QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
For a DRY Baby.


| 1. Is it all right to let a chilc
three months old sleep in rubber
diapers.
2. What should be done to pro-
tect a young baby from taking colo
when he gets his crib wet? Mrs. K
NJ. J.
Answer. No. Only absorbent
material Ga cloth generally sold as
diaper CLOTH should be used and
pinned on. not vulcanized.
2. A waterproof draw sheet un-
der the bed sheet protects the bed

breaking out and is little sallow
Mrs. S. e. J.

haps the little fellow needs little
sunshine and a pile of sand to play
in.
Tattoo Marks.
II you have any advice regarding
the removal of tattoo marks from
the skin 1 should be grateful to re-
ceive it. R. A
Answer-Tattooing the skin ex-
cept for the proper purpose of con-
cealing a scar or other blemish,

surgical procedure, and therefore
you should consult surgeon.

Please tell me in what light you
regard candy for school children.
There has been a controversy at
our school-the cafeteria supplied
candy, and some parents objected
on the ground that candy Injuries
the teeth and the general system.
Mrs. A. S.
Answer. The notion that candy
Injuries the teeth is merely a fan
ciful one. Unquestionably many
children indulgein too much candy
for their health. However, l should
favor furnishing pure candy as a
dessert for the child in school, be-
cause sugar is perhaps the most
form Of energy for the

cles) which regular school child
does, or at any rate should use Wig

physical training.

If the city of Duluth should pur-

WHEN MOTHER SLIPPED.

"Oh. | don't know" and Isabel
twin sister Bess shrugged a dainty
shoulder You think there's no
one quite so pretty as Billy Bunts

! Tom, the elder brother, a young
student of 20. stirred uneasily but
soon settled back into his accus-
toned calm, his mind absorbed in
the latest best seller. Father dozed
in his chair, glasses in perilous
juxtap0sition with his nodding chin.
Only mother was awake, alert and
interested, intensely SO at the men

Mother relapSed into a very, very
rigid silence. But in the hours that
followed and next day, her mind was
not at all rigid, it was making a
most unheard of decision, and the
following evening, about potato
peeling time, found her ordering a
we'll chosen, if meagre, repast in a
well-known cafeteria in the heart
of the city.
Mother had come to town on
perfectly legitimate errand, had
stormed the counter where small
boys corduroy trousers at a bar
gain were being sold and had ar
rived at the entrance to the sub
way before the real, irresistible
temptation had won her to its way.
Yes, she vowed, she would find out
for herself what it was that the
girls liked in these moving pic

ON WALL STREET

New York, Aug. 22.-Profit taking
combined with less encouraging over
night development in the rail strike
situation impaired an irregular trend
to the opening prices on the New

the popular shares which rose to
new high levels yesterday opened at
concessions today. Domestic oils and
low priced rails went to higher ground
with chemcails, equipments and some
