Mary Jane to the Rescue.

After Tommy had his first feast Of
cream, he went down the alley to the
milk house every day for more. And
he even pursuaded Mrs. Tommy to go
with him and get some, too. She was
frightened at first, Of course but she
had heard so much about that
luscious cream from Tommy that she
determined to have some, even
thought she did get nearly frightened
out of her little wits. And as moth
ing happened after all, she went
again and again.
Till at last the neighbor began to
suspect that Something was wrong,
and what do you suppose ne did?
Set a trap? No, you're wrong. He
nailed strips Of tin all along the edge
Of h floor and as Tommy could not
gnaw his way through tin, he had to
stay out. And hat wasn't very nice
when he could smell that delicious
cream just inside.
To make matters worse, q mid
summer drought had set in and it
was hard work to get eve water to

such as Tommy had been feasting
on! And mice hav to have plenty of
water, you know.

Whatever the %container used for
dried foods-glass. tin or paper-let
it be small. This is the admonition
of the expert who writes Uncle Sans
cook books.
If q. small amount of dried prod
uct Is put in each receptacle, just
enough for nj Or WI meals, it will
not be necessary to open a c%ontainer
the contents of which cannot be con
the small container also makes 1t
more difficult for insects to spoil large
quantities of the dried fruits or vege-
tables.
II a paper bag is used. the upper
part should be twisted into a neck.
bent over, and tied tightly with a
string.
II a further precaution is neces-
sary the bag can be painted with a
brush dipped into melted paraff1n.
Another precaution may be taken by
placing the small bags in a tin con
tainer with a tightly fitting cover. All
bags should bear a label indicating
what they contain.
If fruits or vegetables are packed
in tight containers immediately upon
being dried thoroughly. they will re-
taken from the drier.
II, however, they r nc dried
thoroughly, they will sweat and
soon mold. To prevent this the ma-
terial should be examined within "a
hours after packing, and If 1t appears
moist 1t must be dried further.
It will be found advisable to Com
dition" practically all dried vegetables
and fruits.
This is best done in a small way
by placing the material in boxes and
pouring 1t from one into another once
q day for three or four days, SO as
to mix 1t thoroughly and give to the
whole mass an ever degree OF mois'
ture.
II the material is found to be toe
moist, 1t should be returned to tht
drying trays for a short drying.

The mother who keeps her baby
clean and cool In hot weather robs
summer Of half of its terrors. A dip
In the morning and a quick sponge
bath before. going to bed for the night
will go a long way coward keeping
baby well in July and August
Because the house lacks a bath tub
is no reason baby should lack his
bath. If it is not possible to obtain
a small tin tub for baby's special use,
anything which will hold both the
baby and the water will do-a wash
tub or boiler, q pail or hand bowl,
provided they are carefully scrubbed.
Even in hot weather the baby's
bath should be protected from drafts.
Never battle q baby within an hour
after feeding.
Hot water should never be added
to the bath while the baby is in the
tub.
Never leave a baby alone in the
tub.
A baby should always have his own
towels and wash cloth.
Dry the baby by patting with the
towel. Never rub a baby's skin with
a towel.
For prickly heat, use starch. soda
or bran baths in place Of the ordinary
soap and water bath. A soda bath
requires two tablespoonful of baking
soda to a gallon of water. For a bran
bath, tie the bran in a bag Of cheese
cloth, and squeeze 1t until the water
becomes milky. For a starch bath,
allow a cup Of ordinary cooked laun-
dry starch to a gallon Of water.
II a baby objects to going into q
| tub, wrap him in q towel a..u iuHet
| him gradually into the water, or
| spread a towel over the top of the tub
so that he cannot see the water as he
Is lowered into 1t. Sometimes a baby
will cease his objections If his lace is
over.
Never upset a baby's sensitive ner.
vous system by force or harshness.
