The skin is a wonderful organ, do
ing work of immense Importance to
health at all times. But in hot
weather. when its millions of tiny
pores are working 60 cool the skin,
it is more than ever important that
this work of cooling the over heated
body should be able to do its work
well.
If baby is cross and unhappy. it
may be he is suffering from what
is commonly known as fprickly heat"
from the singing sensation that ac-
companies it. The fine red rash
appears first on the chest and back,
and often runs over the cheeks and
arms and other parts of the body.
1t is common in babies who are too
warmly dressed, especially in those
who wear too much and too heavy
underwear. The first remedy is to
remove the surplus clothing. and to
exchange the heavy shirts and bands
with very lightweight ones. The
next thing to do is TO give the baby
a cool or tepid bath to remove the
excess of perspiration.
If the skin is well covered with the
rash bran or a starch or a soda
bath may be tried. These baths have
lately been described in this column.

Little Stories For Bedtime
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
FOURTH ADVENTURE OF
LITTLE MITE
BY THORNTON w. BuE

Little Mite. the smallest and smartest
of the babies of Danny Meadow
Mouse, who had run away to see the
Great World, wished with all his
might that he never had thought of
leaving his dear, safe home. He had
been so sure that he was smart
enough to take care of himself and
now already he had three dreadful
adventures. and the fact that he was
still alive was not because of his
own smartness, but because OF his
good fortune. He had been lucky:
that was all. The Great World
which, as he had peeped out at IL
from the safety OF his home, had
seemed such wonderful place. now
seemed a very dreadful place.
First he had all his breath knocked
out of him by Bossy the Cow. II
was an accident. but he didn't know
this Then he had been caught by
Black Pussy. and had escaped only
because the Merry Little BreeZes had
helped him. He didn't know this,
either. Then Miner the Mole had al
most caught him when he had taken
a nap in Miners underground house.
Now he wondered what would happen
next. He had begun to think that

where for a little meadow mouse. He
wasn't doing any harm to anybody or
anything. and yet it seemed as If the
whole Great World had turned
against him. He sliyered with
fright as he wondered what he should
do next and what would happen to
him next.
The first thing to do is to find a
safe hiding place" thought he, .aud
believe I'll do it at once" This was
the very wisest thing that Little Mite
could possibly do. and it showed that
at last he really had begun to learn.
He was just about to start out to
look for hiding place when he heard
footsteps. He pricked UP his little
ears and listened with all his might.
He wondered if it might be a friend
who would help him. The trouble
was he didn't know who We're
friends and who were enemies. Near
er- and nearer came those footsteps.
Somehow they didn't sound like the
footsteps of a friend, because-well.

Meadow Mouse, had warned him

run, because there was no place to
run to. All he could do was TO sit
perfectly still ana try to hold his

What if Reddy should happen to
turn around and look behind him

CREAM PUFF SHELLS
For Dessert or the Main Course


Cream puff shells are easy to
make and will keep for several days
after baking.
They may be filled with many
kinds of Filings and offer a different
dessert with each filling. Or they
may be used instead of a patty shell
for creamed meat or vegetables.
This rule for puff shells will make
l. medium puffs.
Puff Shells
One cup boiling water, Y cup
butter, / cup flour, eggs.
Put water and butter in per-
fectly smooth sauce pan. Bring to
the boiling point. When bubbling
rapidly add the flour all at once and
stir vigorously over the fire until the
mixture leaves the sides and bottom
of the pan.
The flour should be measured be-
fore sitting. The cooked mixture
should be perfectly smooth and very
stiff Let COOL Add one egg, un-
beaten and beat until the egg is
thoroughly mixed with dough and
the mixture is smooth. Add the
second egg and beat as in the first
instance. Add third egg and beat.
The finished mixture must be thor
oughly incorporated in the mixture
before another egg be added. Drop
from the spoon onto a buttered and
floured baking sheet and bake half
an hour in a moderate oven. Cool
before splitting to fill.

around her now in spite of her re-
sistanee.
For the first time in all her healthy
young life Olive was afraid. Yet even
now she tried to put fear from her, to
think he was simply trying to
frighten her.
Let me go--you're brutal to hold
me like this!" She struck at him. He
only laughed and held her closer. Yet
added to the look in his face that so
frightened her was the glimmer of
another emotion-one of shame. This
look gave her courage.
I'll not let you go-you're mine"
Then desperation lent Olive strength.
She wrenched herself from his arms
and flew to the door. The knob
turned, but the door did not give. She
realized it was locked.

"Let me outi" she cried loudly. as
she dragged helplessly at the door.

GREATEST TRAINER
Of HUMAN MINDS

BY Mrs. Luther Steward, Head <of

Twenty five hundred years ago,
Pythagoras taught in Greece that the

that in which child is saturated in
music from the beginning

tant matter of preparing the ITO be

thoroughly graded harmonic founda-
tion hence. a vast multitude OF stu
dents have had their talents retarded,
or spoiled altogether.

termined a few years ago to give its
students the benefit of all the latest
ideas and methods of teaching. and is
