HELPS FOR MOTHERS

It is unwise to humor a baby when it cries, but the crying of ar infant should not be unheeded. This is the child's only means for making known it's wants. A little experience will soon teach the mother to decide whether her baby is really in distress or whether, the tears are simply an appeal for betting. If it is the latter, the child should be left to "cry it out"
 A patient and persistent mother will soon teach child that crying is of no avail and it will be a valuable lesson. Self-control is desirable as set in any human life. and it is well to accumulate this in infancy. The mother need have no fear that the crying will result in physical dis aster to the child. Physicians will tell you that 15 minutes of lusty cry ing is just the kind of exercise baby requires every day for the proper de- velopment of the lungs. But before you undergo thees torments (for such they are to the average mother), be sure your child is warm, dry, not hun gry, or thirsty and is comfortably dressed.
 Sometimes the band is too tightly drawn or the clothing becomes rum pied and is causing discomfort. Often only a change in position will give re- lief. If all these matters are prop erly adjusted and the baby is not ill, just let the tears flow and comfort your own perturbed feelings by the thought that "a few showers are needed for every growing thing"
 The discerning mother will recoS- nize the cry of her infant which is really a signal for help. unless it has become one of habit. A regularly and properly fed infant will not cry from hunger. A short, sharp cry. but not continuous. may indicate collie: a sud- den scream will follow a fright; q moaning and fretful cry means ill., ness and requires medical attention, and so on, every cry-for they all are different each has a meaning of it's own, and it is the mothers task to understand and administer the proper cure for each one.
 As children advance in age a mother should at no time allow them to cry for anything they desire. Such outbursts of wilfulness should be treated with punishment to avoid very pernicious habit.

Leon W. Friedman Weeds Mrs. Margaret
 Todd At Temple

A myriad of folk throughout Ala bama and the South-as well IS the members of the newspaper fraternity In many cities-will find interest in the fact that Leon W. Friedman, dean of newspaper men of Birmingham, married yesterday.
 The event came as surprise, the first news of the happy affair being announced by My Mir. Friedman to his associates at The Birmingham News a short while before the cere- mony was performed in the study at Temple Emanu- -El.
 Mir. Friedman chose for his bride Mrs. Margaret Todd, well-knoWn business woman of Birmingham, and a Texan.
 Mrs. Friedman has made her home in the Magic City for the past seven years, and possesses a great many friends here. She is a capable, clev- CT woman, and MT. Friedman con fided that, if his judgment counted for anything, he thought she was also pretty.
 The social chronicler has always been able to believe Breeds" word So she knows that's so.
 Mrs Friedman is tall and a decided brunette.
 Serving as maid of honor was Miss Violet Jones, while MT. William Leighton of The News was Mir Freidman's best man.
 pr. Morris Newfield performed the ceremony.
 MT Friedman has always been known as one of the worlds greatest and most inveterate work CTS in newspaper way-and so no one was surprised when he departed back to his office following the nup- tals and was hard at 1t" over his typewriter when The Age Herald so- ciety department called.
 He announced that the wedding trip would be made in the fall; that he and Mrs. Friedman are al home in the Myree apartments, and that he had always thought before yesterday that murder stories were the most exciting things in the world. But now he knew that passing through marriage ceremony was the biggest story that ever could be written. There were so many chances for you to drop the ring or fall over bench or something -o or the bride decide she wouldn't have you at the last minute. Land, it was whale of an experience.

WHAT MOTHERS
 SHOULD KNOW
By DIR. CHARLOTTE c. WEST
 Fever In Children

In the case of levers, nothing is so important as careful nursing. Fever that is, rise in temperature-is not a disease, but merely a symptom of some disease, usually of infectious origin (meaning that it is caused by a particular form of mircobe); never theless there are conditions in chill dren of continued fever in which there appears no infection and to which little heed is usually given because the child may not be so not express its feelings; an older child may be about and complain of not feeling we'll and may have a feverish look (bright eyes, furred tongue, flushed face, etc). In all such cases the same care should be used as in those more marked con- ditions which usher In the pro- nounced diseases.
 The child should be given a warm bath, put into clean clothing and placed in clean, well ventilated room by himself A mild laxative such as calomel and soda, or milk of magnesia, should be given (this should always be the first thing done in any easel. Cooling drinks of lemonade or ten to thirty drops of sweet spirits of ntre in cold water will relieve thirst, while sponging the body with cold water will lower the fever and induce sleep.
 In sponging the body 1t is best to place blanket under the child and to use water at the ordinary spigot temperature first. Begin by spong- ing the face and neck, then lay a cloth dipped In cold water on the brow; keep the body covered while sponging one part, say an arm, cover 1t while doing the other and so on; an extra and wise precaution. es- pecially in case of very sick child. is to place screen beside the bed so as to avoid draughts.
 This simple but careful nursing will perhaps be all that is necessary to restore the child to his usual health. The rectal temperatures should be taken morning and eve ming with a clinical thermometer and the child kept isolated, as long as the temperature is above normal, which is 9S.6 F.
 Do not forget the patient and his surroundings must be kept schu- pulously clean, the temperature of the room kept down 70 degrees and the air frequently changed.
 To busy mothers these precautions may appear needless in child who is only a little feverish" and "out of sorts," but just stitch in time saves nine" on the wear and tear of a garment, so that proper hygienic care and rest of the little body that has undoubtedly gone beyond it's strength is precisely what Is required to guard it against more serious trouble; while. on the other hand. II the symptoms are the forerunners of some infectious disease such as measles. diphtheria, scarlet fever, etc.. our little patient is already isolated in strictly sanitary sur> roundings and stands a better chance of having mild attack, while the rest of the household has been pros tected against infection.

Jack Mccormack, John Wright, Charities Roland, while Tom Crawford and Gordon Abele portray the orphan children.
