THE FIRST DIP
1t Is Often a Terrifying Er-
perience for Children.

Persons of humane instincts who have
seen anything Of life at the seashore will
appreciate the protest of Dr. J. p. c. Grif-
feth in The Care Of the Baby" (the w. B.
Saunders Company, Philadelphia against
the practice INDUCED in by a good many
thoughtless persons Of pIunging unwilling
children into the surf
TOO much cannot be said" writes DR..
Griffith, against the exhibition of basest
cruelty which may often be seen-a father
or mother carrying screaming, terrified
little one of tender age into the breakers.
The exposure TO the cold water and the ac-
ton Of great fright can be nothing but
very injurious The only fit place for in
fants to take a salt bath is the tub, and
the action Of salt water seems often 10
produce a peculiarly beneficial effect upon
weakly children.
There is no harm, however. in dressing
a child Of three years Of age, or even
younger in bathing clothes. protecting 1t
from the sun by bathing hat Of suitable
size. and allowing it on a calm. warm day
to paddle in the ripples on the sand or TO
play in the pools Of sun-warmed water left
by the receding tide. In this way the
childs confidence in the harmlessness Of
the water is established. and at the same
time the good effects Of sea bathing are
gained without fright.
THE mother must never forget 10 watch
carefully against chilling by too long a wet
ting or by exposure TO strong winds in
moist clothes. Older children who have
acquired love for surf bathing or fresh
water bathing would apparently remain in
the water forever If permitted to do so. The
mother must enforce a limitation Of the
bath TO ten minutes at the longest IL the
water is coof, or twenty to twenty-five
minutes il warm.
"Chattering OF the teeth and blueness OF
the lips are indications that the bath
should cease, no matter how short it may
have been. The after effects are still bet
ter guide in the matter. Exhaustion or las
situde during the rest Of the day renders
necessary a reduction Of the length OF the
baths or OF their frequency. Not every
child can bear daily outdoor bath.
In the case Of sea bathing IL is important
to guard against blows OF the breakers
against the ears, since injury TO the drums
may result. The mere gentle entering of
the water into the ears is harmless"

LICENSED GRAFT
The Old-FashiOned Donation
Partu Takes Nezc Forms.

There are two forms Of licensed graft
began the woman who lives in the suburbs,
that are particularly popular in our COM
munity Every spring with renewed vigor
they break forth among us; yet no one
seems bold enough to voice the protest
that each one of us inwardly feels.
THE first of these evils is a shower an
attractive species Of donation party, much
extolled by the women's magazines. At
first blush the idea seems a pretty one.
After a girls engagement is announced
one Of her intmates issues dainty invita-
tons to number of the bride-to-be's near
est and dearest friends, bidding them to
luncheon or tea in honor of the expectant
bride. The corner of the missive bears the
salient legend, Linen Shower, by which it
is understood that each guest is invited TO
bring with her a piece of linen, perhaps a
dolly, a centrepiece or hand embroidered
towel, as a contribution for the wedding
chest
The glad day arrives; the hostess, the
bride-to-be and the invited guests are
present in their prettiest clothes, the re-
ings are many and beautiful, delighting the
heart Of the surprised recipient, who Is
overcome with emotion at the generosity
Of her friends. and the whole occasion
exudes JOY and good fellowship-on the sur
face, at least. AS a matter Of fact, the
enthusiastic individual who plans the party,
in her praseworthy desire TO have the gate
receipts as large as possible, Is wont 70
summon 10 the feast a number Of persons
who unsolicited. would have never felt in
spired to contribute to the brides wedding
outfit Moreover. this is the sort Of op-
portunity 10 give that it seems Impossible
to decline. inasmuch as if one finds It
inconvenient to attend the love-feast in
person. It always seems allowable to be
represented by ones gift, apparently an
offering on the shrine OF friendship, but
one which more often than not proceeds
from a very uncheerful giver. The brides
best friends are fully aware that their
bits of linen will not take the place or
wedding presents-obligations which must
be paid in full later on-and though out
wardly all smiles. inwardly they are Ia
nenting this extra and enforced levy on
their pocketbooks. And there are so many
brides every spring.
THE other form Of graft which ought "a
be taboo is the childs birthday party
When the roses begin 10 bloom. one morn
ing little Bessie or Jennie comes TO school
with a sense Of importance and distributes
invitations among her favored classmates.
The pleased recipients carry them home
to their mothers and each mother as she
reads observes with a sense of misgivinS
that her little Mildred or Johnny, as the
case may be, is invited 10 sui another
birthday party; which entails the purchaa
ing by each mamma Of suitable GIT Tor
the happy little hostess; something not TOO
expensive, and yet which can hold its own
in comparison with the presents brought

Does IL not seem strange that certain
well known druggists who have sold and
recommended DeMiracle so highly for
the past several years. because OF its
recognized merit. should suddenly con-
clude 10 discontinue selling IL?
We learn that these druggists. with
their recent affiliated interests. are telling
their customers that they cannot procure
DeMiracle. which, of course. naturally
leads them 10 believe that II is no longer
manufactured.
Therefore, for fear that this false inn
pression may be created. We deem II ad-
yisable 10 caution the public against
being influenced In any manner by these
false statements.
When you are told By these druggists
that DeMiracle cannot be procured, why
not say: Doesn't IL seem extraordinary
that large dealers such as you cannot
get IL when Il can be purchased at the
smallest country drug store?" and II you
are not supplied you will go elsewhere
where they do not resort to making mis-
statements.
Right here let US say that we are re-
Uahlv informed that 1t is the purpose OF
these interests In the drug business 10

PREPARE MEET Of
WESTERN FORESTERS

Portland, Ore, Nov. 27.-Beyond

ciating to the disciples of utility to
see the Niagara Falls wasting all its
power. They want to bury 1t with
factories and smokestacks. That Is
what they call economy as opposed to
poetic dreams. But to him who can
value something besides money, it is
aesthetic impropriety, primitive cras-
situde, and impious sacrilige. If "as
, well kill man as kill good book" it
: is no less criminal to destroy mas
terpiece painting so impossible OF re-
production as Niagara Falls. So con-
taminating is the nauseating pleath-
ora of utility that we do not care for
Gala lilies any more; we want celery
so we can eat it.-so shamelessly Is
this bald barrenness of money get
ting" The most pathetic aspect,
however, of this deplorable miscarri-
age of American intelligence is its de-
gree of hopelessness. 1t is the nature
of blindness to be unable to see. The
conspicuous demerit of ignorance is
its incapacity to comprehend. Thus
the bold secularist actually recrimi-
mates those who seek, "a harmonious
expansion of all the powers which
make the beauty and worth of human
nature" Such emphasis of the po-
etic, says he, threatens to crush out
our practical sense. But we are GER
tain that cultivation of the finer
senses in no way destroys the prac-
teal Rather it sweetens and beauti-
flies practical routine. The man "whose
pleasure grows out of his work like
color petals out of fruitful flower

ity of his call and sees the sublimity
of his toll.
