FACTS REGARDING THE
 CARE OF THE BABY
By .. s. Public Health Service.
Sleep, Play, and Rest.

The child's body develops faster dur ing the first year of his life than at any other period For that reason baby needs. large allowance of sleep, with the best sleeping accommodations, so that the hours Of sleep may be of the greatest value to him.
 Baby should sleep alone. Babies may be smothered to death while in bed with an older person, some part of whose body may be thrown over baby's face while asleep. The young baby should sleep eighteen or twenty hours out of the twenty-four. He should have sixteen hours sleep daily from a montl to tue age of one year. From the first to the second year, he should sleep twelve hours. A baby should have the longest period of unbroken sleep at night and should not be permitted to tur night | into day.
 l Daytime: The daytime maps should be continued through the sixth year. ] he l baby should never take nap in all his clothes The shoes of older children es- peeially should be removed In hot wea- ther remove all but the shirt and dia- per from the baby.
 | The sleeping room should be darkened and well ventilated. The baby should way put in his crib and let alone to go to slepe. He should never be rocked to sleep nor jolted nor jounced | Out-of-Doors: Out-of-door sleeping in summer, both by day and by night is good for the baby after he is month old. He must be protected from flies mosquitoes, shielded from the-Kind and sun. and covered if there is sudden drop in temperature. The sleeping porch must be protected properly by canvas curtains and in cold weather hot wa | ter bottle should be placed in baby's bed
 The baby must have an abundant sup ply of fresh air day and night. He should l be kept out of doors as much as possi- ble, avoiding the hot sun and days when | the thermometer drops below 22 degrees Fl because of the danger of the face be- l ing fFostbitten. In the summer tine,- a newborn baby may be taken out of doors the first week. Begin with a daily out ing of fifteen minutes about no)n and gradually lengthen the time in tLe fore noon and afternoon until the baby is out from ten o'clock until two o'clock. He must be clothed properly according to the weather and his eyes protected from the sun. At all ages, the baby carriage must be one in which the child can lie comfortably at full length and stretch his arms and legs. When sitting up his little spine and feet must be support ed properly
 l Playing: A young baby needs rest an6 quiet. However strong he may be, toe much playing is bad, as it is likely to re suit in a restless night.
 Rocking the baby, jumping him up and down on the knees, tossing him. in con staHt motion is very bad for him. These things disturb babys nerves and make him more and more dependent upor these attentions. When the young bab! is awake, he should be taken up fire quently and held quietly in the arm! in various positions, so that no one se of muscles may become tired. An oldel child should be taught to sit on the f1ool or in his pen or crib and amuse himself during a part of his waking hours.

PROGRESS OF POSSIBILITIES IN
 CHINA AND MANCHURIA

Tientsin, China, July 24 (By the A. P.). -Unconfrmed reports from Feng-Tai sttae that fighting on the Peking- -Hankow line has ceased and that Yuan Chi-Jui, the army commander, has resigned. The reports tstate Yuan petitioned the presi- dent to relieve him of command of the frontier defense forces converted by him into preservation of the national army on the ground tkat the army has failed to carry on successful ca mpaign, and ask ed that the army be dissolved. The pres ident declined to accept, according to the reports.
 The British Admiral Duff left here this afternoon for Taku, where he will remain for two days. An International military train carrying one hundred Japanese to reinforce the legation guard also left here this afternoon for Picking. The train, ac- cording to latest information, passed YaHg-Tsun but has not yet reached Feng- Tai.
 An airplane from Peking bombed Man churian troops encamped at Pei-Tsiang this morning with unexpected results. The troops, never having seen an airplane be- fore, were greatly interested and there was no panic.
 It is reported Teh-Chow arsenal has been captured by Anfu troops from Tsi- nan-Fu.

VENTILATION.

Through persistent education the why and wherefore of this great health neces- sity has been explained; still to the many air is air, and that is all there is to it.
 Ventilation does not simply mean "open wide the windows" but is should be done scientifically, especially in a sick room. To properly ventilate, the air must be kept in motion. The entrance opening for fresh air should be larger than the one for exit. If these opening are directly opposite, the motion will take place without doing the room any good. If there are two windows in the room, one should be opened from the top and the other from the bottom. For the gen. era1 daytime room the temperature should be 68 degrees and at night 65. A bathroom should be kept at 70. For the sick room of pneumonia patients and sev- eral other diseases, of course, the tenn perature should be kept as low as pos sible without having the patient in a draught.

FULL FLAVOR OF TEA.

People who are really particular about their tea, who wish to get all the flavor and all the delicacy of the tea out of it, will never use a metal teapot, no matter how handsome may be the silver. The Chinese who certainly should know about it. always say that they can detect by the taste whether tea has been made in either metal or china. Consequently in many households we see china teapots on the table, while the silver remains on the sideboard. These china teapots, how ever, have their drawbacks and one is the ease with which the spouts become nicked or broken by careless handling It seems as if even the Chinaman must approve of enamel ware as substance for a teapot. Its surface is like fine porcelain and no metal taste could pos sibly get through it. Try this happy compromise Be sure the water is boil ing. Don't let it stand more than three minutes

 Miss Mabel Stinson of Winchester, Mass. is the first woman town clerk in New England. To make her eligible to the position it was necessary for the Massachusetts legislature to pass 8 spe- cial law.
 Dr. Retta Clifford Kilborn of Toron- to, widow of a well known missionary worker who died recently while home on furlough from China, has volunteered to fill the place of her husband in the mis- sion field.
 When Russian girl departs from her home for the altar her parents leave the door of their house open as a sign that their daughter may return to the paren- tai roof if ever the need should arise.

DECORATIVE MIRROR.

You cannots everestimate the possibili- ties of mirrors in house decorations. They reflect back unexpected bits of color, and they actually make a dark interior light CT.
 Mirrors are more fascinating than pie lures, and they are usually more decora- tive. Place a mirror over a table, and on the table set a vase holding spray of blossoms, so that the vase and spray are reflected in the mirror.
 If sufficient mirrors are used they make the smallest room seem larger. In fact, if they are so arranged that the whole room is reflected, the room may even seem large. When mirrors reflect in opposite mirrors the light is richly given back again, and windows, as me diums of light, are multiplied in the room. One simple way of placing large mirror is between two windows and reaching to the floor.

LIFTING THE LOAD.

This seems to be the day for strikes. Every one has struck apparently, except mother and the housewife. Let us see that the good mothers and the unselfish homemakers, who do so much to make life comfortable for us all, shall not suf- fer as consequence of their good be- havier, We have grown so accustomed to yielding to demands that we are in danger of ignoring those who do not issue ultimatums. There does not seem to be any practical way of shortening the hours of our busy home workoNs, but we can see that their tasks are made as easy as possible. One way of accomplishing this is to make sure that they are pro- vided with proper cooking utensils-the utensils that not only are of convenient size. shape and weight, but are also so easily cleaned that the cleaning up pro- cess is robbed of it's terrors.

The correct motor bonnet of today is likely to be made of silk or knitted wool or other suitable ma terial and often it is combined with straw. These hats come in wide range of colors, among the more delicate tints being white, rose or jade. Frequently these chic head coverings are worn with gowns of voile and colored cottons, made on simple lines Over these frocks, of course, coats Or wraps, loose and all covering, are worn.
