When Baby Has Group

If the baby's attacks come on after a
cold, she probably has catarrhal Group.
This is often due to being too careful in
excluding draughts, which may mean ex-
cluding fresh air, too. The baby will be
twice as susceptible, when she goes out,
to colds, II she has been breathing in
overheated, damp air in the house.
At the first sign of croupy, catarrhal
cough, give baby teaspoonful OF ipeca-
cuanha wine. II she is not freely sick
in about a quarter OF an hour with
marked relief send for the doctor. A good
thing to do while waiting is to bathe
the baby In a tubful Of hot mustard
water Battle the neck and throat par
ticularly. But be sure that you are most
careful not to let her get cold when
you are taking her out. She should be
dried In a warmed blanket.
II the cough is purely a nervous one
or accompanied by sore throat, be very
careful. Director Harte's weekly bulle-
tin urges every mother to take precau-
tions against diphtherla. Knowing how
dangerous this disease is and how it Is
increasing just now. he says: The time
most precious. and, unfortunately, that
which is oftenest lost, is at the very be-
ginning of the disease. II may be too
late after the powerful poisons generated
by the diphtherla germs have done their
damage to the body"
The sore throat, either In children or
adults, should never be neglected. A
gargle Of warm water and salt, or warm
water and peroxide, or peroxide and
glycerine should be used every day. II
this fails to relieve the soreness, better
see the doctor

can do nothing with such people. She
will make heroic efforts to dislodge them
from their corner, but she seldom sue
ceeds.
Lovers are very apt to be selfish. All
the world may love a lover. according
to Shakespeare, but according to human
nature, not the selfish lover. The en-
chanted pair who gaze into each others
eyes and sigh deeply to be alone at every
party they attend is another bane to the
hostess. Lovers should realize that there
are few important considerations left
beside George and Gladys, and that while
others may take an interest i'm their little
romance too much of II is boring. They
are often so absorbed in each other that

Many father or mother has gotten the
so-called cold shoulder because the lovers
consider them In the light OF intruders.
This is certainly not the case-if dad
wants to smoke his evening pipe on the

THE SELFISH GIRL

THE girl who is selfish and shows It
i is seldom favorite with her friends,
She is always thinking OF herself she is
rude and inconsiderate of the feelings OF
others, and disagreeable as well. At every
social affair she makes herself disliked by
selecting the most comfortable chair. the
most advantageous position and keeping
them securely, throughout the evening.
Another form of social selfshness Is not
so evident. but happens very often. The
girl who makes no effort TO mix with the
people present. and to make herself agree
able TO them, is selfish indeed. You have
all been to affairs where there was one
or two couples-either a girl and a man.
or two girls-who cit in a corner, cheer
fully ignoring all those present but their
own important selves. They talk about
everybody In the room, sneering at those
who are trying to be interesting or anus

OF perfection.

beneficial and very strict eye towards
regularity and hygiene
a weil-known specialist on children's
diseases has given the following rules
with regard to feeding the child:
1. Allow plenty of time for meals.
2. See that the food is thoroughly mastl-
Gated, This will save all the agony of
indigestion and so-called dyspepsia in
later years
3. Absolutely no eating between meals.
I. Never tempt child with the sight
of rich and indigestlble foods.
5. Never force a child to eat Examine
the mouth which may be sore from erupt-
ing teeth. Watch his food, that II Is
properly cooked. II he refuses his food
from peevishness only, take It away and
don't offer 1t again until the next meal

Childish ailments. If taken in time. are
not at all dangerous, as a rule. However
none of them should he neglected for
this reason. The child infected with
chicken-pox should be confined to the
house for at least two weeks, for there

A baby's skin often gets a rash on II
which is called sweat rash. This is caused
by too warm clothing and too little fresh
air. If you correct both of these the
rash will disappear. Red gum is an
other form of rash, which usually is re-
lieved by a good aperient.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE NEEDED

Besides his efforts to compose af-
fairs in Mexico and to open the way
for peace in Europe, President VIII
son has been active in his endeavors
to adjust various industrial clashes in
this country.
In response to his appeal the great
railroad strike which threatened to
tie up western traffic was averted He
pointed out to employers and employees
that, in view CT the critical business
conditions caused by war, such a cen
flict would be disastrous TO the coun-
try and both sides patriotichlly accept
ed his views.
He has been equally energetic in his
efforts to settle the strike in Colo
rado proposing truce which the
miners have accepted but which so
far the operators have not approved.
Conditions everywhere in this coun-
try at the present time cali loudly for
harmony between all classes in indus
try and the president has made it plain
that those who oppose this program
must bear the responsibility for the
hardships which their refusal imposes
upon an already strained business sit
uation.
