OH! WHAT so RARE AS
 FISHING ON A JULY DAY!
 By DOLLY DALRYMPLE
" E went fishing the other day. M What did you say?

No, not anybody and IT." but just I-but just ''1'' and some others. l won't tell you their names. but they were deliciously, foolishly young.
 We didn't catch much except a little more happiness than we started out with, though we had the best of fishing tackle.
 We also had caravan of covered bas- kets packed with ''goodies,' and large 'thermos" bottles filled with Iced tea and claret cup and things like that.
 Not being fishermen, we didn't know that it was trife late for trout Have you ever noticed, by the way, that 1t Is always too late for trout if 1t isn't too early?
 I wonder where trout go when they are not at home? Or is 1t that they are there and are only tempted by bait at certain inta ngible seasons?
 Or worse still. does the talking and gig sling and going on of the silly fisher men and fisherwomen frighten them away?
 The little verse about the girl fishing for husband might be applied to fish, ing for a fish:
 ohc WAS anH lnB TOT a nusDanQ
 With rare and dainty touch,
 But alasl she didn't catch one
 Cause the maiden talked too much"
 Anyway, we went fishing, and we didn't go in automobiles or modern conveyances at all. but in old, rickety wagons that bumped and thumped over hills and things until we got to wonderful place, where the water looked like glass and the little trees that gfllC< in md in, ba stream seemed as If they had deliberately chosen that spot of all others in the world to live in, and you couldn't blame them.
 We piled in behind the lazy, old, white horse, who was hltched to one of the wagons while the red-headed girl with us shied over to the other wagon, which was pulled by a dashing black steed, and we logged along and giggled as people do at everything in the good old summer time
 Reaching our destination, we deposited the baskets in nice, cool place and began to survey "Tennysons Brook" in all its glory
 How it got there is immaterial, but there 1t was.

 When we unwound our lines and began to fish the very first pop out of the box turned out to be almost disastrous, for somebody in the crowd threw their line out and instead of hauling in a perfectly good fish, caught his hook In 'sorrel tops hair and of all the times you have ever heard of, it was ours trying to unwind that beautiful hair from about that nasty fish hook.
 It really was terribly funny. though, and when we finished we were all so weak from laughter that we hardly felt equal to the task of continuing our fishing per- formance.
 We did, though, and went our separate ways casting with awkward gestures our lines and catching them in stones and bushes. and patiently @ stopping to un- tangle them, but we kept our distance. you may be sure, for fear that hooks

Warm the bottle before feeding to baby. l All nipples and bottles should be cleaned and boiled once each day Keep the nipples dry in a clean covered glass. 1 Do not feed the baby more than every four hours the baby's stomach must have chance to rest or the baby will get sick.
 Ar overfed baby is usually an irritable, crying baby. A normal baby sleeps from Is to 20 hours day. The more fresh air and sunshine the baby gets the better 1t will sleep. Keep the windows open all day and all night except in the heat of the midday sun.
 Screen your windows and doors, as flies are carriers of disease. Many cases of summer diarrhoea are due to germs car red by flies. Keep decaying fruit and
 Have the baby vaccinated when a few months old.
 If the baby has diarrhoea stop all food give only boiled water, and see your doctor at once. Dc not wash out the babys mouth. Babies are sick much more often dur ing July and August, which fact has months.
 Accordingly the mother should do all in her power to keep the baby cool dur ing these days. Here we shall feel again the stringent circumstances that have made 1t SO neoes- sary to slash the good department work of this city.

l The following rules on how to keep the baby well, copied from a report of the Infant Welfare association of Chicago, should be circulated broadcast by indi- viduals to prospective mothers and to mothers of very little babies. A card with these rules may be gotten out by the Birmingham association at some later date. but until this Is possible these clippings may serve the same pur- pose.
 HOW TO KEEP THE BABY WELL.
 Mothers. nurse your babies. The great est good you can do your children is to nurse them the first year. Nurse your baby only four times during the day, at a. m., 10 a. m., p. m., B p. m. and once at night If the Infant cries between feelings give 1t some boiled water. A baby cries oftener from thirst than from hunger.
 Dress your baby only in loose fitting clothes, so that 1t can move its legs and arms.
 The baby should have only one feeding between D. m. and 6 a. m. The baby ought to sleep alone. The pest ana sarest way 10 raise your baby is to nurse 1t. Ten bottle-fed babies die to one that Is , breast-fed. Before weaning the baby come to an h. fant welfare station.
 Do not pick up the baby each time that 1t cries. Teach 1t from the beginning to be content alone. The baby must have tub bath every day, and on very warm days, sponge with cool water once or twice daily.
 Do no feed the baby anything the doctor did not prescribe.
 Keep your milk bottles in an ice box in cool water.
