Foreign buyers have an X-ray fashion
of looking right through the externais

Fewer Strong Men Found Among Recruits of Today

far the lowest at the present day. only
33 per cent. as against 81 per cent.
In 1875.
The men considered weak at the
present time are AZ per cent as

has fallen from more than 60 per cent.

In Paris one lives out Of doors so

The natural hempen color is used
for the border and the circular cen

of red or purple or blue rope. The eff.

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 sailorlike work is done

In the Nursery.

There is a distinct knack in the
method of lifting and holding the
baby.
Both hands should be used, for in
stance, in 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
a low rocking chair without arms
with one foot upon stool in order tc
deepen the hollow in which the child
lies.
If child's feet grow tired in warm
weather they should be rubbed with
salt and bathed in cold water. A ho
