SOME DONT'S MOTHERS
OUGHT TO REMEMBER

Don't let anything startle the baby
IL you can help 1t. His little brain is
peculiarly susceptible TO shocks.
Don't put anything in his ears; don't
even wash them too severely.
Don't fail to teach MIN regularity in
his bodily habits from the first. II Is
entirely a matter of training.
Don't amuse the baby. nor allow him
10 he amusing during his first year.
Otherwise you may have nervous wreck
on your hands when he grows up.
Don't fuss over the baby, under the
impression that he wants companion
ship at his sleeping hour. He will do
far better alone.
Don't let him suck his thumb-it may
possibly change the shape of his jaws.
mitten on the hand is one preventive;
and some bitter, harmless substance on
the thumb is another.
Don't jump him up and down. Also,
remember that rocking and much car
rying are unnecessary.
Don't attribute crossness always TO bad
temper; is rather a sign that baby
isn't comfortable. In hot weather il
sometimes relieves his trouble to un-
dress him and give him freedom of mo-
tion. or to give him little cool water.
Don't expose a baby Of any size to
drafts. A little care will give him
pure air to breathe, without keeping him

Accomplishments until somehow they

But why not, since there are SO many

There comes to mind recent con-

which the writer-a woman, by the way
states that although for several gen.
erations the fields OF medicine and the
law have been wide open to women. "al-
most no woman has ever achieved any

comment closes with the statement that
women never have and probably never
can achieve any great distinction in

Then she married and moved to Massa-

NEED $4,000 FOR
PENSIONS IN 1912
SUM REQUIRED TO MAKE GOOD
1o1i DEFICIT AND MEET -sA-
CURRENT DEMANDS.

One OF tina questions that will en-
gage the attention OF the Legislature
soon after 1t convenes will be the one
Of making suitable provision for the
rayment Of pensions, making good to
the veterans, their dependent widows
and orphans the 10 per cent. that
was deducted from their checks for
1911 ON account Of the failure OF the
appropriation to meet the demands
imposed upon It.
The total pension appropriations
that will be required in order to
handle the situation during the pres
ent fiscal year will be Se2o, 00e. di-
vided as follows:
Pensions to pay In 1919. $4,000:
to pay in full pensions which had to
be prorated in 1911. $4,000: neces-
sary to add to pay pensions IN fall
for those now enrolled and probable
additions to the rolls, $4,000. In
order to make provisions for the years
Of 1919 and 1913. the total appro-
priation should be in the neighbour
hood Of 31.050.000. in order to prop
erly protect the probable increase in
the list during 1913. Owing to the
increased age of the veterans there
are more dependent now than here
tofore and applications may be ex-
pected to como in quite freely for
some time yet
The total appropriation made by
the last Legislature was $e65. 900. Of
which sS5.000 was needed to pay past
pension obligations.
