Having learned how TO feed your
ba.ov rirht. one OF the most import
ant things for you TO know is how to
dress him.
A great deal Of harm can be done
by dressing him too much-by that
mean putting too much clothing on
him and having II too tight.
A great many mothers keep their
baby too warm: they are afraid the
little one will catch cold. Remember
baby is a warm little body; warmer
than old people and ne feels the heat
much more.
In hot weather, then. you can not
be too careful not 10 have too much
clothing on him.
There is much more chance Of his
being Overheated than Of his catching
cOld-at any rate too much clothing
makes him fretful and restless.
Besides you must dress him right II
you want him 10 get the fresh air.
Don't think you have given him
enough fresh air by simply allowing
him 10 breathe il into his lungs his
whole body needs IT,
You should dress him as much as
possible so that every bit OF his tender

More than that, tight clothing keeps
bOby's lungs from acting freely and
hinders the movements Of his blood.
That means that no matter how
well you feed him his food does not
get a chance 10 build up his little body
and he will grow weak, thin and
stunted.
A baby 10 have good blood must
have good air in his lungs as well as
good food IN his stomach. Rich blood

QUEER TALES FROM

No, it is not water; it is fat. The
common belief, that water is stored in

the general knowledge that he can
go a very long time without either
food or drink; this is because the
camel is native to the desert; in two
respects it is physiologically fitted for

work on the desert; its feet are
webbed and expansive so that it
travels easily on loose sand.
1t can contract it's nostrils so that it
can breathe in a sandstone which
often is fatal to human beings and
all other animals.
The camel is disagreeable, quar-
relsome, complaining and vindictiVe.
He has two humps and the drome-
dairy has only one hump.

Screen the Stables
Against Flies.

The position Of The Journal that in
order to protect the people of the city
from flies all stables both public and
private, should not only be screened,
but should be cleaned up at least three
general approval.
AS long as the livery stables and
COW lots are left in an Unsanitary
condition, there will be an abundance
OF flies, germ laden, flying all over the
city, and they will be no respector Of
age or conditions. The innocent babe.
out with its nurse, will be victim
the same as the grown person.
There Is not so much danger from
IN the city-none located in the bust
ness district, as are the unprotected
and unsCreened livery stables. But it
is said that in Bessemer and other
places in Alabama cows must be kept
on cement floors, and the floors must
be kept clean.
The greatest breeding places for
flies in Pensacc->a today are the stables
the places where they take the filth
food or body of some unsuspecting
person.
Talk about cleaning up premises;
the destruction of old tin cans, etc,
and then leaving the stables filthy and
unscreened. is simply overlooking the
big thing, and taking up smaller
things
1t is absolute Nonsense to talk about
having the city put in a healthful and
sanitary condition, while several livery
stables and hundreds of private stables
stand wide open to receive and accom-
modate flies; to offer them a place Of
habitation, where they can multiply
and replenish the city with their breed.
The city government should give at
tention to this matter. If there are
not laws or ordinances sufficient to af-
ford protection to the people, then an
ordinance covering this subject should
be inaugurated at once and enforced.
1t is necessary to the good health Of
the city.

Lawn Grass Should
Be Cut ''Long."

TIE department Of agriculture has
issued a bulletin telling how to take
care OF a lawn. Grass should be cut
long so that the roots will be pro-
teoted after the cutting. This means,
says the department Of agriculture's
landscape gardener, that the lawn
mower should be set just as high as
II viii go.
Lawns should be cut frequently and
In ordinary cases where the cuttings
are normal they should be left where
they fall. Notwithstanding the con-
trary opinion of the energetic person
who-fonows up his cuttings by raking
with an iron rake. Lawns should
never be ral1ed with an iron rake, ex-
cept to prepare them for the sowing
OF grass seed, for such raking harrows
up the soil. Neither should they be
swept.
II the dilige1t caretaker Of a lawn
must follow UP the cutting by some
other operation. only a wooden rake
should be used, and this should be
employed carefully so as not to dis
turb such Of the grass clippings as
have sifted down around the roots.
These GRASS clippings that settle
around he roots afford them a very
important protection when there is
lack of rain later in the season, for
they Will hold the moisture and act as
a shield from the sun.
In fact the grass cuttings are gen
orally needed about the roots, and
should not detract from the looks Of
the lawn, for they soon shriveI, dry
up. and work their way down, so that
they are no longer noticed. Grasses
are naturally cool-climate plants and
are liable to be harmed by the hot sun
about the roots.

