ing the siege of Paris. even though it
was a time of great famine and star
walton. the mortality among infants
fell 40 per cent, although there was a
great increase in the general death
rate.
This was simply because the women
could not secure cows milk for their
babies, nor were they able to work in
the factories and shops. but were
obliged to stay at home and nurse their
babies at the breast.
In the industrial centers OF the Unit
ed States, such as the mill towns OF
New England, where many women are
employed. the mortality among infants
is almost twice As high as in similar
towns in which there are no women
employed in factories.
Breast feeding Should be continued
for the first year il possible.
If the baby cannot be nursed BY
the mother. modified cows milk should
be used. This should he prepared only
under the direction of a physician.
Keep the baby clean and cool during
hot summer months by frequent bath
ing in tepid water.
Keep flies away from the baby anc

HOUSEWIFE CAN BE
HER OWN CHEMIST

Every housewife can be her own
chemist and analyze one thing at least
the potato. The necessary implc-
ments are found in every home-1a gra.
ter. tin cup and n piece of cheese
cloth.
Stretch the cheesecloth over the cup
place your crater on the cloth and
crate the potato. The water will pass
through the cloth and by measuring
II you will find that it Is about four
fifths of the potato.
The starch granules are so minute
that they pass easily through the
chcesecloth. The remainder Ct the
solid substance is a woody fibre calico

the starch. dry the latter. and you will
have the exact proportion of starch tn,

breed being used by the allies to trans

In localities where it is impossible
to install telephone lines and too dam
gerous to wig ag. pigeons are used
almost exclusively and few of them
have fallen into enemy hands.
French troops were the first to use
the "homers." probably introducing
them on account of their use in the
Franco Prussian war when carriers
were sent by the scores from block

Kept Healthy

Il just know I'll never pull baby
through the summer." exclaimed dis
couraged wife TON felt he ought to
serve his country when his regiment
was called, so there Will be no vaca-
ton for us. An apartment Is no place
for n baby in summer. and, this Is his
second summer, too
This respondent mother Is borrow
ing trouble. There is no reason why
baby should be uncomfortable in an
apartment. and it Is quite an efro-
neous idea that the second summer
Is so fatal In fact, records show
that there is more illness among
babies during their first summer II
a child is healthy and is properly fed
ana cared for. no mother need feel any
greater anxiety simply because is Is
the second summer.
To keep an apartment" baby well,
the airing is of prime importance.
This mother can make a vacation Tor
herself by simplifying her housework
and giving the time to babys out
ings. He can be taken out early IN
the morning and kept out until IL
o'clock. If she has selected a place
where there is n cool, shady spot. ne
can be kept outside AL day, but
child should not be taken into the not
sunshine between IL q. m. and $3.50

sity to mothers who do their own
housework. Given a few toys child
will amuse itself and being confined
within the yard, care being taken that
it is not placed in draught the
mother need fear no danger for her
child If he has reached the age when
he tries TO stand. the rungs of the yard
will be an assistance in performing
this feat
An apartment" baby should be es-
pecially guarded against draughts
There must be ventilation; but the

room open day and night.
If the child takes his maps in the
perambulator in the open air, as is
prevalent custom, be sure the con
veyancc has a hood and never lay
baby in hammock or carriage witf
the bright light striking directly upor
the eyes. This is frequently the cause
of defective eyesight in the later schoo
days. Folding carriages, while espec'
tally convenient for the apartment
baby, should not be used for infants
These not only cramp babS's muscles
and afford insufficient protection. bu
the reclining occupant is directly ex'
posed to the germ laden low currents
The regulation carriage is sufficient,
elevated to avoid the street contamina
ton. When the child can sit up wei
the folding cart can be used withou
this danger.

TEST JELLY BEFORE
ADDING ANY SUGAR
, ~ elppv BYE.

Jelly making is the most trouble
some Of all preserving processes. Too
little or too much sugar will always
spoil the jelly.
To tell just how much sugar should
be used with each kind of juich, place
a teaspoonful of juice in a glass and
add spoonful of 95 per cent grain
alcohol.
Shake the glass gently to mix. then
pour slowly and watch how the pee

that makes them jell-is precipitated
If the precipitation is in one lump, a
cup of sugar may be used for each of
juice. Should the precipitation be in
several Jumps the sugar should be
three -fourths the amount of juice.
Should no precipitation be shown
the juice is not adapted to jelly ma
king and should be mixed with apple
or other juice rich in pectin.
