CLEANSING WATER.

The community being 50 careless Of

IN the preparation Of his food.
There are three ways Of household

Boiled water Is insipid, because mucn

is easily remedied After boiling the
water should be poured into clean quart
bottles which have been sterililed by
being boiled in aseparate vessel. each
bottle being only half filled. It is

A MOTHERS HELP.
An ideal Nursery Seat -or Use When
Dressing Baby.

An Ideal Nursery Seat Sor Use When
Dressing Baby.
This chair Is indeed mothers help
and in every way an ideal nursery
seat.
As shown ia the illustration, there
are two drawers, and they contain all
that Is necessary for the dressing OF
baby. The drawers are divided into
compartments 70 hold the safety pins,
powder pun, handkerchief, brush and
comb. feeding utensils and al the odds
and ends that every mother likes TO
have handy when making baby's toilet.
The real beauty OF the chairs utility
OF course lies IA the fact that when
all has been prepared for the bath
there Is no such thing as having to get
this and that together and the possible
risk OF forgetting anything. All that Is
needed Is 70 pull out the drawer before
sitting down, and when the actual
washing Of the baby has been accom-
pllshod a hand can be reached over
the side Of the chair for powder, say.
That can be replaced and the next
thing needed brought from It's resting
place. And 80 on all through. with the
result that the somewhat tedious OPP