PIECE HAS BEEN PLAYED
IN PENSACOLA BEFORE

Pensacola, May Both. 1914.
Editor Pensacola journal:
I would like TO correct the state
ment made by Mr.. GilfIlan Scott. in
Fridays issue of The Journal, that
re will give the first rendition of
BeethoVen's Sonata Pathetique ever
given in Pensac cola. We are not
quite so musiCally benighted a. that.
During the life Of the Wednesday
Music Club, gave the piece in ques-
ton at one of our open meetings,
and was very much gratifed at the
applause it elected. The same selec-
ton has been on the programme of
visiting artists here.
But Good composition never
grows stale. and I know numbers OF
music lovers will take great pleasure
in attending Mr.. SCOTS coming con
cert, and hear his rendition of an old
favorite.
Respectfully,

Ireland's Long Fight
For Home Rule.

Tre1ands long fight for home rule
was crowned with success on May 25
when, for the third time. the home
rule bin passed the house Of com
mons and, despite the opposition of
the house of lorNs, will become a law
in one month. The history of the
es follows:

established in Dublin.
1S7+-A motion in the commons in
favor of home rule defeated.
1s7e-Movement for home rule took
definite shape.
1ss0-Charles Stewart Parneu is
chosen parliamentary leader of the
home rule party
1sS2-Parnell entered into negotiations
with Gladstone.
1SS6-Gladstone introduced his first
home-Tlle bfll and delivered a ia
NOUS speech in support of it. The
bill was summary rejected
1ss3-Gladstone introduced his second
home-rule bill. which passed the
house OF commons. only TO be
killed by the house of lords.
1SO9-The liberal government, IN a
desperate position, sought an aIli-
ance with the Irish nationalists
The leader agreed to support the
measures with the understanding
that a home rule bill would be in
PRODUCED and passed.
1910-A measure was passed limiting
the veto power of the house Of
lords, which removed the last
great obstacle in the path OF the
home-rule movement.
1ef3-Home-rule bill passed house OF
commons January 16.
1914-Bin passed house Of commons
May % third time. Becomes law
in one month.
The provisions Of the new law are
briefly stated as follows:
THE HOME RULE BILL provides for
the establishment OF an Irish parlia-
ment TO administer the Internal af-
ralrS of Ireland, subject to the au-
thority of the British parliament and
powerless to interfere with religious
equality
THE IRISH PARLIAMENT shall not
have power to make laws affecting
peace or war, treaties with foreign
states. postal service. coinage or tn .
collection of national taxes.
THE EXECUTIVE POWER remains
with the king and his delegated Of
fiCers.
THE LORD LIEUTENANT of the
king shall summon, prorogue and
dissolve the parliament.
REVENUE BILLS shall originate only
in the Irish parliament and there
shall be an Irish eXchequer and an
Irish consolidated fund, separate
from those of the United Kingdom,
THE IRISH PARLIAMENT shall have
power to vary any imperial tax so
far as respects the levy of that tax
IN Ireland and to impose any indie
pendent tax not similar in character
to al imperial tax.

Ireland to the House of Lords shall
cease.
IRISH SERVICES created under this
act shall cover all public services
in connection with the civil govern
ment of Ireland and shall be under

Just what Ulster viii do about this
new home rule remains to be seen,
but 1t is more than likely that it will
be accepted in good faith
in the north as well as in the other
parts Of Ireland.

The Raccoon.

Although hunted for his flesh and his
fur and sometimes also by reason OF MS
deoredations, the raccoon is found IN
eyery part of the United States and ap-
pears 10 be holding his Own in spite OF
man-his worst enemy, he is nocturnal
and carniyorous in in habits. he can
swim and dig and climb. as occasion may
REQUIRE. in his search for a living and'
being an omnivorous beast, all these
powers are employed by him in getting
his food. Mice, frogs, fish, molluscs, IN
sects, fruits, nuts and eggs OF almost every
kind, he keenly relishes, and his cleanll-
ness with regard TO his food is undouol-
edly his most remarkable characteristic.
He washes his food very daintily, when
ever possible, before eating.
About this time OF year, or perhaps d
little later in some sections, the raccoon
feels disposed TO hibernate. He will DIS
appear in snug retreat along with others
OF his kind for mutual warmth, although
he is clothed in splendid, long fur, and moi
until the sunshine OF early March and the
hunger call strongly tempt him, will he
come forth.
