Care Of
Babies In
Summer

prepared By the children's bureau, Unit
States department Of labor.l
Many thousands OF babies die every
summer, and many thousands more
suffer from illness because OF the ex-
eessiye heat Bottle fed babies form
the greater part OF the number, owing
to the great difficulty OF keeping cows
milk sweet In summer, but even breast
fed babies need very particular care
during July and August
The first and most important thing
In the care OF the baby through the
hot weather is to give him the right
food. The value OF breast milk to
babies has been brought out In an
earlier article. The next most impor-
tant thing to do for the baby is to
make him as comfortable as possible
by plenty OF baths, sleep, fresh air and
light clothing.
The baby should have a constant
supply Of clean air to breathe, summer
and winter. day and night. Do not be
afraid to take him out OF doors In
the country it Is very little trouble to
give the baby plenty OF out OF door
life. A screened porch on the shady
side OF the house Is an invaluable aid
to the mother in the care OF the baby.
II makes a safe place for him to stay,
awake or asleep, protects him from his
enemies, the fly and mosquito, and at
the same time affords MIN the fresh air
be needs.
The poorest place in the house for
the baby 10 stay in Is the kitchen,
which Is necessarily the hottest one.
When the mother has to be busy In her
kitchen the baby should be kept out Of
doors as much as possible, and during
the warmer weather, when the out OF
door air is hotter than that indoors,
the baby should be kept in the coolest
room in the house. a play pen VIII be
a great help in combining a runabout
baby within safe bounds. II may be
used indoors or out, with a rug or
blanket in the bottom.
The baby should be kept clean and
cool by frequent baths. He ought to
have at least one full tub bath every

Boy Scout Baseball.

The scOutmaster takes a question
from a list of questions and fires 1t at
the batter. If the batter misses it
completely it counts as three strikes,
and a correct answer by the catcher
puts out the batter. II the batter an
swers the question correctly another
question goes to an Outfelder, who
makes a putOut or allows a safe hit by
answering correctly or by missing. II
the batter's answer is partly right, he
Is considered to knock the ball to an
infielder, who makes an error or put
out at first, depending on whether he
misses or answers the next question
II a runner on a base wants to Try TO
steal, a question is sent to the inhelder

put out the runner II an infielder
wants to catch a runner mapping, he
calls for a question. the missing OF
which allows each runner to proceed
TO the next base. OF course his correct
answer puts out the mapping runners
To be impartial, it Is best to take the
questions in regular order-e. g. the
seventh. seventeenth, twenty-seventh,
etc, throughout the list The list may
easily be made by any scoutmaster, who
may find IT desirable to write the an

THE SUNNY SIDE.

Do Not Envy Your Neighbori he Has
Troubles of His Own.
Don't allow yourself to fall into the
way OF thinking that you have all the

that the scales are unevenly balanced

such a train OF thought.
Life is. after all, very square, very
even. II we have sorrows we also
have joys. II we have shadows we
also have sunshine. But neither you
nor any one Of us can have monopoly
OF either the shadows or the sunbeams;
we each have an equal share Of both.
And II any one of US seems to have
more than his share OF shadows, II he
seems to have been given the lions
share of care and trouble, it IS only be
cause he does not make the most OF
the sunshine while It is with him he
Is too busy worrying about the sorrow
he has had and the care he may have
In the future to enjoy the happiness Of
the present
Don't envy your neighbor who rolls
about In a high priced automobile,
while you have to walk He has his
share OF troubles, even though poverty
may not be among them Don't wish
you were In his place just because he
seems to have every luxury. If you
were In his place you might give any
thing to be back home again In your
own home.
Our happiness Is such as we make It
II is lying ready within hands reach.
We have only to stretch out our arms

OF us are too busy looking for trouble
TO see the happiness at our door. Most
Of us are no sooner through with the

Queen Milena Of Montenegro, though
somewhat Overshadowed by the az.
Tessive personality OF King Nicholas,
enjoys a unique distinction, that of be-
ing mother-in-law to more royalty than
any other woman in Europe.
Sire l have noticed that Montene-
gro has no exports" once remarked a
distinguished foreign traveller to King
Nicholas.
Monsieur, you forget my daughters"
wittily retorted the reIgning monarch
The retort was justified, for queer
little Montenegro has supplied two
monarchs and three other important
royal personages with wives One
Montenegrin princess is the present
queen Of Italy, and another now would
be queen OF Servia but for her premA-
ture death, while three other daugh-
tiers Of Prince Nicholas are the Grand
Duchess Militia Of Russia, the Duchess
Anastasia Of Leuchtenbefg and Prin-
cess Anna OF Battenberg.
The number Of brides that Montene-
gro has supplied to the courts Of Eu-
rope is altogether disprOpOrtionate to
the size and Importance Of the little
country. Montenegro has an area Of
$500 square miles and population Of
q quarter OF a million The capital,
Cetinje, Is a village with population
Of 5000. The prmcely palace IN which
so many distinguished royal brides
were born and brought up Is a modest
structure, In which a moderately sue
cessful American tradesman would
never condescend to dwell
But In these modest surroundings the
princesses of Montenegro grew up to
be splendid specimens OF womanhood
As children they enjoyed the greatest
liberty and escaped the restraints OF
court etiquette, which are the curse Of
most royal boys and girls. In the
severe winters which are experienced
in the country Of the black hills, as
Montenegro Is called In the Balkans,
the princesses were encouraged to har-
den their constitutions by sleighing,
running In snowshoes, skating and In
dulging In other cold weather sports
and pastimes At the warmer seasons
Of the year they made long excursions
into the wooded and mountainous In
terror and PAID frequent visits to the
princes villa on the shores Of the
Adriatic sea- By the time they were
In their teens they could ride bare
back horse, drive a four-in-hand, hunt
and shoot, swim and sail or row boat
to perfection.
While thus enjoying childhood to the
full, the royal girls were educated by
French and German tutors and govern
eSSes, who polished on the rOughness
which might otherwise have become
apparent In their characters. Prince
Nicholas allowed each of his daughters
to run wild In Montenegro until six
teen years Of age, after which the
Processes were sent to Vienna and
Paris to gain a knowledge Of the west
ern world, with fits totally different
manners and customs. After attaining
her seventeenth birthday each princess
spent six months Of the year abroad
and six months in Montenegro. and this
plan proved to be an effective conclu-
sion to an excellent scheme OF educa-
ton. The Montenegro princesses de-
Teloped from tomboy girls into women
OF unusual grace and beauty, Of excep-
donal personal distinction and Of re-
markable talent in many directions.
