warm day, had wrigSled and squirmed until his clothing had irritated his ten der skin. The combination of perspira- tion and heat had caused. him to break into the rash of babyhood-prickly heat.
 Nothing is better for this condition than an alkaline bath which neutralizes the acid in the precipitation and soothes the irritated skin.
 When the baby's grandmother went to the kitchen cupboard on her way upstairs she was looking for the baking soda.
 A teaspOonful of baking soda to each pint of tepid water is the right pro- portion for a soda bath, which is very restful on a warm day, even if one is past the prickly heat age.
 For small babies, however, it is best to have the bath slightly warmer than tepid, as even on a hot day one may chill a baby in a bath, especially if he has been very warm. Though some sturdy infants, accustomed from ear Hest infancy to cool water, may be given a sponge with cold water with out sustaining the slightest harm. They must pc very hardy ana uSed 10 cOlo water baths, however, before one insti- tutes such Spartan treatment.
 After the baby's soda bath he was patted dry, generously dredged with tall cum powder and, wearing only his dia- per, was placed on a clean shawl in the middle of the guest room floor. Pres ently, in spite of the heat, his fretting ceased, for he was comfortable. Just to prove it, he fell asleep within an hour.

 Real Treat
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

.</T AM just tired to death," said a Ss young friend of mine the other
 day after the departure of an' other. Do you know that when this woman comes to visit l always feel that I must be entertaining her and talking with her all the time. She seems to insist on a constant chatter and when she finally goes l heave a sigh of relief.
 Now Mrs. 50 and So is coming tonight" she went on, and l expeet a most delightful evening. She IS so restful herself. Sometimes we will sit together for considerable period and say nothing and get real enjoyment out of our meeting.
 "why is it." she asked nae, that some friends require so much atten- tion-so much conversation in order to feel that they have had good time"
 I would answer that I do not think much of a friend or a guest who re- auires constant conversation and at tention from me in order to feel that his stay has been worth while.
 There is the person who thinks that unless he is talking or being talked with that the fault is his and that he has proved unattractive. I-e becomes uneasy and when he goes home he thinks he has had bad time.
 The most boresome being in the world is he who talks and has nOth- ing to say and there are great num- bers of such people. They think they should be making" conversation. They chatter but get nowhere. You realize when you are through with them that they have taken much from you and given nothing.
 There is the friend who visits you who feels that un.ess you have planned something for his entertain unusual and different from the regular routine-that he has not been considered and that you are not oyeranxiOus to please him.
 He has had a bad time because he has brought the wrong spirit with him.
 It all resolves itself, however, to one thing which is the basis of all friend ship and all human relationship-con- sideration. The greatest friend in the world is he who comes to your home and assimilates with you and your daily doings without being any trou- ble or putting you to any added eff fort. In truth he has added to your pleasure and been a source of com fort in your little problems.
 This is the sort of individual whom you like to invite back again. You are one with him and he is one with you. He understands and fits right into the situation. There is the big thing. to adapt yourself to whatever comes in your relationship with friends. That is the highest kind of consideration.
 He who must be treated as a dis tinct guest all the time saps your strength and leaves you being glad that you do not have to have him very often.
 The friend that is loved most are those that I can call upon to come to me either to visit or to talk or to be silent, just as our moods warrant. and who looks at things as I do and makes himself agreeable accordingly interested in my affairs but not in qnisitiVe of them; who has something to say when he talks and is glad to be silent when he has not.
 Such are the joyous friends. And as some one has well said "The way to have a friend is to be one"

 You shan't have them! I'll make a magic broom stick and fly after the Raggedys!' Minga cried.
 And I shall make the magic broom stick which will fly faster than yours v Munga cried as she got out her magic charms. Minga also got out her charms and the two witches made magic flying broom sticks. But each was so afraid the other would get ahead of her they both wished for the broom sticks to thump the other upon the head. And, as both made the broom sticks at the same time, the others broom stick thumped both witches very hard, for the magic got all tangled up. And of course it served them both right.

 So they pulled each others noses and yanked each others hair until fin ally they rolled off the front porch of the house on wheels.
 Now just see what you have done v both witches cried at each other as they sat up and rubbed the bumps on their heads. You made me roll off the porch and now we have not only let the Raggedys escape, but we have lost the nice house on wheels!' v
 And both continued to blame the other.
 Now we shall never catch the Rag gedys!' Minga cried. Ut would have been much better if I had not called upon you to help me get the two magic books from Raggedy Ann! I shall leave you here and follow them by my selfi" Minga continued.

"HE heat shuddered up from the

 and every tree on the stret was dusty and dropping. The flowers in the gardens were discouraged, and women told each other, damply, sitting on porches, that it was the worst summer since the big cyclone.

