TT IS as natural for every baby to put
things into its mouth as it is for leaves
~ to turn toward the sunshine. Just why,
we are not absolutely certain, but some wise
people assure us that in the very early history
of the race our ancestors used the method Of
tasting almost everything with which they
came in contact, to see whether or not it was
material for food. If it was good and they
liked the taste of it, they chewed it with pleas
ure; if it was hard like a stone or bitter and
disagreeabe, they promptly spit it out.
Others attribute the tendency of baby to
put everything into its mouth to the fact
that the teeth are in the gums when baby is
born all ready to be erupted or pushed up as
the roots grow. Naturally, there is pressure
and a feeling of discomfort for a long time.
Whatever may be the reason that baby puts
things into its mouth is not absolutely neces-
sary for US to determine, but it is important
to keep watch of the child that il does not get
a safety pin or a cuff button some other
dangerous thing into his throat, receiving
rious injury or stranging before assistance
can be summoned
In the event of such an emergency, the first
thing to do is to telephone or send for a phys-
clan and to tell him what has happened so
that he will know exactly the kind of instru-
ments to bring to relieve the situation.
In the mean time, run your own finger into
the side of the child's mouth and down one side
Of the throat, SO as to hook out, if possible,
whatever may be lodged there. Sometimes sue
cess will attend such prompt effort and the
chds life be saved.

HOW TO MAKE SUGAR SYRUP

How many cooks know how to make syrup.
Cane sugar will dissolve in twice its bulk Of
cold water or in one-thrd more than its bulk
Of hot water Use one of these amounts there
and bring it just to the boiling point
If you do not wish 1t to crystalline cooling
use the first amount if you wish thicker
syrup use the proportion OF two to three. Never
boil syrup for two reasons--First, it wastes gas:
second, the resultant product will not be as
sweet If boiled. due to a chemical change in the
sugar. Ii will be as nutritious, but not as sweet
Never use less water than in the second propor-
ton. for this means n waste OF the undissolycd
srgar.--J. Z. K. Massachusetts,

The kitchenetter's Delight

TIME trouble with the little single burner
gas plate is that it cooks only one thing
at a time. 1t is by all odds the most
convenient size to have in the average kitchen.
ette, but it is trife difficult to cook even tn.
simplest meal over its solitary flame.
Now the inventive genius of man once more
comes to the aid of woman. This time it is the
Junior Nu-Top Heat Distributor, in the form
of fiat triangular cast iron plate, with open.
ings or pot holes in it, so that cooking may b
done over the open flame or on the stove lid
precisely as in the case of coal stove
In fact, if there were small, three e-cornerea
coal stove in existence its top would look very
like this. 1t fits neatly over the burner, and
the heat is evenly DETECTED to each one Of the
three five-inch circular openings, of which one
is located in each corner of the plate. When
it is desirable to have the opening smaller a
ring which comes with the top will reduce it to
three inches in diameter-or ring and lid may
be removed entirely, and the cooking done over
the open fame
In the centre, directly above the gas flame,
is Observation-Disclosures opening with a
removable lid This serves for quick cooking,
as sufficient hea. is derived from the one burn.
err 20 cook what is directly over the fame and
to simmer or heat anything else, or keep dishes
warm, by utilizing the excess heat from the
burner instead of allowing it TO escape into
the air.
In this way quite coed bit Of cooking may
be done upon burner which has never been
able to manage more than one dish. When il
comes to heating fatirons, this heat distribu.
ter is at its best. In fact, for all purposes It's
use closely resembles that of coai range, ex
cept that when you have finished the heat may
be turned off and the fuel expense ceases at
once.

VF YOU have your washing done at home
it will really pay to get Horton Ironing
Il Machine. OF course such things as mems

of sheets, pillow cases, table linen, towels, un-
derwear. soft shirts, handkerchiefs-in fact,
nearly everything in the whole weekly wash
1t works so rapidly that the time which
must be devoted to ironing is greatly short
ened, especially in the case of such piffiing
articles as handkerchiefs, table napkins and
fat collars. A dozen Of these can be spread
over the cylinder and ironed all at the same
time.

First Aid measures to Try for The Baby When
He Cbokes on d Safety Pin
or d Button

If the foreign substance has got down too
far hold the child head downward and slap it
vigorously on the back. If the object in the
throat can be seen, use two fingers to try to
get hold Of it with, pressing them to the back
of the throat. You may not get the article, but
if you gag the patient enough to cause vom-
iting it may be expelled in this way
The most dangerous thing to swallow is an
open-safety pin. and great care should be taken
that these arc never left where children can
get hold of them. In the event of their being
swallowed, little can be done until the sur
geon arrives.
If the article is finally removed from the
throat or windpipe and the patient shows no
sign of breathing, do not give up hope, but
promptly use artificial respiration. Loosen the
clothing at the neck. Lay the body on its back
Catch hold Of the tongue firmly but gently and
move it forward and backward a number of
times Pass ammonia or camphor near the
nose.
Take hold of the arms between the wrist and
the elbow and lay them across the stomach.
Still keeping the arms crossed at the wrists.
raise them up and back so that the crossed
wrists will be at the crown Of the head as the
body lies fiat. Then return the arms overhead
to the former position, slipping the hands of
the operator to the forearm so as to press the
elbows Of the patient close to his sides. Repeat
the three motions indicated rapidly. about
dozen times minute. Go through these move
ments regularly, allowing four seconds to each.
Do not give up the effort to restore breath
ing for long time or until expert help arrives.
