Times been in the hands Of the eager

besieged with seekers after bird lore.
1t did not take Mr.. Schmid long to

participation in the bird chase he tele-

Wrong Feeding Is One of the Easiest Methods
To Make Children III Tempered and Cross

One of the prime and principal ways
of making children ill-tempered is 10
feed them wrongly.

said an old woman at a coroner's in

lady had chiefly fed the poor child upon
boiled bread. butter, and sugar"
The mixture first made him cross,
and eventually killed him. IT he had
been older he might perhaps have es-
capped with his life, but, even so, would
probably have lost his temper perma-
nently. A child fed In this way could
not be expected 10 be anything but

DUTY OF A WOMAN

Children Under Seven
Do Not Need Cold Baths

According to a well-Inown authority
on young children. no child under seven
years of age should be allowed to take
a cold bath. as the shock of the cold
water is often too Blu.h for the delicate
frame of an UndeveIoped child. For the
same reason sea-buhing is not good
for very young children, unless specially
recommended er ordered by a medical
man.
The best heat for a child's daily bath
is about 50 degrees Fahrenheit: that is
to say. just below the usual temperature
of the skin. OF course. many mothers
prefer their little ones TO have tepid
baths, but the heat of the water should.
as a rule depend largely, on the wea-
Their and the state of the child's health,

day. If after tepid bath a child al

NeDeSt Travelling Bag for Women
Is Whole Dressing Compartment

The newest travelling bag FOR fash
ionable woman is a whole dressing room
condensed into one small compartment
Everything that crowds the dressing
table and a great many things that have
their usual place on the bath room shelf
are compactly and neatly fitted into
ivory cases, stored in bottles with ivory
tops or held in place by loops in this
exceedingly handsome alligator skin
travelling bag.
TIE bag, YOU will be pleased to note,
IS almost square, rather deep and very
light and con2modious in spite of its
numerous properties. Ii is not nearly

convenient than a satchel. SatcheIs are

Articles for Toilet
An experienced traveller knows how To
make herself as smart and fresh look

car as in her own private one 1T home.
In the first place. her travelling bag

Of pins and jeweiry, and finally a trav-
cling clock, which has something to do
with a toilet, and smelling salts, in case
the air ia the dressing room Is sickeu-
inGly close, az It generally is.
There Is also a curling iron, which
can be used, If necessary, as IN most
sleeping car dressing rooms electric heat
ers are provided.

A woman ought not to take too long
over her toilet on the train, because
there is generally a string If other
women impatiently waiting TO enter the
small impossible place which is provided
for the fair sex, while, by some unequal
dispensation Of car designers, for men
there are enormous dressing rooms with
whole row Of mirrors and basins.
But woman will find herself feeling
much happier about her locks if she re-
treshos herself in the morning with d
swift rub with some toilet water or
alcohol and makes herself as neat ana
fresh looking as possible with the other
accessories of her travelling case.

the use of a bleach for removing tan

dangerous, as the latter is ram.

DOG DOES NOT ACQUIRE BARK.
Coyote Is Real Wild Dog That Can
Bark.

To the Editor of the Spokesman
Review, Spokane: Under your head
ing Peculiar and Pertinent | read
this: The bark of the dog is an
acquired habit. In his wild state he
never banks, but whines and bowls. y
If this were the only time have seen
this fallacy printed I would not per-
haps have taken so much note of it.
But, having seen this stated in other
publications I can not refrain from
correcting such ignorance in wild ma
ture.
The coyote | suppose is the near
est approach to the domestic dog that
exists In fact, he is a dog and looks
like one, but he has a short, snappish
bark, which he generally-but not
always-follows up with dismal
howl. His bark is so similar to that
OF the domestic dog that one might
be mistaken for the other. However,
the mistake will not be made by one
who has heard the coyotes bark two
or three times.
I am not giving this information
at second hand, as l have heard the
summing coyote many, many times in
California, in Yakima and here in
the Wenatchee valley. We hear his
bark and weird, dismal howl every
week, and sometimes every night.
