IS Your Baby Happy?
(By Biddy Bye.)

Is your baby happy all day long?
Then it is a well papy, and incl
dentally, a great credit to its mother.
A laughing growing child is evidence
of some woman's patience and inteli-
gence.
Summer puts a woman's maternal
instinct to the test. Then a mother
proves herself efficient or lazy, Of a
sweet or hasty temper. Her baby al
ways reflects her own disposition.
Keeping the baby cool, clean, COM
Portable and fed at regular intervals
with proper food in sterilized bottles
should constitute the whole duty Of
mothers. Most Of them have heaps of
other things to do.
Still they should take time, when
the thermometer rises above 80 de-
grees in the shade, to reduce baby's
temperature by taking off his clothes.
A flannel shirt and a diaper make a
scientific costume for an infant on a
hot breezeless day, while for the child
that toddles a waist and drawers and
sleeveless slip are sufficient covering.
OF course the intelligent mother
keeps h baby out of a draft at all
times Of the year. In midsummer, she
adds shoes and stockings. gowns and
jackets as the wind rises or the clouds
thicken.
Night care of a baby is even more
important than daytime care when the
temperature is torrid.
The most airy room in the house
should be requisitioned for baby's
sleeping place. The government bulle-
tin on infant care advises the child be
kept out of the sun altogether, and
out Of doors, If possible, during the
late afternoon and evening until the
house grows cool. If there is a screen>
ed porch, he may sleep out all night,
provided he is protected from changes
in the weather.
Wherever he sleeps, he should be
shielded from flies. mosquitoes and the
wind. A diaper, band and loose cotton
gowns is sufficient covering.
A baby should never be put down to

Patriotic Anthem
To Be Presented
at Sing Tonight

OF much interest, and perhaps chief
importance among the songs to, be of
fered tonight at the song festival
which is to be held in the Presby-
under the direction of Peter W.
Dykema, the famous leader Of COM
munity singing, is the stirring patrio-
tic ong America the Beautiful"
The words of the poem. which have
been set to the well known hymn
tune, "Materna," are given below.
They are from the pen of Katherine
Lee Bates, professor of English in
WELLESLEY college, and a woman of
wide vision, and the air was composed
by Samuel A. Ward. The splendid
sentiment of the poem, coupled with
the spirited but not too difficult mu-
sic, make of this a song which Prof.
Dykema predicts will be the most
popularity known, and best liked of
our American national hymns.
Prof. Dykema always includes this
patriotic song in his community
sings" and he asserts that it has met
with instant favor throughout the
east, and wherever he has presented
1t. The poem, which for its beauty
alone is worthy of consideration, fol-
lows:
AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL.
o beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain.
America! America! God shed His
grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
o beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.
America! America! God mend thine
ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy oul in ~self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
o beautiful for glorious tale
Of liberating strife,
When valiantly for mans avail
Men lavish precious life.
America! America! May God thy
gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And ev'ry man divine.
o beautiful for patriots dream
That sees beyond the a
Thine alabaster cities CLEAN
'Undimmed by human tears.

And o thy good with brotherhood

Wars Only Definition
For Kitchen Economy
Food Conservation
By Biddie Bye.

Housewives have their own de1ni-
tons of kitchen economy. Now comes
Wal and rolls them all into one. And
war allows no exemptions from serv-
ice In the cause OF food conservation.
Eu many housewives who have al
ways had the habit Of doing their
best, which can their utmost, find
it a bit difficult to discover new ways
of saving. Recipes for canning to-
matoes fail to interest them, but they
delight in new, odd and uncommon
economics.
Almost any nice cook appreciates a
vegetable oast' as a novelty. It is
a winter dish made by canning q mix
ture Of vegetables.
Vegetable Roast.
Prepare corn, lima beans, toma-
toes, string beans, okra, squash, and
Feggplant as for canning separately.
Mix these in varying proportions. let
ting the corr predominate. Add 2 or
3 medium sized onions to each quart
of the mixture. run through a. food
chopper and stir until completely mix
ed. Pack into glass jars and steril-
lie. To prepare for serving, next win
ter, mix a portion with an equal
amount of bread crumbs, a piece Of
butter, and l egg, season with salt and
pepper, pack in a round baking dish
and bake until brown. Serve in slices
with drawn butter sauce. The mix
ture may be added to soup stock.
Sailed String Beans.
String the beans as for cooking,
pack In stone jars, a layer of beans
and a sprinkling Of salt. Pack light
", cover, and put a weight on top.
To cook next winter, soak the beans
over night in cold water, pour Off and
add boiling water and boil for one
hour. Drain, add fresh boiling water
and simmer until tender. Serve with
butter, bacon drippings or white
sauce.
Sailed Sweet Corn,
Cut the corn from the cob and mix
1t with salt, allowing 1 pint of salt
to l gallon Of corn. Put the corr in q
sterilized cheescloth bag, pack in a
crock and cover with a plate. Before
cooking soak i hour in fresh water.
drain and cover with boiling water.
boil 1 hour, drain, add more boiling
water, and when the corr is tender,
serve with melted butter.
Picked Corn and Beans,
Cooks who like sauerkraut often
prepare corn and beans by a picking
process. Put whole ears of corn. or
corn cut from the cob, or string beans
into a clean sack and suspend in a
barrel of brine. The corn ferments

Chapter I.

George was a strong man. He had
been a great strong baby. And from
the first he had been successful with
old he looked upon the little daughter
of a neighbor with favor, and crushed
her in his arms without further ado.
When she came out Of the hospital
with her two ribs mended she was
Georges devoted admirer.
Chapter II.
At school George was the recipient
of man, admiring glances from the:
little girls, as well as some Of the old
er ones. HE is such a big manly boy,'
they used to say. Don't you just
LOVE big manly boys?" Then they
would litter among themselves and
cast arch glances at George.
George, not being insensible to this,
used to stick out his tongue at them,
which added to their admiration. Fin
Fally he wasstired Of being pestered by
these feminine children, and N re-
cess he decided to try heroic measures.
So he crushed them in his great strong
boys arms after another in rapid
succession, kissing each Of them full
on the mouth. Whereupon they ran
Way weeping. @
Chapter III.
But George Porgie-this latter
name added to him because one Of the
girls he had kissed called him a poor
fish-discovered, to his amazemeut
that this wholesale sosculatory per-
Torrance of his did not seem to de-
tract from his popularity. The girls
spoke of him as that great, rude.
rough Georgia." but they certainly did
fall for him hard in their inner hearts.
Which explains a good deal of Georg-
les growing theory that the way to
handle girls was to Treat 'em
Rough!"
Chapter Nv.
So he treated 'em rough and be-
came a killer among the DANES.
