Too much food and too little nour-
ishment is doing a great deal Of harm
to many little ones. For infants who
must be bottled" milk diluted with
barley water, grain of salt and a
pinch Of sugar added, given lukewarm

fat, jolly baby will result. But COM
mon sense must be used A mother
can soon tell whether her baby cries
from hunger or from overlooking.
Don't ask any one; judge for yourself.
For children the simpler the meals,
the fewer sweets, candies and unneces-
saries, the better. For breakfast in the
summer give them bread and butter,
milk, sliced tomatoes or any fresh fruit
but oranges, which would not agree
with milk. Pineapple is indigestible,
though the juice is good.
In winter give porridge, and be sure
1t is we'll boiled and that too much SUI
gar is not added. The porridge may be
made from oat meal, rolled wheat,
cracked wheat, hominy. corn meal,
bread and milk Or sliced bananas (no
purgative medicine is ever needed If
fruit be given in mornings when nee
essary). On Sunday an egg, poached
or boiled.
For dinner give any meat but pork,
soup or fish, all vegetables Except
corn, plain pudding, no pie or boiled
paste.
For tea give bread and butter. milk
or cocoa, occasionally preserve. maple
syrup. rhubarb or honey.
The more moderation is exercised in
eating, the better. The food should be
plain, good and appetizing, and the chill
dren should be given all they want.
If children's appetites, are not spoiled
by sweets they will enjoy everything
put before them.-Woman's Home

Health and Beauty Hints.

Once week the teeth should be

remember that while pumice is good

used too vigorously.

Praise of Homely Women.


Pirate not of pretty girls to me
OF ruby lips and dreamy eyes,
That beauty cannot cease to be
An ever fresh and sweet surprise;
l care not tho her face be fair
And framed as in wreath of curls-
For pretty maids do not care;
/ sing the praise of homely girls.
/ sing of her whose nose is pug,
Though even to the side it's tipped,
Whose figure, like old Omar's jug
Which mourned the potter's hand had
slipped;
And say you that she squints bit?
What odds? And in her speaking
halts?
Nay. girls who squint possess the wit
70 squint mans most glaring faults.
A dainty, slender foot, no doubt,
Is pleasing, when all's said and done,
But husbands later find it out
That larger feet are best to run
Their little errands, fetch their shoes
When home they come at days demise,
For dainty feet possess no wings
Big-footed girls are for the wise.
The pearly, peachblow cheek has fears
Lest cooking spoils its lovely tint,
Cerulean eyes dare shed no tears,
Or show of sympathy a hint;
The hand Of Venus smeoths NO brow
Unless it be dukes or earl's-
And SO when you We, Id choose frau
Do not neglect the homely girls.

deed it is urged by those who would
deny them any more direct express

wholly good. While altogether per-
sonal in her activities, limited in ambi-

tic circle exclusively, the woman could
bring to public affairs only narrow
and reactionary policy; but these wom-

perience the conditions of the outside
world, learning by travel and contact
the great lesson of our age, the unity
Of social life-bring to the considera-
ton Of our common affairs a new spir-
it and new power. So long as the
mothers of the world give to their chill
dren only the intensely personal senti-
ments of the primitive home, no social
advance of the father can wholly coun-
teract their heavy influence. He, grow
ing and broadening in an ever wider
contact with humanity, may transmit
to the child the racial advance; but
she, in her immovable position, stead

Oldest prejudices and strengthens anew
that ancient egoism which is the
strongest barrier to social progress.
In this new life, this broad human
itarian work, we are building a new
motherhood Of immense advantage to
the world. 1t is not only in direct
physical heredity that this is felt-for
our young girls are naturally not the
ones who form international councils
but in the broader social heredity.

The Iowa delegates at large to the
Chicago convention will not be in
strange company when they sit down
at the council table. All have been to
other conventions. Senator Allison
had part to play in the notable con-
vention which non mated Abraham
Lincoln, and that convention was in
Chicago also. But Senator Allison has
not been a delegate to convention
from Iowa since that time until now.
He has always put the honor aside for
others Once an Iowa delegation went

support Allison for president and at
other times it was desired he should
be the nominee. He viii now appear
as delegate himself.
Governor A. b. Cummins was the
Iowa member of the national republi-
can committee for a number of years.
He sat with Senator Hanna and other
leaders in the council rooms OF the
national committee en- many occasions
and planned for the national victories.
He has an acquaintance in the nation
second to no man outside of the con-
gressional delegation. The governor
was a delegate to the national conven-
tion at St Louis which nominated Nc
Kinley and he stood there for sound
money against the heresies of free sill

delegations.

ZASSALlTCH is RELIEVED.
Russian Commander on YaIu Disci
pIned for Disobedience.


st. Petersburg, May 1S.-It is an
nounced that Lieutenant General Las-
saltch has been relieved of the COM
mand of the second Siberian army and
that Lieutenant General Count Keller,
former governor of Ekaterinoslav, has
been appointed to succeed him.
Since the battle of the Yaiu it has
been predicted that General Iassalitch
would not long retain his command,
but there has been no disposition to
act hastily. The emporer's advisors
could not forget that while Iassalitch
did not carry out the plan of opera
tions previously determined u2on, he
had displayed stubborn resistance
which showed to the enemy and to the
world that the Russians had not lost
the courageous spirit of past genera
tions.
What will become of Zassalitch
whether he will remain in the far east
or be assigned to less important re-
gion, cannot be learned, but 1t is en-
phatically stated that there is no in
