A baby may be made uncomfort-
able and restless by various causes
which are readily removed. Atten-
tion has already been called to the
fact that babies and young children
frequently suffer from thirst. They
several times day. and particularly
in the night, drtng will often quiet
in the night, adrinK will often quiet
him, and send him to Sleep
Irritating clothing is at times re-
sponsfb1e for the baby's fretfulness.
Wooden stockings, or shirts, or stir
cap strings are quite enough to spoil
his comfort, even IL he is we'll, and,
in hot weather especially, a super
abundance of clothing is frequently
responsible for much real suffering.
Dress the baby in the lightest cot
ton 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.
One of the troubles from which a
baby often suffers in summer is
prickly heat This ailment appears a
fne red rash usually on the neck
and shoulders and gradually spreads
to the head, face and arms. 1t is
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 rem
edy for it is to take off all the cloth
ing and give the baby sponge bath
in tepid water in which common bak-
ing soda has been dissolved. Use one
tablespoonful Of soda to two quarts
of water. Use no soap. and do not
rub the skin, but pat it dry with a
soft towel. After the skin is thor:
oughly dry, dust the inflamed sur
faces 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 prob
ably save the summer baby from
much of the annoyance OF prickly
heat and other more serious ills.
Chatting.
Fat babies are very apt to suffer
from chatting, especially In hot wealth
er. 1t appears as redness OF the
skin in the buttocks or in the arm
pits. or wherever two skin surfaces
persistently rub together.
Much the same treatment is re-
uuired as In prickly heat. Never use
soap on an infamed skin. Instead.
use a soda, bran or starch bath. Di-
rections for these baths are given in
a publication called Infant Care,
which may be had free Of charge.

DECIMAL SYSTEM
OF Coinage in Great Britain
May Soon Be Established
by the Government.


LONDON, Aug. 21.-Proposals to
establish a decimal system of coin
age in Great Britain are again re-
cefving attention In the newspapers.
The latest advocates are soldiers re-
turning from France who have be-
come accustomed to the decimal sys-
tenn in use there. and have quickly
recognized its advantages.
The proposal most generally en-
dorsed in England is that the farth-
ing be made the basis OF the new
system. There Is already a coin of
this denomination in use In England.
its value being one-fourth OF a penny
or about half an American cent. 1t
is proposed to make one hundred
farthings equal to one form (the
common two-shilling piece of Engli'g
coinage, equivalent to SO cents Amer:
iacn). This involves only a trif1ing
change from the present system,
whereby SO farthings make one flor
in.
Under the proposed system the
units of money would be:
100 farthings make one form.
10 forms make one pound :.
The shilling would thus become
an intermediate coin. representing SO
farthings, and the six pence sim
liar intermediate coin, representing
25 farthings

establish her in England before he
was ordered to the firing line.
Before leaving Winnipeg the Cam

charge of a young English girl who
was returning home and see that
she was delivered safely to her des
tination They agreed and set about
getting her accomm odations. They
found the ship crowded. and the girl
was obliged to share state room
with a nun. This was satisfactory
enough, as the nun Kent much to
herself, and the first Says of sase
crossing passed without incident.
On the night of the third day out
the young girl awoke some hours af-
ter she had retired, and glancing
over the high rail of her berth, was
astoni shed to notice light behind
the curtains of the nuns berth across
the stateroom. Altering her position
quietly the girl was able to peep be-
tween them. To her horrer she saw
the nun crouched in front of smIl
mirror-shaving.
Pluckfly restraining her desire to
scream the girl closed her eyes and
remained perfectly still until well az
ter daybreak, when she slipped on
her bathrobe and hurried to the cab

COOLING DRINKS

The average housekeeper is famil-
lar with only two kinds of cold
drinks, lemonade and ice tea. There
are many more and they can be pre-
pared with the same ease. 1t is
variety in drinks as we'll as foods
that is helpful to the appetite.
Like many other things. lemons
I cannot recall when they have been
SO cheap in August. For few cents
a large pitcher of lemonade can be
made, and the enjoyment it supplies
to the tired business man or work
man returning from his duties at the
close OF hot day surely repays for
the trouble.
A good way to serve a glass Of
lemonade quickly is to have the lem
ar syrup. Squeeze the half OF a lem

with cold water and ice. A few
crushed mint leaves adds to the hav.

