I'll about two weeks ago have
not had any trouble with him, but
now he Is SO restless and does not
sleep as much as he should. His
gums seem to be troubling him and
/ believe he is teethink. His bowels,
too. are not right.
A. While 1t is not at all uncom-
mon for the FIRST teeth to appear
In the fourth month, thee majority
OF children do not begin teething
until about the sixth or seventh
month, and some begin much later.
Residences and disturbed sleep
In infancy are most frequently due
to hunger or to Indigestion from
improper feeding or overfeeding.
Feed him regularly every three
hours, and do not let him nurse
longer than fifteen or twenty min
utes.

@. Ny 14-month-old baby loses
her breath and we can't do any
from the habit She sucks both
Of her thumbs and fore fingers.
A. The holding breath spells you
describe are due to an extreme ir-
ritability of the nervous system. 1t
Is very common In winter and early
spring.
Nervous children OF this type
should be kept free from excite
ment, given plenty OF sleep and
fresh air, and fed very carefully.
Weight.
Q, Ny little girl. ga months,
weighed 5% pounds at birth. What
should she weigh now?
A. The average girl baby weighs
a little more than 19 pounds at
months OF age. but since your baby
was smaller than the average al
birth, she may require a little more
time to reach this standard.

Misplaced Humsr.
Leonard Gray, who limpS when
he walks, had to go to the dentist.
When he came out of the torture
chamber he was a very nervous
man and consequently in no mood
to appreciate a Joke.
Thomas Huddleson. whom he knew
but slightly, greeted him on the
street. Gray acknowledged the
greeting with his hand to his jaw.
Ho' has more nerb den All has,

TED. Pears to me de dentist has

Gray was offended at the remark.
He thought Huddleson was making
fun OF his bad leg anu stopped
minute to think about what he
would do to the man.
After a bit Gray raised his cane
and brought it down on Huddle-
sons head. MASKING his new derby.
In court Huddleson stated he
never really noticed that Gray was
cripple and was thinking OF some
thing else entirely when he made
the remark.
The court told Gray that the next
time he lost his temper his pock
etbook would be crippled by a fine.
He was released on his personal

Next he struck her on the jaw
and then bit her on the shoulder

This all happened because she re-

said.
Harry said II was all a put-up

of playing a trick on him.
She denied this. Judge Hardison

The Dance of Death.

The Dance of Death.
For the love OF Pete, how can
you stand it. man? why don't You
move?''
The speaker was Harvey Hunt,
who with his friend. Charles Evan,
had stopped in at the latter's apart
ment for a bit Of "old-time refresh
ment" after the opera. Loud and
toneful, but completely without
melody or harmony, came a heavy,
methodical banging Of a piano in
the adjoining apartment
"oh.she doesn't do it all the time,
Harv." said Evan, "or I have to
move. Really, the fellows a good
bit Of a musician. often plays
beautifully. It's only occasionally
he gets on this strain. Eccentricity
of genius. 1 guess. Sounds crazy,
doesn't it? You'd think he was
actually trying to annoy somebody
in the basement tho way he
pounds"
For a while the two men listened
with irritation. The notes came
totally without any musical relation
to one another. They came in
groups, mostly of four or five, with
pauses in between.
Finally Evans grunted as if to
dismiss the puzzle from his atten-
tion, but a glance at his friend
caused him to pause, his remark
unuttered.
I'm taking down the melody Of
this masterpiece" Hunt said quickly,
as he began writing in his notebook.
Fortunately he's playing 1t over
again"
There, what do you make of ity'
he asked, when the noise ceased.
The letters denote the notes, OF
course. and the figures the octaves
in which they belong. The name of
the piece. I rather imagine, is The
Dance of Death"
Trying to reconcile the serious
CLINT in Hunts glance with the ap-
parent nonsense he was utterinE.
Evan took the extended notebook,
and this was what he read:
"B3-el-f3-d3-h-f b4-b2-e2-e2 e3-

Il cant make anything of it," ad-
mitted Evan. TT looks just as crazy
as 1t sounded. What's your own
ldea?"
But Harvey Hunt had leaped to
the telephone and already was talk
ing to the detective sergeant in
charge Of the bomb squad"

Deductions ofHarveyHunt
By Philip Francis Nowlan.

