TRAINING THE BABY.

Dear Social Cornerites: Greetings to.
you, one and all. suppose talks about
babies will always be popular to some
members Of The Corner sisterhood, for.
like the poor. they are always with
us. or with those we are interested in.
Habits are the result of repeated
actions. A properly trained baby is
not allowed to learn bad habits which
must be unlearned later at great cost
of time and patience to both mother
and babe. The wise mother starts
the baby right. -
In order to establish good habits in
the baby, the mother must first be
aware what they are and then how to
induce them.
Perhaps the first and most essential
good habit is that of regularity. This
begins at birth and applies to all the
Physical functions of the baby-eat-
Ing. sleeping and bowel movement.
The care of baby is readily reduced
TOT a system unless he is sick. Such
q system is not only one of the great
est factors in keeping the baby well
and in training him in way which
will be of value to him all through
life, but reduces the work of the moth
her certain assured periods of rest
and recreation.
AS a sample of what is meant by
a system in baby care the following
plan is suggested, which may be va
riously modified to suit particular
cases:
a. m.-Baby's first nursing; fam
lily breakfast; children off to school.
8 a. m.-Baby's bath. followed by
second nursing.
Baby sleeps till noon.
IL to 12.30-Baoy's noon meal; out
of-door airing and nap.
to 3.30-Afternoon nursing.
Period of waking:
6. to TIP. m.-Baby's supper and bed
1t is quite feasible to have the
baby's last meal at IL o'clock in order
to give mother a chance to spend ar
occasional evening in pleasant recre.
alton.
All babies need "mothering" and
should have plenty of it. When tht
young babe is awake, he should fire.,
quently be taken up and held quietl!
in mothers arms in a variety of po,
sitions so that no set of muscles may
became over-tired.
An older child should be taught t.
sit on the floor, or in his pen or crib
he will be very likely to make to-
great demands on his mother
strength. !!
No one who has not tried it realize
how much nervous energy can be con
surned In "minding" baby who cal

the mother who is taking the bah

sEAsoNAeLE RECIPES.

Dear Social Corner Friends: I sup
pose you are very busy canning and
preserving these days. VIII send a
few recipes that we like very well:
Canned Peaches; Allow one cup
sugar to one pint Of water. let boil
and skim; put in peaches whole or
halved (after pealing); let boil until
they are easily pierced with a fork;
put in Jars and I'LL jars full with the
syrup. Seal hot.
Peaches are good canned without
sugar; boil the same as usual, and
sweeten as you want them to use.
Burberry Jam: Cook the berries 10
or 10 minutes. and add half as much
sugar as you have berries (after
cooked): cook until It thickens; w4aen
small amount Is put on plate. Put
In jelly jars and pour over melted
paraffin. t
Peach MarmaIadei When canning
peaches, save the parings and soft
pieces, and cover with cold water;
simmer until soft. Rub through a
sieve and boil 20 minutes. Add half
the weight in sugar, and boil until 1t

But, If finally, after careful scru-

It is very difncult to break up this

wAYo OF PRESERVING CRAB APP
PLE1.

Editor and Social Corner Sisters:
AS 1t is time to begin canning good
things for the cold days in winter, viii
send in some good ways for. preserving
crab apples, as 1 see they are quite
plentiful this year.
ripe, sound apples, wash them well,
then cover with boiling water and cook
slowly in preserve kettle. until the
skin can be easily removed: DRAIN
peel and carefully remove the cores
without breaking the apple or remov-

the sugar and water to a boil over the
fire, skim thoroughly and put the ap-
pies in, then cook very gently until
apples are tender and Transparent;
skim as required while cooking; put
into small wide-mouthed cans and
when cool seal. This recipe will make
a preserve both handsome and deli
cious.
Grab Apple Preserves, No. Cook
the apples whole or tin halves, as
preferred, but in either way remove
the cores. Boil in clear water until
tender, but do not break the fruit;
skim out and weigh. Allow, one pound
of granulated sugar for each pound
of fruit: add sugar to the water in
which the apples were cooked; and

Then skim, put In the fruit and cook

If preferred, sticking two cloves into
each apple improves the flavor. Serve
