relating to the welfare of the city
and the citizens" Branches are to be
organized in all the wards of the city
and to keep in close touch with all the
Catholic voters in their vicinity.
Municipal measures are to be carefully
studied and an especial effort is to be
made to develop public speakers with

Punishment,

BY Florence Kimpton Payne in Nautilus
Here is little idea l have worked
put for correcting the little tricks tiny
babies have before they are big enough
70 be left alone to think it over, and
that is-to let the punishment fit the
crime.
Did your tiny child ever pull your
hair until you thought you wouldn't
eave any left? Well, of course, it is
good for the hair to be pulled, but, per
sonally. I'd rather do it myself, and
then I'd little rather those brand new
teeth shouldn't be tried on me or my
friends. even though 1t is a tempta-
ton to try new things.
But most mothers I know either say.
"Oh, never mind. he is so little! When
he is bigger he won't bite and scratch
and kick"--or else they proceed to slap
the little hands and say, NO, no." or
worse
Now It came to me through a wise
friend, that II our babies knew how
those things felt they wouldn't do
them, because, you know. oven little
babies are kind little creatures-so now
I've let my idea out-viz.-show the
wee mite how things feel in q mild form.

love Of your child, give his hair q

Now View Of Ventilation.
From the Washington Time.

The fact that good ventilation is es-
sential to good health is established be-
yond question. But until recently it was
generally believed that room that was
well supplied with oxygen was well
ventilated. AND conversely the air of a
room having low percentage Of oxy-
gen was peculiarly harmful for breath
ing. The "stifling' feeling produced by
hot, crowded rooms has been thought
to be due to the toxic matter in the
expired air and the low percentage of
oxygen.
Pure air contains about 81 per cent
IT oxygen but this may be reduced
very much before the diminution be-
comes harmful Indeed it is necessary
20 go only short distance up into the
mountains to come under an atmes-
pheric pressure such as to reduce the
oxygen supply much more than It is re-
duced in crowded assemblies, and yet
mountain air is especially healthful.
ne exact percentage of oxygen in the
ar, therefore. does not appear to be
the determinant factor In good ventila-,

cent experiments seem to show that the

iuced by the air in crowded rooms are

That Bow On Mems Hats

Why do men wear bows on the lief,
side Of their hats? A halter gives the
following explanation:
In the old days, when men were
much in the open air and hats were
an expensive article of attire, they used
to tie cord round the crown and let
the ends fall on the left side so that
|, could be grasped ii gust threa tened
TO carry off their head gear. The reason
the cords fell on the left side was that
the left hand was more often free than
the right hand. Later on the ends came
to be tied In bow. and later still they
became useless; but the bow has re-
NAMED. and 1t will probably remain til,
the event Of the next deluxe."
