Exercise
Is as important for Infants as for older
children. young baby gets its exercise
by screaming waving its arms. kicking.
etc. The clothing should not be SO tight
as TO make these movements impossible
AT least twice a day 1t should be allowed
for fifteen minutes more the free use OF
Its limbs by permitting 1t to lie upon a bed
In warm room with all clothing except
the shirt. stockings and napkins removed.
Later. when In short clothes, the baby may
be put upon the floor and be allowed to
tumble about at will
A nursery fence two feet high made to
surround a mattress is an excellent device,
and makes convenient book stall for the
young around where 1t can learn to use
both arms and legs without the danger of
injury.
Only by exercise such as this have the
muscles an opportunity to develop prop
erly.
In the newly born infant the cry expands
the lungs. and II Is necessary that 1t should
be repeated for a few minutes every day
In order to keep them we'll expanded.
From fifteen to thirty minutes a day is
not too much crying. The normal cry Is
loud and strong. Infants get red in the
face with it; in fact, it is a scream. This
Is necessary for health. 1t Is the baby g
exercise. When the cry is abnormal 1t
ts too long or too frequent 1t Ia rarely
strong, moaning or a worrying cry,
sometimes nothing but feeble whine.
Pain. temper. hunger, illness and habit
are the causes for this cry. The cry of
pain Is usually strong and sharp. but not
continuous. 1t Is accompanied by contrac-
ton of the features. drawing up of the
legs. and other symptoms of distress
The cry of hunger is usually continuous
and fretful rarely strong or lusty. The
cry Of temper is loud and strong. and ac-
companied by kicking or stiffening of the
body, and Is usually violent.
The cry of illness Is usually more of fret
fulness and worrying than a real cry.
The cry of indulgence or from habit Is
often heard in the youngest infants who
cry TO be rocked, to be carried about, some
times for light in the room. for bottle
to suck or for the continuance of any other
bad habit that has been acquired. We can
be certain that child is crying to be in

If baby cries at night one should get
up and see that the child Is comfortable,
the clothing smooth under the body and in
proper condition, the hands and feet warm.
If all these matters are properly adjusted
and the child is simply crying to be taken
up, II should not be interfered with further.

The Useful Ice Cream Freezer.
rom the National Magazine

From the National Magazine.
Women sometimes get some good ideas.
l don't say that patronzing1y. I simply
raise my hat and make the statement.
Here Is an idea that occurred TO my wife
last summer, and one that proved itself q
great success. We had just moved out from
the city to a three-anre piece of land and,
like most town farmers" We wanted to
make our three acres give US every thing
One of the first things we intended to be
Independent about was our butter. We had
bought a good Jersey and she was giving
US nearly three gallons day, so We had
lots of cream, but hadn't bought churn.
Said my wife:
Whats the matter with the ice cream
freezer?"
said had never heard of butter being
made in that utensii She said that didn't
matter; she didn't see why 1t shouldn't be,
80 we poured two quarts of nice, rich
cream into the freezer and turned the
crank. Well, to cut long story short, the
cream became butter-at last. but 1t was a
long trip-nearly two hours.
The fact that the butter did come"
however. set me thinking. and now-well.
now wouldn't swap my big Ice cream
freezer as butter producer for the best
churn on earth With 1t / will undertake
to bring butter any day in fifteen minutes;

Into this pour all the cream that we
don't use and allow It to sour. II the wsath-
er ts hot allow Il sour away from the
stove On churning days I take my big
freezer and empty the contents of the
crock into It. In the place where the ice Is
generally packed. pour couple OF quarts

