Summer Rashes and Ivy Poisoning.

When away in the summer, childs S
delicate skin is sometimes severely
burned and blistered when exposed to
the sun. It is well to be prepared for
limewater and some bandages or old
linen or soft cotton cloths. This mixture
is also used in burns Of any description,
from fire. acid, steam, etc, and a wise
mother usually keeps 1t on hand.
. When children are bathed freely Cat
least once each day., kept cool and care
fully fed, they are not SO apt to suffer
with skin eruptions. and especially so
when an occasional laxative is given to
keep the stomach and tntestines sweet
and clean. An occasional dose of castor
oil or calomel and soda is necessary
and a nice way to take castor oil away
with one in the summer is to make 1t
up in the form of molasses candy. To
a pan of the candy add teacupful of the
oil; stir briskly and set away to cool.
Once a week some Of the candy can be
given the children, who never detect the
presence of oil, especially if it is favored
with peppermint. teaberry or some
similar substance.
Calomel and soda can be procured in
vials containing 100 pellets. The usual
dose is Ito or Is of a grain given every
hour or two until eight or ten doses are
taken.
Many children suffer greatly from sum-
mer rashes-hives, nettle rash etc. A
most effective wash contains: Powdered
borax, half an ounce; glycerin. one
ounce; camphor water, one quart. Dauo
this on the affected parts several times
daily with a little medicated cotton.
Some children can never go into the
country without being poisoned with ivy;
others are not as susceptible. For those
who are unacquainted with the different
varieties. a word of explanation will pre-
vent much suffering. Remember that the
poisonous ivy has only three leaves,
whereas the five-leaved ivy. is harmless;
also that the berries of poisonous sumach
are white, whereas the red variety is
harmless.
A very valuable thing to know in con-
nection with ivy poisoning is that qul-
nine acts like a charm. This discovery
was stumbled upon in a remarkable way
by a physician who has since cured hum
dreds of cases. and am glad to give my
readers the benefit OF it. A solution is
made containing: Sulphate Of quinine,
drains; water, g ounces, and is applied 10
the parts like any other wash or lotion
cases, bandages saturated with the solu-
tiop should be constantly applied.
As every one knows. great many rem
edies have been tried in ivy poisoning,
and 1t Is to be hoped that Qulnlne Will
cure every one that tries 1t. For those
who want to hear OF something else l
will add that favorite prescription con-
sists of: Fluid extract Of grindelia ro-
busta, ! dram; water, ounces. This
can be diluted II it is too strong. Lead
water and laudanum diluted with witch
hazel is also an exceedingly useful ap-
plication in ivy poisoning.
Every mother should have in the little
medicine case she takes away with her
a bottle containing equal parts Of sweet
spirits OF nitre and syrup Of lemon. From
a half to a full teaspoonful OF this is
mixed in a wineglass of water and given
to a feverish child. The age regulates
the dose.
In addition to the simple lotions and

Human Interest Placards
Solve "Move Forward" Task
Conductors of Capital Traction Company Shouted
Selves Hoarse but Without Effect; Then Clever
Signs Came Working Like Magic.

They faced a big quandary up In the
offices Of the Capital Traction Company
a couple Of weeks back. The worst part
OF 1t all was that it dealt with human
nature.
Resolved to its final analysis, the ques-
ton was this: How are we going 10
make people stop Jamming the back OF
the car when there is plenty Of room up
'front.'
4eanwhile complaints from irate pas
sensers literally flooded the mails.
One bright young enploye suggested ty-
ing a June bug on thread, said thread
to be hung from the roof, well to the
front of the car. Everybody, he argued.
naturally would have a craving to grab
that bug. To grab said bug, the pas
senger would have TO move forward
and-Kismet!
Then H. II. Won Culin, traffic mana
ger, began TO ponder over the question.
The result was the printing Of some go
signs, in 25 series, with each series
worded differently.
These signs were designed to cause
passengers to move forward, not because
the company wanted them to, but be-
cause they ought to-
We hope we've succeeded" Mr.. Won
Culin said to a representative OF The
Washington Herald last night. Also we
think We have. At any rate, an official
from Cleveland was here a few days
ago, looked our signs over noted the re-
suits they're achieving. and asked for
a batch OF them to take back home as
samples. He says he thinks they'll in
stall them on the street cars there.
You see"-Von Culin's voice grew
plaintive-' nobody paid bit Of attention
to the conductors voice. He could shout
himself hoarse-and passengers thought
The Washington herald., 1916-07-25

