Remedies for The Earache.

For an earache. dry heat is the SAT
est remedy. Never should the mother
drop oil or anything else into the ear
without being especially ordered to do
so by doctor. A small hot-water bag
with flannel cover, kid glove-finger
filed with salt and then heated in the
oven, or, simply, a flannel made very
hot and covered by another one to hold
in the heat, may be placed over the
baby's ear to relieve the pain. If TINS
does not seem enough, then small
rubber ear-syringe may be filled With
hot water; and while the lobe of the
go is gently held downward and back
ward the mother should use the
syringe carefully, then apply the hot
flannel after drying out the ear. When
pus has formed, or If this simple treat
ment does not relieve the acute pain,
a doctor should be asked to examine
the ear. Possibly the drum membrane
may need to be opened. Hot boric
acid solution or some other disinfect-
ant will be needed to syringe the
ear if pus is present.-Marianna
Wheeler, in the Peoples Home Jour
nal.

One New Note In
Musical Comedy

THE musical comedy roster was, as a
l. rule, of the conventional type.
Glitter and girls were the chief con-
Comitants. Most Of the scores left alb
solutely no impression. The funmak-
ing depended very slightly on anything
provided by the llbrettists Jerome
Kern furnished engaging light melo-
dies for "Oh, Boy" aud "Toot Toot,"
both Of which were admirably pro-
duced, and "Hitchy-Koo," the amor
phous revue, captalned by Raymond
Hitchcock, proved breezy and dlyerting.
The Winter Gardens offerings at the
revived Chestnut Street Opera House
were Of familiar pattern. albeit one
that is exceedingly popular.
The sole new note struck in musical
shows came from abroad. In THE Land
Of JOY" Spain sent us most captivat-
ing potpourri of melody and dancing.
The charm OF Nalverde's score, the
rhythmic grace OF the Valencian senor-
itas and the brlliancy Of investiture
made this production as exceptional as
il was richly welcome
