The Chfld's Bath.

Some children are timid about ven
turing into n bath tub. Often the
fright comes from being plunged bodi-
ly into water that is either too cold
or too warm. Sometimes this plunge is
accidental. One woman solved the
problem by laying large Turkish
towel in the tub and providing a small
stool on which the child could sit part
of the time. This was found very con
venient when the little girl was having
her hair washed. Instead OF filling
the tub with water, put little in. The
use of the bath towel to prevent slip.
ping is also suggested for elderly per-
sons. especially if you do not have a
gum mat for this purpose.

The best treatment for baby during

If the nerve centers and the brain get

RED SEA MIRACLE IS DENIED.
Professor Haupt Explains How
Israelites Crossed Dry Shod.


Prof. Haupt of the Johns Hopkins
University says the miracle of the
fleeing Israelites crossing the bottom
of the Red Sea dry shod was nothing
but q natural phenomenon. the water
of one of the Bitter Lakes, then part
of the sea, having been driven into an
other basin by strong east wind.
Prof Haupt said there was no doubt
that there was a water way between
the Red Sea and the Mediterranean in
those times, and that geological facts
proved it. The Bitter Lakes on the
iSthmuS, he says. were connected with
the Red Sea to such an extent that
they were a part of that body of
water. The spot where the Hebrews
crossed, he says, is the peninsula divid-
ing the smaller basin of the Bitter
Lakes from the larger basin. The place
is some miles from the northern end of
the present canal
Prof. Haupt's theory about Mount
Sinai is that the mountain was vol
cano, and that the sight of flames to
the Israelites was described as the
vision of God because none had seen a
volcano before.

Long, languid lines unbroken by frill,
Superfluous festoons reduced to nil,
A figure like a seal reared up on end
And poking forward with studied bend;
A shortish neck imprisoned in a ruff,
Skin-ftting sleeves that show a stint OF
stuff,
A waist promoted half way up the back,
And not a shreo that's comfortably
slack;
A multitude of buttons, row on row.
Not there for business-merely made for
show,
A skirt whose meager cores necessitate
The waddle of Chinese lady's gait.
A 'busby' toque extinguishing the hair
As if giant hand had crushed it there
Behold the latest mode, and write be-
meath,

sheath"
