Wee I OTIS Of the Nursery,
How to Keep Baby Well During the Summer
Some Points About Feeding and DRESSING.

The problem of keeping the little tots OF
the nursery comfortable and free from
any of the disturbing ailments OF summer
peculiar to childhood Is a difficult one tcy
many mothers, especially in the larger
cities where the mode OF living Is such
that baby must take his daily airing In
the city parks or along the heated shade
less streets
Fresh air and plenty OF 1t, the proper
food. given at the proper times, and the
proper clothing these are the three essen
tials which mean comfort and health for
these little people.
The small infant whose daily diet is still
confined to liquids needs most careful at
tention. Bottle foods should be given only
under&the advice Of reliable physician.
for what may be life saver for one child
may prove wholly unsuited for another.
Some children require richer foods than
others, and only a physician Is competent
TO Judge In ma tiers Of this sort.
The next thing Is to keep the little body
as cool as possible. Goodness means com.
fort. and comfort means the right kind
of clothing, Happily, the long oyertrim.
med baby dress has long since gone into
oblivion. and In Its place we have the 1T
tie dress barely n yard In length from
neck to hem and of the simplest con
struction. Fashion says nothing about
the materials which enter into these lit
tie garments, knowing full well tina moth.
err love will make them of tile daintiest,
softest stufrs tunt purse can afford.
The difficulty In dressing q new babe
makes It important that the first little
garments should be as simple as 1t Is pos
sible to make them. Little slips of main
sock or dmity. open halfway down from
the neck, either back or front. finished at
the neck with the tiniest edging of lace,
are simple and dainty, and can be put
on and of With the least trouble 10 both
mother and child Sometimes the neck Is
finished witllsn bending and lace edge and
drawn up with ribbon. The little sleeves
arc fnlshed In like manner, Such gar
inent Is very easily Numbered. and 1t Is
most easily and readily adjusted to tho
small figure.
Pettieoats, too, are many times made
open al the way down tho front and
pinned over. SO that they can be
wrapped around the little body, Instead
OF being slipped over tho head or heels
The flannel band Is, perhaps, the most
important Item of the layette. where
health Is concerned. Under no condition
mo matter what tho thermometer may
registcr-lnnst this band be laid aside
Many physicians advise the wearing OF
tho band even up to the fourth year
One mother whose careful rendering Of
her brood of four hus come to the at
tention Of this writer, AYERS that she be-
glleyes she has laid a foundation for per-.
feet health for her little ones by the
use OF this same band, which all of her
little people wear untll{5the age II five

the cause Is found In the carriage which

HAD REASON FOR BEING.
How Lack of Flavor of Cranberries
Improved Turkey.

With all her wonderful fruits, Cal
ifornia lacks a cranberry worthy of
the name. A New England tourist
ordered cranberry sauce, with his
turkey one Thanksgiving day at a
hotel in Pasadena. An Odd-looking
and odd-tasting dish of stewed fruit
was brought to him.
What do you call this?" he asked
the waitress, a girl from the New
Hampshire mountains.
Cranberry sauce, SIR she an
swered, with faint smile of sympathy
for his evident listaste.
Cranberry sauce!" he echoed indig-
nantly THAT has no more the flavor
of cranberry than peanut has OF
a pumpkin.
Maybe not" she replied demurely,
''but you see it gives folks great deal
more reason to be thankful for the
turkey"

handing, his voice tense, his whole
being was powerful. The woman ut
terly collapsed and muttered one
word: Thomas"
Thomas" said Cheney. Il thought
so. Now, senorita, make clean
breast of it. The fraud has not been
consummated, and if murder has not
been done it may not go hard with
you
Womanlike, Senorita Silva told.
"Senor Thomas and | are in love.
We are to be married soon. He want

knew my brother Juan was not strong.
He would insure his life for 100000;
another strong man would be exam

die, papers would go in from Guarda
so DR.. Wilmarth would not be called
in; would have 100000, We would
pay Sanchez, the undertaken, $4,000
because Sanchez knew; then we
would be married and Senior Thomas
and l would travel. All, senior, believe
me, by my God, I am telling the
truth" And with this she fell on her
knees to Cheney.
Rise, senorita," he said, gently,
"and we will do what we can"
Taking the senorita with them, the
doctor and Cheney returned to Tor
reon, reaching there after dusk.
Bright and early next morning Che
ney hunted up the American consul
and made himself known. Together
they went to the chief of police. His
aid was promised and in short while
the three men appeared in Thomas
office. Mr. Thomas was smoking his
cigarette and building air castles
when Col. Cheney said:
Mr.. Thomas, | believer"

I'm Col. Cheney, representing the
home Office of your company. l am
compelled to give you into custody
for fraud in the Silva case
Fraud! Why, man. what are you
talking about?''
''Senorita Silva has confessed, Mr..
Thomas; Sanchez has decamped, and
your game is up"
1t didn't take long to convince
Thomas that the game was up; then
he showed his gameness and took his

stakes and lost. "San Juan de Ulloa
for ten years." was his sentence.
That meant death, because no man
ever lived more than five years in that
hell hole. Sanchez was caught and
received the same sentence. Senorita
Silva was pardoned by Diaz and took
the veil.
Cheney and King had a dinner in
New York later and Cheney said:

man."
