day, and when he is restless and the
weather very hot he may have one or
two sponge baths in addition. For a
young baby the water should be slight
ly warm or tepid. The mother may
test it by dipping her elbow into the
water. If it feels just pleasantly warm
1t will be right for the baby. After he
Is q year old the water may be cooler,
but should never be cold enough to
shock or frighten him, for baby
should find his bath a great delight
Use only mild soap like CASTLE and
very little of it, rinsing the skin thor
oughly afterward. A baby's skin Is
very sensitive and may be made sore
by a harsh soap. If any redness or
chafing appears use no soap at all. but
try a bran bath.
Make a little bag Of thin cheesecloth
and partly fill it with ordinary bran.
Sew or tie the open side and put in the
bath water, squeezing it until the wa
ter is milky.
When the baby has prickIy heat he
may be sponged with a bath made by
dissolving tablespoonful Of ordinary
baking soda in two quarts of water.
1t is important to keep not only the
skin clean. but the clothing also. The
diaper should be changed as soon as 1t
is wet, for a wet or soiled diaper is
quite sure to make the baby's skin
sore If worn for any length of time.
The country mother has the advantage
in being able to dry the diapers in the
sunshine after they have been washed
or to spread them on the grass to
bleach and sweeten. Every soiled dia.
per should be placed at once in COW
cred pail until it can be washed.
The baby needs very little clothing
in hot weather On the hottest days
he may go with nothing on but his
diaper, and, possibly one other thin
garment. The mother will, of course,
be ready to dress him as necessary to
prevent him from chill when the
weather cools. Clothe the baby in as
few soft, clean. simple garments as
will serve to make him comfortable
and happy.
Plenty of cool drinking water Is es-
sential. Babies and young children
often suffer for lack Of this. 1t may
be given from n nursing bottle before
the baby is old enough to drink from
cup. The water for the baby should
be boiled and cooled, as even clean look
ing water may contain germs of disease
which are killed by the boiling process
Give the baby drink several times
! day between meals and at night
when he wakens.

By Which Canada Handles
War Prisoners

Ottawa, Ont, June 26-Canada has.
on its hands, at present, four thou~
sand prisoners of war. They are lo~
Gated at series of camps and sta.
tions, those willing to work being pro-
vided the comforts of camp life, and
the sulky and suspicious being held
ir stations or barracks.
The proportion of prisoners on the
basis of nationality is three Austrians
to one German. Consequently, there
are, roughly speaking, 1900 Austrians
and 1000 Germans, besides a score
or SO of Turks.
The Austrians are. easy to handle.
They give no trouble whatever, plod.
ding ahead apparently not worrying
much about the war or it's outcome.
Some of them averred that they did
not know the war was on until round-
ed up. On the other hand, the Ger
man prisoners need more attention.
Very few, il any, of them are engaged
on outside works. Any difficulty that
crops up originates from Germans.
who are more restive, more given to
intrigue and trouble-making, though
nothing very serious has been at
tempted thus far.
The camps are situated at Spirit
Lake, Que, Kapukasing, Ont, Pete
wawa, Valcartier, and at Arrow Lake
in the Banff park. The internment
stations are at Halifax, Amherst.
Kingston, Brandon, Lethbridge, Ver-
non and Nanaimo, B. c.
The largest camp is at Spirit Lake..
where 900 Austrians are engaged in
clearing land for model farm, while
at Kapukasing about 700 are occu-
pied with similar operations. A num-.
Der of families of the interned aliens
are accommodated, and it is stated at
headquarters that a goodly number Of
colonize the district after the war.
OF the Germans interned, about 600
are in barracks at Halifax, 300 at
Amherst and 250 at Kingston. II all
the suggestions for internment were
entertained, the war prisoner popula-
tion would be swelled tremendously =
AS it is, the situation is regarded in
| official quarters as well in hand.
The prisoners of war are dealt with
under the regulations prescribed by
The Hague tribunal. They are served
food on the same lines as men at the
front. Where they work, an allow
ance of % cents day is made. If
doing nothing, the prisoners do not
get this.
The regulations are strict and for
violation of any of them various de-
grees of punishment are prescribed.
| The severest of these is solitary con-
| finement, and a diet of bread and wa
| fer

Care Of
Babies In
Summer

Prepared by the chidren'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-
cessive 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 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 1t 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 al
the same time affords him the fresh ali
he needs.
The poorest place in the house fol
the baby to stay in Is the kitchen
which is necessarily the hottest one
When the mother has to be busy in heI
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 coolies
room in the house. A play pen will bt
great help in combining runabou
baby within safe bounds. 1t may b.
used indoors or out, with a rug OF
blanket In the bottom.
The baby should be kept clean ant
cool by frequent baths. He ought Il
have at least one full tub bath ever!

ed, is still in an unconscious or rath-
er semi-comatose condition.
Miss Lewis can be aroused from
her stupor and, when asked If she

Miss Cramer is in excellent shape
and has recovered from her frightful

"SHE!" WHATCHA MEAN?

