If you did what he told you to do,
he would keep on finding other I'M

If you thrashed him, you could do

Preternatural Strength and

Besides the priests, the Norsemen
had their soothsayers, and they also
believed that. by the power OF the
runes, the dead could be made to
speak The runes Of the men were
called calder" and another kind Of
magic practiced by women was called
"seid."
1t was thought that these wise wom-

allaying storms and Of hardening the
body so that the sword could not cut
It, Some Of their charms were sup
posed to give preternatural strength
others the power of crossing the sea
without the aid of ship, Of creating
and destroying love, of assuming diff
ferent forms, Of becoming invisible, Of
giving the "evil eye"
Both men and women thus super
naturally endowed, 1t was believed,
could charm garments so as to protect
the wearer from injury. They could

The Importar re OF Weight

The very first thi > the nurse does
after the baby arrives in the world
is to put him on the scales. It is q
matter of much rejoicing when he
tips the scales at eight or nine
poinds, the big baby having a better
chance in the race than the smaller
one. Babies under six pounds in
weight need almost the care at first
as the premature child, and every
ounce he gains is in his favor.
The first week the baby loses in
weight, which is natural. The meco-
mum is passed from the bowels, and
in addition his hours of fasting cause
him to drop back. At the eleventh
day he should weigh what he did at
birth if everything is going well.
From then on there should be a
continuous upward rise, from four to
six nee being the usual gain. Less
than four ounces shows definitely
that the baby's diet should be in
creased by supplementary feelings
or some change made in the moth
er's routine SO that her breast milk
becomes more easily taken care of.
A baby may fail to cain because he
Is getting so much to eat that he
cannot begin to digest it, and indi-
gestion will bring down his weight
as rapidly as starvation. A very rapid
gain at first and then a cessation, or
a drop, may indicate this very thing.
It is absolutely necessary in order
to keep accurate account of the
baby's welfare to weigh him each
week. The weighing should take
place at the same time, the same
day, and with the same clothes, or
lack of them. The baby's small bath
tub may be placed on the scales and
lined with a diaper, the whole being

DANGER OF III REINS

Do you know that if you put a coin between your two
fingers and hold it just as tight as you possibly can, that it
will only be a very few minutes before your fingers will au-
Dramatically relax and you will surely drop it. Try it, and
prove for yourself that that is an actual fact.
Whether it be a coin or an affection the surest way to
lose anything is to hold it too tightly. Too much pressure,
too much tenseness and anything will crack and snap.
In the plant world we are told that young plants should
always be placed as far away as possible from the parent plant.
In this way they get more air and light and can grow better.
Do not the parents who attempt to hold their children
too tight, by attempting to guard and govern their likes and
dislkes, to dictate as to their every act, not only stunt the
growth and personality of their children, but inevitably lose
the respect and affection Of those children.
Is there any surer way for a wife to lose her husbands
affection than by interfering with his freedom. The wife who
boasts that her husband never goes anywhere without her,
that she knows his every thought, and is acquainted with all
his friends had better watch her step. Some day that very
husband is going to balk and run away from reins that are
held too tight.
Love that binds killeth itself. Love that frees multiplies
itself.

weighed. Then put on his honor with
no clothes and his weight viii be the
whole, minus the weight OF the tub
and diaper. Remember wet diapers
weigh more than dry ones.
The baby who is doing well will
double his birth weight in from five
to six months. At the end of the
year he will weigh three times bis
birth weight. So that in spite of the
fact that your neighbours child may
weigh pounds more than yours, the
important thing is whether your
baby is gaining what he should in
comparison to his birth weight.
A loss of a few pounds is Of negii-
gible importance to the adult, but a
two-pound or even one pound loss is
vital to the baby. 1t is thing to
worry over each weeks gain until
your worry reflects itself in the
baby's health, and another to disre-
gard it gayly with the comforting
thought that none of your family Is
fat. A stationary weight one week
may mean very little, but If it con-
tinues much longer it is a matter for
concern.