It was funny. The result was the conduc-
tors got disheartened and kept quiet.
But now we've got these signs-based
on commonsense, hope. And they're
doing the workl 1t all goes to show that
the public Is reasonable provided you ap-
peal to 1t in the right way"
The signs, all of which are written by
Mr.. Won Culin, do just what he says; ap-
peal to ones commonsense. One Of them,
for instance, reads: when you see room
in the front Of the car, and you aren't
able to get on. it's because some one or
two have failed to heed the request move
militant spirit OF the day and announces
that Every able-bodied man is expected
to go TO the 'front.'
Still another declares, 1T doesn't in
crease the receipts Of the company one
penny for you to move forward. but It
does increase the comfort and safety OF
your fellow-passengers." Still another
appeals to the passengers selfishness by
stating, ut saves time-your cooperation
will enable US to carry you to your desti-
nation more quickly-rnove forward.
please"
Yet another appeals to ones chivalry.
It makes this simple appeal: Moving
forward makes It safer for the old and
infrm, and more comfortable for the
ladies and children. Do you care any
thing about either? Then please move
forwardw
And all this, according to Mr.. Won Gu.
lin. has cost the company thus far less
than s75-meanwhile saving 1t dtssatisfac-
ton that couldn't be squared for sew
eral times that amount. The present plan
is to change the wording Of the signs
every month. having a differently worded
sign on every car

your appeal will be so late in reach

this column. But for the beneft of
other mothers whose misguided be-
havior with their babies induces SINH
lar conditions, I will answer you at
length. You say despite all efforts of
your doctor the baby continues col
licky' and that although he acts
hdgety with the pacifer. it seems to
be the only thing that keeps him quiet
for awhile. l cannot find language
sufficiently strong with which to con-
denim this practice OF mothers. The
rubber nipple or "pacifier" is one Of the
most fruitful agents in creating the
very condition from which your baby
is suffering, as with every breath he
swallows a quantity OF atmospheric
air. No wonder he is "collicky." Dis
continue its use absolutely and let
your child depend on other and more
normal objects for solace. The "paci-
fer" ruins the development of the

pernicious habits that space forbids

This is concensus. of Opinion of
Charleston Visitors from All
Parts of the State.

CHARLESTON, April 21.-So far as
the choice Of the Republican nominee
for governor Is concerned. the. die has
been cast, according to reports reach
ing Charleston from every section of
the state and through every conceive
able channel. 1t Is the consensus of
opinion that Judge Ira r. Robinson, of
Taylor county. will head the Republi-
can ticket, and 1t is conceded eyery-
where that his nomination will be the
equivalent to election.
The people have had more than two
months to compare the relative merits
and demerits Of the two gubernatorial
candidates and there is no doubt as to
the choice they will make. Public
sentiment has become settled and most
Of the people will go to the polls on
June 6 to vote the same convictions
they have today. That means that
Judge Robinson will poll approximate
ly three-fourths Of the Republican
vote Of West Virginia, which does not
include the large number Of Socialists
and Democrats, who laying party
afhliation aside for the moment, will
go into the voting booth to cast their
ballot for the distinguished jurist from
Taylor county because they recognize
him as the man of the hour in West
Virginia politics. Few men ever have
had the hold on the hearts, or the
position. in esteem and, confidence Of
the people that Judge Robinson has.
His manifold qualifications are uni
versally known and appreciated. His
record Is his greatest asset. It speaks
for him in terms that carry convic-
tion. No man knowing Judge Robin
son and who is familiar with his ca
reer could consistently oppose him.
The grip he has on the affection and
confidence Of the people Of all walks Of
life is illustrated by the remarks over
heard in the various hotel lobbies Of
the city.
A well known Republican who Wis.
its Charleston frequently, sitting in
the lobby Of the Kanawha hotel last
night told of an episode that was sig
nifcant. On account Of his personal
friendship for Mr.. Lilly, Judge Rob
inson's opponent, he would not con-
sent to have his name used. He said:
"It beats all how universal the de-

RUssIA's REASON
For Sending Troops into France
Is Because That Is The
Easier Thing to Do.

MARsE1LLES. France, April 21--
The coming OF Russian troops to the
western front has been talked Of by
military people for two, or three
months. The reason as now explain
de is that It is easier for Russia to
arm and supply fighting material to
Russian troops on the western front
than on the eastern. & y
Russia still has many hundred
thousands more men under training
thar. 1t can use on its lighting line
because the Russian problem coti-|
tinues to be not how to get men but
munitions. The Allies can provide
complete equipment for Russians
more easily in France than by ship
ping to Russia. Possibly q quarter
of q million men will be sent Into
France this spring.
