Ths unklssed Massaohusetts Baby.

In a Massachusetts, house a spec
tacled dad is bringing up his first born
by rule.
A printed notice on the wall OF every
room In the house warns visitors not
to offend any Of these laws. Here are
its terms:
Don't kiss the baby.
Don't handle baby unless your hands
are very, very clean.
Don't bring baby's face close to your
own or to your hair.
Don't allow baby to touch your face
or hair.
Don't talk, breathe whistle. blow,
cough or sneeze into baby's face. We
want him to live.
Don't use your handkerchief to baby's
hands face or mouth.
To some these rules will appear COM
icai or stupid, but they are not written
as a joke or without thoreht. There
fore, any person infringing these rules
after having read them will incur our
displeasure extremely.
The baby is a year old now, and al
ready shows an Enthusiastically Harvard
accent, but his specialized dad is proud
est Of the fact that in all the twelve
months of his life baby has never once
been kissed.
Science Is all very well. But we sus-
pect that either baby and babys moth
err are keeping a secret from dad or
one young woman in Massachusetts is
about the unhappiest that ever lived

LIGHTING Mantle Liohts.

It IS not a difficult matter to adjust
the incandescent NANTES to the gas
fixtures, but oftentimes these aids to
light are destroyed when the match is
applied.
Hold the match at least an inch
above the mantle, and. turning on the
gas jet, let the mantle become ignited
from that distance.
The difficulty is that the match is
often applied too quickly and closely,
and so the delicate fabric Is injured.

The Perfect smuqaIer.

Collector Loeb has discovered that
peddlers who heretofore have been al
lowed on incoming ships for the pur-
pose of selling articles to members of
the crew carry Off In their packs much
smuggled goods and are really one OF
the most perfect instruments of snug
Cling the government has to contend
against. He has ordered hereafter that

Mr. Bryan's assumption that cor

DISTRICT NURSES.
Interesting Statistics Given at Meeting
of Association in Middletown.

A meeting of the board of managers
Of the District Nurse association was
held in Middletown this week The
reports of the work of the nurses
were very interesting. Since the found
ing of the society in 1903. the nurses
have treated 4,036 separate cases. For
the first three years 1913 cases were
treated. There has been an increase
In the number of cases treated In the
last three years as is shown by these
figures.
During March the nurses made SIT
visits This is little higher than the
average number. There were forty
new cases during the past month.
