternoon. Feeling very weary, she
thought she would make the tea her
self. She remembered lighting a
match and turning on the gas-that
was all. She must have tainted just at
that moment and fallen upon the floor.
The gas, flowing out, overpowered her
so she could not regain her senses, and
she would have been suffocated but for
her heroic little daughter.
People could not say enough in
nraise of Katie. But as for Katie her.
