Some mother have the habit of rubbing the delicate little features of a. small baby in ev. i cry direction when washing it, forget ting how pliaole is the skin, and how indelible the impress made on the face and features in infancy
 Instead of rubbing babys face, wash it ever so gently with a soft! cloth and then pat it dry. Never rub 1t. Eyes and Eyebrows. Similarly, the eyebrows should be cared for as early as possible. The eyes, of course, should be bathed reg ularly in a solution cf boric water to keep the eyellds healthy and the lash es clean md growing, keI eyelids are ineXcusable in a small child, and they are due tc the neglect of so sim ple care as the daily bathiag in bo- ric
 The eyebrows also can be rinched together lightly so that they grow in a thin, curved line and form the beau tiful high arCh which is so diHcltlt to secure in lay life.

 The habit of dandIing and tossing children about in playfulness often has so many serious consequences that the intelligent parent will gener- ally give heed to the physicians ad- vice on the subject. But still many of the minor little habits very often result in making ugly what should be part of the child's bodily beauty. For example:
 Some mothers have the habit of pulling the child's arms upward in the mistaken belief that this helps it to stretch ard grow. Nothing could he more absurd. In fact, this little trick if repeated often enough on the | tiny baby will influence the shoulders to grow high and square instead of sloping and gracefully. The child | will instinctively stretch its own arms l and legs without adult aid if if left | happily to itself
 However, if there are some minor defects of bodily beauty a little atten- tion will sometimes help to correct them. For instance:
 The small girls wrist may be round- ed by lightly massaging from the base of the hand over the wrist
 Finger nails may delicatey be train ed to grow into the shapely oval by pressing gently on both sides of the

There are a number of questions that seem to be asked again and again and Miss Irene Weed, the City Home Demonstration Agent, has prepared answers covering the points about which the greatest doubt seems to ex- ist. They are given below:
 Question-Will the contents of the can keep if some of the liquid has disappeared?
 Answer-Yes, without any doubt, if when both bales are loosened one tries the universal test for glass top jars-lifting the jar by the cover. If it holds everything inside the jar $ absolutely sterile, regardless of whether the liquid has boiled out 1 little or very much.
 Question-What makes the liquid apparently disappear?
 Answer-There are two causes one when the water does not come at least an inch above the tip of the jar when boiling. There is an un- equal pressure which forces the water out of the can if the water in the boiler comes to the shoulder of the can. Another reason Is that the top bale may be too lose and as the liquid boils in the jar, a little may force its way out between the covers and the rubber. of

ANY MAN TO ANY MAN
By GERALD STANLEY LEE

DO not know how other men feel about 1t but ind it hard with all that is happening 10 the world today 10 look small boy in the face.
 When small boy looks tuSn8y up to me and see his world - the world he thinks he is going to have in his eyes am afraid
 The look in his eyes of the world he thinks he is going to have cuts me to the quick
 have always felt had an understanding with small boy before.
 But the last four years when he looks al me in that old way and think of his word-the one see in his eyes-the one had myself-the one every small boy has right to- see suddenly instead the that is being left over for him by me- by all of us the one he will have to try to put up with have to live n have to be man in, when you and have stopped trying.
 Then when face the small boy want to go off in a wide high place alone and think and ask God l want to go down into the city and fi8ht-f9ht with my money and with my hope go the top with my religion and then come back and face the small boy
 There are days during this struggle when my soul is spent and all the world seems made of iron and glass and all these crowds of people Hooking through the streets who do not seem to care.
 It seems as if would not turn over my head to save world to live in myself. It does not matter about me-and some days the people see go by almost make me think il does not matter about them. ..
 Then suddenly go by trocps of school children at four o'clock pouring out into the streets. pouring like fire, pouring ike sunshine out into the streets
 It is as the roll of drums for the Liberty Loani
 want to ring great church bells to call people to the Red CroSS
 My rule for mans finding out just how much he should subscribe to the Red Cross is this:
 Put down your name and address on the blank and leave the amount open to think. Then try going past schoohouSe about four o'clock when the children pouring out
 Or in the evening when the house is quiet put down your name and the best figure you dare on the white paper.
 Then go upstairs minute and look in the crib
 Then look al your blank when you come down once more.
