Open sluices Of the system each

Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, lame back, can, instead
both look and feel as fresh as daisy
always by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot water each morning.

splendid appetite for breakfast and

BEFORE THE BABY COMES.

In this series of articles we have
been dealing with the early life of a
baby, after birth; we have not consid-
cred the equally important care of the
baby in the months of his life before
birth. The necessity for this care is
apparent from the fact that statistics
show that many thousands of babies
die every year in the early days of
life either because they were born
prematurely, or because they were
born too weak to survive. A very
large number of them lose their lives
because the mothers did not have
proper care before they were born, or
at the time of childbirth. Every wom-
an expecting baby should have such
care as will result in the birth of a
healthy and happy baby.
A prospective mother needs light,
nutritious diet of digestible foods,
such as she likes and her appetite de-
mands. Fried and greasy foods, heavy
buildings, and all heavy or underone
pastries, or an excess of any one arti-

IT'S A GOOD LETTER AFTER ALL.

Some one has advanced the opinion
that the letter sc" is the most unfor
tunate letter in the English alphabet
because it is always out of cash, for
ever in debt, never out of danger, and
in hell all the time. For some reason
he overlooked the lurrunates of the
letter, so we call his attention to the
fact that sc" is never in war and al
ways in peace 1t is the beginning OF
existence, the commencement Of ease,
and the end of trouble. Without i.
there would be no meat, no life, and
no heaven. 1t is the center of hon
esty, makes love perfect, and without

tention to keep her well.
In rural districts where medical at
tention is more difficult to secure,
owing to the long distance the doctor
often has to travel, the mother should
endeavorss to see him now and then,
and should send sample of the urine
to be examined, as often as may be
practicable, particularly during the
last three months.
The pamphlet of Prenatal Care, al

mothers will find useful.

wish had a cracker and pickle.
Mary had been waited upon so mucn
that she didn't know very well how to
get ANYTHING fer herself. She hunted
around. however and finally she
found the cracker jar and took out a
good handful of the little biscuits she
liked best and then she began her
search for a pickle.
Just as she closed the door to the
cupboard she heard faint voice that
sounded as if it was either away Off
or was shut up very tightly in some
thing. and the voice said:
you may hunt high and low,
You may hunt near and far,
But you'll find I'm the
Only pickle in the house
We'll, isn't that the queerest thing,
thought Mary. 81 didn't know pickles
could talk, and then she said aloud:
'If you think that was poetry you
are very much mistaken, for house
does not rhyme with far"
She had scarcely said this when she
heard the same faint voice again, and
this time it said:
II know the verses did not rhyme,
| did not mean them to,
I'm very near to where you are
In something you can see me through"
That's better than the other verse"
said Mary, as if she were talking to
the pickle, "but | don't see anything

Care of the Baby in the Winter

Gle should be eliminated from her
diet, as well as anything which she
does not readily digest
She should have a full movement of
the bowels every day, and for this
purpose should eat plenty of laxative
foods, rather than resort to medicines
She should have at least eight hours
of sleep at night and another hour
during the day with all the bedroom

door sleeping ROOM She should have
systematic exercise in the open air
every day, spending the time pleasant
ly in walking or in taking some form
Of light exercise, except at the normal
time of the mentural period, when it
is better to rest She should be care
full not to continue her exercise be-
yond the point when she becomes
tired.
She should have daily tub or
sponge bath, having the water Meth
er hot nor very cold, and should rub
the skin vigorously afterward.
During the last eight weeks of preg-
nancy she needs special care. The
nipples should have attention each
day, according to directions given in a
publication of the Children's Bureau,
called Prenatal Care" which is sent
free upon request to the Chief of the
Children's Bureau, United States De-
partment of Labor, Washington, D. c.
Throughout this stage of pregnancy
the mother should as far as possible
be spared all forms of heavy taxing
labor, in order that her strength may
be built up in anticipation of the COM
ing demand upon it. The baby's prop
er development also depends largely
upon the mothers condition at this
time. since the baby gains half his
weight in the last eight weeks of preg-
nancy. Therefore, if he is to be born
strong and healthy, it is most impor-
tant that the mother have plenty of
good food, and be spared undue work
and worry through this crucial period.
To help the mother, to afford her op-
portunity for rest and to relieve her
mind of any burden, may entail both
expense and trouble upon the family,
but it will be repaid thousandfold in
the health of the mother and baby
which will result from the effort, not
only for the time being. but forever
afterward.

should be under the care of good

If married couple is invited out to
dinner or luncheon or any other social
| function where it is desired to have
the guests equally divided as to sex,
and either the husband or wife is un-
able to accept the invitation, then both
should decline. 1t is, however, quite
proper to explain the reason for the
refusal. This gives an opportunity for
the would-be hostess, if convenient to
her, to renew the invitation to the
husband or wife who is at liberty to
accept it.
If, at the eleventh hour, husband
or wife is obliged to drop out of a
dinner or luncheon, both should do so.
This leaves the hostess the option of
filling their places with another mar
ried couple or of urging the remaining
one who can come to do so and of get
ting a balancing guest of the opposite
sex to preserve the symmetry of the
table and the harmony of the enter
tainment For there is no denying
that at a mixed function, where the
guests sit in what the Germans call
"bunte Reie,' it is break to have
two women or two men sitting to-
gether Men do not like to talk to
men nor women to women on such oc-
casions.
Frequently wives say: "My husband
will be out of town the night of your
dinner, but | can come if you want
me-" This is an awkward inconsid-
crate answer. 1t leaves the one who
gives the invitation in the predicament
of saying, Il don't want you"-saying
it, of course, less bluntly and more
gracefully-or of taking the extra trou-
BILE of finding an extra man to fit into
what may have been a carefully de-
signed diner intime" So, no matter
how much you may long to go, how
much you may dislike staying at home
alone, be dignified and considerate, de-
cline definitely, and leave it to your
hostess to urge you to come.
