HOW TO DRESS YOUR BABY.

Don't think you have given your habF enough fresh air by simply lrt- ting him breathe it into lis lungs: his whole body Y2eas it. You should dress him, as much as possible. so that every bit of his tender skin should have a chance to breathe
 More than that. tight clothing keeps bahy's lungs from acting freely anl 1inlrrs that movement of his blool That means that no matter how M, you feed him his food does not get Il ahano" to build up the Ht;le body. aud he will grow thin and weak and stunt ed. For baby to have rich blood Ir must have good air in his lungs Us well as good food in his stomach
 Rich blood to make the baby grow must have q chance to circulate through his body. Another thing which helps baby to grow is exercise -he must haA plenty of chance To kick and squirm and throw lis arms Tight clothng flinders that Don, weaken your baly with tight clothine
 Bahy's clothing should be thin light and soft. Don't bundle him Don't starch his clothes. Don't put tight bands or garters on him. Hang his clothes from his shoulders with straps.
 When baby is asleep all his cloth ing should he loose. Keep him warn
 nough. but not too warm If you overload him with covers he will not sleep well Without good sleep the baby cant grow up as it should Kcep habys clothing dry and clean He should be watched and his garments changed as soon as they are wet or soiled
 In hot weather all the clothing that 1aby needs is a light slip and diap- "r. In cold weather these are the garments that he should wear; A cot ton dress, cotton petticoat. light wool shirt light wool stomach band, light wool stockings and canton flannel dia- pers.
 There are many little tricks in put ting baby's clothes on right after you have got them. The only way to learn these tricks is to have some one show vp

CRITICISM.

.. = = '- '.- = -- -.. = :.
 Many people allow themselves 10 be hurt through criticism. As mat. ter of fact, criticism is one of the strongest incentives for perfected work.
 Many of the greatest of the w2rld's triumphs directly resulted from criticism.
 Study the life of any great man and you will detect that as soon as that man began to criticise his own work, and as soon as other peo- pie began to take q hand at the same thing, that man grew. Wen. dell Phill ps used to say that he nev- CT felt he was effective until the hisses started. Then the man. boil ing with his enthusiasm for his cause and the belief that he was right. east from his mind h's greatest ideas the greatest triumphs of speech and influence
 Whether criticism is effective for you or not depends upon the spirit ignores such criticism.
 Criticism may come from malice or jealousy. The big man or woman ignores such critism.
 Then there is the criticism of un- important points. Such criticism can also easily be forgotten. And then there is the one great criticism honest criticism, with the spirit back of it redering a service When you are honestly criticized be glad of it, It is only through honest criti. cism that defects are corrected and big results come about.
 With this in mind. be your own best critic. Relentlessly review and criticise all you do. Be content in producing nothing short of your best. And when you have produced vour best, let criticism come. Then when your next work is produced you will have done better than before

 President Wilson expressed great satisfaction over the final passage of the second of the important measures to be urged by the administration He announced tonight that he could now leave the capital with his mind at rest. and is planning to start for the South in the morning, where he will spend his holiday vacation in a quiet spot in Mississippi.
 The first matter to be taken up by congress after the holidays will be the Alaska railroad bill, which has the right of way on Wednesdays in the lower house and every afternoon in the senate.
 WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec. 24-- The passing of the currency reform bill has been followed by scores of appeals for the establishment of re- Eional banks in various of the larger cities in different sections of the country. Seattle Is the first of the Western cities to make application for one of the new institutions. and the request of the Puget Sound city will he urged by a delegation of Western CTS already in the city.
 While nothing definite has been de- termined as yet. it is generally under stood that one of the regional banks will be established at some point in the Northwest. The location of the various institutions probably will not be determined until after the new system has been carefully outlined, and nothing whatever will be done in

 Iceland, for years an exporter of live sheep to Scotland and Eng land, is to become a larger factor in the commercial world, despite it's northern latitude An English con- cern has closed contracts for the purchase of Detti falls, the largest waterfall in the island, situated about thirty-five mile from the seacoast, in the River Tokulsa, which flows over northern Iceland for 100 miles and empties into the arctic ocean. The company will erect large works and construct a railway from the coast to the falls. Fertilizer will be pro- duced and the plant will require some 100000 horse power. The water power available at the falls IS estimated at 41O,GOO horse power and much more can be obtained in the vicinity if needed. The falls were purchased from four Icelandic pedSdIIS, edCu OI "UOul TeCelVou about s13,OOO for his interest.
 Hat island, in the Great Salt Lake Utah. is probably the strangest rock cry in the world. as we'll as one of the most densely populated. The island contains about twelve acres and on a rocky pinnacle 100 feet above the brine, with not a drop of fresh water to be found, the birds gulls, pelicans, herons and cormor- ants-by the thousand make their home. The island cap can be seen at distance of ten miles. rising like cooked hat" out of the sap phire of the island sea. The birds are utterly fearless. Protected as they are by the laws of the state, they have had little cause to fear man and his death dealing weapons. It is necessary to use the greatest care to avoid stepping on the tens of thousands of sea fowls that have established their rookeries On the islet.