Leonard Kelly of Mt. Vernon came
up with the Commandery of that city
yesterday and attended the Masonic

with the "big lights" Although "Kel'
is an expert stenographer fully cap
able of holding down any such po-

(The Writer)

Newspaper English" Is referred 10
often in a sighting way, although news
papers generally are written in good
English--much OF 1t particularly strong
bright and brilliant English-and many
of the errors which the critics note
with scorn are the result of necessary
haste in preparing copy, topographic
errors, or oversights in the rush OF
proofreading. The important news.
papers are very well written, as a rule,
and such faults as they show are fire.
quently excusable Less leDiency is
due in the case of faulty English in
books and magazines, which are pre-.
pared with more leisure, so that those
who are guilty of lapses in expression
do not have the excuse of hurry. The
authors, in the first place, ought to
take more pains in writing, and if they
are careless or ignorant, the editors
ought to give more attention to revi
sion. For instance, the editor of the
Atlantic Monthly-once meticulously

month before the Atlantic printed a
story the heroine of which sits partly
prone in her worm-eaten armchair" !"
Mr.. Aldrich, Mr.. Howells, or Mr.. Per-
ry would not have let thatpass.
One of the March magazines had a
story in which one of the characters
is made to say: what, therefore, was
our surprise to find Tish sitting by the
fire in her bathrobe and slippers, with
a cup of tea in her lap, and her feet
in tub of water" In Munsey's Maga-
zine story writer says: "The walk
had been long and sunny. Davidson
stood wiping his wet neck on the piaz-
"a" and in the same magazine anoth-
er story writer tells us: James awoke
with fine sensation of uplife in head
and heart. Victoria had kissed her
hand to him! He loved the world. He
breakfasted on a corner of the writing
table,"
Sometimes authors put their ch2rac-
ters in strange positions. Edith Whar.
ton, in "The Custom of the Country
writes: "He woke on a stony beach,
his legs and arms still lashed to his
Sides" Isabel Gorden Curtis innocent
ly says of one of her characters: "He
stood poised on his crutches, with his
one leg swinging impatiently like {
pointers tail awaiting the masters

rose and stood before the mantel, his
hands clasped behind his back, and

story in the New Story Magazine we
are told: HE turned with them to see
the dancing girl prone upon the floor

But Auditor DOnahey May
Cause Some Trouble

Columbus, O., June 26-It now de-
velops that not only was the operation
of the state highway department under
the new regime begun with overriding
of the law, but it is being continued
with full knowledge of both of the
highway commissioner and the gov
ernor. Under the present highway law
with its excellent bipartisan features,
which continues in force until Septem-
Der, it is provided that there shall be
three deputy commissioners of opposite
politics from the chief. When James
Marker resigned to accept a better
position, he left vacancy IN the staff,
the reputies continuing being A. H.

lain, Republican, one, Shoemaker, Re.
publican, having been dismissed for the
good of the department. This left a
vacancy to. be filled by a Democrat,
but when Willis named Clinton Cowan
commissioner he insisted that G. R.
Sharp, Republican, of Williams coun.
ty, be given the job. Though unknown
to Cowan, Sharp was appointed April
1 and has been drawing his salary just
as if holding according to law. When
seen this week Cowan said he had no
intention Of complying with the law be-
cause the Cass bill goes into effect in
a couple of months. He may change
his mind, however, when State Auditor
Donahey investigates the matter and
issues his order about law compliance
on the part of those who draw public
money.
Here's a parallel between two gov
ernors. In Pennsylvania the general
assembly repealed the so-called full
train crew law which the railway COM
panies considered grievous burden.
Governor Martin Brumbaugh vetoed
the repeal bill because, as he stated in
his message, the railway lobby exercis-
ed undue influence upon the legislat-
ors. Here in Ohio the general assembly
repealed the Green law requiring coal
miners to be paid for all the product
of the mine mouth. The mine owners,
like the Pennsylvania railway inter-
ests, considered the statute as unfair
and burdensome. Their lobby was ac-
tive, so much to that the governor was
compelled to use his influence to de-
feat the bill when it was first brought
to vote. But the lobby was undis-
mayed and again returned to the battle
line, finally winning a victory. Did
Governor Willis veto the measure? He
did not. On the contrary he signed it.
but said that if conditions weren't bet
tered by the change, he would ask to
have it repealed. Now both the min
ers and the operators are not rising
up and calling him blessed. but wabbly
is the term they use.
