Fewer Strong Men Found Among Recruits of TODAY

DECRUITS in the army are deterior-
N ating in physical standards since
the days of the Civil war, according
TO Captain Harold w. Jones and 9TH
er officers of the army medical corps
During a recent investigation meas
urements of 500 recruits were examin-
ed, and 1t was found that the per-
centage OF strong men enlisted is by
far the lowest at the present day, only
81 per cent, as against 81 per cent
in 1875
The men considered weak at the
present time are 43 per cent. as
against 10 per cent in 1875. At
tention is called to the fact that the
percentage of foreign-born recruits
has fallen from more than 60 per cent.

AROSE TO THE EMERGENCY
How Engineer Proved Worthy Of His
Position When the Occasion
Came to Try Him.

The engineer OF a Chicago suburban
train showed the other day that cool
and experienced head is equal TO almost
any emergency. A side rod had brok-
en-, and with every revolution OF the
wheels. was demolishing the cab and
the mechanism by which the engine is
operated. He was able TO shut of the
power, but the airbrake control had
been destroyed. and the train went
dashing on. Having done all that
mortal could do with the apparatus
that was left intact. he left the cab.
climbed over the coal in the tender
and swung down on the platform OF
the first car. There, reaching for the
air cord. he brought the train to a
stop in a few hundred feet. IL he had
whistled for brakes the train crew
might not have responded in as little
time as II took him 10 do the thing
himself.

There is a distinct knack in the
method of lifting and holding the
baby.
Both hands should be used, for in
stance, ia lowering the baby from the
lap to the bath. For the greatest COM
fort one hand should support the
babys back, while his head rests
upon the lower arm or wrist
The legs and lower part Of the
child's body are lifted with the other
hand
Before putting the baby into the
bath wash the child's face and head
so that no soapy water can get into
his eyes or mouth
Not every mother has the art Of
making her lap comfortable. When
dressing the baby it is best to sit in
low rocking chair without arms,
with one foot upon stool in order to
deepen the hollow in which the child
lies.
If a child's feet grow tired in warm
weather they should be rubbed with
salt and bathed in cold water A hot

IDEA WELL WORTH COPYING
Rugs Of Colored Rope, Popular In
France, inexpensive and
Peculiarly Pretty.

In Paris one lives out OF doors so
much that there are always new crea-
tons for the gardens and porches and
the many terraces in the country
where one finds the table set for a
meal.
Among these new things Is a large
circular rug made In a simple design
OF colored rope.
The natural hempen color is used
for the border and the circular CEN
ter, and between are huge sailor knots
Of red or purple or blue rope. The eff
feet Is most attractive.
There is no reason why these rugs
cannot be copied by women who like
such things and know where TO get
them done. Rope Is easily bought and
easily dyed in the preferred colors,
and there are places in most towns
where sallorlike work is done.
Remember. the rug is open in it's de-
sign. II resembles q coil OF rope and
loops such as one would see on the
