he had carried her unconsciously,

bruised slender little foot in his hand,

KEEPING BABIES IN HEALTH
Success of Tent Scheme Last Sum-
mer So Pronounced That 1t
Will Be Repeated.

Mothers of little babies that suffered
much from the intense heat in the
early part of July last summer will be
interested in the success of the baby
tent" scheme adopted in some of the
big cities.
The tents are placed on fiat roofs or
tall buildings and in open lots, with
eight little cradles or cots in each
tent When all was ready mothers
of babies under two years were invited
to leave them at the nearest available
tent over night, so that the young
sters, in addition to enjoying the privi-
lege of sleeping out of doors, could
also receive the attention of trained
nurses and doctors free.
Some of the tents have perforated
iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply. On very hot nights the water
was turned on and allowed to stream
down over the canvas. BY evapora-
ton 1t greatly reduced the tempera-
ture inside the tents. Some of the
tents were also kept cool by the use
of large blocks of ice in tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies comfort
ably COOL
This is the way some of the poor
babies are being cared for, but the
Ideas could be utilized by any one who
had the welfare of the baby at heart.

the bright sunlight streaming through
the narrow window before her. The
cabin was so placed that the sun did
not strike fairly into the room until
it was some hours high, consequently
she had her long sleep out entirely un-
disturbed. The man had made no eff
fort whatever to awaken her. What
ever tasks he had performed since day
break had been so silently accomplish

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
CALL MONEY AT ' PER CENT.
Several Leading Stocks Record High
 est Prices of Year.

New York, Sept, 25.-The feature of the day on the Stock Exchange was an advance in, call money to per cent, the highest rate of the year. The rise took place just before the close after number of issues, including some rep resentattve stocks, had recorded their best prices of the year. Among these were the Hartman shares, United States Steel and Amalgamated Copper.
 The sudden furry came in the midst of degree of activity greater than the market has recently shown. Deal ings in the first hour aggregated over 25000 shares, and the days total out put approximated 600,000 shares.
 Some justification for the money furry was found in the condition of the local banks. These institutions have lost steadily on the week, the drain since last, Friday amounting to over $5, 500, ,0e0. In addition the sub-treas- ury today had credit of almost S1,- 600, 900 at the clearing house. The clos ing price is partly offset by gold i'm ports. of which a little more than S1. 900 900 was received today. From present indications, however, the week end may show a cash loss great enough to wipe out the meagre reserves. Re cent activity in stocks will also figure tmporta ntly in the loan account.
