cHlLDREN's BATHS.

It is net safe for small children to take their baths without the super vision of some older person. Not at all because the small ones are not to be trusted to get themselves washed in thorough fashion. but because there are two dangers in bathing.
 The first danger is that of slipping in the tub and falling in such a man. ner as to get the face under the water and drown. More than one. grown ur has died from drowning in a bathtut but the mortality of children under similar circumstances is much great CT.
 The second danger is that of get ting burned or scalded by hot watsr The number of deaths of ~ebiidrer from this is larger than most mothers could possible believe.
 A little, child will let the water TUT full tilt, and is as likely to rcn i, piping hot as tempered with 3se cold He will jump into the tua without the ''try 1t out" system of the conser, vatiye and wiser grown -up--and St the fatal results of burning or seald ing to death. It is the exceptiona ease when a child who has been SC scalded recevers.

BY THE DOZEN.

A very practical remembrance for a travelling friend or for any girl who indulges in dab of powder now and then is a box of powder, pads, several dozen of them. You see, they gre really very small, much on the order of the wipes" or 'sponges" which classes in surgical dressings are mak. ing so quickly and deftly One sifts a bit Of fine French powder in a flesh shade in the center of a six inch square of aseptic gauge. Fold the gauge in three, as you would a hand kerehief. turning the last folds under heath to make a compact two inch pad with one flap slipped under the corner of the other to keep it from flying open and spilling the powder. Pack several dozen of these in a pretty box. They are very handy for carrying in the handbag or purse, as they do not spill the powder, but re- lease it plentifully when the pad is applied to the skin.

IN WAY OF TRIMMING.


 Have you g dress in the making that needs something in the way of bit of distinguishing decorative ness? No, you don't want enbroid- cry, and you don't want beads, and you prefer something newer even than applique. Wei, if you are looking for semething startiingly new the following ought to prove of para mount interest to you: Provide your self with some plain, marrow tape or ribbon. either satin or metallic, apply it in the desired motifs on the under side of the garment; secure it and finish the edges with machine hem stitching. On the right side you wE thus have achieved an unusually in terc sting embossed effect. Metallic ribbon thus applied is ever so lovely on evening dresses. And it is a very new departure from ribbon embroid,

While the scroll veil is popular, it has rival in the dotted veil. The lat ter may show, the dots in heavy chen file spots, velvet pastelles or in en- breiders of silk. Its chief, al1urement lies in its novelty. Nearly all the new veils have geometrical or irregular mesEes. many of them so elaborated with outline or tracery enbroideries as to resemble lace. Dark brown taupe and gray are favored celors, sometimes overwreught with white or black embroideries. The veil shapes are almost as varied as the eoiors and patterns. Some are square, others circular and there are those that are oblang. Indeed, a good deal of pains has been taken to shape the veil so that it will have an artistic relation te the hat which 1t will be ultimately worn

SET THE ASHES,

To anyone who has taken the time to look into the matter or who has given consideration to the ashes whiei, Le removes from his own stove CT heater there can be no surprise when committee in Broekly.s makes the statement that an inspection of the dumps shows that nearly a thousand tons of partly burned coal are thrown away every day. This represents an absolute waste and at 2 time not only when fuel is high but when it is next to impossible to buy. borrow or beg it.
 Under normal conditions those who are contributing to this waste may not feel that they are willing to con- tribute the small amount of work which is necessary, to reclaim this fuel the saving of which would make a ton of coal last many mora days than it does when the ashes are thrown away without sitting, but when such difficulty is being experienced in se- curing fuel because of the congestion which prevails on the transportation lines which no immediate premise of any great improvement. the need of elfectlns every Such saving ought to be apparent.
 There are those who make 8 prac- tice of shifting their ashes whether coal is high or hard to get. Tire sav- ing effected is greater than the effort re- quired, but when people persist in roll- ing cut for the ash collector that which is capable of keeping the home fires burning there, is a gross neglect oi personal welfare and an important les son in economy which needs to bE learned. The quicker this is realized the better off will be a great many ol the householders who are crying foi and getting coal these days ia drib- lets. Sitting ashes means the recla- nation of many tons of coal year.

SAFEGUARDING OUR PROPERTY

Combinations of circumstances are responsible in many cases for wrong conclusions and such may be the case with the explosions and fires which occurred on Saturday in tho govern ment torpedo station at Newport, in shipyards, on ships and in factories or storage houses where war supplies were being made or kept. It is to be remembered that fires and explosions occur in Mime of peace and just now with everything speeded up in order to increase the amount of supplies and equipment there is always a danger which must be taken into consideration from the haste that is being made.
 This is not sufficient. however, to re- move suspicion from such series of destructive fires, especially when it follows a warning that was widely s'-e7d throughout the country that J'' Q 'rr" i','-g pcr'd hn expected. It

ELIMINATE ALL FOOD WASTE.

There are those who have respond ed nobly to the demands for a eurtail- nent of the consumption of wheat and the substitution of other cereals which are equally nutritious. There are others who have responded in q cer- tain degree to the appeal Of the food administrator while there are some who have made no effort whatever to save, maintaining that they were not going to 6eny themselves until other people did or until they were actually forced to do so
 As the result of the reduced con- sumption of wheat through the willing compliance of consumers there has been a large saving. A wheat crop which did not come up to expectation has been made to go much further than it would otherwise have eone had this help not been given, but in spite of such 9 saving as has been made there is need for larger amount of wheat among our allies than we can furnish if consumption here is main- tained at its present rate. England, so it's food administrator says, needs dOyOVO,puU DuSHeiS OL WncdI 1Q order to continue the war and it is on limited consumption much lower than in this country. The effort to supply this will be undertaken through sav- ing 15.o00.000 bushels a month and this is inaugurated by a presidential proclamation urging g. greater saving and the substitution of other products. As the president says Tt is imperative that all waste and unnecessary con- sumption of all sorts of foodstuffs should be rigidly eliminated" and if all of the people give heed to this there can be little question but what there will be wheat enough to meet all re- quirements without causing anyone to suffer. And the time for everyone to start on such a basis is now.

When the railroads are returned to their private owners some time after the war, the date now being under discussion by the director general of railroads and the senate committee on interstate commerce, they will be big ger and better railroads for the simple reason that one and not forty mine superintendents shaped their destiny. Government ownership of the roads is not up for discussion at this time. The director general has not gone on record one way or the other. From what is gleaned in casual utterances, however, it may be taken for granted that MT. McAdoo will turn back the properties.
