When Baby Has the Group

When a mother is awakened from
sound sleep to find her child who has
gone to bed apparently in the best OF

naturally alarmed. Yet If she can
keep her presence of mind and give

ten minutes until vomiting Is produc-

Quarantine all members OF a school

pend upon their daily work for their
daily bread. | have labored among
such for twenty years, and have often
received the condolences Of honest
fathers of families, who, with only
their modest daily earnings to live
upon, asked themselves whether they
should risk having more children than
they could feed EeIgious considera-
tions were the only ones that could
encourage and give support to such
fathers: their reliance was confidence
in providence.
Providence makes use Of second
airy causes; it is the honor and duty
of those who possess power and for
tunes TO become its instruments. To
the moral force Of religion, material
aid must be added. Legislators, EN-
ployers - all those who are favored

will to tighten the burdens of fathers

the needed resources to do honor to

only too we'll known. The coming to-
gether of children in poorly venti-
lated and overheated rooms affords
excellent opportunity for the spread
OF this disease. The germ, to which
has been given the name bacillus scar
latinae, is said to survive for twenty
years, which vastly increases the
menace of this tiger which annually
destroys its victims by hundreds. The
infection is easily and quickly trans
mitted at any stage of the disease,
but is probably most active just be-
fore the visible symptoms appear.
Secretions from the nose and
mouth, and excretions from the bow

of the disease, and all objects eX-

be burned or thoroughly disintected.

soaked for an hour in a five pei

then boiled. All bedding and cloth

"'Just got an invitation to shoot

from his pocket and read. If you don't

gardener went off today to make fuses

Besides, your appetite is wanted Even
the village can't eat all the vegetables

"He began to read the next sentence,
but stopped with jerk. almost with
blush, and put the letter carefully in
his pocketbook.
Then came stories of the dogs
rival intelligences, and these were lost
in a sea of chatter, of tittle-tattle
mixed with the grimmest anecdotes OF
war in this way.

Parisians Take Interest in Strug-

PEN PICTURE OF FRENCH LIFE
People Make Pilgrimages to Points of

Gay Weekend Parties Are
Held - Chatter Shows
Trend Of Thought.
BY GEORGE DuFREsNE.
International News Service.l

Paris.-Parisians have become so
used to the war that they are now
taking great interest in it as magnifi-
cent spectacle. Daily crowds of
French people and tourists from Eng
land and America make pilgrimages
to points Of vantage behind the lines,
and gay weekend parties are held.
The following letter comes from
hotel near Boulogne-Sur-Mer:
IF you would focus the war, or that
large part of it which is collected at
the base, come to the hotel.
In all wars, of course-from Scu-
tari to Capetown-there is just one
hotel which is, so to say, universal
tryst, sort of Charing Cross. where
everyone meets eventually and in the
end. 1t is vanity fair. perhaps also
a slough of despond and delectable
mountain. where pilgrims of all types
and two sexes jostle and nudge. where
in flood of khaki and brassards and
woman's uniforms some few civilians
go astray, where the incoming and out
going hero relaxes for moment his
heroism, where comedy prods tragedy
in the ribs, where sentiment turns up
holy eyes at quiet courage. and where
all the medley of actors, interrupted in
their parts by the boots of steamers,
the burr of hydroplanes and the tramp
of route marches are apt to miss their
cues in the fog of general runner and
inccrrigible chatter
Gould anyone tell what sort of
piece, in what country, he was asked
to watch? Was he assisting at his
majesty's, tho comedie franchise, the
empire, or-merely Armageddon?
Listen for moment at random
to some chattering groups
WHO would have thought of meet
ing you here?'
All the meetings begin like that;
the one-armed colonel who hadn't met
his friend since Dongola in "a, or the
infant cavalry subaltern who ran into
his Elton friends second sister now
tracing missing men at a base office,
or the old, old, ex-major of something
ending in Chester who exchanged
questions with famous statesman on
the convalescence of their respective
sons.
And Thus They Chatter
