And Now For a Sunbonnet.

The ordinary baby cap is another of

as will shade the eyes from the sun.

gazing directly at the sun, or at least
so one would suppose from the manner
in which the average baby is carried,
with the sunlight beating directly IN
his face A little sunbonnet or a wide
brimmed cap would be much more
sensible as a head covering.
If girls and boys are to have strong
eyes, the baby's eyes must be cared
for. Each year more children wear
glasses, and much of this defective Vi
sion is due to causes that might have,
been avoided in infancy.

Some Simple Remedies.

If the baby's eyes are washed out
with a solution made by dissolving ten
grains of boracic acid in an ounce OF
water, either when given the daily bath
or when put to bed for the night, their
strength will be increased. If the
eyes are particularly weak, they may
be washed out both at night and when
the child is given its bath. Be sure
that the acid has thoroughly dissolved
and shake well before using, applying
it lightly to the lids with a piece of old
linen. GRADUATED lids are painful! and
should have Immediate attention
Cleaning them with the horacic acid
solution is Il simple home cure If it
fails, try the doctor, for such condi-
ton should not be neglected. Never
let the baby lie III a draft. This il
often cause of eye trouble, as well
as of other weaknesses. If mothers
think there is any serious defect III IL
child's vision. they should see a physi-
clan about it, for many faults may be
cured If taken in time which will prove
incurable if allowed to run into years

prejudices? Good managers among
mistresses are usually impatient of in

Democracy will meet the appro,al o.

Jeffersons axiom. Equal rights to all

real Democracy. That answer was
complete. 1t made unnecessary the

AGREEMENT AT DENVER.
The Railroads Make Concessions and
Also Certain Demands.

Salt Lake City-An unofficial re.
port from Denver is to the effect that
the joint conference of the representa-
tives of the leading twelve western
railroads and the representatives Of
their employees have come to an
agreement between the roads and
their yardmen.
The agreement comedies the 2-cents-
an-hour advance in the wages of the
yardmen, providing the railroad
unions agree to certain conditions re-
garding overtime and the right of the.
roads to employ and discharge men
for what they consider to be good
cause, irrespective of the opinion of
union officials. The railroad represen.
tatives also demand that the conces-
sions shall not be used as club 20
the members of the telegraphers, con
ductors' and engineers unions.
Grand Master P. H. Morrissey, who
has virtually been delegated full
power by the yardmen, is quoted as
saying that, in his judgment, an ami
cable settlement would be arrived at
before the week was out.
