Baby Champion Swimmer

cle in New York paper tells just how mothers ought to teach their babies to swim as soon as they are big enough to paddle around in a bathtub.
 l am five years old. I like swim ming and diving better than any thing else. Papa tells me that some peOple-grown-u people, too cant swim at all, but l think he is only kidding me, because swimming is just as easy as walking, and everybody can walk.
 No matter how deep the water am not afraid. Sometimes when Alfred, my brother, takes me out canoeing he tips the canoe over and We both fall in the water, but that's nothing. Falling in the Wa ter doesn't scare me at all, because all you've got to do is swim around until the canoe is righted and then climb in. If you are near the shore you can easily swim in.
 I don't remember when I first learned to swim. It must be ever so long ago--when I was tiny baby. Papa always used to play with me in the bathtub. It was lots of fun He used to fill the bathtub up right to the very top and then I used to get in
 The water used to go in my eyes and ears and nose and mouth and didn't like that very much, but papa said if I would float on top Of the water the water would not bother me at all All you've got to do is to lie perfectly still on your back, with your head almost under the

Outside of their neighbors, who have known of the estrangc- ment for years. but have carefully refrained from mentioning it, the unique conversational separation of the couple did not become known to the world until their home was destroyed by fire recently
 Few persons know the cause of the gulf between the Wings. and they treasure their secret. It began two years after their marriage half century ago. Both have endured the situation and both apparently have lived happy, contented and use full lives. Their only conversation during the long span of time has been carried on through the medium of 8 third person.

II is rather an awful moment when for the first time, you hold your naked. squirming, slippery, probably shreking baby upon your knees and look down into the little tub of water at your side. VIII it be possible to make the journey safely? The tub takes upon itself the proportions of a perilous sea, and you wonder if you can possibly get him in and out alive, What mother has not felt the awful paog. when once lowered safely. you try 10 wash him, and your unskilled hands tumble piteously and the baby be gins to cry. You think you are of little use and your own lip quivers. Indeed. one poor mother l know fanted when the last string was tied and the ordeal safely over, gay a writer in the Louisville Courier Journal.
 One way to make the baby's bah less trying is to have a little bas- ket filled with everything needed This relieves you of the strain of having to remember each article and also of the embarrassment of finding. for instance just as you begin to wash the baby that you have no soap. Here is what the baby basket should contain:
 \ box of talcum powder or rice powder
 A jar of white vaseline.
 \ cake of pure castillo soap.
 A box of absorbent cotton.
 Safety pins. Three different sizes
 A bottle of boric acid so.nion 1o grains to the ounce).

WHAT A CORN IS;
 HOW TO CURE IF
q ct z, (, . q tt q o . . (,

Firing man may spurn the rage of gain. but rot corn that gives an guish, says Dr. Hirshberg, of the Johns Hopkins University. If his feet are forgotten. if they yield him no ache, he may save himself from folly, vanity and vice, and every low pursuit; he may feed his soul with knowledge, conscious peace and virtue pure. Sacred, substantial, never fading bliss may be his But not if he has sore feet
 Like the soldiers in the European strife, the feet are always digging trenches. Unlike them however. the pedal eXtremities receive little atten- tion or comfort from their comman- ders. Fashion usually does violence to the feet, and what that Tickle dame omits to do. tradition and bootmakers lay on.
 Of all the barbaric misdemeanors of alleged civilization, the supreme abomination is the stiff, leather shoe. These abhorrent straitjackets of what were once prehensile feet keep them the useless and tormented in- habitants of the slough of despond which you know so we'll
 Physiologically the foot should, like the hands, be ever unshod The ancient Hebrews, Egyptians, Greeks and the holy fathers of the early Christian church went either bare footed or sandal shod. The inno- cent babes of today who lightly draw their breath, seize objects with their active and supple little toes. Older children who retain this magic grasp wear only sandals.
 Since the feet, unlike the frail craft that puts to sea, need not be encased in sounding brass, ribs of steel and multiplied oak, there is need now, once and forever, to dis card all leather shoes.
 The toes, as we'll as the muscles joints and fragments of the feet. are meant to be mobile and active All of their ardor and ambition are frozen stiff ty the congealing wall ing-up powers of leather.
 Obviously some soft material such as gloves or other garments are made of might obviate the shock ing and immoral" custom of ba- bies and pet dogs of running bare footed along the modest thorough fares of conventional people
 One of the crimes and felonies of ill-ftting boots and other hein- ous leather creations is "corns." Unequal pressure, rubbing, lack of ventilation with squeezing and other mysterious iIritations are to blame for this supersensitlve excrescence. The scarf skin grows and increases in thickness as it presses the cen tral core with eXcruciating agony.
 This boring pain is traceable to the friction and force acting upon the irritated skin beneath the corn. Cut away corn how you will, un- less perfectly fitting and non-lea- ther shoe is worn it will, like the bore, bob up serenely.

III Sdll WdLeF.
 Then papa made me do ny swim ming lesson in the water just as had done it in the parlor only, of course, there wasn't any piano stcol. Rut papa just put one nand under my chin and counted. "One," "Two.' Three" in just the same way, and before I knew it I was swimming all by myself.
 l really think papa must be tell ing fib when he says some grown up people can't swim. because it is so easy.
 Then when I could swim tue breast stroke, papa taught me how to do the dog paddle" and the overland" stroke. They are not very hard and you can go much faster but they tire you more than the breast stroke.
 Diving is the greatest fun. Of course you've got to do it ri,,tt or you get an awful pain in the stomach if your stomach hits the water But after Alfred and papa showed me how to dive I wasn't afraid to dive off anything, no matter how deep the water was.
 This is how l dive when the water is shallow I stand up per fectly straight with my hands at lny sides, then I bend my legs little and draw my arms back of my body and jump forward, with my legs and feet close together and turning my hands upward as soon as l am actually in the water. If you turn your hands down you go down. but if you turn your hands up you come up right away.
 Papa says l will be very good swimmer if l keep it up. He says I will be as good as he is. but guess l won't.
 When I gave diving exhibition at the Sportsman show I wasn't at all afraid, because I knew that couldn't hurt myself It was lots of fun, but some woman said l was too young and papa had to go be. fore some judges about it, but they said it was all right and so I guess can just go right ahead.
