BABY'S DIET IN SUMNER

water before using.
When the prepared food is ready
and the bottles filled with as many
ounces as the doctor has prescribed
for feeding, il is corked with baked
cotton and placed near the ice. Then
when bottle is needed--probably"
every two TO three hours-it is set
in boiling water and heated to the
temperature OF mothers milk. The
heat may be tested by spilling
drop onto the wrist instead OF tast-
ing it. an unsanitary habit mothers
or nurses are apt to have.
The baby should be held prefer
ably while it takes the bottle. which
should not be longer than fifteen or
twenty minutes. Should .he baby
develop any sign OF diarrhGa or
vomiting stop all feeding. giving
only boiled or barley water until the
doctor arrives.
Sleep, Fresh Air and Water.

cool in the fresh air, has two maps
a day and sleeps all night; does not
creep on the floor, where it might
pick up something or handle pets

bathed and has water to drink be
tween feelings, it should get on well
in the summer months.
AS to the feelings, they vary with
the childs condition. In some cases
the child will not thrive on the milk
and barley combination, and whey is
resorted to. If troubled with con-
stipation, oatmeal water is substi-
tuted for the barley, and for added
nourishment rice water is given for
drinking purposes.
For little babies on whey diet
about two and a half ounces are
given every three hours. The whey
is made by warming one pint of milk
to blood heat and adding one tea
spoon Of essence of pepsn or a jun
ket tablet. Let it stand until il jel-
lies, then break the curds with
silver fork and strain through fine
cheese cloth. The whey may then b.
put near the ice and the curds
thrown away. This diet is used
where cows milk cannot be digested.
Milk of Magnesia Added to Food Mkt.
The barley water is made of q
tablespoon Of barley -four mixed in a
cup OF cold water. then stirred into a
quart OF boiling water with a pinch
OF salt, and carefully stirred while it
boils twenty minutes. This is added
TO the feeding mixture in proper
tons Of one part barley to four parts
milk. Where the oatmeal water is
used for laxative purposes instead, it
is given in the same way and is made
in the same way.
In some instances lime water is
added to the food mixture. and that
IS used in proportions of one part to
twenty Of food mixture. Again, milk

trying and nerve racking in hot

may be true, but the sleep is not OF

clothing and little excitement are the
best gifts that one can give the baby

 Genevieve Holden was born on the first day of April She was several years younger than her brothers and sisters of whom there were several in the Holden home. She came with a scanty welcome from the older ones, and received only indifference from her father but to her mother the baby girl was a comfort and a blessing, and she found room in her heart for one more as mothers always do. Mrs. Holden's devotion was sufficient to make up all lack on part of the others, had the little one proved less winsome than she did. Genevieve might well have been A Fridays child, for she was could give was a loving smile, which she bestowed on all who approached her. Her mother declared her to be the best baby ever seen in their family and before they realized it, sine had captured all the hearts so chary of receiving her on her arrival. When the older ones ventured a caress or extended a finger. she beamed upon them a loving smile, or offered them the whole ot her tiny hand. Little April Fool they called her among name for her. so that before long she was know to all their coterie of friends as Holden's April Fool,
 No fool was Genevieve, however, when old enough to enter school She proved precocious beyond her age, and her quaint sayings were repeated and treasured up by all the family to be laughed over many a time. She was asked on her return from her first

PROPER BUT TIMELY ATTENTION

Though the bill for the repeal of the Panama canal toll exemptions for vessels of this country is simply bring ing up a matter for action which has been before the country for d long time, it should of necessity receive the proper amount of attention which every important piece of legislation is entitled to. There is no reason why it should be rushed without reason able consideration but it is iustifia ble action which looks to the prevention of unnecessary and uncalled for de- lays created simply to bring influences 10 bear entirely outside the scope of the measure

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Action.

While the riddle of life is always present with us, there are times when it presses on us more heavily than at others. If our minds are sane and balanced it should not be too insist ent, though we cannot wholly escape from it. But sometimes we seem to pass into a trance of wonder. What does it mean?
 We are hedged in with two eterni- ties, the past and the future. What is the purpose of it all? We are keenly sensitive to sorrow, yet sorrow ap- pears our general fate; we love and we lose we toll and are disappointed. What does it all mean"-

HELPING A CITY

Many are the excellent ideas which are being put into practice about the country for the improvement of local conditions for the sake of appearances and sanitation. Through the good re suits attained by many Village inn provement societies, rural clubs or city clean-up efforts others have beeu inspired to similar or better undertake inss with highly gratifying results Conditions vary in different towns and what would be advisable in one wouId be entirely unnecessary or inade0uate m another yet from the general scheme or mah4estln& community patriotism and again perhaps sectional or street patriotism. great good can be obtained

VILLA HAS JUST BEGUN.

With the capture of the city of Torreon the constitutionalists add to the territory over which they have control, Villa makes good on his pre- dictionS and ability as a fighter and an important strategic point has fall en into the hands of the rebels And yet with all this attained as the result of a week of hard fighting the task which lies before the organized oppo- sition to the Huerta. government has only just begun. While advantages have been gained as the result of this battle they were greatly needed by Genegal Carranza and his army leader Pancho Villa in their determination to overthrow the existing government
 Villa is not only one step nearer the Mexican capital. but he has put himself in a position to secure many more important points in that portion of Mexico. He has added to his rep utauon as a fighter, a fact which is bound to have a tWofoid benefit from the greater inspiration such a leader will be to his army and the dishearten ing results of his continued successes to the defend2rs- of the federal cause. His victory coming just at this time when General Huerta has again de- clared for the establishment of peace in the republic is a crushing blow to federal hopes. He has shown himself more than a cracker barrel fighter and can be expected to make the best use of Torreon as a center for exten- sive military operations. It is the be- ginning of the "on to Mexico" struggle and has revealed that there are some real last ditch fighters in Mexico, re- gardIess of whatever belief there may have been about the bluff and bIuster of the Mexican rebels.

LOOKING BACKWARD.

Ii is not surprising that the opin- Ion prevails that the bill which has been presented in the Massa chusetts s legislature in behalf of the abolishment of the party enrolment is doomed to early defeat. Many are the opportu- mites for advocating changes in con- nection with election or primarv laws which will result to the benefit of all concerned and provide a chance for the vo,er to exercise his judenent with perfect freedom in making his choice. but il is a question whether the wisdom of the step proposed has been fully considered.
 Party enrolment resulted from a recognition of the need of bettering the caucus conditions and preventing such party affairs from being packed and controlled by other parties and it is important if parties are to exist. u i- a protection to organization aS ainst outside influences and it's re- moNal would simply be the encourage ment of the cid time practices which should never be countenanced.

UNsEAsoNABLE EXPECTATIONS.

A good deal of the disappointment that people experience in this life re- suits from the unreasonable eXpecta- tiOnS they cherish concerning it They assume a set of conditions that do not exist. The world for them is not q workshop in which they are allowed to earn a living, but a sort of colossal bank from which they have right to collect one. Kelly's industrial army doubtless includes some men with real grievances, but it contains more who are furnished simply with grudges against society. How many thousands in this land of the free and home of the brave spend their lives in futile railing against a social order that has not fulfilled it's fancied obligations to them.
