CAP AND GOWN DEFEATED.
smith College Girls Fix on White
 Dresses For Graduation.

Northampton, Mass, Feb. 13-For three days the members of the senior class at Smith College have been VOL ing on the question ofg-weartng cap and gown or white dresses with a req rose at graduation. The vote which was announced yesterday afternoon was overwhelmingly in favor of the white dresses. The campaign was con- duc+ed in a vigorous manner.
 The cap and gown adherents argued that their attire would save expense as rivalry in white dress is a burden to the poorer girls. The girls who Ia vored retaining the present style ot white dress with a red rose. said that each student had to have at least one white dress for the gra duation festiv- ities and that cap and gown meant only added cost. The real argument which doubtIess settled the question was the point made by the white dress contin gent that this is far more be, coming

HOME HEALTH CLUB
By DIR. DAVID H. REEDER, La Porte. Indiana

Baby Colic-Thousands of little babies are yelling as if to say: You, Home Health club. tell my Mamma to keep me e-from having the collie and how to stop it when do have it..
 Babies have collie, usually when be- tween six weeks and six months Of age, though they some times have it at two weeks. The trouble with the baby is generally antedates its birth and is caused, for the most part, by the carelessness of the mother, during gestation. in the matter of diet: She should during that time avoid all manner of food that is calculated to induce bilIousness and her food should be of tissue building character. Greasy should be especially avoided, and this should continue until the babe is weaned Plenty of fresh fruit should be partaken of by the mother, during gestation. but it should never be very acid. Cereals, fresh milk, eggs and all such foods as contain much albu- factors in building bone, muscle, nerves and all the tissues. This will help the baby greatly before it is born and will do much to prevent collie should be observed during lactation.
 When the baby has the collie simply give it plently of warmth Hot water warm clothing for the body and the bed are necessary. All this in pro portion to the attack. In general baby, no matter what the cause of it's gripping may be. and the relief will be almost instantaneous. Often merely placing the child'S feet in warm water and a cloth wrune out of hot water to the abdomen will bring relief. A hot water bag in the haby's he'd will bring soothing sleep and as continuous as necessary.
 Under no circumstances should raby ever be given opiates. More haTies are killed or ruined in mind and body. by soothing svruDs than in any other way. Paregoric. for in stance is nothing more than tincture of oDium-l Ia nd 2 nunn-cs mDhorated. and all the sootthing syrups are partly morphine or opium extracts Any

JAMES K. HACKETT COMING

One reads E'The Grain of Dust" by the late iIl-starred David Graham Phil ips, almost to the end before one understands the significance of the ti- tie Finally it becomes clear that the author had in mind the tiny grain Of dust that-faIlen in just the right pIace-can disturb and utterly ruin the workings of the finest watch in the world In this particular instance the watch is a big, strong brilliant mana modern lawyer, in all that the term rneans-a man of affairs nd the grain of dust is a. little lns'gnl- ficant blonde typewriter. But the re- suits are the same Louis Evan Ship man has dramatized the book and James K Hackett is playing it. It is q fine book. probably the best, as It was also the last-that this young author accomplished, So with such an author, such a dramatist and such a star success has been sure.

 SCORE AT LYRIC
Capital Interpretation of High Glass Drama by the
 Carpenter Stock Company

It is hardly possible to do justice in limited space to every member of the splendid cast who work so har- moniously together to make "The De- serters'' by far the best production given thus far by the Frank Carpen- ter Stock Company. It is called a four act drama, but there is mix ture of real comedy, with enough of the tragedy of human nature inter- woven to make texts for sermons object lessons which point the way to untold misery and degradatlon- Ihls a wheel so far as the acting is con cerned MT. Boshen made happy se- lections in assigning his parts. Mss Cleveland shows up at her best as a female detective who is detailed to hunt down a deserter and falls in love with her victim, but faces a stern bears him, turns him over to the Army.

 And in all the delicate points where proper support was most essential, Robert Conness did his best-and those who have seen him in the var ious productions at the Lyric know what that means.

SWEAT OUT ALL THE POISONOUS ACIDS BY TAKING A TURKISH
 BATH AT THE HOTEL ATLAS
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-02-13

one In this day of wide spread infor- nation should know that to give tender babe opium or morphine is very wrong. It is bad enough to ad- minister such things to able-bodied grown folks.
 Baby collie is not a dangerous dis ease, but it is unpleasant to baby and little less so to mother and father especially the latter when he has to walk the floor with baby during the night. But the hot water. and some good old, fashioned catnip tea will gradually relieve the little one. An almost magical remedy is obtained by placing a teaspoonful of molasses in a coup of hot water and giving the baby half-teaspoonful doses of that until it is Quieted. A drop of pepper mint essence in six teaspoonfuls of hot water is an excellent remedy. A droI, of essence of camphor in a teaspoon full of sugar dissolved in six teaspoon fuls of hot water and given in tea spoonful @ doses every " A ten n min minutes; is are running off and the collie cramps are very severe
 Another good prescription for the baby with collie is: Equal parts of oil of anise and oil of fennel. Five drops in a half ounce of hot water, admins tered through the nursing bottle or the stomach.- cause the baby to belch and throw off the gas.
