How to Bathe the Baby

Mariana Wheeler. in The People s
 Home Journal.
 Giving baby his bath is one of the mos. important things in his daily Ioutine, and one which most young mothers dread until they become ac- customed to it's details. It may be ac- complished with ease. and with real enjoyment on the part of both mother and baby. if the following advice is observed
 Before the trained nurse goes, or the mother leaves the hospital the mother should watch the nurse bathe the baby and then give the bath herself under the nurses supervision In very short time the mother will learn to give the bath easily and quickly. It should not take more than twenty minutes.
 The best time for the bath is in the morning about one-half an hour before nursing or bottle feeding If the morn- ing hours are busy ones for the moth- CT, I would suggest sponge bath at this time, and a tub bath just before the evening meal. Then feed the baby and put him in his crib for the night bath should never be given just after 8 meal.
 For the first few days of a baby's life. sponge bath on the nurses lap is the best, but the full tub every day may be given as soon as baby,s condition warrants it-unless, of course there is some special reason why it should be abandoned.
 In preparing the baby's bath there are several things that should not be overlooked: The temperature of the room should be 70 degrees for very young baby. and. until the child is six months old. not less than 6s degrees There should be thermometer in the room. hung at the level of the tub Doors and windows should be closed, as little babies are very susceptible to colds and drafts.
 If rubber tub is used, it will De elevated from the floor by its own stand: but if an-agate or tin tub is used, it should be placed on a low table and ia soft towel. or a piece of flannel, laid on the bottom of the tub so the hshv cannot come in contact with the, metal Before starting the bath. the mother should see that everything necessary is close at hand, making it- unnecessary for her to leave the little one during ablutions

Women as Soldiers

Madeline Z Doty. in the World Outlook.
 Women do not make good soldiers They shrink from the terrific onslaught. The Russian Battalion of Death was failure. Madame Botchkareva acknowl- edged it. She said when in America;
 q am keenly disappointed in women as soldiers. I do not say this because of their physical endurance. My bat talion had women as strong as men Many of them came from hardy, peasant stock. But I say it because women will not stand discipline. They cannot for get personalities long enough to take commands impersonally for the sake or q common objective. When 1t comes to war the only thing that counts is what you can do, not what you are. l am going back to fight as a soldier, but never again will l undertake to drill and discipline battalion of women.
 Madame Botchkareva did not. think. find the real reason of the failure. She gave the superficial one.
 It is true that women have not learned to work together and take or ders. But they are learning. They are beginning to organize for purposes or their own. They see the value of col lectivity But when they have be- come disciplined they will still not be good soldiers They reason is funda- mental. In their body they bear new life. To abuse the body is to abuse the child of the future, and women live for the future. But to be good sol dier one must live in the present.
 Temporarily Russian women have gone on the wrong track, They are magnificent creatures. but they have not expressed themselves. They have copied men. This they must not do. Women must give gifts of their own to must express them

 WAR SERVICE WORK
 With no school and no other war work open every Scout should get out into the open in search for hickory nuts. Remember that every seven pounds gathered will furnish material for a gas mask. The war department has issued special call to the Scouts for this service and urges speed and sticktoitiveness The fresh air and sun shine have been declared a preventive for influenza So hikes and automobile excursions in this work should not only be permitted by parents, but eh- couraged This work counts as war work, so accurate account of the time employed should be kept and reported to headquarters. Those who are will ing to go every day should call Scout headquarters and leave name. so that a sufficient number of automobiles may be furnished for each days trip.

Sherry Frey, an American sculptor in Paris. Sergeant Leslie Thrasher and F. Earl Christy and Corporal Duer are we'll known American illustrators; Walt Lee is a cartoonist and Sergeant Murphy IS an American mural decorator whose work is well known in England.
 But there must be something more than stage properties in the productions of these artists, they must be practical and suited to the uses of warfare, and 1t is the part of Colonel Bennion, head of the camouflage station, to keep these artistic productions within practical lim- it's. The colonel is an engineer officer with West Point training, and when any camouflaee is adopted for American army uses, it has the double merit Of being the product of American artistic skill and at the same time an eminentiy practical device from the standpoint of military engineering.

 Yet, every tree in the camouflage for~ est has steel core within which an ob- server peers forth to watch the move ments of an enemy or machine gun is located to sweep forth from its hidden recess. They are only one of the many strange devices to deceive and mystify the enemy which this American camou- flage station is sending forth to the fighting army.
 Camouflage is one of the distinctly new products of the war, even in the name, which was used for the first time by General de Castlenau, chief of staff of General Joffre. The word is not good French, but comes from the argot, or French slang. the very, "camoufler,' be- ing used by French police to indicate any disguise used to capture criminals For example, a detective camouflages himself by dressing as coachman.
 Early in the war the famous portrait painter, Giron de Sivela, conceived the idea of disguising batteries and build ings by painting them in fantastic pat terms blending with the landscape. He laid the plan before General de Castle nau. who. struck with the practical value of the plan, exclaimed, "Camou- flage.n And from that time the word grew and with it grew into tremen> dous magnitude, this art of misleading the enemy
