WHAT MOTHERS
 SHOULD KNOW
By DIR, CHARLOTTE 0. WEST Beware Of Sore ThOrats.

Some mothers "coddle" their chil- den too much, and for that reason make them hothouse plants. Every change in temperature or exposure to bad weather brings on a cold"
 While this Is extremely poor policy, equally bad Judgment Is sometimes shown in an attempt to tougher or harden a child by clothing it scantily and allowing to run loose, as 1t were.
 Simple sore thraot can be treated at home successfully with the cold water cure, which Is much in vogue at present. It is an old treatment re- vived. At cold compress Is applied to the neck and a strip or flannel is bound over 1t. The compress (made of an old soft handkerchief) Is fre- quently changed so that the cold water Is kept in constant contact with the neck. Cool draughts of water are given internally. This treatment Is also gool for hoarse voice.
 A hoarse voice may be the fore runner of grave trouble, and should never be neglected. The soreness Is in the vocal cords, to which sprays, gargles and the like cannot be ap- piled.
 nIhalations of medicated vapor are often extremely beneficial in cases of hoarseness. To pint of boiling water, add a tablespoonful each of all of eucalyptus, oil of turpentine and tincture of benzoln A heavy towel should be thrown over the head and the kettle containing the medicated water, so that the vapor will be in- shaled and will not escape. This re- peated every three or four hours will be found very satisfactory if the trouble is due to simple cold,
 A good old fashioned throat gargle consists of: Tincture iron. 2 dhams: chlorate of potash, 1 dram; bromide of potassium, drams; %yc- crime, drams, and enough disalled water to make four ounces. A des- sertpoonsful of this in a wine glass of water as a gargle every three or four hours. Children may swallow 1t with6ut harm.
 It should not be forgotten that most of the infectious diseases are ushered in with symptoms of a cold and sore throat, and if the condition does not yield to the treatment suggested above other measures must be re- sorted to, or physician must be called in.
 Then too, a very mild attack of sore throat in one child may give rise to a severe sickness in another child. because the germs of various throat diseases are always on hand. Children who exhibit throat symptoms should also be isolated and other members of the family should use mouth washes and gargles to avoid the pos sibility of infection.
 One of the best gargles Git can also be used in an atomizer) consists of hydrogen peroxide diluted one-half with lime water; this is antiseptic and mildly astringent.
 A physician recently writing on the subject, said he had never known a serious case to break out in house. hold where these precautions were followed.