'In Lions Clothing" offered
Harvey Hunt As stin n case to
solve a. any in his career. De-
tectiyes said c. WnIIack Jones,
qsiet parsonage with a Van
Dyke, was slated for death but
reached his assassin first. At
any rate a body was found.
Harvey Hunt deduced just the
opposite. Detectives were in
credible but Hunt, super-detec-
tive, proved his case. He tells
how as follows;

also found a bit Of fluffy, dried soap
lather on the carpet.
The conclusion was obvious that
the murdered man had been shaved
as he lay on the floor Walker was
described as a blond without a
beard. There would have been nc
reason for Jones's shaving him as
he lay dead on the floor.
But If it was Walker who had
killed Jones. and who desired to i'm
personate his victim on leaving the
house and thus throw the police of
the track. the motive for shaving
the murdered man would have been

For Walker TO have impersonated
Jones, however. would have re-

while not recommending adoption
, Of the service at-Cost plan of op-
Grating and determining fares, the
committee does not specifically out
line adoption Of this plan, but does
suggest it in cities where agree
ments are effective between city and
company for automatic adjustments
of revenue to expenses, as in Cleve-
land.
This plan is based on the propo-
sition that users OF service should
pay only the actual cost of provid-
ing such service.
A rate OF fare is fixed to insure
operation and a fair return. plus
a moderate surplus to go into a
reserve fund. When the reserve
reaches a stated maximum the fare
is automatically reduced To meet

Another important recommended
tion OF the committee was to the
effect that a traction company should

dens unrelated to the performance
of service rendered the public
should be discarded" the committee
urges.
Recommendation is also made, and
has been favorably voted upon by
the member bodies. that a company
rendering service efficiently should
not be subjected to competition from
other sources not under correspond
ing regulations and obligations. It
says: The committee recommends
that careful provision be made to
prevent disastrous consequences Of

Vivid Imagination
of Young Runaway

Some people have vivid magma
ton and it is safe to say that Charlie
Booth of New York, in real life. John
H. Potter, Jr., of New York, is espe-
cially gifted in that line. Anyway
Charlie" made lot of acquaintance
in town during his stay here and CIV
eryone was filled with sympathy for
the little fellow. And as for Char
lie" it was a change for him anyway
from Good Will Farm, from which
place he ran away after staying
there for about eight or ten days.
The police department began to get
worried when they received no an
swers to the kilograms to the poung-
ster's people and telephone CONVEX
sations with the police that would
serve to identify the boy. but after
Thursdays papers came out with the
story OF Charities presence, Rev.
George W. Hincklcy telephoned to the
police here saying that the boy be-
Ionged at Good Will Farm and some
one would come after him, which was
done.
A telegram was also received from
New York Thursday morning by
Harry Spencer from John Herbert
Potter, who said that the boy was
probably his son and to send him
back to school. Mr.. Spencer took u
fancy to the boy and telegraphed
Wednesday afternoon to John II. Pot =
ter, whom the boy had said was his
sisters husband and received the
above answer. On the receipt of the
, telegram, Charlie confessed and
said that he came from Good Will,
but that he wanted to get back and
see his mama.
1t later was found that the plans
to carry Charlie" back to Good
Will Thursday afternoon did not ma
terialize. for the good and sufficient
! reason that Charlie disappeared in
the airly afternoon. The little fell
low had been invited to dinner with
Charles Edward Harmon and was al
! lowed to accept the invitation. After
dinner the two boys were playing
around when Charlie" asked Char
les Edward to try his wheel. The
latter said, Don't be gone long as
I want to use it, So "Charlie' rode
away and failed to come book. He
was found later in Augusta and
brought back, wheel and all and will
return to Good Will today. Mr.,
Harmon said that he should make no
complaint, he only asked that the
| wheel be brought back
