CARE OF BABIES.

The clothing in hot weather should
be light and on very hot days only
the shirt, band and napkin worn.
Battle the baby morning and even
ing and on hot days also in the mid
die of the day.
Keep the skin clean and well powd-
cred.
Napkins when soiled should be plac-
ed at once in water and washed as
soon as possible.
The baby needs fresh air quite as
much as fresh food.
Keep him out of doors as much as
possible.
Avoid the sun on hot days.
In very hot weather take him out
early in the morning and in the late
afternoon and early evening.
It is often cooler in the house, with
shutters closed, in the middle OF the
day.
Take the baby to the park, to the
beach and to the country whenever
you can.

Washington, Aug. 81 - Assistance
being sent to the Czecho-Slovaks in
the Baikal region of Siberia will reach
them in time to thwart the efforts of
the Austro-G German prisoners and the
Bolsheviki against whom they are
fighting, according to information
reaching Washington.
It was learned that the Allies are
sending large quantities of arms and
ammunition to the Czechs and that
heavy artillery is included in the sup

reasons, to disclose from what source
these supplies are being sent but
high official in the State department

That Germany appreciates the i'm

in an Essen newspaper and reported
from Amsterdam to the effect that
Soviet troops had blown up the Baikal
tunnel. It was pointed out by officials
familiar with this railroad that there
are no less than 33 Baikal tunnels, all
of them hewn out of solid rock, so that
any attempts to blow up one of them
would simply delay transportation for
a short time until debris could be

Washington, Nov. 18.-The direct cost of the war for all belligerent na- tions to last May 1, was reported at about $175,0OO,OO0.000 by the federal reserve board bulletin issued today and it is estimated that hte cost will amount to nearly $200,000, ,0O0,444 be- fore the end of this year. These cal culations weer compiled by the board from various sources and while their accuracy is not vouched for, the board believes the figures are substantially correct.
 For purely military and naval pur- poses it is estimated that all belll- gerents had spent about $132 2,O0O, ,00O,- 900 to May 1 or about three fourts Of the total war cost. The baalnce rep resented interest on debt, and other indirect war expenditures.
 The cost mounted as the war grew in proportion from year to year IS illustrated by tabulations showing that the mobilization and the first five months of the war in 1914 cost all belligerents about $10,OO0, ,0OO,OO0. In 1915 the expenses jumped to $26 ,Oo0,-

 expenses have run only a little above the rate last year.
 About $15O,000 100000 of the total
 war cost has been realized by war
 loans of various nations and cOmpara- lively little by taxation. The public debt of the principle entente allies is
 calculated at approximately $105,0O0.- 900 ,000 or more than twice as much as the aggregate debt of the Central Powers, set at $45,000, 100000. This
 does not take into consideration debt incurred since last May.
 The enormous size of the war costs and debt is illustrated by comparison with the anti-war debt of the seven principal belligerents, which did not
 xceed $25,0O0, 100000. The cost of
 supporting this debt was only about 1 $1 GOO 100000 year. Hereafter the an-

 than $1O,0OoOW,O0o and probably much more.

Leader Martin. With the sena e
 awaiting the revenue bill and having l little other business and with the
 house vortually suspended under the
 three day recess program, leaders l planned an early adjournment until i the new session opens two weeks i hence.
 Final action by the senate today on
 prohibition bill was expected by pro- libition advocates. They hoped that 1 the Washington rent profiteering rider which the house refuses to ac-
 cept and which has held up the bill l for several weeks, would be elimin- I ated and the prohibition measure placed in position for transmission to 1 President Wilson, whose approval is
 regarded as certain by the bills sup j porters.
 The senate struck out the Wash
 ing on rent profitee1.lng rider. which
 had held up the bill, and without a roll call adopted the conference re- ! port on the remainder of the provi- sions which the house already had approved.
 As transmitted to President Wilson, the prohgition feature would sop sales of distilled, malt or vinous bev- erages June 30, 1919. and thereafter during the war and demobiliZatlon.
 Manufacture of distilled spirits now is prohibited under the food control law which will expire with the world peace treaty.
 Regarding malt and vinous bever- 1 ages, the new measure provides that their manufacture shall cease May l, 1 1919 and their sale for beverage purposes July 1. Manufacture for export is not prohibited but imports of all intoxicating beverages during the war and demobilization are i barred.
 Plans to adjourn the present ses- sion of congress sine die Thursday were made today by Democratic lead l CTS of senate and house, after the ] senate finance committee had report
 ed that it will be impossible to sub
 init the war revenue bill gefore the 1 new regular session of congress opens
 December 3. The Republican leaders
 planned to make poll of thelr mem- l bership on the subject. l Republicans boiled overWhelmlngly
 in favor of adjournment, and their
 leaders said the adjournment pro
 gram would in all likelihood go ] through.
