But il the parents cannot dominate the ehnts

bladder ns we'll as the bowels for these times

A, eight or ten months the baby may be sup
ported on the toilet seat by using the baby'
detachable toilet chair now manufactured.
nursery chair for this purpose is not advised.
They arc usually wrongly proportional and con-
structed; and the child is left to sit for half an
hour or more. thereby inducing local irritation,
deferred action, prolapsis Of the rectum through
straining or bad habits. The mother should stay
with tho child and he should not sit longer than
necessary.
Change wet diaper as soon as the baby wakes,
or Immediately il it becomes wet while he is
awake. The urine Is salty, sometimes acid, and
always irritating.
Before removing diaper have at hand everything
needed: Clean dry, warm folded diaper; diaper
handbasin with warm water special wash cloth
and towel kept only for diapering; zinc ointment;
diaper bucket.
Lay the baby on the nursery table, on a Turkish
towel. II pins are used, put into blanket at right
hand removed from baby's reach.
Remove the diaper and drop into bucket Wash
baby clean and pat dry especially in creases.
Powder is usually not necessary. Use slbolene
or zinc ointment for chafed places. Put on dry
diaper
Leave baby in safe position while putting away
utensils.
Never use a diaper a second time without wash
ing; the acid and salty urine deposit will cause
chatting
Avoid pulling diaper tight about the waist; the
pelvic bones at this time are now only cartilage
easily misshaped; if pelvis is narrowed in girls,
childbirth will be made more difficult for them
Avoid tghtness in front, especially for boys as
this will produce irritation
Avoid much thickness between the legs; It will
cause bow legs.
Never use rubber or other waterproof diapers;
they are overheating and may cause bad habits
small pad of cotton batting folded into steril-
lied cheesecloth, or a double fold of Turkish
towelling or stocknet placed in the diaper, Will
absorb moisture and avoid the extra thickness OF
a heavy diaper; this pad may be burned If soied.
quilted or stocknet pad placed between the
diaper and pettcoat will prevent drenchng Of
clothes
II diaper is fastened to shirt, make sure OF
ample length; avoid any pull on shirt or diaper.
Throw water into toilet or slop bucket, not
into lavatory. Wash out cloth dsposing Of water
in same way; or put cloth into diaper bucket
If diaper is soiled flush off in toilet before put
ting to soak.

dear Lttlest Peppermint Lozenge. So give US
our TASKS, Mrs. Raisn and we'll set off at
once across the Brown Sugar Desert"
Mrs Raisin brought from her treasure-chest
two large TASKS, which had the magic prop
erty of keeping what was put in them either
cold or hot, as might be desired. She gave
one to Andrew and one to Benny, and wished
them a successful trip. Mrs. Peppermint

baby was SO SICK, kissed the boys goodby,

There was music in the park to amuse the in
habtants by day and night For there were
inhabitants, as the Almonds soon found OUT,
and they were called the Soda Fairies They
were beautiful little creatures, dressed in
pretty colors, to match the colors of the foun-
tains, with movements as light as the spray,
and voices that sounded as silvery and clear
and cool as the tinkle of silver spoons against
crystal-glasses.

strange, brown creatures7" they cried to the
Almond boys, running and flying to meet

TIME Littlest Peppermint Lozenge had
i1ol fever, and was very sick Mrs Raisn
who was his nurse, and knew great
deal about babies, declared that nothing
would do him any good but some soda-water
and ice cream from Soda Fountain Land, far
away across the Brown Sugar Desert. Who
in all Candytown, she wondered, would have
strength enough and be brave enough to I'M
dertake the long trip across the desert and
into the strange Soda Fountain Land-and
who would be wise enough to return safely
with the soda and ice cream? For Mrs Raisn
knew that there were many perils and tempta-
tons to be encountered on this trip
"Oh, let us 60" cried Andrew and Benny
Almond, together. when they heard what was
wanted They were used TO making long trips
you remember about their voyage to the
Sandwich Islands-and so they thought they
could perform this errand better than any of
the other Candy folk
But this is different from your sea voyages"
said Mrs. Raisin, this is on land And, be-
sides. there is something very difficult abort

DANGERS OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring, just when they are most
dangerous and the result is neuralgia,
Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles or sometimes
an attack of rheumatism. In such cases
apply Sloan's Liniment. 1t stimulates
circulation to the sore and painful
part. The blood flows freely and in a
short time the stiffness and pain leave.
Those suffering from neuralgia or
neuralgia headache will find one or
two applications of Sloan's Liniment
will give grateful relief. The agonizing
pain gives way to a tingling sensation
of comfort and warmth and quiet rest
and sleep is possible. Good for neuri-
tis, too. Price CSC, at your druggist.

For Oilinn Shaftinns.

There is danger in the oiling Of
shaftings. Even though the machinery
is stopped, someone is likely to start
It before the worker is through with
his task. This element of danger is
removed through the invention of an
oiler, which may be used while the
worker stands on the floor, thus obvi-
ating the necessity of going among
running belts, pulleys and shafts, pos
sibly on a rickety ladder.
