SUGGESTIONS For a ChiId's Room.

There are many suggestions which
are helpful in making the child's room
the healthfu!. cheerful. aesthetic do
main it should be. Above all things,
it should be simply furnished and the
color pleasing and restful. A splendid
idea was carried out successfully in a
childs room. At one end Of this room
@ platform raised one step above the
level OF the floor and extending about
six feet from the wall was thickly
padded with Il material that toned in
with the wall covering. This padding
also extended up on the wall for about
four feet. thus protecting the child
from all bumps and falls. Here he
played all day, beyond the reach of
drafts and out of harms way, says
Harden Thompson.

Points
for
Mothers
For Overanxious Mothers.

If overanxious young mothers only
knew what to do first in the case of
feyers and colds which attack their
babies many and many a doctors bill
would be saved. With the high cost
of living now confronting US, that is
an item to be considered.
Children have fever very easily; con
sequently il has not as much signifi
canoe as it has in the adult But. new
ertheIess, even slight fever caused by
eating too much cake at supper must
be watched or it may develop into
serious illness.
With the first signs of fever, the
flushed cheeks. glittering eyes and hot.
dry skin. 1t is usually safe to give
cathartic; then stop any solid food and
give an alcohol friction bath in the
following manner: Remove all cloth
ing and wrap a clean dry sheet or
lightweight blanket around the child.
Expose one small portion Of the body
at a time. beginning with the chest.
and apply equal parts Of alcohol and
water with the hand or piece of alb
skin briskly, but gently. with the hand
until it is entirely dry. Do not dry
with a towel. M0isten the skin again
and rub dry the second time. and in
this manner go over the whole body.
Allow plenty Of time for the skin to
dry in the rubbing. This reduces the
fever by the cooling effect of the rapid
evaporation, and the friction brings
the blood to the surface in health Civ
ing circulation.
Allow the child to drink plenty Of
water unless there is excessive vomit-
ing. Cold water helps to reduce the
fever and carry off the poisonous prod
ucts within the body.
If the fever has not been controlled
within twelve hours and the mother
does not know what causes it. so that
she may not cure it entirely, she
should not take the responsibility Of
treating the child herself, but should
send for the doctor. so he may have
chance to prevent serious trouble.
Fever always appears with a cold.
The best way to treat colds is to pre-
vent them To do this the child must
have fresh air every hour of the day
in all seasons. Avoid exposure. direct
drafts and wet feet.
Let it wear warm, sensible clothing
and give cold sponge bath every
day. Give only nourishing food. plen-
ty of sleep and routine exercise.

Hcaxed the Book Collectors.

Some years ago cruel hoax was
played on the ardent devourers of
booksellers catalogues. A number of
well known book lovers in France and
Belgium received a catalogue of IL

town near Mons. There were only 252
items in the catalogue. but all these
were unique examples. for. it was an

ROAD CONVENTION
IS WELL ATTENDED
Plans for Permanent I'M
provement of County
Roads Discussed.

Earl Crawford, joint representative
Of Wayne and Fayette counties, was
told what persons interested in good
roads want from the forthcoming SEES
sion of the general assembly in a large
ly attended meeting at Cambridge City
Saturday afternoon.
The principal speaker was Prof. G.
I. Christie Of Purdue university who
advocated the road system as worked
out by that institution. lThis plan in
volved a widening of the road and
spreading the gravel over the entire
roadbed instead of merely in the cen
ter. Then the road is to be regularly
draggd and properly drained.
NJ E. Mason presented a plan that
ELECTED much favorable comment. He
argued that road authorities be given
the power of purchasing road rollers
and working the roads properly with
them. Road taxes are to be paid in
cash, but it is specifically provided
that if a person wants to work them
out, he may do So and may then have
his road tax returned by the township
trustee The plan also advocated that
all township and county roads be plac-
ed on an equality. Mason held that a
patrol system of maintaining roads is
preferable to the present system.
G. w. Bloom, of New Paris, read an
interesting paper on Cheap Road Re-
pair
The convention received both Prof.
Christies report and that of Mr. Man
dus, but adopted neither. The conven-
ton instructed the state Legislators to
vote for a law making it necessary
for all road taxes to be paid in cash
to the county treasurer. The road work
according to the resolution, should
then be let out to road contractors,
who will be compelled to conform to a
certain standard for improving the
country turnpikes.
Earl Crawford was elected presi-
dent and John w. Judkins, secretary
of the organization. About fifty persons
from Wayne and Fayette counties
were In attendance.

Autos Collided;
Though No One Hurt

A serious accident was no doubt
narrowly averted Sunday afternoon
by the presence of mind of Mr.. John
Paulk, of Ocilla, whose big auto
collided with a baby Maxwell driven
by Mr.. R. V. Handley's young son.
The accident occurred at the inter-
section of Central Avenue and Grant
streets, where Mr.. Poulk turned the
corner to find the Maxwell coming
toward him and realizing probability
of an accident, stopped his car just
as the Maxwell run into him. There
were several children in the Max
well car, but fortunately none were
hurt, the only deplorable result of
the collision being damage done to
the baby Car,
Had it not been for the presence
of mind On the part Of Mr.. Paulk in
bringing his car to standstill, there
would undoubtedly had been per-
sonal injury to some of the occu-
pants of one of the machines.

We regret that in publishing the
following article a few days ago sew

erroneoneously credited to the lack
of knowledge on the part Of the

pleasure in presenting it herewith
to our readers In corrected form.

for the benefit Of those interested
Placing the voice and uniting the
register should be the first duty CT
the teacher Of vocal art The mo-
ment one finds a teacher does not
believe in hsad tones, she may be
certain such a teacher forces the
head notes with the medium voice
and in that way forces the vocal
cords.
The head voice is very difficult to
develop, but no voice can be durable
or expressive if not developed in the
head register. Without proper care,
the high notes y i'll always be forced
and shrill. Diaphragmatic is the
natural breathing and other methods
that are taught should be avoided
The mistake of parents allowing
their children to sing at an early
age when the vocal cords are not
developed, is the cause of the loss Of
many fine voices.
Timbre, and not compass, decides
the character of the voice The trill
is generally admitte to be the most
difficult establishment of singing,
and practicing for that should begin
in the medium register. II is i'm
possible to tell the time required for
training the vo:ce--that depends
upon the special physical quality of
each voice as we'll as upon the in

There is no such place, state or

The resolution repuoiates as

It was the sentiment of the 4, 900
delegates that preachers continued
to teach along the hell and brim-

to the contrary, and as q conse-
