When sufficient cables had been
fired they would be picked up on

Summer Hints
for Young Mothers
Second Summer
Teething

There is common old saying
among mother that if the baby
survives its second summer, it will
be over the most dangerous period.
This is based on the fact that hot
weather is hard on a teething child.
One of the most famous chill
dren's specialists says that healthy
child in teething may be fretful
and sleep poorly for a few nights,
may show loss of appetite, and
slight fever, and may drool, but
such spells should only last three
or four days -. and most of the
symptoms commonly attributed to
teething come from indigestion due
to wrong food.
For children's indigestion, there's
nothing more effective than 1.-Two

LITTLE HOPE EXISTS

are that the Lusitania, sunk off tse
Irish coast by a German torpedo in

cording to David Masters, author OF

The sheer weight of the sea, the
writer points out, quickly obliter-

that the tremendous pressure to
which she was subjected at the
