From Harper's Bazaar.
The writer is very proud of her acquaint-
ance with a little girl who in the three
years of her life has never known even an
hours Illness She has never had stom-
ach-ache nor the slightest sign of cold
Not a feeding time Gas n. little baby. not q
meal, has she ever missed. Her teeth came
quietly, without disturbance of any kind,
and restless night is to her unknown. Her
mother ascribes this most unusually perfect
health entirely to the out-of-door life the
child has always led. She was born In the
latter part of October. Many babies who
enter into this world SO near cold weather
are most carefully housed until spring. Not
SO with small Bertha. She was sent out al
most at once, and a two weeks old was
spending nearly all day in the open air. All
through that first winter, she had all her
maps out In her carriage, and only a drlY-
ing storm sufficed to keep her in doors.
Last winter was. as we all remember, ex-
traordinarily cold but little Bertha was out
just the same. and, Ia spite of the croak-
ings of anxious friends who predicted paeu-
monia, was the only child in the family
circle who went through the winter tri-
umphantly without cold. II may well be
that all children could not be thus harden
ed to out-of-door life but the fact remains
that more children are injured by coddling
than ever hurt by exposure to wind and
weather.

THE USE AND ABUSE
MANY WOMEN NEVER GET GOOD
WORK FROM A SEWING MACHINE.
Careful Selections of Needles and Oil
Should Be Made-Up-to-
Date Helps.

Written for The Evening Star.
Not one woman in a thousand knows that
the most faithful of all household appli-
ances, the sewing machine, is really SEN
sitive if inanimate creature. Were this fact
better known, the average sewing machine
would give better returns. in the family
circle. man who has handled machines
for years said recently to a woman who
was buying high-priced machine which
she had learned to use under his guidance:
Now, madam, don't let any one else sew
on this machine. 1t is adjusted to your
weight
THE woman looked athim in Amusement
why, 1 thought any one could run a ma
chine who understood its mechanism.
The man shook his head. Machines
seem almost human to me, and no two
women handle machine just alike. That
machine responds to your every touch and
gives you the very best results. You weigh
about 100 pounds. Your servant weighs
175. Let her use the machine few times
throwing her weight on the treadle, and
she'll throw the whole thing out of gear
just by the difference in her weight. When
you tried to use 1T again you would find
that something was wrong, and If you were
like most women, you would send word to
me that I'd cheated you on the machine, as
1t was out Of order already. If / were the
mother of several daughters 1 would teach
one of them to handle the machine prop
erly and not allow anybody else to touch
it,"
The up-to-date machine is vastly different
from the one our grandmothers used.
Ready to-wear garments for bargain coun-
tiers are responsible for many of the new
attachments. Manufacturers could not af-
ford to put hand-work garments at the
price bargain seekers were willing to pay
for ready-made dresses. Some of these at
tachments are worthy the investigation of
households where much dreSSma king is
done at home, and where there is not time
for deft fingers to place innumerable dainty
stitches. But the woman who intends to
use these up-to-date attachments should

Useful Attachments.
With the present rage for piping and
cording, the corder is most useful attach
ment The hemstitcher is another useful
tool In the family circle. and the tucker is
absolutely Indispensable Some of these are
not Included in the ordinary price of a new
machine, but they can be purchased extra
at price which can soon be saved In time
ana strength.
For the woman who has large family.
"a good-sized house, and little help in sew
ing. darning attachment is well worth
while. This does really remarkable work
on almost any variety OF household linen.
and on lace curtains is Infinitely better than
the average darning by hand.
most important fact for a woman to
remember Is the value of good machine oil.
Men know that there is lubricant for al
most every machine. Women think that
all oils are alike, and they use almost any
thing In the way of a lubricant that hap
pens to be in the house, often with the re-
suit of clogging up the machine. Another
little careless trick which results In poor
work is the use of the same needle for
various sizes of thread. The needle should
be changed with the thread. I'm order TO give
a graceful line of stitching.
a machine which is used every day should
be oiled every day. and occasionally it
should be fabricated with the best quality
OF Kerosene. After the kerosene has been
used the machine should be run rapidly for
few moments, then ordinary machine oil
should be applied.
Where a home is supplied with electric
wires IL will pay to supply the machine
with electric running gear. This involves
the use of a battery which will cost from
SIS TO $50. and the running cost will oe
about a cent an hour. OF course, this does
away with running the treadle by the foot.
1t has long been Used in factories and large
dressmaking shops, and is decided aid to
the family health in a household where sew
ing is constantly on hand. =

on the Louisville & Nashville railroad (even if M. Conner was not benefciary) and thereby deprlving 1t of Sl29S6 of reve- nue that it would otherwise legtimately have collected, had these transactions been straight? And further, if MT Comer did not profit by that part he played In this decepton, then in the name of common justice, why did he insist on sending these MEAL sacks back to Carters Creek until they had made nine trips in this irregular traffic? And why did he not stop the miller in Tennessee from billing FLOUR to him and his mills as MEAL? making a saving of cents per 100 pounds in rate as well as from to 8 pounds per sack in weight upon which no freight was paid?
 When it is easier to do business straight and according to approved meth ods, than it is to praetee manipulation and deception when it does not profit a man, will you please explain to me the motive or object a business man has in view when he Is participant in irregular methods covering a period of some three months and a number of transactions during that time?
 On the second page of your letter you say that MT. Conner bought the flour at certain price delivered at Birmingham, and that he had no interest in the freight. presume you mean to infer that he reaped no benefit from the irregularity. If so I will ask you to please explain to me how it is that YOU could buy flour as cheap as HE COULD AND YET HE WAS ABLE TO UNDERSELL YOU IN THE BIRMINGHAM MARKET? And why did MT. Conner after receiving the first car of FLOUR when the bill of lading called for MEAL return the MEAL SACKS to Carters Creek, Tenn. for other, and yet other and other shipments of FLOUR, covering a period of several months, until the undercharge aggregated S129.S6?
 These as l understand it, are the facts in this case
 If they are not, and if I have circu- lated anything that is not correct shall of course, take pleasure in making any necessary corrections if I shall become convinced that anything l have stated IS erroneous
 I can appreciate your position at that time as a competitor of MT Conner, and can readily understand why you should have complained at the loss of a portion of your flour trade accustomed by some special privilege which you believed MT Conner to be enjoying, in view Of the fact that he was selling flour to your GUS toners at a lower rate than the rate at which you could sell them.
 can also understand why since you are now associated with him in business, and since your political views are in ac- cord with his you would be inclined to look with charity upon acts which at the time of these irregularities were against vour interests but which are now-to say the least of fsit-just a little embarass- ing to a man who Is running for the office of president of the railroad commission

WILL ENLIST CHILDREN.
Crusade Started Against Splitting in
 Public Places.

New York, March 23.-In an attempt to check the dissemination of pneumonia and germs of other diseases of the respiratory organs. President Darlington of the board of health, has enlisted the aid of half a million school children. His idea is that they will not only help greatly in the en- forcement of laws prohibiting expectora- tion on sidewalks and in public convey ances, but that in educating the child ne will be educating the man. He has brought the matter to the attention of Henry A. Rogers president of the board of educa- tion, who heartily approves the sugges- tion
 Great quantities of slips are being print ed by the department of health for dis tribution among the children, and at the same time the teachers will be expected to explain the seriousness of the dangers involved in the practice of splitting in public places.
 It is designed that both boys and girls carry a little pad of warning slips and that when they see a man violating the ordinance they will hand him a card warning him of the heavy fine to which he Is liable.
