ALI Night Porch Lights

The advent Of the 10 watt tungsten
lamp makes it entirely possible to
burn porch lights all night without
making any appreciable difference in
the monthly bill for electric light. A
rates now prevailing in Fort Collins,
ten cents kilowatt the total cost of
burning one of these Lights all night
is about one tenth of one cent per
day, or three cents per month.
Lights Of this kind, where generally
used, give very satisfactory street
illumination, besides giving protection
against burglars, etc. 1t seems that
central stations should encourage a
move of this kind, as it would benefit
the entire community. And while
these lights are burning during the
of-peak period, the rate could be
made very low or they might be kept
burning without charge to the con-
sumer. While it would not seem ad-
visable to have lights Of this kind
wired of the meter; it would be an

bill by the lights estimated monthly
consumption. Lights of this kind
should also be installed SO as to make
the house number visible at night.

Jones never said a better word than
when he said God never made two
men alike without making one fool, .

Sunday is just himself, honest, sin

usefulness may be greater and greater

when should my baby begin to sit
up?'
How soon should let my baby
walk?"
These questions are frequently
asked of physicians at Better Babies
contests. They form part of that i'm
portant factor in a baby's up.bringing,
exercise.
The normal healthy baby, properly
clad, given legitimate freedom, will
choose it's form of exercise and gain
strength through God-given instinct.
The parent who retards it's activities
or stimulates them makes grave mis-
take.
For a few weeks after it's birth, the
only exercise baby has or needs is
crying. Crying in moderation is good,
healthy exercise. At two months, if he
is still sturdy, he should begin to have
what might be termed play periods.
All his clothing except the belly-band
or shirt should be removed. Then
with the temperature of the room at
70 degrees Fahrenheit, he is laid on a
bed protected from draught, and per-
mitted to kick and roll as his fancy
dictates. When he is tired, he will
stop Babies know better than grown
ups how to conserve their energies.
At four months, the healthy baby
holds up his head and shows a ten
dency to sit up with support. At six
months he does sit up with a pillow
at his back At nine months he
should be able to sit alone on the
floor, with no pillow supporting mis-
back and about this time he will make
occasional efforts to creep.

he might divorce himself from an
Objectionable wife. The princes OF
Northern Germany espoused the cause
of Luther, because it gave them
pretext to war against the domination
of the House Of Austria. Yet, in the
history of the world and the advance
OF religion, all of these men and their
actions have played important and
lasting parts.
Criticism, is, and always has been.
directed against the methods and the
results achieved in evangelical and
general Christian work. An unbiased
contemplation of history simply COM
pels the conclusion that there are at
the present time no recognized stand
ards whereby the work of various men
in various ages may be measured hon.
estly.
It is only possible, therefore, to
estimate Rev. Mr.. Sunday by compar-
ing his admitted achievements with
the accredited achievements Of the
great historical evangelists. and with
these it would seem that he ranks In
every way a peer. Coming from the
comparative obscurity OF what Is gen-
orally known as the Middle West, he
has in late years challenged the atten-
ton of the entire country and there
has been devoted to him recently a
considerable amount of disinterested
attention from which a concensus OF
judgment can be established.
AS early as June, 1910. DR.. Thomas
e. Green, writing in Hampton's mag.

"That's Billy Sunday, Americas great
evangelist. On the platform he plays
ball. Attitude, gestures, methods-he
crouches, rushes, whirls, bangs his mes

last inning, with two men out and the
bases full. And he can go into any city
in America and for six weeks talk to six
thousand people twice day and simply
turn that community inside out Over
100000 people have been converted under
his preaching-and he says, ninety per
cent. Of them stick"

FRESH AIR AND EXERCISE FOR
THE BABY

(NOllIluuCust
Never should a child be allowed to
sleep in a room with gas or lamp burn
ing low. The fumes from such illum'
nation are extremely bad for the
lungs. They exhaust the oxygen
which the baby needs so sorely.
The busy farm mother who cannot
take her baby for daily airing has no
excuse for not letting it sleep outdoors.
If she has no carriage, she can have
casters put on the crib and roll it out
on the porch, or even deep box can
be padded and baby can be made safe
and comfortable by adding a firm hair
mattress and warm blankets. When
the baby begins to sit up and play, a
similar padded box or small fenced en-
closure should be built. on the porch
for nursery. 1t is a positive injustice
nothing short of criminal, to keep a
delicate baby in the kitchen.
Many a mother worn out with fret
full baby will secure rest for herself
and good health for the baby by max
ing it comfortable outdoors. The sleep
in fresh air is restful and babies that
will not sleep we'll indoors acquire
the habit if placed on the quiet porch
or under shady tree.
The sturdy baby should have it's reg
ular daily airing, weather permitting
from the age of two weeks. At six
months, the airing in his carriage, ex.
elusive of sleep, understand, should
last an hour and the time should be
gradually increased until at five or
six years, he plays the greater part OF
the time outdoors by habit.
If the day is inclement, rainy, blust
cry, at least open the nursery window
and dressing the baby, cap and all, as
for his daily ride, let him breathe the
air for a half hour or more. In win

to look after the inquiries, to make my
work easier in every way, and he had
the same hearty enthusiasm in these
ordinary things which he did which is
now displayed in his most remarkable
work.
One day years ago in Urbana, Ohio,
I had a request from someone out OF
town for speaker, and l asked Mr..
Sunday to take the meeting. He
seemed greatly frightened, said that
he could not speak and that he was
not the man for the place. Finally 1t
was determined that he would tell the
story of his conversion. Following
that Sundays service the most inter-
esting reports were made to me OF the
impression which he had made upon
his audience, and l then had the con-
viction that he ought to do more OF
the work, and I suggested to him that
he ought to go to a number OF smaller
places and stay just week. When
he told me that he did not have SER
mons l asked him to make use of any
thing that he had heard me say, and
told him that I should feel highly
honored at his doing So. 1t was thus
that he started, so far as can re-
member His successful work from
that day to this needs no descriptive
word of mine for however much men
may differ with him as regards
method, all will agree if they know
him at all that he is absolutely honest
and sincere as we'll as being great
man. l consider Mr.. Sunday very
generous. l cannot think Of any time
that he has met me and had oppor'
tunity for conversation that he has
not said to me-"Do you need any
money!" And that he has not told
me that If | did need it he woulc
gladly give it to me. Fortunately fol
me and possibly for him l have not
found it necessary to accept his kind
gifts, but he has never made the sug-
gestion that have not had a glimpse
of his great, generous heart.
1t is a matter Of small concern to
me what methods Mr. Sunday may
use. am not at all disturbed that
he should be using methods which are
