The Baby's Pen,

In such device mother may place
her little one, with its toys. and the
child will he quite content for hours at
a time while the mother is saved wor-
ry and anxiety by knowing that her
baby is safe.
Have you ever noticed an older per-
son walking on the street pulling a
child along by the arm: Have you
stopped to remark on the way in which
the little arm is held. so high that the
chld's whole weight is resting on the
shoulder muscle which connects the
arm to it? Or perhaps yOu are one Of
the groups who help children along in
that way. If you are just stop to think
of what you are doing
The strain put on that young muscle,
much more tender than is your own
arm, for instance. is enough to cause
the muscle to give way. No child
should be hurried along. He knows
just how fast he can walk, and it is
only harmful to force or to drag him
Lifting him by the arm or arms In such
way might result in permanent in
jury.
Here is another suggestion to save
the young muscles from OVERRIDING: A
child should never be allowed to lift or
to carry anything which he cannot raise
with the greatest ease. Such straining
has been known to result in injury that
undermined the health for lifetime.

Point
for
Mothers
Oil Bath For Baby.

|
This story begins like fairy tale 1t
| Is not fairy story at all. but plain
statement of very important subject
/ the oil bath for a delicate child.
Once upon time there was born
tiny baby.
At birth this little mite Of humanity
weighed less than five pounds, and the
4 physician. nurse and parents all de
/ SPARED of her life.
/ The chld's mother was a frail deli
cate little woman who, after a few
/ weeks, was forced to stop nursing her
infant daughter.
/ 1t was only by the most infinite care
that babys life was saved when this
/ calamity befell her
I Pure fresh cows milk was modified
mud pasteurized. and by careful study
i Of proportions a food at last found that
/ agreed with the little one.
Even then much difficulty was en-
countered trying to get the baby to
| feed from nursing bottle, and the
troubles of mother ana nurse were
many.
Baby lost weight. not much, but q
gradual decrease was noticed until one
week showed a loss of one and half
ounces.
| 1t was while the mother was bathing
her tiny baby one morning that an old
colored woman who had nursed the
mother and grandmother before her
came in to see the new arrival in the
family.
1t only took minute for old "Mam-
my Harriet" to see the condition of the
child. Raising both hands to her head,
she said: Land, honey. you must ruo
dat chile wifi goose grease If you wants
her to live. Yes. ma'am. rub her all
over wifi nice warm goose grease an
git some fat on her pore little bones"
Old Nanny Harriet then went on to
tell how one of her little charges had
been very near the borderland of heav-
en- when she had started to rub the
child with goose fat or mutton tallow
every day, and how it had waxed fat
and strong as a result Of the treatment
The little mother thought it no harm to
try, but instead of using animal fat she
warmed tablespoonful of olive oil
and bathed the baby's body all over
with 1t Just before the little one was
put to bed.
A few days showed marked change.
and at the end OF the week she had
regained the lost ounce and half.
Physicians agree that the oil bath is
excellent for delicate children.
| When the child is very puny it Is a
mistake to battle the body every day
with warm water. using soap. A lath-
err of soap removes the natural oils
from the skin. thus decreasing the fats
of the body.
Cleanse all soiled portions Of the
baby's body with warm water and a
| little pure soap. but give sponge bath
OF clear tepid water over the rest of
the body. At bedtime give baby a
thorough rubbing with pure warm
| olive oil.
| This is a good rule to follow when
older children are recovering from an
| illness. are suffering from pulmonary
troubles or are anaemic.
| An oil bath taken daily will put flesh
on person as nothing else will do
| Try it for your delicate child.

"6aby Bunting" Sleeping Garment.
Now that the healthful habit of Sleep
ing out Of doors has become so general
that even the tiniest babies take their
daytime maps as well as all night sleeps
in the open many devices for keeping
their little bodies properly protected
are suggested in the shops One OF the
most attractive seen is sliplike gar
ment called a baby bunting" fash
Toned of white eiderdown. with edges
bound In ribbon pink or blue. The gar
ment Is closed below the feet. and the
head is covered with red riding hood

and kept there with only the wee face
visible. The garment is sleeveless. thus
prev enting the possibility OF cold hands.

In Central America many natives are
gathering the seeds Of this plant, Cedron
Seed, a rare medicine that has valuable
curative powers. But few drug stores
carry this seed, owing to the high cost
of the article.
This country is large consumer Of
this costly seed because it enters into

Senatorial Primary.

Expressions from both Senator c. w.
Watson aud Hon. John T. McGraw IN
favor of primary election in West Vir-
ginia for United States Senator are given
in our paper today. Both agree as to
the matter of holding such an election,
but differ as to the time of holding it.
Taking it for gran ted that such an cleo
ton will be held, it does not strike us
logically that it should be held after the
regular election next fall, with great adj
ditional expense which must fall on some
body other thar the State government
The date ofthe regular State and nation
a lelection, 1t seems to us, is the proper
time for holding this election, and thatif
held then it will give more universal sat
isfaction than at any other time. A pr,-
mary election held later will certainly
not be satisfactory to the rank and file
of the West Virginia Democracy.

Such was the attractive title of the en-
tertainment given at the New Opera
House on Friday evening last, in cele-
bration of the Lee Jackson birthday au-
niversary, under the auspices of Lawson
Bolts Chapter, U. D. c. The central
attraction was Miss Louise A. Williams.
pretty, attractive and talented young
Georgia girl. who won repeated and ar
dent applause by her clever lmpersona-
ton of thes negro character. The fine
home talent-Miss Harper of Powhatan
College IN vocal solos and Messrs, Full
ton, Moore, Pearman and Dick in vocal
quartettes. with Mrs. T. M, Baker at the
piano-added much pleasuret to the occa-
sion. Miss Williams was introduced to
tue audience by Rev. J. S. Aliriepd.
who paid high tribute to the name OF
Robert <. Lee. The stage was beauti
fully and tastefully decorated with Con
federate flags by the decorating commit. |

Col. c. Frank Gallaher got down town
for a while Saturday afternoon, and.
much to our pleasure, dropped into the
Spirit Office and gave US a long chat.
We don't know, but it mustIhave been an
inspiration from the long ago that drew
him here to talk over old times. when we
were both young and the skies bore their
brightest hues. Somewhere near a half
century ago Squire Gallaher. then a
spruce young man just out of the Confed-
crate army, and George Lee Stewart,
one of the most genial men we ever knew,
were wont to drop into the newspaper
offices here, and. just for the fun of it,
set up quantities of type. The splendid
Stewart. like the then editor the Spirit

Benz. F. Beall, is long since dead, and
