is YOUR BABY THE
PROPER WEIGHT


DR.. Holt, the eminent baby spe-
cialist, says that baby's weight tells
very accurately how well it is thriv-
ing. He recommends, the first year at
least, keeping weight chart. The
average baby weighs at birth z to
z IL pounds; three months, IL to Is
pounds; six months, Is to 16 pounds:
one year, 20 to % pounds.
If your baby isn't weighing what
it should, give it immediate attention.
The first place to look for the cause
of underweight is the stamach and
digestive organs, if they do not func-
ton properly, baby's body is not
properly nourished. Symptoms of
poor digestion are usually sleepless-
ness, fretfulness, loss of appetite,
constipation, diarrhoea and some
times slight fever.
This condition may be easily cor
rected with a good laxative, such as
Baby Ease" a perfected prepara-
ton by baby specialist. The castor
laxatives have tendency to irritate
and are too harsh for the delicate
membranes of baby's stomach. "Baby
Ease" is easy-acting, non-irritating,
does not produce over-action or leave
baby constipated. 1t is safe, harm
less and efficient laxative and correc-
tive for babies and children. If YOU
see no improvement after few doses,
take baby to physician. Ask your
druggist for "Baby Ease. - (adv)

Harem Boudoir Styles
Are Taking in Atlanta

ATLANTA, July 19.-Atlanta girls
will soon be wearing silken trous-
ers modelled after those of the ha-
rem, for their boudoir and house
costumes, according to fashion lead
ers. They say that for negligee
wear the harem style is both artistic
and modest. Models of rare grace
have been shown here, with soft blue
trousers, tan and white sash, Jack
ct of blue, and turban of oriental
stuffs.
The trousers hang loosely from the
hips, and are gathered daintily with
a silken cord around each ankle
Hose of the same color and turkish
slippers complete the costume. 1t

is designed for women who are pref
ty to begin with-women with soft
round necks and graceful, slender
curves. No woman with a scrimpy
neck can wear one. The trousers
are perhaps more roomy than the up
to-date walking skirt.
The creation, like all boudoir cos
tunes, is intended, of course, only
for the most intimate eyes. 1t may
not be worn in the street, nor yet in
the hallway for an interview with
the ice man.

Says Tech Must Have
$4,000 This Session

ATLANTA, July 19.-Dr. K. G.

chairman of the Tech board of trus-
tees, joined today in declaring that
unless Tech gets an emergency APP

Techs enrolment last year was
double that of the year previous, and
already application for the fall term

number received at this time last
year. In the face of the prospect for
a record-breaking number of stu
dents, they state that Tech has lost
thirty-eight members of its faculty,
who though loath to leave the school
because of their love and loyalty,
were yet forced to meet offers of
high pay elsewhere in simple justice
to their families.
Private institutions, with big en-
dowments, and industrial concerns

present appropriation, cannot hope

ready, we have lost thirty-eight of
our faculty. The situation is des-
perate. If this appropriation is not
granted, it is feared that Tech can
not hold the faculty she until the fall
term opens"
"The fact is that Tech cannot
afford to lose single teacher, but
that it is imperative for her teach
ing force to be increased" declared
Mr.. Matheson. Whatever is 6Ane

Such a fuss about nothingP

That was the sum and substance
of AIMS attitude toward her late I'M
pleasant connection with a murder
case and the law. 1t was her Gus
tomary attitude toward anything she
found distasteful. tt was her favor
lite excuse for evading the disagreea-
BILE. Never for a moment did Ann
understand that another had had to
worry and work to get her out of
her scrape, undisgraced.
Her next dilemma wasn't of such
tremendous importance; it was
merely social affair, but it might
have ended in extreme embarrass-
ment and humiliation for her and
for the Lorimers, if, as usual, Ann
had not fallen back on 60 I'd friends
to rescue her.
Ann planned to give unique lun-
cheon for some of the debutantes

elusive school of home economics,

thropy, etc, etc.

fore she was "assimilated" by her

boys sake, we had resolved to make
Ann the social success of the ensu-
ing season.
Money and mother can do it,"
was Chrys' confidential dictum. ''Next
winter probably will be the biggest
social season in the history of the
whole country. it will not be
enough to have people simply nice
to Ann. For Jim's sake, she must
lead the younger set of this town.

do it. She will love the whole

And then, of course, just as we
had so carefully planned to assist
our pretty little sister-in-law to the
top of the social ladder, Ann started
to make the ascent alone! She took
her social career in charge with the

they pay as much attention to mark
