LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT.

7 FHNy6u lie still, dear you'll be an
right. Don't move, Just try to rest"
The fluttery woman bent over her
tall son who was sick in bed and made
dabs at his forehead with a scrap of
lace and linen.
His forehead was perfectly dry. So
was his tongue. And his head, aehed,
and he wanted drink, and he. wished
with all his heart that his mother
would stop fussing over him. 81
How can l lie still when 1 ache all
over and the bed feels like it was full
of pebbles, and my mouth is so hot
and dry l could scratch a match in it,
and my legs twitch, and that door
squeaking drives me mad-absOlutely
crazy"
The boy threw his arms about as
he spoke and gave a lunge under the
bcdclothes.
His mother sat down tearfully in a
chair and twisted the scrap Of lace and
linen.
Then the doctor came in, followed
by timid-looking little woman in
black.
1--WE brought Aunt Mary Clark"
he said Cheerfully. There isn't an
other nurse lin town, but Aunt Mary
is regular Florence Nightingale.
Tom is certainly in luck TO have her
to look after him."
Toms mothers stiff little nod in
dicated that she was slightly scorn-
full of the shabby little old lady. She
rustled out of the room in her pale
silk negligee and her silver .boudOir slip
pers, with her handkerchief pressed TO
her eyes.
She hated sick rooms and it was al
most tragic TO feel that a shabby lit
tie persons like this Aunt Mary could
come into one and do something while
she. with a mothers claim upon the
sick lad, could no nothing. So she
went TO her bOudoir and wept for an
hour.
Meantime, Aunt Mary began pick.
ing up papers, books, string and
crumpled paper FROM drug store
packages. She hung up the boys
clothes which lay on chair where
he had thrown them. She Strengthened
the window shades and carried empty
glasses from the room. There were
dead flowers in vase and dust
lay whitley on the beautiful rosewood
furniture.
Can you stop the squeak in that
door? asked Tom suddenly. peering at
her hopefully from under the blankets.
Aunt Mary trotted TO the bathroom
and returned with a cake of soap.
She applied this to the hinges of the
door and the groaning stopped instantly.
She smiled at Tom. Tom smiled at
her.
Gee, he said. Il feel better al
ready. wish you had been here last
night.
What makes this bed so hard and
uncomfortable? he asked, in n mo-
ment, assuming that she knew every-f
thing.
Il think you have too many covers
on top and not enough beneath"
Aunt Mary said. pattering TO and

Cleaning Fountains

The best way to clean drinking foun-
tains, which cannot be reached on the
inside Is to use scalding hot water and
big handful Of shot. Fill the foun-
tain about quarter fill of hot water
and then pour in the shot. Shake the
vessel briskly so that the shot will
scrape along the bottom and sides OF
the fountain. This will remove the
scum and leave the fountain sweet
and clean.

summer to keep out the sun, and thus
keep the house much cooler. But it is
not advisable to have these awnings up

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used if to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull. faded or streaked ap- pearance. this simple mixture was applied, with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home Is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the ad- oition of other ingredients, which can be depended upon 10 restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says 1t darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied.

By morning the gray hair disappears. and after another application or two, 1t becomes beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv.

Blisters of the mouth is rot un- common condition met with in ca tarrhal inflammation of the mucous membrane. Minute spots tcankersJ may also appear in such numbers al times as to coalesce trun together1 and give the appearance of a false membrane. These spots may break down and so form superficial ulcers.
 Rough treatment in cleansing the mouth is also sufficient cause to ere ate break in the tender mucous membrane. The trouble has been noted in babies fed upon the milk of cows suffering from foot and mouth disease. One authority states that ulcerate1 spots are most common in the mouths of babies between the tenth and thirteenth months of life.
 It would seem from this that teeth ing has something to do with the con- ditfon and then it often extends into the throat and is associated with acute stomach trouble. In children, furthermore, these are influences that effect iniuriously the nerve centers,

 Now, in little children the usual site of the initial ulcer is around the lower incesors. Chlorate of potash has proven the best remedy in ul- cerated gums, but should not be given in herpes tblisters). Also the great est caution must be observed in giv- ing this drug to infants upon whom 1t may act as poison. A physician should first be consulted.
 If the baby is constipated-as very frequently appens-laxative treat ment must be enforced. Milk of mag nesia is an excellent remedy for this purpose. The child's diet may also be reconstructed. Many children at the teething age are being given solid food which should be withdrawn ab- solutely. In bottle fed babies the source of milk supply should be changed also. It may even be advis- | able to change the character of the
