MINOR AILMENTS.


A baby may be made uncomfortable
and restless by various causes which
are readily removed. Attention has
already been called to the fact that
babies and young children frequently
suffer from thirst They should be
offered drink of water several times
a day, and particularly in hot wealth
er. When baby cries in the night,
a drink will often quiet him, and send
him to sleep.
Irritating clothing is at times re-
sponsible for the baby's fretfulness
Wooden socks, or shirts, or stiff cap
strings are quite enough to spoil his
comfort, even if he is well, and in hot
weather especially, a superabundance
of clothing is frequently responsible
for much suffering.
Dress the baby in the lighteSt cotton
garments and keep him as cool as
possible. Do not be afraid to let him
have nothing on but his diaper and
one other thin garment on the very
hot days.
PrickIy Heat.
One of the troubles from which a
baby often suffers in summer is prickIy
heat. This ailment appears as a fine
red rash usually On the neck and
shoulders and gradually spreads to the
head, face and arms. 1t 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 intense itching. The remedy
for it is to take off all the clothing
and give the baby a sponge bath in
tepid water in which common baking
soda has been dissolved. Use 1 table
spoonful of soda to two quarts of wa
ter. Use no soap, ond do not rub the
skin, but pat it dry with soft towel.
After the skin is thoroughly dry, dust
the infiamed surfaces with a plain
talcum powder.
This ailment, like all others, is
more readily prevented than cured.
Frequent cool baths, very little cloth
ing, simple food and living in cool
rooms, or in the open air will probably
save the summer baby from much of
the annoyance of prickly heat and 9th
er more serious ills.
Chafng.
Fat babies are very apt to suffer
from chatting, especially in hot wealth
er. 1t appears as a redness of the
skin in the buttocks or in the arm
pits, or wherever two skin surfaces
persistently rub s5g sther.
Much the same treatment is required
as in prickly heat. Never use soap
ON an infiamed skin. Instead use a
soda, bran or starch bath. Directions
for these baths are given in publ
cation called Infant Care, which may

Messrs. Everett, Anderson, Nor

uncertain, as there was no chaperon
provided.
Please tell us if we were right to
decline. Two Chums.
Oh, but I'd like to meet you, Two
Chums, / am so truly thankful that
there are two girls in this city who
will ask advice on the subject of ex-
cursions. Unpopular as my opinion is
likely to be, the fact remains that d
chaperon should be provided for moon
light trips The sights on the hurri-
cane deck are ample proof of this.
If the boys ask you again, just say
that you will go if a chaperon is to
accompany you. Most people will say
you are prudes-but l call that rather
complimentary, don you? !
Dear Betty Brown: | will be six
teen soon, and am of the ordinary
type, while my older sister is consid-
cred beautiful. 1t seems as though
every boy we meet asks if he can come
to see her. | have not had one ask
me yet. They ask her out with them,
and it is very seldom | am asked to
go too. We seem to meet a great
many boys but since they all ask her,
would like very much to have one
come to see me. D. S. NJ. B.
The other day a little girl was told
she would be very pretty some day,
but, much TO the surprise of the speak
er, she answered promptly: ooh,
that don't make so much difference
if you haven't pretty ways" How
about it, d. S. NJ. B.? Have you pretty
ways? Maybe your sisters popularity
is due to her manners as much as to
her attractivenes.
Think Of some of the happy mar
ried women you know and how many
of them are actually beautiful? Do
all that you can to follow the tastes
of the boy you have met. Find out
what they are interested in, and learn
to talk to them in way that will
maintain their interest They may
find it such relief to meet some one
who can talk to them intelligently
that they will be glad to call upon
you. Read the sporting pages of the
daily papers. You don't have to be

up with present-day sports. Anyway,

Great care should be taken not to
let the baby scratch the skin, when it
is irritated. Sift together two parts

soiled diapers at once Wash and dry

ing them with olive Oil or vaseline 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
nor the finger nails to remove the
crusts, as the slightest irritation of
the skin will cause the disease to
spread further. The scales will u.s.
ually disappear after a few days of
careful treatment.
Constipation.
If the baby does not have at least
/ one full bowel movement in "a hours
or in sc at the outside, he is in need
of such care as will bring about this
result Breasted babies often re-
spond to an increased supply of laxa-
tive food in the mothers diet. If this
is not sufficient, six months Old baby
may have tablespoonful of strained
orange juice between two of his morn
ing feelings.
Bottle-fed babies may have fruit
juice in the same way and thin oat-
meal Cruel may be substituted for bar
ley water in making up 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 trainining 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 custom which will greatly in
crease his chances for good health,
but results in an enormous saving of
work to the mother. She no longer
finds herself confronted with a pile
Of soiled diapers to wash, but instead
gives fifteen minutes of careful at
tention to the baby each morning.
Directions for carrying out this
trainig are given in the pamphlet on
Infant Care, already mentioned. Do
not use enemas for the relief of con-
stipation save in emergencies, and do
not resort to purgatfve medicines ex-
cept with the doctors advice.

done in her case and in mine?

any so-called friend of mine treated
me the way yours behaved toward you.
In fact, | am most sure that | would

that your friend was almost unpardon-
ably rude. First of all, there was her

time that she was receiving her male
friend You were both callers, and as
such made equal demands upon her
courtesy. Then, too, | consider it ex-
tremely discourteous of her to receive
her friend in another room than that
where you were.
She may have been thoughtless and
she may still be SO young that she
reyeled in the opportunity to have

conduct cannot be excused.
Why didn't you borrow an umbrel-
la and go home when it started to
rain? That would have given you an

LARDING.

Larding is performed by introducing
fat strips of meat-ham and bacon
into the meats that are naturally dry
or lacking in favor. Turkeys, rabbits,
veal, venison, filet of beef and most
game are much improved by this pro,
cess.
The word Harding sounds formidable,
but is very simple.
Cut the meat to be used into thin
strips and insert these at intervals of
about an inch over the meat that needs
enriching.
A larding needle makes the work
easier, but it is not necessary. Good
work may. be done with a sharp, splen-
der knife.
A portion of the meat to be larded
is pinched up and the point of the
knife is forced through, making a hole
large enough only to put in the strip
of larding meat.
Keep the incisions in line and the
strips of even length and allow two
inches of Harding strip exposed on each
side
Under heat the fat dries out and
bastes the fowl or meat, rendering it
juicy and at the same time adding a
delicious flavor.
Pork, either fresh Or salt, is best
for beef; bacon or ham for veal or
chicken, and bit of ham fat improves
squads.
