allay. Here Is where the soft, pill
able electric heating pad, which
can instantly be attached to a plug,
is almost invaluable. A child with
a sudden toothache may be soothed
quickly by placing such a pad near
the face, and for collie it is SINH
larly serviceable.
When baby goes outdoors it Is an
excellent plan to have an attach
able dust and wind shield for his
carriage. Babies, of course, should
never receive direct strong wind In
the face, and the purpose of this
well-made isinglass shield Is to pre-
vent wind and dust from reaching
baby's face and eyes.
When children begin to eat, the
mother is often harassed by the
dishes which they break and up
set. To avoid this there is an in
expensive feeding dish. The. dis
tinctiye feature of this is a wire
attachment which can be slid un.
der the table, and which thus pre-
vents the dish from upsetting or
spilling. It comes in many attrac-
tive designs that are sure to de-
light the little people.
Another first-aid in eating is a
particularly neat line Of oilcloth
bibs with shoulder cape which COM
pletely cover the front and save the
clothing underneath.
Every busy mother knows what
a problem it is when the baby gets
to the crawl stage" It means
constant surveillance to see that
the child gets into no danger and
that there are no objects which IL
can pick up or swallow or hurt
itself with.
An investment in a crib on
wheels with wire mesh sides has
proved a boon in many homes.
Since the bottom of this crib is
about a foot from the floor, the
child is raised away from draughts
and the many articles that II might
otherwise reach. The sides are
high enough so that even a two.
year-old child cannot crawl over
them, yet the mesh allows suffi-
cient air and chance for the child
to see through. A mother may
safely leave her child in such
crib with full security that II can.
not get into danger. Another de-
vice is a wooden fence" which
folds and which may be placed
wherever desired-on the floor of
the room OF on the porch-and thus
make a safe enclosure for the child
while he is at play. Another kind
of fence" may be quickly fastened
across the top Of a stair-head at
the door or other entrance where
II is desired to keep a child from
going out. The small cost of any
one Of these protective devices is
The Washington times., 1919-01-12

How many mothers have been
disappointed to find that the pretty
and expensive stockings and shirts
when washed in the usual way get
badly out of shape. There are sew.
eral kinds of wire stocking stretch
ers and wire shirt forms made to
overcome this difficulty. The
frames are of light retinned mate
rial, with flexible arms and legs,
on which the garments are to be
stretched while damp. If they are
then hung in a warm place the
garment will dry into perfect shape
without shrinking. These forms
can be purchased in several sizes
and the low price of them will GER
tainly be repaid in the better fit
and wear resulting to the gar
ments.
But I can't afford these de-
vices" is the reply Of many women.
Most Of them, however, are very
inexpensive, and 1t seems often
true that women who say they can
not afford practical devices that
theless are eXtravagant in other
directions. For instance, some
mother who may say she canot
afford a baby washer which would
save hours o. her time will, never
theless, but elaborate caps, ribbons
and ruffled garments for her child
A device that saves labor Is not a
WaSteful expense, but a profitable
investment.
The woman with young children
deserves every help that she can
find. Often she will not need a
maid servant il she has some of
these helps. Time and labor savers
in this line are just as we'll worth
while as labor savers in the kit
chen, in cleaning or in any other
line Of home work

To make this clear, let me ask you
IL you have noticed how a dying

precisely what happens when a

- HILDREN are too important a
part of every home to be
overlooked while we are dis
cussing how best to do the cooking
or the laundry or the cleaning. We
must not forget to learn. also how
best 90 care for the baby and young
child. In the care 'of the child
there are many devices and meth
DDS which will save the mothers
time and strength.
Bathing the baby is perhaps the
most important task Although
there Is much to say in favor of
dressing a child on the lap, there Is
equally much in favor of dressing
him on a table or tray on Wheels.
An excellent tray-table was made
Of the regular metal collapsible
wheel tray, such as can be bought
anywhere. This tray was fitted
with a convenient pad, and had
hung at one end bag with pockets
and 4 pineushion to hold many
needed articles while dressing.
Laid on this, baby can be dressed
much more easily, wheeled about
the room, perhaps to a warmer and
less draughty part, etc.
Several kinds of racks are on the
market to hold babys' clothes and
air and dry them. One Of the best
Is a horizontal series OF wire bars,
which can be raised, lowered and
made to assume several different
positions, as well as folding up en-
tirely. This may be stretched in
side or outside the regular window,
and Is capable Of holding as much
as fifty feet of clothes-line. Fast
ened to a wall, over a radiator, 1t
also gives good. service. There is
also another rack which raises to
the ceiling and which has eight
arms, each thirty inches long, on
which u is most convenient to dry
baby's napkins, etc. Another type
Is to. be set on the floor and un-
folds like an umbrella, thus giving
a large surface for drying many
articles.
One bathtub is made of rubber
stand. 1t has plug in the bottom
for the easy outlet of the water.
Baby will enjoy bath in this soft
rubber tub more than in the shaped
galvanized or porcelain tub. and ii
is so much more convenient for
mother. since she will not need to
bend over when giving baby his
bath.
To accompany this Is the water
proof bath apron, which will keep
the mother OF nurse dry at her
task. This Is most excellently we'll
made and fitting. Incidentally, the
same waterproof apron may be
used while washing dishes or at
any other kind of work where there
Is danger Of the garments becom-
ing soiled or damp.
An essential OF every nursery is
some sort of water and milk-heat-
ing device. II electricity is in the
house, 1t Is easy TO attach a special
kind Of bottle-warmer to the or
dinary connecting plug. This con-
sists OF a pint cup-shaped stand,
with a heating unit under 1t which
will boil a cup Of water in about
two minutes, and which may he
used also for warming baby's food.
IL no electric current Is avail
able, then one of the many solid
alcohol devices will serve equally
well. One of these has a deep cup
into which the bottle may be put
to warm. Another consists Of
small fiat saucepan which quickly
heats over the small can Of solid
alcohol.
