There Are Many Ways
In which a young mother can save her
strength IL she thinks and give her baby
the best of care. And that is the chief
health rule for all-save your strength; do
not waste strength in caring for your child.
You do not need to lift the child half as
much as some people may think He is the
better for a good deal of wholesome letting
alone.
Let him play out Of doors all the time on
fair days. If you have a piazza, we'll and
good. If you have none. lay a square of
boarding somewhere in a sheltered place In
the open air for a play place Cover all
the splintery boards with building paper or
old carpeting. Bawlcade for safety, and
you can be busy inside for long periods
or resting or sewing outside.
Plenty of sand. old spools, blocks and an
old egg beaten, always a fascination to baby
from the time its shiny wires can be looked
at until they can be twirled, for baby. and
you are free to watch him develop.
A nap in the baby carriage, still out of
doors. meals at regular hours, and you
have happy, healthy summer baby

for the same reason that flowers grown in
doors and in the shade are pale. Put them
in the light and the leaves soon become a

A Cure for Corns.

Sunburn-
May be dreaded by femininity. but, al
though for a short time it means inconven-
ience. it is in reality blessing. for the rea-
son that 1t draws to the surface of the
body and fixes in the skin a large amount
OF blood by dilating the blood vessels.
When one gets out into the sun and gets
the skin well burned few days later his
skin is darker In color than 1t was before
The brown color Is due to the fact that
there Is more blood in the skin and this
means that the skin has become more ac-
tive. This increased activity of the skin
means increased activity OF the entire body.
The blood vessels are dilated and the blood
remains in the skin.
There will then be less blood in the brain
and In the liver. which then can do their
work better.

The Ingenious Girl.
From Harper's Bazaar.

FROM 6azdr.
The day of lace and net. chiffon and rib
bon ruffied boas, has returned in renewed
force. These fluffy contrivances are very
becoming and very useful. as they give one
the effect of wearing wrap without the
warmth of it, Any girl with little inge-
nuity can make herself one of these. The
foundation is ribbon from three to four
inches wide. and on that the ruffies are
sewed. The ruff1es must, of course, be
shaped They should be much wider at
the back than in front. Chiffon in the
gray known as London smoke" makes
lovely and durable boa.
One Of the trials OF this trying month
is that the pretty summer outfit has lost
much Of its freshness The hems Of the
dainty white gowns are soileu.- the braids
of walking skirts are frayed, ruffles have
lost their crispness, bathing suits are
ripped or torn and badly faded. and during
these sultry dog days when one wants to
look particularly fresh, all ones belong
ings seem to share the general limpness
Happy Is the girl who has foreseen this
state of affairs and has kept at least one
of her gowns in reserve for the emergency
1t may be of inexpensive material and of
simple make, but its beauty and value are
increased tenfold when ii Is worn In all
its freshness among others perhaps far
more elaborate, but which bear the unmIs-
taxable marks of hard service.

swimming
Is pronounced by many the best of all ex-

Here Is a Way

Here Is Way
To make button holes in materials that are
soft and fray easily: Mark the button hole
with a basting thread; then stitch around
that thread on the machine with a fine
stitch, leaving a space between the stitch
ings to cut the button hole. This makes a
firm basis to work upon and prevents the
cloth from fraying.
The Width Of Girdle-
Must be determined by fitting 1t on the fig
ure. A slight figure. with small waist meas
ure, may wear girdle wide enough te
form corselet or bodice effect. while for
greater waist size a narrower belt will
prove more satisfactory.

replaced by handsome handmade silk en-

A Baby's Development

A Baby's Development
Should proceed according to certain ratio
During the first four months child should
grow one inch in length every month After
that half an inch each month until he Is
year old. when he increases in height less
rapidly. During the first four months he
should gain about five pounds In weight.
and after that pound each month until he
is a year old. when an increase OF half
pound a month indicates that he Is thriv-
ing.
The operation Of shortcoattng the baby
should not be done by any hard-and-fast
rule, but should depend on the state of the
weather. 1t is safe for the three-months-old
child to take to short dresses instead Of
long, flowing frocks in the summer time,
but In cooler weather the change may be de-
ferred for a time.
AS children grow 1t Is well from the be-
ginning to give them as little watching as
possible. Have your oversight, but do not
let it be in evidence to the boys. Let them
play naturally. Let them settle their own
grievances as far as possible. Give them a
regular allowance of money, and take care
that 1t is paid regularly. Do not help them
out If they fall short by extra gifts. but

Are excellent to put things away In. as in

They are excellent In polishing glass, cop

It is No Light Thing
To be good housekeeper. It is much to be
a notable housekeeper. No woman who has
mastered the art of housekeeping can be
called lacking In ability OF high order
But, having said this, let us plead with
the good housewife to be something more.
Every man and woman who really amount
to anything must be larger than his or her
profession. The profession should not alb
sorb the whole OF life's energies nor satisfy
the whole Of life's ambitions.
The woman whose soul Is complacent be-
cause her bread Is sweet. her windows pol
ished. her table well served. her apartments
spotless. and who has no aspirations out
side the petty range, the monotonous rou-
tine of household drudgeries. will one day
awaken to the fact that her soul Is shriv-
eled and poverty stricken. There will come
q day when she will be aware of leanness
and spiritual restitution. and she will be
ready to cry out: Woe Is mel have spent
my money for that which u not bread. my
labor for that which satisfleth not"

CITIZ NSHIP.

Porto Ricans have long occupied a
queer, anomalous position as regards
their lack of citizenship of the United
States, and President Roosevelt's de-
termination to urge the grant of citi-
zenship to them is meeting with uni
versal approval We have left Porto
Rico suspended between the heavens
and the earth in this matter, 1t seems
rather absurd that eight years after
the cession of Porto Rico the native of
an American possession, in order to OBJ
tain naturalization papers, is forced to
abjure allegiance to the King of Spain.
The Supreme court has given Porto
Rico Hawaii and the Philippines, the
'unincorporated territories, such a
queer character that they have been
and still are in the puzzle column,
where one mans guess as to what they
are or are not is as good as another's.
The fourteenth amendment plainly sets
forth status of United States citizen
ship distinct from State residence or
even from full territorial rights.
The Porto Rican, therefore, who so
long has been neither flesh, fish nor
good red herring, but merely Citizen
of Porto Rico, and as such entitled to
the protection of the United States"
must rejoice thai the word of the Pres
ident is so soon to be followed by the
deed. The special message which the
President is preparing, asking congress
to confer United States citizenship up
on the Porto Ricans, is the best earn
est that his recent promise to the ISL
anders was based on something more
than semi-troplcal courtesy.
