BAH

So often baby's bath is fatiguing to
his mother and horror to him.
A good way to make his bath a joy
is to put his toys in the water-some of
those brightly painted ducks, fish or
turtles which swim after a magnet.
Show him how to sail a boat in the
water Give him rubber doll or ami
NAL to scrub with soap and washrag,
or make fleet of ships for him from
paper
Take him to the bath as though he
were going to have the greatest fun
undress him with chat and laughter,
and the playthings will do the rest.
Such methods will eventually induce
the child to love the tub as much as 1t
was formerly dreaded, and will GER
tainly economic mothers strength.

ruoks for Summer Gowns

According to Paris, and from what
one can judge from Paris-made
dresses, nuns tucks are fast coming
into fashion again as a trimming for
the bottom of skirts. They are pretty
and extremely inexpensive, for they do
away with the need of embroidery,
braiding or lace. 1t is said on excel
lent authority that simple little dresses
of white and pale-colored batiste and
washable tulles trimmed almost eX-
clusively with tucking will be one of
the fads of the summer, They look
attractive certainly. Some of ther1
have the waist and upper part of the
skirt tucked IN groups of four or five
narrow tucks and with two or three
deep ones above the hem Most of
them were made quite short, with the
high waist-line skirt, Dutch neck and
long sleeves and were worn with pretty
sashes of ribbon or messaline. They
are very inexpensive little frocks, but
most satisfactory as sort of fitters-in
between other even simpled or more
pretentious dresses for warm nights
and informal occasions.-The Define

A RAT HER HAT

A young woman who had chronic
objection to wearing rat" to make
her hair fluffy, found the present style
of hats beyond her. Her Upholstered
hair allowed the headgear to become an
entire extinguisher, to a point that was
ridiculous.
AS a happy experiment. the girl fas-
tened the offending rat" under the
front facing of her hat, which promptly
stopped the sinking to the wearer' $
chin. This novel rat-wearing has the
added advantage of not overheatlng

HEALTH-elvlNe SUNSHINE

The hygienic and curative effects of
sunshine have been found in the rays
of the incandescent electric lamp by
Miramount de Laroguette, a French
medical man. These rays increase the
growth of plants, while destroying low
forms of bacterial and in men and
other animals they cause marked slim
ulation of circulation and skin, increase
sweating and cellular activity, and re-
duce pain. They may heat the air to
$50 degrees. The light baths have a
sedative action in nervous diseases and
lower the blood pressure and are par
ticularly useful in chronic inflamma-
ton, the after effects of infectious dis

LAW TO FORBID
SCHOOL FRATS

Des Moines, Jan 9.-The state leg
islature will be asked to pass a law
absolutely prohibiting fraternities in
every high school of the state. The
law was drafted by the educational
commission and contains three sec
lions which will settle the fate of
school frats for all time. They make
it a crime for any student to be a
member of any student secret organi-
cation or to solicit pupils to join.
No frat member will be permitted
to enter any high school in the state
as student.
The secret organizations which still
flourish in the state. declare they will
fight the matter on the grounds OF
unconstitutionality, and may take it
to the highest courts.

years old, son of A. A. Meadows, was
shot and instantly killed, accidentally
it is believed, on the street less than
block from his home, when his foot
slipped and one of two shots which
he fired entered his brain.
A boyish spirit of recklessness is
supposed to have prompted the boy
to draw a revolver from his pocket in
the presence of a number of COM

slipped, and one bullet took effect

brain.

BULLETS IN HEAD
TELL OF MURDER
MIL WAUKEE MAN is SHOT AND
PERHAPS FATALLY WOUNDS
ED IN CHICAGO.

Milwaukee, Jan. AN attempt to-
murder Arthur H. Campbell of Mil
waukee was made Thursday night in.
Chicago and the police of that city
are now investigating a case that is a
deep mystery.
Campbell, who lived here until eight
months ago, is at the point of death
in the Alexian Bros hospital. He
has two bullet wounds in his head
and there is little hope for recovery.
Thursday at midnight Campbell
staggered into garage on Oakdale
avenue, Chicago, in a dying condition
from murderously inflicted wounds.
He mumbled a few words and since
then has been unconscious AT first it
was thought Campbell was injured in
an automobile accident, but the police
soon learned that this was not the,
case and investigation followed. That
an attempt was made to murder him
is now the belief of the authorities.
William G. Campbell, for many
years a well known shoe dealer here,
was the father of the victim. The
elder Campbell died a few years ago.
Two years ago Campbell received
$4,000 as his share of his fathers
estate. Theobald Often, former con-
gresham, was trustee for the estate
and looked after all business connect
ed with it.
