In the care of babies in the
summer weather, you need not
only knowledge, but vigilance,
and common sense. 1t is safe to
leave on the baby's undershirt-
the sleeveless kind, that is now
used for Misunderstanding the sum-
mer as the baby's lungs, stomach
and abdomen are, in this way, COW
cred with thin flannel. In fact,
all the vitals of life Except the
BRAIN, are safely tucked under
this flannel shirt, and SO are
guarded against dampness and
any draughts, or sudden changes
of weather.
Dampness is especially bad for
infants; it chills them; it gives
them Group If exposed; it gives
them cold in the head, aud 1t
makes them fret. If you keep the
baby's feet warm in damp wealth
er, and keep the chest and abdo-
men covered with the undershirt,
lit will be the best precaution
against illness.
If you send the baby out in its
carriage, put a thin veil over its
face, so that 1t may get the air,
but the dampness does not get into
its lungs, as the veil acts as q
sieve. After sunset is the time to
be more careful; the baby should
be indoors by 8 or p. M, and

Few of the modern languages
of Importance today retain their

English probably leads in this

THE DIVINE CHAMPION
BY Stuart B. Stone.

| In the town of Bradford there
were no other such spoilers as
Miss Letitia Summers and Boil
Porter, the young editor of the
Weekly Mercury. Miss Summers
could spell phthisis, quay and
metempsychosis just like pig
dog-cat;. and Mr.. Porter never
hesitated over the "a and the re-
in stationary and stationery. 1t
was for this that Miss Summers
always blushed when she encoun-
tered him.
The worst speller in town was
pretty Virginia Lee. Miss Lee
had been known to have trouble
with words like hyena, bouquet
and ostrich. But she had a way
of covering her retreat in maze
of rosy dimples and to the tune
of musical laughter that con-
quered even her conquerors-
though never could she conquer
the unyielding Miss Summers.

On the evening before the great
contest the editor of the Mercury
called upon Miss Summers. After
the usual preliminary bushes or
the part of the lady, the converse.
tion naturally drifted to the com
ing spelling bee.
Can you spell 'phantasma
goria'? demanded Miss Summers
Mr.. Porter ratified it off without
blinking.
You'll do" approved the lady
with a heart-sigh. "If I draw the
lot, I shall choose you first Of ALL

 Mueller became a constant and az gressive suitor. The maid smiled and favored his suit. All was roseate with him. He had practically decided op the minister and the place where the ring was to be secured as soon as he could save the money, when a cloud came over the happy courtship.
 The cloud was the mayor of Chicago, who is the brother-in-law of his be- loved. Fred A. Busse would not hear of his relatives marrying a telephone clerk. Greater things were in store for her. The mayor consulted with the relatives. His power was greater that the boys and the youth was for. biddea to call on his lady But de. spite these obstacles the pair met and as a result the wilful maid was sent to the seclusion of the convent at Rock Island
 There instructions were given that she was to receive no letters, which had not been properly censored by the Mother Superior and no visitor who did not have the official stamp of approval of Mayor Fred A. Busse. For weeks the maiden pined for her lover and went through the dull routine of convent life. A fev days ago Mueller who had planned well, took day oil and visited Rock Island. From a point of vantage above the convent wall he beheid his beloved and wig-wagged her his plan. She retired to her room in excitement and bushes.
 At midnight, when the convent was as still as a tomb. three pebbles were thrown against the window of Miss Lee. With her suit case in her treri. bling hands. she raised the window. A rope ladder was thrown her and on this she descended to her sweetheart. On the roadside stood big automo. bile doing It's best in a clumsy way to mufie its chug chug. In it the couple leaped and the chauffeur went accord ing to instructions full speed for Gary. The mayor has not failed to pay his respec,s to the bride and bridegroom and it is said that Mueller will not serve the telephone company many nsontas longer. A position in the city hall is said to be awaiting him