The Tendency

The Tendency
OF recent English and American decorating
has been to treat the hall not as hall. but
as dining room. Whatever superficial at
fractions this treatment may possess. its In
appropriateness will be seen when the pur-
pose of the hall is considered. The hall is
q means of access to all the rooms on each
floor; in the ground floor 1t usually leads
to the chief living rooms of the house, as
well as TO the vestibule and street; in addi-
ton 10 this in modern houses even of more
Importance II generally contains the prin-
cipal stairs of the house; so that it is the
center upon w.-ich every part OF the house
directly or indirectly opens.
This publicity is increased by the fact
that the hall must be crossed by the serv-
ant who opens the front door, and by any
one admitted to the house. It follows that
the hall in relation to the rooms of the
house. is like a public square in relation
to the private houses around 1t. For some
reason this obvious fact has been ignored
by many recent decorators, who have
chosen 10 treat halls like rooms of the most
informal character. with open freplaces,
easy chairs for Longing and reading tables
with lamps. books and magazines, and all
the appointments of library.
In most modern houses the hall, In spite
of its studied resemblance to a living room,
soon reverts to Its original use as pas
sageway: and this fact should indicate the
treatment best suited to 1t.
In rooms where people sit and where they
subsequently are at leisure to look about
them, delicacy of treatment and refinement
OF detail are suitable :. but In an ante-room
or staircase only the first impression
counts. and forcible. simple lines with a
vigorous messing OF light and shade are
essential.
These sometimes point to the use Of se-
we're, strongly marked paneiing inches for
vases or statues, and a stair rail detach-
ing itself from the background In vigorouA
decisive lines.
Cork Carpets

In room where child must spend the

sleeping hours. The bare floor IL desirable

all the desirable qualities They are about
half an inch thick and are laid on the

that 1t is stainproof. Almost any unfigured
covering for floor Is likely to become
marred by dents and the splitting Of LIQUIDS.
But the cork carpet is elastic enough to re-

easily washed out by using warm water and
cloth.
Sash Windows
Have the disadvantages of not opening
more than half way. serious drawback In
our hot summer climate. 1t is often said
that French windows cannot be opened
wide without interfering with the curtains:
but this difficulty is easily met by the use
Of curtains made with cord and pulleys. IN

New Furniture

New Furniture
The modern parlor should occupy q place
midway between the dark hair-clothed
room Of the Puritan days and the overfur-
nlshed one OF more recent years.
In fact. IN many homes the parlor ap-
proaches more nearly q living room, and
should be furnished according to those
lines. In this case comfort and durability
as well as artistic taste should be consulted
In the furnishings.
When the parlor was q room set apart by
Itself Into which the family seldom went
chairs and sofas were selected with little
thought of affording ease and rest And
even yet some strange incongruities are
found in them
No piece Of furniture should be selected
with more care than the chair. IL is not
enough that IL should be pleasing TO the
eye. II should be heaithful, durable and
comfortable. An authority on this subject
selected FIVE chairs, the prototypes OF which
SIN found In many of the living rooms
and parlors OF today and characterized
them as veritab.e uoustrosities.
A heavy upholstered chair without arms
or rockers was denounced as the worst
possible from the viewpoint OF health. Such

LACEY'S BILL GETS DITCHED
House Committee Opposed to Abol-
ishing Office of Receiver Of
Land Office.
Especial to The Herald)

Washington, May 4.-The house COM
mittee on public lands, by vote Of
six to five, today refused to report
favorably Chairman Lacey's bill to
abolish the office of receiver of United
States land offices. The bill was framed
by the department of the interior and
recommended to the secretary of the
interior and commissioner of the gen
eral land office, who reported that a
saving of over 100000 per annum
could be made to the government by
abolishing an Office detrimental to the
land service. Later these figures were
modified and an actual saving of $50. 600
was reported possible for the coming
fiscal year should the bill be passed.
The measure has received opposition
from western members of the commit
tee and at the meeting today all west
ern members. including Mondell. Dixon
and French, voted to table bill. Chair
man Lacey attempted TO secure an adj
verse report for the purpose of getting
the bill before the house, but his mo-
ton to do this was defeated 1t is
stated that an effort viii be made to
have the appropriation committee of
the house include no funds in the sun
dry civil appropriation bill for pay of
receivers of land offices for the COM
ing fiscal year and to insert an item in
the bill abolishing the Office.
