Milk Crust.
This is a skin disease affecting the
scalp, in which ycilcwish, scaly patches
appear on the baby's head. These
patches should be softened by anoint-
ing them with olive oil or vaselin at
night. and the head washed with warm
water and CASTLE soap in the morning.
If the crust does not readily come
away, repeat the process until the scalp
is clean. Never Use fine comb no.
the finger nails t. remove the crusts,
as the slightest irritation Of the skin
will cause the disease to spread fur
Their. The scales will usually disap-
pear after few days Of careful treat
ment.
Constipation.
II the baby does not have at least
one full bowel movement in twenty
four hours or in thirty-six at the out
side, he is in need OF such care as will
bring about this result. Breast-fed
babies often respond TO an increased
supplv Of laxative food in the mothers
diet. If this is not sufficient, six
months old baby may have a table
spoonful of strained orange juice be-
tween two of his morning feelings.
Bottle fed Dabes may have fruit
Juice in the same WY and thin oatmeal
cruel may be substituted for barley
water in making ur the feelings after
the baby is four months old.
Perhaps the best preventive of con-
stipation is to teach the baby to move
the bowels at the same hour every day.
This training should be begun when
the baby is three months old, and
should be faithfully continued until
the habit is firmly established. Not
only does this practice establish in the
baby from the beginning Of his life a
custom which viii greatly increase his
chances for good health, but results in
an enormous saving of work to the
mother. She NJ longer finds herself
confronted with pile of soiled diapers
to wash, but instead gives fifteen min
utes of careful attention to the baby
each morning.
Directions for carrying out this
training are given IN the pamphlet on
infant care, already mentioned. Do
not use enemas for the relief OF con-
stipation save IT, emergencies, and do
not resort to purgstive medicines ex-
cept with the Doctors advice.

of a strike by the fifty employees,
who refused to work until they were
paid for neir first months services.
The strikers took possession of the
hotel 'sst week, feeding themselves,
but refusing to serve the twenty five
guests. They sat on the veranda and
strolled about the lawns, while the
bunger-stricken rest-seekers prowled
about the kitchen for crackers and
cheese. F. NJ. Rogers, manager OF the
hotel. ex-manager of the Sherman

York, was powerless to act, as be. did
not have the money TO paw of his men
or the necessary force TO keep them in

Matters reached a climax last Satur-
day, when the employees put out all the
lights. smashed the vietrola and piano
and guarded the storerooms so the
guests could not get food. rogers
threatened TO get the police. and the
men said they would set fire to the

Prickly Heat.
One Of the troubles from which a
baby often suffers in summer is prickly
heat. This ailment appears as fine
shoulders. and gradually spreads to
the head, face and arms. II is caused
by overheating. due either to the hot
weather or TO the fact that the baby is
too warmly dressed. The rash comes
and goes with the heat. and causes in
tense itching. The reno y for it is to
take off all the clothing and give the
baby a sponge bath in tepid water ii
which common baking soda has been
dissolved. Use one tablespoonful of
soda TO two quarts of water Use no
soap, and do not rub the skin. hut pat
it dry with a soft towel. After the
skin is thoroughly dry dust the in
famed surfaces with a plain talcum
powder
This ailment. like all others. is more
readily prevented than cured. Ere
quent cool baths, very little clothing.
simple food and living in cool rooms or
in the open air will probably save the
summer baby from much of the an
noyance of prickly heat and other more
serious ills

Chatting.

Fat babies are very liable to suffer
from chatting, especially in hot weather.

Much of the same treatment is re-
quired as in prickly heat. Never use
soap OF an infamed skin. Instead, use
soda, bran or starch bath. Drec-
tions for these baths are given in a
publication called Infant Care" which
may te had. free of charge. by address
ing a request to the Chief Of the Chill
dren's Bureau, United States Depart

Great care should be taken not to let
the baby scratch the skin when it is
irrtated. Sft together two parts
powdered cornstarch and one part boric
acid, and use it freely on the chafed
places. Remove wet or soiled diapers
at once. Wash and dry the flesh

at is such n horrible waste to kill
man-to destroy all the good in him
with the bad all the strength. cour
age. and resourcefulness, all the 10y
atty and tenderness to those he loves.
"Of course criminal selfshness ought
to be destroyed. But we don't execute
the people whose selfshness causes the
greatest misery, and many, we value
too highly the good that is in them.
isn't it time that we should find a
more effective way TO deal with the
enemies of society than by killing
them? People are so strongly opposed
to the death penalty that it is almost
impossible to get juries to convict for
murder in the first degree. They wei
come the faintest shadow of doubt or
possibility Of justification.
"As a matter of fact there are convic-
tions in only II per cent Of the trials
for murder in Massachusetts, and IL
per cent in Connecticut. While in
Rhode Island, where the death penalty
was abolished after an innocent man
was hanged, four times as many con-
victions for murder arc secured as in
Massachusetts, and Connecticut. That Is
to say. a murderer has far better
chance to escape unpublished in states
which retain the death penalty. This
may be the reason the number Of muir
ders decreased when the death penalty
was abolished in Michigan and in Hol-
land.
"The shock OF an execution is so
painful TO all of us; the thought that
we as citizens have been responsible
for killing a mantle cold-blooded
brutality is so hideous that | can't
understand why we endure il any
longer.

peance. We've outgrown torture, we've
abolished the death penalty for such
Mosaic offences as eating leavened bread
during the Passover, and for l59 other
offences which were punished by death
in England in the seventeenth century.
Tho death penalty for murder has
been abolished in several states and the
number of murders has nowhere been
increased.

BY NINE. JEAN ALCIDE PICARD.

Paris, July 20.-A great wave OF
emotion went through all France when
it was learned two weeks ago that, by
kind decision of our generalissimo, all
the men fighting at the front would
enjoy a well deserved holiday. Now
they are all coming back for six days
to their families, and after these long
months Of separation and danger the
wonderful happiness of all may be
imagined.
II is good to see them again, even
though it be for a little while, these
men so courageously given up TO the
country; to ascertain with ones own
eyes that they are really still alive,
that they have come unframed through
all the unspeakable dangers, the dread
ful winter, the epidemics and hardships,
and that we have them once more, quite
well, stronger.
Their morale is wonderful; they do
not underestimate the strength and
courage VI 'Heit eHe"iAeS' D"e my
the quiet conviction that they shall
"have them" in the end.
Their appearance has been surprise
to good many. According to the well
accredited legend of the "Toilu' we
had rather expected to see ragged, hairy
creatures, wearing with some affecta-
ton the glorious but untidy clothes
they have made illustrious in many
fights during the winter and spring.
Some wives and mothers were even
wondering with some misgivings what
kind of men would come back to us;
would not the moral and physical
transformation be too great for them
ever to take up again the peaceful and
simple life Of ours? How unjust all
these doubts! From the trenches they
come smart and alert; the faces are
