Simple Ailments of Children

The value Of warm baths and their effect upon nervous or fretful chill dren, whether in sickness or health. cannot be overestimated. Every in- fant, unless there Is some good req son, on the contrary, such as a skin affection or illness, should have two baths a day-one a tub bath in the morning, the other a warm sponge bath when put to bed. The morning bath Is conducive to healthfulness and cleanliness. the sponge bath at night Is most useful on account of Its Quieting and soothing effect. Neither bath should be above or below 9S degrees temperatures; at this temper ature there can be no danger from cold. The morning bath removes such deposits as have been excreted by the skin during the night, leav- ing the pores open and not, as many people suppose, making the child more sensitive to the cold. IL cleanses the millions of little pores. allowing them to exude certain oils which lubricate the skin and keep 1t throwing ofr refuse which accumu- lates in the circulation.

Lingerie Pillows the Fad.

Lingerie pillows, or rather pillows covered with lingerie slips, may not lull one to a pleasanter repose than those of heavier material, but they are the fad and must be had. no matter what the cost. Of course, they are perishable. Maybe that's the reason they are so well liked for woman's love of change may in- evitably be counted on. The new head pillows look as If they were made to rest on dainty divans. for their elaborate covers seem too law ishly elaborate for any other ser vice. They are generally of fine French handkerchief embroidery showing initials and delicate flower borders and wreaths, although there are many other forms of decorative hand work, some showing compli- cated designs In flowers that almost cover the pillow. When the linen slips are openwork a handsomer pill low covering is called for under meath than has hitherto been the rule.

Pathetic Little Dolls.

Some of the Indian women have a very pathetic custom. When an Indian girl dies her mother often substitutes a doll for the lost little one. She fills the empty cradle with feathers arranged in the form of a child, and carries this about as she did her child. grooming to 1t and ca ressing 1t. Sometimes, instead of doing this, she ties the clothes, toys, and other articles belonging to the little one, and, fastening them to the cradle board. carries 1t as she originally did her child. The Ojib- ways call these "unlucky dolls." be- cause they represent the dead; but the Indian woman's idea Is that the little dead child Is too small to find It's way to Paradise. and that by sub stituting the doll she will assist 1t tc get there.-Exchange.

It is especially enticing be- cause of the pleasure derived in first snapping the pictures and the sub sequent process of developing. One of the many small articles needed is the printing frame, which in itself is very simple in construction. This frame Is made of boards in two parts. with handles at the end of each part.

COMFORT SLEEPING POCKET.

Csb<I Combination for the Sports
 man and Out of Door Sleeper.
 The pneumatic mattress, for sev- erai years past, has been without question at the head of the chosen articles for a bed out of doors. But 1t has had the great drawback of be- ing damaged, and puncturable unless very carefully wrapped up in blank ct or clothing. The sleeping bag also has fairly come into it's own as the correct covering for out of door rest. So the makers of this thor oughly up to date sleeping pocket combine the two essentials, adding their own little schemes for compact ness. light weight and comfort. They take the idea of a pneumatic mat tress. but they reduce the size and thickness of the mattress down to a carefully calculated but entirely sat isfactory size for ordinary use. And instead of leaving the mattress out side of the bag to be punctured and punched, they make a pocket of wa terproof material, into which mat tress and sleeping bag are both in serted. And In order to protect the air sack from injury they furnish a heavy felt protector both underneath

governor, Wednesday night addressed a
large audience on the issues of his cam

nate with the common people, he said,
and cited oppressed Russia as an exam
pie. He explained his efforts personally
to bring about reform when, as Repub-
lican senator in 1900, he put in bill
to reform the auditors department,
which, he says, was killed because Mr..
Proctor was Speaker. Mr.. Clement
failed, however, to join issue on the ale
cations as to this matter contained in
Booklet No. 4, issued by the Republican
State Committee. He charged the Re-
publican party with responsibility for
great increase in current state expenses
the past twenty years; but his compari.
sons were not altogether fair, for he
compared the lowest non-legislative yeal
with the highest legislative year. IL
one breath he deplored the tendency il,
the Republican party to increase the ia,
