Tempting a Child to Eat.


THE guardians of finnicky child
know that meal time is often more
than matter of table setting and
food buying. Theorists say: Make
a child eat!" but mothers know that
this is often impossible until the little
one is reduced to sickness.
II will be found easier to tempt the
f1tful appetite rather than to scold or
punish. Delicate children can often
be coaxed into a hearty meal when
force work would mean scene. Make
the meal a play time. Serve bread
and butter cut into thin slices and
piled up log cabin wise into house,
and pretend the child is an ogre to
eat 1t up.
Name dishes for different rhymes,
as Jack Horner's pie for followed out
rolls cooked like croutons and filled
with the nourishing poached eggs. Po-
tatoes can be nodded into the form
of a wall with an egg perched on top
to represent Humpty Dumpty; the
child will quickly eat up the egg to
prevent "the great fall"
Boiled rice can be NODDED INTO

The game becomes of interest TO
mother as we'll as child. as the neces-
sity to invent new stories and fresh
forms to tempt the little one to eat
demands ingenuity. lnsensibly the
child learns to eat. so that later the
practice can be discontinued.

IF YOU want to lead a slaves life,
start out by singing your baby to
sleep every night.
Many women do this because they
like to do It. 1t is certainly a pretty
picture to see the young mother
grooming her first baby to sleep. and
one can hardly blame her for giving
way to the fascination and charm Of
these idle moments when the baby
drops off to sleep to the sound of his
mothers soft voice. But a life of
martyrdom is certain to follow such
indulgences. and when baby grows
older and Is perfectly able to sleep
without accompaniment. he refuses to
do so. and demands TO be sung to and
talked to and crooned to, and some
times gets SO interested and excited
grand finish of the story. And mean
while the evening is rapidly passing
and any pleasure IL held in store is
losing It's value. Provided a mother
is certain her baby Is not sick. she
should put the child to bed and leave
1t, not taking 1t up to induce 1t to
sleep. She should avoid sitting In
the same room. and II baby never
knows any other way than this of pass
ing into Sunderland 1t will make no
unnecessary demands.
II is better for a newborn baby TO
sleep In its bassinet. For one thing.
curtains may be fitted to shade It's
eyes, and bassinet is apt to be warm
er than a crib, besides giving the child
more support at the sides. And by
the way, good bassinet may be made
from large oval clothes basket. II
a crib is used, the sides should be
carefully lined to keep off the draught.
1t is most important that the baby's
bed be properly aired after 1t has been
slept in. But II Is also important to
have the bed clothes warm before the
baby Is laid between them to sleep. AS
soon as the baby is taken from the
room the bed clothes should be
stripped from the mattress and. with
the mattress, well aired at the open
windows for an hour or more. When
the child is put to bed. II the weather
is cold, the sheets should be warmed
before the fire. If this Is done, there
is no reason for the child being placed
between blankets. Blankets used In
this way are not apt to be as fresh and

Washington, Dec. 6.-The Sixty.
irst congress Of the United States
met at noon to-day for the first day
Of its first regular session, with Vice.
President Sherman in the chair of the
senate. and Speaker Joseph G. Can
non in the chair in the House. While
this congressional gathering is the
first regular session, it is the second
session in reality, for congress met in
extraordinary session last spring at
the call of President Taft to consider
the matter of a revision of the tariff.
Some interest was lacking in the
proceedings Of the first day in the
capitol because at the beginning of
the extraordinary session in March
last the speaker of the House was
elected. Moreover, before the extra
ordinary session was ended, Speaker
Cannon appointed all the committees
which are to take legislation under
consideration for the next two win
tiers. The appointment of the commit
tees ended the campaign on the part
of the members for choice chairman

Ready for Work at Once.
The members have had time to get
over jealousies and rivalries and so
is that, SO far as committee work is con.
concerned, the House not only is
ready to proceed at once to consider
legislation, but most of the members
have brought themselves into a frame
of mind to do what they are called
upon to do without regard to their
past feelings of disappointment and
perhaps, anger.
AS is always the case on the open
ing day of congress, admission to the
House and Senate galleries was by
card and only those fortunate enough
to know senator's and representatives
sufficiently we'll to secure admission
tickets were allowed to witness the
proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded.
The galleries of both House and
Senate were damned with people. All
classes of Washington society were

bers of the families of the president
and of the vice-president of the United
States occupied seats in the executive
galleries; and the cabinet and judici-
airy and army and navy circles were
we'll represented.
By rule which was adopted not
long ago, flowers are barred from the
floor of the House excepting when
they are to be used as tribute to the
memory of some deceased member.
The result of this rule is that now on
the opening days of congress the
