THE BABY'S BATH.

The skin should be kept clean.
Every child should have at least one
tub bath daily and on holidays ons
or more sponge baths as well. For
the tub bath sufficient water should
be used to cover the baby's body.
and it should be from 80 to 85 de-
grees, F. A sponge bath properly
given should take from five to ten
minutes. One or two tablespoons
fuls of alcohol, or teaspoonful OF
bicarbonate of soda added to the
bath water are pleasantly cool and
refreshing.
No unnecessary exposure or de-
lay should take place, for in cold or
cool weather the baby is quickly
chilled. To prevent this, all neces-
sites, such as soap and towels, clo-
thing, bath apron for the mother,
tub, water, thermometer, powder,
and the like should be placed at hand
before undressing the baby. In
some cases it may be much more con-
venient for the mother to give the
bath at night, just before the ba-
by's bed time. Never lathe baby
within an hour of feeding. A baby
should always have his own towels
and wash rags. Soft cheesecloth
makes excellent rags; the towels
should be old and soft.
Dry carefully with soft warm
towels, patting the skin gently.
Never rub the baby's tender akin
with anything less smooth than the
palm of the hand. Dress as rapidly
as possible if the weather is cold,
taking great pains not to expose un-
necessarily. When the weather 10
very hot in summer, only a slip and
diaper are needed.
If the skin is carefully dried az
ter a bath there will be little need
| for powder, and it should never be
used as a cover for careless drying.
It is well to use little pure talcum
powder in the creases and folds Of
the skin, but it should not be used 90
generally as to fill the pores Of the
skin and clog them and should Be
applied only after the skin is dry.

Chairman

A VETERAN JEWEL GIVEN.

Ely Lodge, No. 220, of the Order
of Odd Fellows, held Smoker"
last night at the lodge hall. A
committee consisting of F. A. Kent,
John T. Nankervis, James I. Laing
and o. Knutson arranged for the
meeting An official visit by VIM.
A. Pettenger of Duluth, and Grand
Master of the Odd Fellows Of Mimi
esota, was a feature of the evening
program. A Veteran Jewel was pre-
sented to VIM. Phillips, one Of the
organizers of the lodge in 1894, and
a member of the Odd Fellows for
over twenty-five years. The meet
ing was patriotic in nature and boost
ing for the Fourth Liberty Loan was
done by the members. The lodge
already has 81, 400 worth of Liberty
Bonds, but unanimously voted to
buy 5000 of the Fourth Liberty
Loan Grand Master Pittenger de-
livered an address urging members
Individually to support the Loan.
He also spoke of the plans Of Odd
Fellows for war relief. He said in
part: "Our Grand Lodge recog-
nizes it's duty in this war We want
to serve our soldier members. We
are raising j n Minnesota $25, 900
yearly as a relief fund for our MEM
bers in this state who may suffer mis-
fortune in this war. Plans are also
on foot to establish Odd Fellow
Clubs and recreational buildings for
our members at army cantonments
and with the armies in France.
Thus will it answer the call to duty,
and meet its commands Of brotherly
love, relief and truth"

ON PRICES ADVANCED.
Tuesday Ore Prices We're Advanced
rs Cents a Ton.

The price fixing committee Of the
War Industries Board has advanced
the price of iron ore 25 cents per
gross ton, effective October 1.
Iron ore has been advanced 20
cents a ton during the year. Pro-
ducers say that they would prefer
the old price that prevailed last year,
and this year up to July 1, barring
the increased costs incident to pro-
duction and transportation. They
feel that 70 cents increase in the
two advances made this year do not
offset the costs which have accumula-
ted since the old prices were in
effect. A good many If the inde-
pendent iron ore producers are said
to be making no money at all. One
in authority estimates that not to
exceed 10 per cent of the independ-
ent iron ore producers are making
any profit from their operations.
Few of the independent operators
that have underground properties
are making any money, barring the
M ducers Of tao ,ganiferous iron
Gle.
Operators of open pit mines are
making moderate profits.
It is provided that the present
prices of iron ore are subject to fur
Their increase in the event of further