 Its harder on the baby than any of us. He can't even talk about it," said the baby's grandmother. Then Its too warm to hold that child in your arms, Mary. Why don't you put him in beed and let him cool off? Take all his clothes off and let him feel a little more comfortable, anyway. That's one advantage of babyhood-being able to go without clothes on a warm day !'
 "Why, mother! I wouldn't dare {! He'd surel ycatch his death of cold, even if it Is sultry day" said Mary in dismay.
 Indeed he wouldn't. If I had my way babies would 90 naked most of the time"
 Iary's mother spoke with compla- cency and conviction.
 Mary looked shocked and said, Why, mother!"
 The baby settled the matter himself by wriggling and fretting so incessant- ly that his young mother was quite ex- hausted and so nervous herself in the course of the next half hour that she was ready to burst into tears.
 Then the baby's grandmother said, firmly, "Hand that child over to me, Mary. I may be old-fashiOned, but I have the courage of my convictions and I'm not going to see him suffer any more from the weather, even if we have to !'
 The baby was handed over, and his grandmother took him up to the bath room, stopping first in the kitchen on her way upstairs.
 Mary McArthur, quite worn out with the fussing baby and the humid wealth CT. threw herself into the hammock and fell asleep.
 Upstairs meanwhile, as baby's grand mother was undressing him, she said, T was afraid of that" as she inspected his fat little neck and chest upon which a rash wassdistinctly outlined. It was prickly heat Tie baby, perspiring

 We had attended the Grand street Follies in the NeighbOrhOOd playhouse, built by the Misses Lewisohn as part of an uplift plan. The players are drawn from the neighborhOod, as was most of the audience. One noted the superiority of the human over the dra- matic material. The comedy was often feeble, amateurish, but the men and women were fine. The dancers, product of a Grand street school, were more than fine. Aline MacMahon should be on the big time in little while.

I can tell you, the two mean witches, Minga and Munga, were very angry when they came rolling up, lickity split, in Rag. gedy Ann's magical house on wheels and saw that Raggedy Ann had made, with her magic book, a nice new wagon with red wheels for the poor man to ride in
 The two witches shook their fists at the Raggedys and called to the magical house on wheels to go faster, but the magical hobby horse, hitched to the nice new wagon with red wheels could run ever so much fas- ter than the house on wheels could roll and in a short time the two witches were far behind.
 Dear me '" Minga, the witch, howled into her sister Munga's ear "the Raggedys have escaped again ! Why didn't you take the two magic books away from them before you left them by the ice cream soda water fountain :"
 How did I know that they had the two magic books ?" Munga

THE POLITE MOTORMAN

A street car had just started when two women, rushing fro mopposite sides sides of the street to greet each other, met right in the middle of the track. There they stopped and began to talk.
 The car stopped, too, but the women did not appear to realize that it was there.
 Finally. the motorman leaned over the front of the car and inquired Pardon me, ladies. but shall get you a couple of chairs ?-Pittsburg Chronicle Tele- graph.

 You should have found out before you took Raggedy Ann's magic house on wheels and come back to where I waited for you!" Minga howled again.
 T supposed that the two magical books were here in the house on wheels, silly!" Munga cried. Why didn't you tell me yourselfw
 And so the magic house on wheels rolled along after the Raggedys, the two mean old witches howled into each others ears and fussed and quarrelled until both became very angry. And, as you surely must know, when any one becomes angry they never see any thing in true way. What the angry person sees is like when we look through bent piece of glass. Every thing is crooked and unhappy looking.

Members of the village band were going round the neighbOrhood on Christ mas eve playing carols. Finally they reached the house of an old fellow who had the reputation of being somewhat 'crusty." After a good deal of argu- ment the band decided to give him Good King Wenceslas."

1t is not an uncommon sight in

three, or even more bitches running
side by side or in closely parallel
locations. Thi sis due to the fact
that our irrigation systems have in
many cases( just grown, like Topsy

Undoubtedly. there are advantages
to the farmer or group OF farmers in
having a ditch which is not used, and
partially controlled by another man
or group OF men. However, every
one OF those bitches is losing water
seepage ii it is the usual earth ditch
and by evaporation ever if it is lined
with a perfectly impcrvious lining.
During the present emergency this
waste of water is an offense against
the public welfare as well as a loss
to the owners Of the bitches.
Under such conditions the users Of
water from such parallel bitches
should get together and use one or
another of them to the exclusion Of
the others. The idea, sometimes ex-
pressed that there will be about so
much loss from the water in any
case, whether it is carried in one or
more bitches may be estimated in
either of two ways. If il is estimated
as a percentage OF the water carried
per mile of canal, it will be seen from

II the loss Is estimated on the basis
OF the area Of soil covered by water
very similar results will be obtained.
For instance. take the case Of two
farm materials running alongside e
farm l~aterals running alongside each
other for half a mile and each carry
ing two second feet (l00inches) OF
water. Such a lateral would be about
six feet wide al the waters surface.
in a sandy loan soil the loss would
be about one foot OF water in depth
per square foot Of wet area per day
or about OF second feet. A ditch
large enough to carry all the water
flour second fcet) would be about rs
feet wide and under the same condi-
tons would lose OBS second feet of
water In this case 57.5 per cent OF
the loss would be saved by running
all the water in one ditch.
In addition TO the saving OF water a
very material saving may be made
in the labor and expense needed to
maintain the bitches. Such savings
can be made in nearly all the irri-
gated sections Of Idaho not only in
the case OF small farm l~atcraIs but
also by eliminating the useless dupli-
cation OF main canals and diversion
works.
