The ski tournament OF the Alpha
Aid-winter Carnival is bringing out
more interest than any other feature
sof the meeting On every hand the
talk Is over the ski jumping. This
condition has been brought about
mainly by the fact that a couple OF

HOW TO TREAT CONCLUSIONS
Hot Bath the First Thing to BE Ad.
mlnistered to Child Who Suffers
From That Complaint.

When a baby has commissions, ii gem
orally means one Of two things: either
il is suffering from toxaemla, or pois-
oning, which Is usually the result of
errors In the diet, or else there is some
serious trouble with the nervous sys-
TEN. II feeding Is az the bottom OF the
trouble, find out the error and correct
ii, and the attacks will cease. When
there Is organic trouble present, the
case is more serious. The attack may
be stopped, but 1t is likely 10 recur If
the underlying cause persists. Such
are the commissions caused by menln-
gifts, or acute inflammation Of the
brain coverings, and by hydroccphalus,
or water pressing on the brain.
II is unnecessary TO describe the
symptoms, for the most inexperienced
person knows when "A baby Is having
CONFUSION. Ia older people ten
dency TO commissions indicates an un-
stable nervous system, and that is
probably true Of infants who have con-
vulsions In consequence of dietary err
rors that would leave stronger chill
dren unaffected. Children who have
commissions in their first year often
suffer from night terrors, tics, and 9TH
er signs Of nervous instability later in
life Sometimes commissions are the
FIRST signs of an epilepsy that Is TO
appear in after years.
The first thing to do when baby
falls into a CONFUSION is 10 get 1t
into warm bath as quickly as pos
sible. That Is done 70 relieve blood
tension and equalize the circulation,
and 10 this end It Is we'll to give cold
applications to the head at the same
time
DO not hesitate 10 give the hot bath.
Sometimes inexperienced people who
dread 10 make mistake insist on
waiting until the doctor comes. But
the hot bath for baby IN commissions
can never be mistake. The doctor
should be called without delay, be-
cause In severe cases the bath must
be followed by sedatlve and reliev-
ing treatment TINT lie only viii know
how to employ. There Is one import
ant "don't7 10 cmcmber-don't put
anything into the child's mouth-either
food, medicine or stlmulant while
you are waiting for the DOCTOR

Results Of Civil War.

"That is what gives dignity TO a
day like this. 1t is not a day Of re-
greet; it is not day of weakening
memory. 1t is day of stimulation.
But, my friends, these stimulating
memories We are sometimes apt to
minimize because we do not see the
full significance of them. We are con
stantly speaking Of the great war, of
which we think today as a war which
saved the Union, and it did, indeed,
save the Union, but it was a war that
did a great deal more than that. 1t
created in this country what had never
existed before-a national conscious
ness. 1t was not the salvation of the
Union; it was the rebirth of the Union.
1t was the time when America for the
first time realized its unity and saw
the vision of it's united destiny.

white accompany the veterans to the
burial places, and as each grave is
reached veteran stands at either

down and lays bouquet upon the
grave, the men standing at salute
meanwhile. Rising, the little white