BE MAKING
MONEY
Understood That July Showing
Will Be An Excellent
One.

GRAFTON. Aug. 21.-While the
officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad are giving out no informa-
ton relative to revenue figures. for
the month of July at this time, the
financial district hears that traffic
moved quite as freely over the road
last month as it did the month pre-
vious. This probably means. accord
ing to those who keep in close touch
with the situation as effecting the
Baltimore and Ohio. that the gross
revenues of the company for July
will be in the neighborhood of So
500, 900, and that operations were OF
such a character as to permit the
company to make a net revenue rec
ord of approximately $3.O0O,0OO.
The continued increase in the rev.
enues OF the Baltimore and Ohio is
gratifying to officials of the company,
and IL the same record of earnings Is
maintained throughout each month
Of the new fiscal year as was estab-
lished for the initial month the COM
rany will report one of the best years
in its history.
1t is understood that all classes OF
traffic are showing increases, which
would Indicate that business condi-
lions in the territories served by the
Baltimore and Ohio system are i'm
proving.
The coal traffic on the Baltimore
and Ohio holds up we'll. due to the
gain in export shipments resulting
from the demand for American fuel
coming from abroad. Baltimore
companies operating mines along the
Baltimore and Ohio are supplying
large part of the coal for foreign
shipment.
With the increase in the movement
Of traffic, the Baltimore and Ohio
manages to keep It's operating cost
we'll in hand. For instance. in June.
TIE company showed an increase of
over 100000 in gross earnings for
the month. and yet, in spite of the
greater volume of busin ess handled.
there was a decrease Of over $1,000
900 in operating expenses.
This gradual reduction in the OPP
rating cost IS further proof that the
500. 100000 expended for improve
ments under the direction of Presf-
dent Daniel Willard is producing the
expected results. New mines have
been built. grades and curves elm
mated. additional terminals con-
structed and other improvements
made which have enabled the Bal
timore and Ohio to move greater
volume of business at less expense.

Banks Get

In France
AS a Result Of the Minister Of
Finances Appeal to Use
of Bank Bills.
tsr Assoe,Arae Press,

PARIS. Aug 21.-one hundred
and eighteen millions of francs in
gold was exchanged for bank bills
at the Bank of France. its branches
and other establishments authorized
to receive it in the last few weeks.
To provoke this influx of gold no
more was required than the state
ment of the minister of finance that
French citizens could show their
patriotism by helping increase the
gold reserve of the Bank Of Franco
as we'll as by fighting In the trenches.
The first week produced thirteen
millions. the second forty millions
and the third sixty-f1ve millions To
what sum these exchanges are like
ly to mount no one risks a guess. the
movement is reaching such formid-
able proportions without official in
sis.ence or pressure of any sort.

This makes the situation something
of game between the prisoners and
their Dutch guards.
The island Of Urk is itself sort

which the average pedestrian may
cross in ten minutes. The islanders
are extremely c1annfsh and stick to
the dress of 200 years ago. They
amuse themselves by fishing for herr
ing and achovies and in building dyke
against the terrors of the North Sea
IN winter. Inc presence OF the IN
termed French, Belgian and English
officers is regarded as sort of sport
ing affair even among the Dutch
guards. The commander describes
the situation by saying I'VE are ex-
cellent friends with our prisoners.
We greatly respect the men who try
to escape and return to their country
to go on with the fight. Only it is
our duty to keep them here.
Next to Commander Nyssens of the
Belgian army who was pulled across
the Dutch frontier by his own men
after he was rendered unconscious
by seven bullet wounds, the most
popular prisoner is an Irish major of
the British flying corps. who actual
ly made his escape from the island
by swimming for some three hours
and who would have succeeded in
his flight. but for the small mishap
which landed his boat in a village
which was under mtrtia1 law.
Since this attempt, however, the
island is more.strongly guarded than
before. The foreign officers are not
allowed to speak with the people from
the village. All foreign and Dutch
yachts are carefully watched. A tor
pedo boat stationed in the little mar
Dor is kept ready to pursue all fu-
ture swimmers, and guards have been
placed on the tower of the church
to survey the whole island
