What Baby Should Wear.

Too much clothing. too little baby.
The baby who is overdressed in sum-
mer soon becomes fretful. pale and Ian
guild and like any adult under similar
conditions shows signs of heat ex-
hsustiou. The wise mother strips her
baby of practically all it's clothing.
leaving on only the diaper and the
band during the greater part of the hot
days. Then if cool breeze springs up
she can easily slip on a light cotton
shirt and slip or a little knitted Jacket
or wrapper 1t is not only torture to
baby, but very injurious to keep him
bundled in n heavy shirt, flannel petit
coat and blankets or knitted shawls.
The baby does not need it any more
than his mother does. and 1t does him
the same harm il would do his mother.
He is much more likely to have colds
and summer complaint when he has
been weakened by the excessive heat
Of too many clothes.
The ideal way to dress the baby is
in a very few, very simple garments
Cotton garments are best for the baby
in summer Atwood bands. shirts and
stockings should not be worn at any
time of the year. and in hot weather
only the thinnest all-cotton or linen
clothing should touch the baby's skin.
All he needs are: First, n diaper; sec
ond, a hand-unhemmed strips of fan
mel until the navel has healed, then a
knitted band with shoulder straps
should he substituted. Bands Of any
sort must not bind" a band If drawn
tightly about the abdomen. instead of
preventing rupture may produce it.
Third, a simple little cotton slip made
from lawn. nainsook or longcloth with
kimono sleeves. These are the basis
of the baby's costume. On cooler days
light cotton shirt. cotton or merino
stockings covering the knees. cot
ton or light flannel petticoat light
Do not add all these garments unless
the weather is much cooler.
A baby may usually go bareheaded
cap is worn at all it should be of the
softest material, unstarched and with
all seams made on the outside
The diaper should be changed as
soon as it is wet or soiled, because
If the baby is allowed to go in ii
diaper not clean and dry the skin
soon becomes sore and chafed, and that
in itself is enough TO make the baby
sick in summer. All clothing must be
loose, SO that all the little growing
and expanding muscles and organs
may have plenty of room to develop:
and babys clothes never should he
etarched. Starched dresses and petit
coats are source of much suffering
and may cause serious chatting

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af- fected with that weakening, tickling cough, they need immediate and sen- 'sible treatment. The breath seems shorter because of mucous obstvuc- tions; usually fever is present and your head jars with every cough. Your chest aches and the inhamma7 ton often spreads to the lungs.
 i The food-tonic that has proven it's worth for forty years-is Scott's Emul7 sion. It drives out the cold, which is the root of the trouble, and checks the cough by aiding the healing process of the enfeebled membranes.
 If you are troubled with bronchitis or know an afflicted friend, always re- member that Scott's Emulsion builds strength while relieving the trouble. lN-61 Scott &Bown-. Bloom6e,d. NJ.

as to which town would be responsi- ble for the expense incident to the funeral of Frank Grant, who died yesterday at the home of his sister in the Birchville district. Each town claimed that the man was resident of the other. Plainville finally won out, the selectmen in Southington eventually conceded that Grant was a charge of the town of Southington and as a result that place would have to arrange for the burial of his body.
 Grant had been i'll for some time. He was about sixty years of age.
 While he lived in the section popu- lated by the negroes and was looked on as a darkey, Grant always claimed that he was an Indian. His father declared himself a member of the "redskin" tribe and denied that there was any negro blood in his veins.
 His funeral will be held tomorrow and the Southington selectmen have arranged for burial in the neighbor- ing town
 Speculation at Depot
 The visit yesterday afternoon of members of the public utilities com mission to the local depot and freight yards of the New Haven road has caused considerable speculation among railroad employees and today the officials were the chief topic of conversation around the station.
 EmplOyes were quizzed by the com- missioners regarding many matters in the daily routine at the place but no intimatiOn was given as to the cause of the visit. It is thought, how

 May Not Insure Bremen.
 While the selectmen are still con- sidering propositions of insurance panies to insure members of the fire department, it is expected that the board will decide against the plan this year on account of the sub stantial increase in the premiums charged.
 All companies want $15 a year for each f1remen for protection under the compensation law. It would cost Plainville s450 a year under this ar engagement.
 The present policies insuring the town employees expires on February l and a renewal should be made on that date.
 The selectmen expect, however, that the present legislature will amend the law making it unnecessary to insure the firemen. Should such an effort Will deISdte0, IL may De arranged to make the Hose company a volunteer organization. This plan is favored by many.

 Notice of the selectmen's decision to i ignore the resolution passed by the | recent town meeting giving all polit- i ical parties equal rights in the use | of the town building has been for | warded to Roswell C..

 The Hardware City has been made } the defendant in a number of suits brought by East Berlin parties among which are the East Berlin Milling company, Richard Beckley, Mrs. Nc Clintock and MT. Budack.
 Since the local board of selectmen accompanied Mayor George A. Quig- ley and Superintendent of Sewers O'Brien of New Britain to the sewer beds last spring and pointed out wherein the city was neglectful, some steps have been taken to improve conditions and, it is said, that the crude sewage is not allowed to flow into the river nearby any longer It is understood that some of the East Berlin residents who are plain 4ffs in the suits against the Hardware city have been approached by the mayor an dothers with view to affecting permanent settlement. The fact that none of the cases have, as get been withdrawn would indicate
