INFANT DRUGGING.
A Bit of Medical Advice That Mothers
Should Heed.


Should Heed.
You may ask, why has the baby
pain il it is healthy and needs no med
icine" 1t is sick and in pain because
it has not been nursed properly and
carefully. The mother has been indis-
Greet in her diet, or, if bottle fed, the
bottle may not have been cared for
properly the milk may have been stale,
or it has not been properly prepared
The baby gets angry and cries because
some one has fondled it, made love to
it and now is not here to take it and
caress it as desired 1t is hungry and
cries because it has not been nursed
at the proper interval or either the
quantity or the nutritive value of the
milk is deficient. These are points
worthy of study in infants that cry
much. Prescribe little medicine, but
teach the mother few hygienic laws
In reference to the care of the child,
and do not allow her to give soothing
sirups Of any sort as they contain, as
a rule, either bryonia or an opiate
The harm done to infants by the use of
improper medication in the form of
soothing sirups is great indeed.-Med-

FretfUl Babies.

When the baby cries and frets at
night, instead of drifting peacefully
off to Sunderland do not give him
medicine at once. Try first some sim
pie, natural remedy. Spanish women
put restless infants to sleep by rub
bling their backs, and this method
should prove equally effective with
American tots. AS second resource
put the baby into a warm bath, which
will take all the congestion from the
brain and spinal cord, and the little
child will fall asleep In few mo-
mentS.

How a Child should sheen

One should not sleep with either arm
raised above the head. 1t is a pretty
gesture, as watched in the slumbers
Of child, but It is better, il not so
pretty, that the arms should lie by the
sides than stretched upward One
knows, when one stops to consider, how
fatiguing the attitude is if perseyered
in for a few moments Of reaching up
into closet or arranging high draper
les at a window, says Woman's Life.
What then must be the effect when
kept up t-sraslsshout the whole night?

Mind the Frnck.

Do not overrate your power of mind
and underrate that of your pretty
frocks, says modern philosopher, and
while he may excite the scorn of some
strong feminine minds there is not a
little evidence that many women of
emancipated aspirations have already
taken unto themselves this gem Of wis
dom.

Saves the Ice.

If you cannot afford an asbestus
lining for your icebox you will find
that it will materially lessen your ice
bill to lay old newspapers thickly over
the top and sides, but not on the bot
tom Of the ice. This keeps the warm
air of the room from striking every
time the door is opened, and as it
melts much slower the food in the
chamber below is kept at a lower tenn
perature

The EIhow.

TO remove callous places from the
elbow, soak them every night for ten
minutes i'll warm water in which a
teaspoonful Of boraX has been dis
solved. Then carefully dry and rub
with a good cold cream. If the habit
Of leaning on the elbows has been
formed it should be broken immedi-
ately, as it is this habit that causes
callous spots

simple plan. One ordinary cupful Of

C0tter ROundhOuSe.

The foundation for the round house, with the exception of the two wings, is practically completed and next week the frame work will be started says the Cotter Courier. The front of the completed building to the roof will be 30 feet high, and the rear side will be 26. On top of the entire structure will be a tower or ventilator several feet higher, bringing the total height of the building to nearly 40 feet.
 Work on the yard is delayed because of no steam shovel to get out material for the fill. A large crew of extra men is now on the ground to do this work. At point opposite the depot the fill will be extended south of the present fill about 50 feet, and from there to Third street will gradually widen, taking in the roundhouse grounds.

 She was found dead at the roadside with the revolver in her lap.

 State Superintendent John H. hinemon makes the following argument in favor of the pro- posed law:
 'One of the chief difficulties in checking the evil of blind tigers is in obtaining proof that the individuals have obtained United States license to sell liquor. The Humphreys bill, if enacted into a law, will give an additional means of putting a stop to the blind-tiger business in this state. No form of law breaking has a more demoraliz- ing effect upon a community than the blind-tieer business. Of course the whisky men of the country will organize to prevent the passage of the Humphreys bill. The people who are in favor of temperance, law and order should show their interest in the passage of this measure by communicating directly with members of congress and the United States senators on the subject.

catching cold does not come from mere
cold. but from unequal temperature
over the body and from undistributed
moisture. TO prove this he made
number of observations on occasions
