INFANT MORTALITY,

what can be accomplished by steady, persistent effort is well indicated by the success which has attended the fight to reduce infant mortality. The death rate among infants still runs Into large figures but 1t has be II greaesS reduced because of the etiuca . tional campaign which has been so faithfully% and carefully conduct d. There was crying demand for teach ing parents the importance of prop CT care and sanitation and the stea 1y decrease in the death rate among chI- dren is the one best indication Of the success of the undertaking.
 Concerning this great work the New York Post well says: Among al t'le humanitarian movements of the time there is perhaps none which has been more free from the spectacular and the sensation than that for the reduc- ton of infant mortality. It has been steadily prosecuted, quietly and 3atient- ly though with vigor and enthusiasm, both by governmental authorities and bv private agencies. When there has been anything wild or noisy in con- nection with the matter it hos cor'e from all round world reform ars who haven't taken the slight est trouble 10 find out whether it has increased or diminished. The work CTS fight infant mortality be- cause they know that by the taking of proper r1ea sures the lives of thou sands of infants can be saved
 The object in the movement ts the checking of needless loss of life ard the benefit lies not in spasmO1ic en- deaTors but in the devotion tc work which calls for constant attention Therein lies it's greatest success.

GETTING A CITY MANAGER.

Some idea of the lncerfty with which Dayton is entering upon it's city manager plan of government, is indicated by the endeavor to secure the services of Col. Goethals Of Pan ana canal fame for that office As an engineer of the army Col Goetkals is uot in a position to accept the call if he was so inclined but the very fact that he was the choice for the place shows 9 realization of the needs of the city and the importance of the new office which the Ohio city has re ated-

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

For those who make their own coffee; Do not put the coffee pot over the flame, but place it in a pan of boiling water. This is a slow but ex- cellent way of making the beverage, and furthermore. 1t will keep the coffee hot indefinitely and prevent 1t from boiling away. The coffee retains it's fine flavor and does not become strong or condensed.
 Coffee makes an excellent polish for furniture. Drain the left over coffee and when you have d quart mix it with tablespoonful of sweet oil. Rub the furniture over with this and polish it with dry cloth. If the coffee is strong it will nelp conceal all scratch eS.
 Add a sliced banana to the white of one egg and beat until stiff The ba- mana will be entirely dissolved and you will have delicious substitute for whipped cream.
 Pierce the smooth bottom of a to- mato with a fork and hold over the fire for a few seconds. The skin will crack and can be removed easily, without the inconvenience and delay of waiting for water to boil.

TAKING CARE OF THE FEET.

Women who spend hours caring for their hands pay little attention to their feet They are such hard-worked members of the body that they deserve better tre9tment.
 Feet are best kept in condition by shoes that fit. Never economize in shoe leather, and do not yield to vanity and get footwear that is too small.
 Frequent bathing keeps the feet from being tired and swollen. and it prevents roughness of the skin that leads to calIous spots.
 Water in which g bit of washing soda has been dissolved is restful. Hot salt water is equally refreshing. while a vigorous rubbing with alcohol will quickly relieve a burning sensation.
 Pumieestone, used frequently. keeps the skin smooth. It is especially nec- essary on the heel and on the ball of

STORING GOODS.

When deciding what to keep and what to send to be sold it is well to make a careful estimate of the com parative cost of. storage and replacing, deducting from the latter item the probable selling price. When you ap- ply this test you will probably find that most of the kitchen utensils should go to the auction room, nor will it pay to store for any length of time the vast assOT Ttn9ent of odds and ends which accumulate in most house. holds
 One should pack for storage much the same as one packs for any other removal with this difference, that the goods may not be unpacked for many months and that it is desirable to get them into as small a compass as possible.
 With view to reducing storage space study ways of using all the in terior space of furniture turned up side down. A large picture with a deep molding can have the space from the glass to the outer line of the frame filled up with smaller pictures. Books should be packed in good many small bcxes, rather than in one large box.
 Make sure Of complying with the regulation of the insurance com panies Have your things thoroughly cleaned before you store them. Pack as closely as possible. Do not store rubbish.

HAT RECEPTACLE.

Make your own hatbox of paste board and cover it with wallpaper or cretonne. Hinge the sides to the bot tom of the box with baby ribbon run through eyelets Make the top to hinge to one of the sides. This can be folded and carried in a trunk, and is more convenient than regular hatbox
 For travelling on the train make 8, gray summer silk bag to cover the hat when placed on the car rack. Silk sheds the dust and will not permit it to sift through. Close both ends of the bag with a, drawstring. and it will not then be necessary to draw the hat out from one end only. which some times breaks fragile trimmings when the hat is thrust into the bag.
