Art Collection
 Now Stored Safely

Philadelphia, Aug. 8.-The $4,5OO,- 900 are collection bequeathed by John G. Johnson to this city is now safely stored in a fireproof warehouse. Mir Johnson was lawyer of international fame and his hobby was buying pie lures. He was well known abroad as an art expert. The Johnson collec- ton includes about 1900 paintings.
 In bequeathing his collection to Philadelphia MT. Johnson stipulated that the treasures should be kept on exhibition in his home and that the city should annually appropriate mon ey to care for them. It was decided that a collection of such value should be contained in a fireproof gallery and the residence is now being altered with this object in view.
 It is said that outside of the British National Gallery there is perhaps no collection of classic paintings that IS so chronologically complete as is that accumulated by MT. Johnson, and 1t is certain that there is nowhere any private gallery to be compared with these carefully selected exemplars of Italian, Flemish, French, Dutch. Ger man, Spanish and English schools of art. MT. Johnson's collection is prac- tically an embodied history of paint ing for the long period which it in- cludes.

Home Health Club

Summer Notes for the Baby.-Tho hot season is trying one for both mother and babe. This should be remembered by every one in the household, who should do all in their power to help relieve the mother of other work and give her an oppor- tunity of caring for her baby and her self, relieving her mind from other matters, as summer has many wor- ries for the mother and dangers for the little ones.
 The infant should sleep on a cot by itself, not in bed with other people. It should have plenty of fresh water to drink, and adjust the amount of clothing to suit the wealth CT. Do not let the babe suffer from heat neither expose it to cold draughts. The flannel stomacher for babies should be worn in summer always. It prevents chilling of the bowels, which is a common source of diarrhoea. The milk should be heated to ITO degrees F. This is sufficient to kill the germs in it, but not make 1t indigestible as 1t would be if boiled. If the baby's bowels are too loose, scald the milk given, until they become properly regulated. A little lime water should be added to neutralize the acidity in the stom- ach or correct the milk when it is on the point of turning though not ac- tually sour.
 To Make Lime Water-Take a piece of unslacked lime the size of a hens egg, pour on half a gallon of perfectly pure water. Shake well and allow to stand for a few hours, then use the clear water on top.
 Bottles and nipples should be given especial care in hot weather. Nipples should be washed in scalding water and then kept in vessel of water, in which a teaspoonful of borax or so- dium bicarbonate of soda has been added to a quart of water. The greatest possible care must be giver to containers for babies food, inas- much as milk develops poisons which are very dangerous. A little boraa added to the bath of the child in hot weather Is better than to use soap swhich often promotes chafing anG discomfort.
 Over-feeding as have often tolt you, kills by far more people thar starvation. I mean by that, actua starvation for want of food, for ther, are cases of starvation in which ar over-abundance of food is eaten dail! and but little if any of it digested not enough to repair the natura waste. In the case of infants thert are two processes necessary. Nutri ton which simply replaces that whicl is worn out and discarded and assim ilation, which builds new tissue or re places that which has been injured or destroyed.
 have many times cautioned vol against over-eating, don't overfee the baby. Keep it and it's food clean Dress it cool in the summer ant warm in the winter and you won have many sick spells to contend with.

EXISTENCE: VERY DIFFICULT TASK
 IN PETROCRAD

Petrgorad, Aug. S.-The difficulties hedging in existence of those who live. in Petrograd during these times of disturbed regime and shortage in ne- cessties of life, extend in all their details to the ordinarily simple task of buying a shirt. To accomplish this takes time, patience and deternina-1 tion.
 First, one must find the shirt. One may visit forty shops before he finds one of the proper size. The ques- tion of preference of style is not to be considered for one moment. OtherS wise one will never get the shirt. Have ing found something that resembles shirt of the proper size, one depos- it's a small payment to hold it.
 The next thing is to convince ones house committee-there is commune in every apartment house in Petro- grad now-that he needs shirt. If the house committee passes favorably on the subject, it so reports to the pre- cinct or district soviet or commune, This in turn reports to the comnlis- sary in charge of the distribution of shirts and kindred articles of clothing. If one is quite lucky, after five or six days time, he receives a duly sign ed and sealed permit to buy shirt. Then he buys it, but ordinarily pays the Russian equivalent of $15 or $20. Some of the poorest quality, may be | found as low as the Russian equiva-. lent of S5.
 This restriction of purchase extends | to all major articles of mems and wo-5 mems clothing and shoes, and, recent ly, because of the linen and cotton goods shortage, was applied to hand kerchtefs. Prices for everything are in proportion to the shirts, an ordin-, ary suit of mems clothing costing the equivalent of $100.

 (Answer). The complaint which you describe is a very annoying one, but as rule may be readily over come by simple treatment. Wash the surface affected daily with 2 strong solution of borac acid or with a l per cent. solution of formalin in water. Internally a special prepara- tion of issue foods should be taken. A wash composed of vinegar to which has been added two teaspoonfuls of salt and teaspoonful of red pepper to the pint is also often very effective. A laxative and nonstimulating diet should be used, consisting principally of bran bread, green vegetables, fruits and fruit juices and buttermilk. Meat and eggs especially should be avoided Tor time. Plenty of water should be taken, at least four to five pints daily. If the feet are affected, pow dered boric acid should be dusted into the stockings, and the home treat ment for sweating feet, mentioned in Vol. 2 of the Home Health Club books carried out.

(Answer). In order to be able to give intelligent advice in such a case as yours, it is necessary for me to now particulars. Nervous troubles including insomnia, may be due tc various disorders. Very often the digestive and eliminating organs are at fault, such as indigestion, liver kidney and bowel troubles Ere quently cases of that character are due to excesses, too heavy work physical or mental, sometimes tc transgressions of the laws of nature injuries to the spine or brain, afflic. tons of the eye, in fact most disease. to which man is heir may produce an extremely sensitive nervous con dition. To use morphine, opiate! and similar drugs may produce sleeI for the night, but they greatly weaker your whole system.

One of the reasons for the coal
shortage last winter was the failure
of dealers and householders to lay

Of winter came. This was largely
due to the uncertainty which pre-

IN CHICKEN WORK

Washington, d. c., April 23.-The
United States Department Of Agri-
culture again advises farmers to sell
their hens gradually and not to glut
the market Immediately after April
20. when the restriction against sale
of hens was removed. Hens should
be sold gradually. This will stabil-
ize the market and bring better
prices for them. 1t also will mean
more eggs. Every laying hen at this
season produces eggs at far less cost
for feed than during the winter.
