Very charming are the bed covers

trail tint which can be made to tone in
with any color scheme. They are quite
expensive when made by an uphol-
sterer or bought from a decorator, but
any woman who is clever with her
needle could make one.
Dainty dimity bed covers are also
shown, either in plain white or cream
or with narrow stripes in color. They
are made long enough to tuck under
the roll. Occasionally one sees separate
slips. into which round bolster may
be slipped. The covers hang down the
sides of brass beds, nearly touching the
floor, the two sides at the bottom being
split to allow the corners to lie fat.
With very sheer material a deep
founce sometimes appears. On wood
en- beds the cover merely touches the
wooden sides. When roll or bolster is
used, slipping pillows are tucked away
out of sight during the day and are
only placed upon the bed at night.
1t is almost necessity to have
couch in ones bedroom, for bed to
remain immaculate should never be
used for lounging or resting on during
the day. No guest room should be
without such convenience.

For Rickety Babies.

If mothers realized the virtue there
is in warm soft water and pure soap
there would be fewer puny babies.
When the little one is inclined to rick
cts give it two baths a day. In the
morning bath dissolve gill Of sea salt.
A bran bath is excellent at night. Put
one pound OF bran in a loose thin cot
ton bag. Soak it in the bath water
for half an hour while it is getting
warm. Squeeze it and keep it in the
water during the bath. Put drop Of
altar Of roses in four ounces Of olive oil
and rub baby with it five minutes aft
er his evening tub. This is soothing
and nutritive for a delicate child.

6oric Acid.

Boric acid In considerable quantities
is generally recognized as an original
constituent in the waters and gases
given off with volcanic emanatiOns. In
fact. the Tuscan fumarOles in Italy
have been an important commercial
source Of bOric acid for long time.
and in the past, possibly even to the
present time. almost all the boric acid
brought into the European market has
been derived from this source. There
is an abundant evidence Of the pres
ence Of boric acid in volcanic emana-
tions in many parts Of the world. On
the other hand. boron is so rare con-
stituent of rock forming minerals that
it forms an inappreciably small percent
age Of the earth's rock mass as whole.

The Olfactory kiss is MOngolian. The

The Mongolian kiss indicates that the

that the party embraced would make

Hints For Mothers.

~H1LDREN'S garments should,
Of course, be attractive, as at
~ tractive as means and cir.
cumstances will justify. That
they should be appropriate for the oc-
casion and comfortable is more impor-
tant. Many fond mothers spend time
they can little afford in the fashioning
Of elaborate clothes for their little girls.
Blaborately frilled and tucked and en-
broidered frocks are not in place for
everyday wear. Most mothers realize
this and favor simple garments. How.
ever, In fashioning these there is
certain amount Of handwork, and much
Of 1t might just as we'll be omitted
or done upon the machine In these
days ready to wear garments can be
purchased SO cheaply that it seems
scarcely worth while to spend the time
that many women do on little gowns
which will be soon cast aside. Chill.
dren are likely to feel uncomfortable In
these carefully got up clothes, for the
warning to take care of the nice
dress that mother made is apt to 60

couraged. For morning wear little
frock that can be easily laundered and
is inexpensive is to be preferred. No
child can play freely and happily in a
gown about whose condition she has to
worry.
One of the essentials in choosing chill
dren's clothes is that they should be
comfortable. Little girls are more apt
than little boys to suffer from uncom
Portable garments. This is partly be-
cause their garments are more compli

be suspended from the shoulders in
stead of fastened about the waist. All
the underskirts should be sewed tc

should be fastened in the same way to

of all garments hangs from her shoul.

To Cure Nail Biting.

If a child has formed the habit Of
biting it's nails keep the nails very
short. Explain to him how ugly his
hands will become and that nail biting
is vulgar habit. At six years child
is quite old enough to understand.
Give him Il little manicure set and
teach him how to use them. The diff
Guilty is he will probably continue to
bite tie nails through forgetfulness.

be put on in French style, well below
the waist. And she should be taught to
pull it down at the front. This action
Of pulling the belt down toward the
front makes her stand nicely. with her
spine well curved and her hips kept
back. Children who wear French belts
nearly always grow up with nicely
poised figures.
Very few use those cruel round gar.
ters now, but tight suspenders are al
most as bad. They cramp child's
legs and make her walk from the knee
instead Of from the hip. The suspend
ers should always be quite loose, and
their elastics should be new and
springy
Knickers with tight elastics which
come below the knee are very uncom.
Portable things. The elastic should al.
ways be large and loose enough to be
worn above the knee, so that the gar
ments do not catch the child when she
stOOps or sits.
Hard hats with tight elastics are very
cruel things, for they hurt child's
head most terribly. Let the hats be
made Of soft straw or felt and sew the
elastic to the lining instead of to the
place where the brim joins the croWn
An elastic stitched to this join is sure
to press into the head, but one sewed
to the lining is not felt at all.
Low collars are nearly always pref.
tier than high ones, and there is hardly
ever any need to put high collar on
child's frOck or blouse. The front of
the neck is so pretty that it may quite
well be seen. while the back. which is
a less beautiful part. is covered by her
long hair.
Shoes should have round toes. not
square or pointed ones. Square toes
make the foot grow into a clumsy
shape, while pointed ones induce corns.
The feet Of little tots should be as
unconf1ned as possible. The child who
has not yet learned to walk can be
shod with little bOotees which may be
fashioned from odds and ends of silk.

handsome pairs Of bootees are illus

President Is Bound

The newspaper speculation as to the attitude OF
President Wilson on the exemption of Panama canal
tolls does the high.minded chief executive injustice.
While he has failed to discuss the subject and a
rumor has become current that he favors suspend
ing the toll exemption clause for two years with the
hope of its eventual abolition, those who inspired the
rumor or accept IL with credulity do not appear to
be familiar with the creed of the organic body"
of which the President is confessedly the spokesman.
The representatives of the Democratic party Of the
United States Assembled in national convention at
Baltimore adopted the following platform pledge:
I'VE favor the exemption from tolls Of American
ships engaged in %coastwise trade passing through
the Panama canal
1t is true that at another place In the platform
unalterable opposition to subsidies of the merchant
marine from the public treasury was proclaimed.
But that this does not prevent subsidies by indirec-
ton, in the mind Of the Democrats in Congress, IS
proven by the inclusion of a .tarif diferential in
favor sofsAmerican bottoms, though this has been rem
dered ineffective in administration, on account of
its violation Of existing treaties. But the declaration
tor exemption from tolls is tneauivocal aud is binding
on the President bnd his party. There was another
declaration which will require additional legislation,
