Baby's Bedtime
Hints for the Twilight Hour


The ehilds most precious hour is bed
time. There is no other time during the
day-even before the afternoon nap
when the tired little eyes wink so sadly
to keep open, and the tired little arms
creep so Wearily round the mothers 5 neck.
Many women fail TO realize the tremen-
oous importance OF this sleepy time"
They race on to dinners and dances and
leave some ignorant, unframed servant
70 usurp their halloWed privileges
Perhaps you remember ia your own
baby days how you wished for a tiny
kiss az bedtime and FOR all the Joys of a
comfy feelingl The bedtime hour Is
the hour when the ehild's physical forces
ars at the lowest ebb. Children play all
day with an astounding viyaeity. and
when the sleepy hour comes they turn
naturally TO the mother for sympathy
and spiritual AZ well as physical care.
This y the time for the wise mother
TO create lifelong impressions. II she

BATTIED 72 HOURS,
 SPURNED REST, WON

Paris, Sept. 29.-A fine story of he- roism Is told about an infantry regi- ment which was fighting near Sois- sons for three days.
 The regiment made 1ncessant as- saults the enemy's positions but time after time was compelled to re- tire under the heavy German fire. To- ward nightfal on the third day the regiment gained the position at the point of the bayonet and got around 8 height which was an important posi- ton to the Germans. The latter re- tained a nefghboring ht1I, where they began to intrench. It was necessary to dis1odge them before the intrench- ment was completed.
 The French general in command ob- tained endorsements Of fresh troops whom he ordered to capture the hill, while the regiment which had been fighting so hard took a much needed rest.
 This announcement caused much disappointment to the men of the fighting regiment and they sent a pe- tition to their colonel asking that they be allowed to complete their work The request was granted and the reg iment carried the hill by assault de- spite their seventy-two hours of cQn- tinuous fighting. Their losses were very heavy.

It also has a con siderable membership in South Africa and India Strange to say, the order is now more influential in the Anti podes than in the land of it's birth The order has had more than 4ooo 900 members it's rolls, all pledged to total abstinence from alcoholic bev- erages.

RICHARD HUMPHREYS WAS FIRST ssGENTLEAIAN''
 OF THE PRIZE RING

an,,roter- of modern boxers, among them Jim Corbett and Jack Skeny. have attained the title of ''Gentlernan but the first fighter to glory in that ,sFef5x was s4centlen1an'' Richard Hum nb4-ies The latter made his final ap- 7,eara5aees in the ring 124 years ago to- day. Sept 2s, 1790, at Doncaster, Eng. where he was defeated by Dan Men doza, a Spanish-Jew and the frst He- brew to hold pugilistic champion ship It was the third meeting be- tween the pair. At their first meet ing the Jew slipped on the rain-soak- ed wooden pIanking and fell so heavily that he was put out of z-oEa mission Of ..oI,rse the ssGenfleman'' was awarded the victory, and there was wailing and tearing of hair in the London ghetto, for the Jews of the city had backed their man to the tune of at least a quarter Of a million dollars. Hum phries was hailed as hero, but Man doza bided his time. and in 178s the IsraeIite again faced the blue-blooded braiser in 3. ring This time Mendoza was the master although Humphr1es had entered the ring two to one fayorite, but while the Je ew was award ed the victory the battle did not com pIetely establish his supremacy, and HImphries lost on a technical lity. So d third battle was arranged and this time they met at Doncaster on Sept 29s 179O. The wealthy and titled sports proposed to make this bout exc1u- give affair limited to attendance Of 500 of the fancy, but the mob of eports were not satisfied with this rangement and battered down the en- closure The fashionable boxer was completely outelassed by the clever, hard-tfttfng Jew, and after this bat tie Aaere was no longer any doubt Of Mendoza's supremacy Humphries never fought again. but set up in bus mess as a coal merchant. The .fGen- rtIeman. gained his title and his spopu- larity among the b1oods from the fact that he came of 8. good family, his father having been an army officer and afterward a government official Mendoza was by all odds the most scientific boxer the ring, had known up to that time, and he has had very few equals in the whole history of the ring After his final victory over Humphries the Hebrew boxer made an exhibition tour with a big bruiser named Fewtara1l, who had figured with the Highland Giant in the first prize fight ever pulled off in Scotland. They spent some time in Edinburgh and Glasgow. and their exhibitions in those cities made the noble art immensely popular with the Scotch sports. Men doza lost his championship title in 1795 to the second 'sGentlernan'' of the :. ring, John Jackson, the close friend and the athletic instructor of the poet Lord Byron.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO HAVE
$4,000 ADDITION

At the annual school meeting,
held in the assembly room of the
high school last Monday evening,
it was unanimously voted to build
a $4,000 addition to the River
Falls public school building.
The addition is to be built onto
the south side of the present
building, and is to be two stories
high. Work on the new structure
is to be startSd as soon as pcs. ible
and it is expected that it will be
completed and ready for use by
about the middle of next winter.
The first floor of the addition
is to house the Seventh and Eighth
grades or pre-high school DEPART
ment, with two recitation rooms.
On the second floor there will he
two recitation rooms, a private Of
flee for the principal, and a large
library and reading room.
A steam heating plant will be
installed in the basement of this
part of the building, and it will
be fitted to heat the addition and
a portion iof the east part of the
old building and also furnish hot
water for the bath rooms in the
old building. 1t is hoped that in
the near future the new steam
heating plant can be enlarged to
serve the entire building, and that
the present hot air plant can be
taken out and the room it now oc-
cupies be utilized for the manual
training department.
A 4Ox60 TT. gymnasium is to be
built in the basement of the ad-
dition, having a gallery which will
accommodate about two hundred
people.
This addition is a much needed
improvement for the public school.
The gymnasium is a feature of es-
pc ial value, as for many years
this school has been under severe
handicap in this respect, the stu
dents having to get their gymnas-
tic training in halls down town.
The class and recitation rooms in
the addition will also be a great
convenience, relieving the neces-
sity of crowded and cramped
quarters in the old building, espec-
tally in the case of the domestic
science and the commercial course
Accommodations.

HOT HINTS

Heat p~rostrations are more often
due to internal causes than to ex-
ternal heat. Not but what heat
prostrates. 1t does. But behind
the p~rostration there is some dis
order that makes the job a soft one.
Beware of constipation with it's bot
tied up poisons. Vegetables and
fruits are especially wholesome and
appetizing cathartics.
It's doubtful if any really healthy
individual is ever Frustrated solely
by sucn temperatures as Wisconsin
experiences. There are various de-
grees Of prostration, from feeling
out of sorts" to actual heat and
sunStroke. Many symptoms are
due to nervousness and hysteria.
The individual who whines over the
breath of a hot day is apt to be the
same individual who wines about
a draft of fresh cold air in the win
ter time. Such individuals need to
train their nerves" and acquire
nerve. Constantly repeating the
expression Its a beautiful day" is
a good toughener for weak nerves
People need to be especially care
full of what they put into their
stomachs at this season. There is
no call to provide overmuch "appe-
tizing food" If one isn't hungry
he will do we'll not to eat. 1t is al
most impossible to overdo drinking
of plain cool water. In fact it's g
good time to learn to drink the
amount of water the system requires
at all seasons. With great evapora.
tion through sweat there is a de-
mand for greater water intake.
Most appetizing drinks such as
lemonade, rootbeer, good quality
soda-fou ntain d i n k S, etc., are
harmless. The ] ourna al of the
