over by it during the war, paying
them hundreds Of millions Of dollars.
It also readjusted the compensation
of war contractors. The War De
partment alone paid those war con
traitors the sum of sA97 000,0 900
The soldiers, Of course, could not make
war wages or war profits during theil
service, and civilians left behind made
the largest profits and largest wages
in their history
"Under these circumstances it mnst
be manifest to all fair-minded per
sons that the soldiers have an equit-
able claim for readiustment of then
war compensation.
Therefore considering the ques-
tion as matter Of fairness and JUS
tice, / have long believed and still be-
lieye that the ex-service men are en-.
titled to a readiustment of their COM
pensation, and that the practical and
economical way in which they may be
paid such additional compensation is
bv giving to them portion of the
bonds that are now due US from for
eign nations. If a provision was
placed in the adjusted compensation
bill now before the Congress provid-
ing an amount not exceeding $780,
100000 Of these bonds should be
transferred to the soldiers in lieu of
the cash provisions Of such bill, we
could give the soldiers what is justly
due them and at the same time not
place additional tax burdens upon the
people now suffering SO greatly from
overtaxation.

early part of the night that it may
be best to keep the baby u doors
in the evening until the rooms have
cooled somewhat or put him to sleep
in the porch. if here he can be pro-
tected from mosquitoes.
The main thing is TO see that IN
the course OF the twenty-four hours
the baby has the necessary number
of hours OF sleep. even if the usual
schedule has to be somewhat dis
turbed.
A bath IN tepid water just before
going to bed will help cool the skin
and make the baby fall asleep more
readily. No soap should be used,
and the flesh should be patted gently
to dry it, not rubbed. A little pow
der may be sifted into the folds of
the skin around the neck, but too
much powder only makes the irrita-
ton worse.
If the baby wakens because he Is
hot and uncomfortable, a fresh
nightgown and a drink of water will
usually be all that is needed to send
him quietly to sleep again. Outdoor
sleeping porches are a boon to the
mother Of a young family.
Screened and protected. they VIII
afford the baby the opportunity 10
sound refreshing sleep. even in the
4ottest weather. for at least some
portion of the day n night.

Next to the problem of feeding
the question of how to make the
baby comfortable while he sleeps
is the most puzzling of all hot
weather problems in the daily care
of the baby.
The coolest place in the house
should be found for the daytime
maps. This will usually be some
where on the first floor, rather than
in an upstairs bedroom. Quite often
in the worst weather a pallet on the
floor of the living oom will afford
more comfort than any bed, but this
selection of the best place for the
baby to sleep is one of those matters
in which the judgment OF the moth
err must be exercised.
The baby should be completely un
dressed when he takes his nap. 4
very thin cotton gown open at the
neck ond short sleeved, is perhaps
the best garment to wear. at least
for the older baby. A tiny baby can
usually be made comfortable in crib
or carriage, and if he maps in his
carriage it can easily be moved
about in search of the coolest spot

Such an inhrmity comes when

Violent muscular efforts. such Us

In most such cases, however, the

When the returning blood clogs
up the heart. its tendency is to eX-
