For Contaqions.

It is important that the mother or
nurse who is attending a child i'll with
q contagious disease should take q
walk in the fresh air every day. The
best way to arrange this is for her to
keep a change of clothing in the next
room She should also battle before
leaving the quarantined room. If a
bathroom has been set aside for quar-
antine she can use this; If not, a screen
and a basin in the sickroom will have
to answer. Then she can slip into the
next room and put on fresh clothing.
She should leave the house by the
back way preferably or, at any rate,
avoid coming in contact with any of
the occupants of the house. Once in
the street she should not use the street
cars nor enter any other house and
avoid as much as possible touching any
one.
The fumigation of a sickroom after
a contagious disease is done by the
board of health upon request In most
cities, or it can be done by the family
under directions Of the physician

1915 Is
Baby Year

The facts about American babies, the
needs Of American babies and Ameri-
cas- responsibility to her babies viii
this year be known as never before,
because the first week in March will be
baby week throughout the country.
More than 400 communities, repre-
senting every state in the Union, are
already laying their plans for baby
week, according to the children's bus
reau of the United States department
Of labor, in order that during those
seven days the needs of the babies
may be so presented that all the par
ents in those communities will learn
q little better how to care for their
babies and all the citizens will realize
that they have a special obligation to
safeguard the conditions surrounding
babies. 1t is confidently believed by
those who are interested in this nation
wide baby week that the remainder
Of the year will be marked by a
strengthening of all community activi-
ties for saving babies lives and giving
them a better chance to grow to a
healthy maturity.
The baby week idea originated In
Chicago not quite two years ago. Then
New York had baby week and Pitts
burgh and other cities. Such practical
benefit has in each case resulted that
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs has undertaken to promote this
nation wide observance. State health
officials and national organizations in
terested in public health and child well
fare have taken up the plan and In
various ways are giving it not only
their sanction, but their active CO.
operation. The extension divisions of
the state universities have promised
special assistance in interesting and
helping baby week in rural communi-
ties.
Baby week will give more parents q
chance to learn the accepted principles
Of infant care and will awaken every
American to his responsibility for the
deaths of the 100000 babies who, &C.
cording to the census estimates, die
every year before they are twelve
months old.

1.-The Trades of the Qumh.n

Any number of children can play this
game, and it is amusing and interest
ing. Let one player repair to the hall
or to another room and decide what
trade he will represent. When ready
he knocks on the door and enters.
Without a word or a smile he begins
by motions to show what his chosen
trade is. Perhaps he is a carpenter.
Then he pretendS TO hammer nails, TO
saw or plane board Perhaps he is a
coachman. In that case he makes be-

pail and spreading the paint on wall or
floor. There are other trades. One
may be musician. policeman. sweep
er, dreSsmaker. milliner. farmer, butch
er, baker, grocer or sailor.
If the player laughs or answers or
speaks he must pay a forfeit when
the game is over. The other players
try their best by making funny re-
marks to cause him to laugh and lose
his dumbness, and he has to be very
alert not to get caught answering some
question or suggestion.

Simple Ways of Doing Simple Things

Simple ways OF Doing Simple Things
lntellisently and Well.
To prevent potatoes becoming black
when cooked put them into cold wa
ter and when brought to the boil
squeeze a little lemon juice in. They
will then keep a good color and be of
good favor.
Before using tinware of any kind
rub it well over with fresh lard. If
treated in this way it will never rust.
Slip a thimble on the curtain rod
when running it through the hem of
the curtain.
The tops Of pale covered evening
gloves make very dainty shoes for
babies.
For a homemade coal box procure a
wooden lard bucket from the grocer.
Remove the wire handle and clean
thoroughly inside and outside with
strong soda water, one pound to a gal
Ion Of boiling water. Purchase three
penny bottle of oak varnish and when
the bucket is dry apply over evenly
and quickly. Leave for several hours.
Get two penny bronze handles and
screw one on each side, and the arti-
Gle is complete. The outside cost of
this is quarter, and it looks as well
as one costing several times that
amount.
White satin shoes should always be
kept in blue paper to prevent them
from becoming discolored.
After fowl of any kind is cleaned
the inside should be rubbed thorough
ly with a piece of lemon before the
dressing is put in.
When ivory handled knives look vel
low rub them with fine sandpaper or
emery. 1t will take of the spots and
restore the whiteness.
If clothespins are dipped in white
enamel paint and dried in the sun they
can be kept perfectly clean and win
not split or mark the clothes.
Tin that has become rusty of stained
may be cleaned by dipping the cut sur
face Of a raw potato In fine brick and
rubbing well with this.

For Dry CLEANING.

In cleaning any fabric with gasoline
or similar fluid 1t sometimes happens
that a ring is left around the garment
in process Of cleansing. To prevent
such a ring it is recommended that by
adding common table salt to the gaso-
line used spots can often be removed
from delicate fabrics In a most salts
factory manner.
II, however, a ring has been left the
place cleansed should be wet again
and Immediately covered while still
damp with fuller's earth, extending
just beyond the ring. Let this remain
on for some time. and when brushed
OF the spot should have disappeared.
Gypsum may be used In like manner
instead Of the fuller's earth If pre-
ferred.

Snow in Central park. New York city,
is a great source of pleasure to the
little people who live in the vicinity of
the city's greatest playground. The
young miss in the picture. who is so
gayly taking advantage of the fun
provided by a fall of snow, is Miss
Frances Robbins, daughter of Mr. Hen
~ Pelham Robbins. She is making the
most of the snow. Lying fat on her
speedy sled. she is dashing down the
hill, shouting to those in her path to
clear the way. Such scenes are very
common in New York city this winter
as old King Boreas has been kind
enough to send his snow sprites to dis
tribute his favors in the big town.
Grown people don't care so very much
for snow in the city. but the little peo-
pie think it's splendid fun.
