HINTS FOR YOUNG MOTHERS
Caring for the Baby Is Robbed OF
Many Trials by Adopting
Rational System.

Young mothers usually know very
little about the care of babies, and this
lack of knowledge is apt to make the
task seem a very difficult one Let his
clothes be soft, warm and comfortable.
We often fail to realize how much
more sensitive he is to changes of
temperature than we are, and are not
careful enough to guard against them.
The room in which he stays should be
kept as near the same temperature as
possible, and well ventilated, but avoid
keeping him in a draft or he will be
apt to have the collie A healthy baby,
that has not been taught bad habits,
will be happy and colitented in his crib
the greater part of the day, allowing
the mother time to attend to other
duties, or to rest. He does not need
to be held in your arms all the time,
and he never needs to be carried about
TO amuse him. Few mothers are strong
enough for that task, and they should
never begin it. A great deal of worry
and many cross spells might be saved
If the mother would begin by having
regular hours for feeding and bathing
the baby. The bath should never be
neglected, for so much of his comfort
depends upon it that he will be rest
less and cross without il. Have the
room warm and the water just warm
enough for comfort. Get the bath tub
in. place, with towels and clean clothes
hung on chair before the fire, so they
will be at hand when needed, Batho
him quickly, and wipe him dry with u
very soft linen towel. Dust him un.
der the arms and any other places
that seem in danger of chafing with a
powder composed of ten parts talcum
powder and one part boracic acid, thor.
oughly mixed by sitting together two
or three times. This is very soothing
and healing, and when prepared al
home it is inexpensive, and one can be
sure to have it pure. Slip his clothes
on and fasten them with as little turn.
ing and twisting as possible. and if he
is not hungry he will fall into a quiet,
refreshing sleep.
When babies are teething they need
special care to keep them we'll They
should have plenty of simple and nu,
tritious food that is easily digested
The gums become swollen and the
mouth feverish. Give them a drink of
water occasionally and see how eager
ly they take it. ANY tendency toward
diarrhoea should be checked at once
III home remedies fail call a physician
without delay.-St. Louis Pepublic.

HINTS FOR HORSEMEN.

Clean out the feet of the horses after
the day S work is done.
Dry, dusty meal makes very un-
palatable meal for horses hard at work.
1t is easier to keep horse in good con-
dition than to strengthen him up after
he has lost his health.
Every time the horses are worried
their days of usefulness are shortened
A horse that never gained his liberty
by breaking his halter will never become
a halter-puller.
Large nostrils indicate good breathing
power, good lungs and good constitu-
tion.
Horses which are judiciously fed and
well groomed will stand double the
amount of hard work that they would
under careless feeding.
Road dust is valuable absorbent and
is good thing to keep around stables
In which the stalls are inclined to be-
come damp or wet.
When confined in stables. which al best
is an unnatural condition for colts. they
should not be compelled to stand upon a
hard floor of any kind.

MRS. DENlSON'S TRAVELS.
President of General Federation of
Women's Clubs Has Established
Unique Record.

Mrs. DENIES T. S. Denison. presi-
dent of the General Federation of
Womens clubs, is at present at her
acme in West One Hundred and Third
street, Manhattan, resting between
journeys. And she probably needs the
rest. For three months she was as con-
tinually on the road as a commercial
traveller In those three months she
travelled more than most women do in
a lifetime, and all without going out
side of the, United States. She crossed
the Mississippi six times. got almost
out to the coast twice and kept en-
gagements in Louisiana and Texas,
and engagements in Michigan and the
Dakotas. She visited % states in ALL
Travelled about 10000 miles, talked to
not far from 100000 women and came
home fresh as a daisy and having
gained weight during her travels.
That is something of a record even
for these strenuous days, and now she
has started off again to Florida first
and then To Arkansas and Tennessee
and possibly to one or two other places
All this, of course, on federation bust
ness. Who takes the place of presi-
dent to that enormous aggregation of
women must make up her mind to put
her own private and personal affairs
entirely in the background for two
years. And even that Mrs. Denison has
not done, inasmuch as her mother has
been very lila situation which she
did not foresee when she took the
presidency-and she has been drawn
hither and yon by a divided duty, and
succeeded in neglecting neither. But

A Preventive of Scratches.

Keep your stable dry. Prevent the
wind from blowing on the horses legs If
wet, when standing in stable. Keep the
curry comb off the horses legs below the
knee and hook joint. AS the horses leg
is nothing but skin and bone, to speak of,
it is very easy to cut the skin and lay the
foundation for a case of scratches. Use
big corn cob to run off the dried mud
and dirt. You will be surprised how
quickly it is done without the least dam
ger of cutting the horse S legs. Follow up
with a good brush, we'll applied.
Scratches are we'll named "curry-cc IT. b

horses for the last 40 years. and never

They Like to Be Ugly.

AS if nature had not been unkind
enough, the Thibetan woman heiehtens
her ugliness by smearing her face with
horrible black ointment to keep her
skin from cracking in the dry wind
Her dress is not different from her hus-
bands. Her crowning glory is her hair.
Plastered down with butter from the
part to the ears, it goes off behind into
a sunburst of small braids to which is
fastened a great fan-shaped headdress
falling to the hem of her garments. 1t
is of spreading strips of red and blue
cloth joined horizontally by iron
bands and ornamented with countless
coral and malachite beads. silver coins,
and tiny bells. The one poetic thing
about a ThibetSn lady is the sound of her
gong-a soft, rlelodiors tinkle, belyins
the grotesqueness of her face.
