Go. Goes the Limit

Cincinnati. Dec 8. = The United
States circuit court of appeals has de
rlared the Continental Wall Paper com
pany "the most complete and ingen-
lously organized trust that has come

Judge Thompson, of the district court
TO recover $4,000 from Louis Voight
e. Sons, Of Cincinnati, for goods sold

The game Of craps" is an old one.
Is the word itself a corruption Of the
French ''creps," favorite game in the
gambling halls of the Palais Royal in
the eighteenth century? BeschereIle
says it was a game played with dice
and of English origin; that the name
was sometimes written "krabs" and
the word was spoken when one sue
ceeded in throwing 2, 8, II or 10 at
the first cast. English dictionaries shed
little light on the subject, and we do
not remember any allusion to the game
in novels or plays of the eighteenth
century. Boston Herald.

places have always had a good word
to say concerning the treatment of
windows in these charming habita-
tions. The easement blind and the
window seat are as constituent a part
of the scheme of an English cottage or
even of the most pretentious rural
dwelling as is the veranda in this
country. It is a marvel that they are
not more popular in American subur-
ban homes.

child's disposition. After you have
found out there is nothing the matter
with the infant let it cry itself out, and
the occurrence is not likely to be re-
peated often.
Teach the child to do without feed
ing as much as possible during the
night After the first few weeks one
meal between 10 and is all that
should be required Night feeding is
one of the greatest causes Of wakeful-
ness.
Don't leave the bottle in the crib

Remember that regularity in feeding

According to the testimony upon
which Gillette was convicted he Sc

a short trip to Big Moose lake, took
her out on the lake in a boat, threw

A Few Hints For the Benefit OF the
Young Mother.
Don't keep the baby too warm. 4
great many mothers seem to act on the
supposition that young child is a hot
house plant. They cover it with clothes
and blankets so that it becomes deli
cate and most susceptible to cold.
Take the baby out every day, sun
shiny or otherwise except when it ac-
tually rains. If for some reason it is
impossible to take the child out, draw
the crib up close to the open window,
first covering the little one carefully,
and let it stay there for half an hour
or so.
Don't run to the baby every time 1t
cries. By so doing you are making a
