HELPS FOR MOTHER

A prominent physician suggests that mothers placard their babies with the request, Please do not feed this child" This remark may cause a smile, but it is serious matter in the life of child.
 The little toddler walks to the next door por1h end the motherly neigh bor rushes out with cookie. or course, the baby knows no better. so the cookie is eaten. The kind lady in the park gives two-year-o Betty a chocolate bon-bon. Mother dislikes to make a scene, so the child Is al- lowed to eat 1t.
 Sonny calls for his playmate and the hospitable mother treats him to a banana. Sonny considers 1t treat, because mother always insists upon slicing bananas, so he bolts tho fruit.
 Fathers friend Bob meets his little namesake on the block and hands him a coin, with the injunction to run along and get cone" which the lad promptly does. Heedless aunties give "a party" to the delighted kid-' dies Which means cake and chocolate about D. m,, with the result that there is no appetite for the regular evening meal. How many Erandmoth- starvation methods now employed with children" surreptitiously hand out food between meals to children?
 Many incidents like these are be- yond the control of the mother, but she can avoid g repetition.
 The mother should be firm with her friends in this matter. The usual, "Oh, 1t won't hurt the child for once." should always be over-ruled even at the cost of the friends displeasure. There will be no trouble with the child, because 1t Is accustomed to the stand mother always takes.
 One wise mother avoids unpleasant scenes by providing her child with toy or some unusual amusement while she partakes of refreshments with her friends. She is firm in the determine ton that her child shall not eat be- tween meals and all her friends re-

CHAPTER 1SI
 Winifred remembered. And she had heard Paine use that very ex- pression-"clean up hundreds" She sat as if turned to stone, her eyes fixed on her caller.
 For some months before that, Dil- lon tells me-" Paine continued. Ran kin had been playing in rotten luck. In fact, he was so poor that he took a position as clerk somewhere. Then, as often happens when things are at their worst, his luck changed. He got hold of some money, staKeo it and won. Then he came into legacy-at least he told Dillon so. He has been cutting a wide swath with that. But-he has lost lot of 1t already"
 'Lostw the girl repeated in tone hardly above a whisper.
 Sure! Lost or spent 1t in one way and another. He has squandered a lot of it on suppers and such things for a fast set with whom he runs when he Is flush. That kind of thing costs money these days-when one gets champagne and other liquor through high-priced bootlegger. And Rankin seems to have lost his head, too, especially when playing. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.
 T do not know how much money he had-but at this rate he won't have any left by the end of a year or two. I understand, however, that he has some securities that are pretty good. He boasts of holding the mort gage on some valuable property over in Jersey. But Dillon thinks that's a bluff"
 He stopped suddenly. Perhaps the startled fRce in front of him moved him to B tardy pity. Yet surely this girl could not really care for Ran kin. If she did, it was well that she should know something about him before 1t was too late.
 You'll consider me an old gossip" Paine laughed, changing his tone. T am really sorry for Rankin, though you may not think it. For he has not the brains to plunge as he does and get away with 1t. Yet even so, would not have spilled all this stuff to you if you had not seemed so mortified at my proposal to bring my friend Dillon here. You did jump down my throat pretty hard-really now, didn't you?"
 Perhaps did" she said slowly. T did not understand. You sec with a nervous giggle-"I really am very ignorant about such things. l have known hardly any men except my father and MT. Muir and MT. Ran kin"
 And you turned me down for him at Hopatcongv Paine leased. Well, I forgive you, even if still bear him a grudge for doing me out of dance and a Jolly time with you."

Home Face Feeling
 Becomes Popular

No complexion treatment yet discov- cred seems to have become so generally popular as the mercolized wax process. Evidently the reason is that this method actually gets rid of a bad complexion. which can hardly be said of any other. To temporarily hide or bleach the de- fectivs skin with cosmetics cannot com pare with the effect of literally remov- ing the skin itself. Mercolized wax takes off the offending surface skin in flour like particles, little at a time, until there's none of 1t left. The new com plexion thus produced exhibits a healthy glow and girlish beauty obtainable in no other way. This wax, which you can get at your druggists Gan ounce will do). Is applied at night like cold cream, and washed off mornings-Adv.

WASHINGTON ROSE

The Mary Washington rose is per haps the most ambitious attempt at Horticulture made by George Wash ington. He made it at Mount Vernon in the last years of his life when he had laid aside tho cares of state. He started the rose from seeds brought from one of the older gardens in Philadelphia, grafted the young growth on the native sweetbrier and named the result after his mother. Mary Washington. It was probably the first attempt in this country to hybridize the monthly with the yearly blooming rose. The Mary Washing ton rose became famous; 1t still adorna an ancient trellis in the family garden at Mount Vernon, but if all the requests for cuttings wer~ granted, there would soon be nothing left of it.-Youth's Companion.

to see that no little children under

My program takes the form OF sug-

The league is interested in higher

work for the following:

for the enforcement of the child la
Dor law and to report children doing
work in the home and selling on the
streets that our laws do not reach.
Local leagues to make n careful
study of the child hygiene program

Women are responsible for all

ing" asserts Mrs. Rittenhouse who
believes the number of crippled chill

reduced if child hygiene work is ex-
tended to cover the state.
