"Ill admit we did put it over on our friends with our fake radio concert. Dinkston is a genius. Why, it was his idea of putting the piano and the I phonOgraph in the back room and l faking radio concert. You've got to admit Dinkston'sla genius."

He just cut n hole two inches 1 the Fifty Thousand Dollars phono- graph record and the imitation squawk2 ing couldn't be told from the genuine.p Yes, and ruined one of our best records !" snapped Mrs, Jarr.
 And not only that, but while we were all in the front room listening to your fraudulent radio concert that man Dinkston slipped to the kitchen and my bedroom, while you were making fool of yourself featuring and announcing, and drank every thing in the house, including my cologne, the bay rum and all the flavor ing extracts !s' ...%

It was neces- sary to turn him only once. It was not tiring ordeal and Johnnie liked the novelty of getting bath in bed.
 After the bath came a gentle rub with witch hazel, followed by an entire body rub with tacum powder, the gentle friction making his small weary body unbelievably rested. While Jonnie lay on his side, well covered with the blanket. the nurse covered the bare side of the bed with the bot tom sheet, tucked it in, rolled him back, drew the sheet through and tucked it in, rolled him back, drew the sheet through and tucked it tightly on the far side.

 Where crowd gathers you will gen orally find Irene or None of her type. Usually she is in the center of the girl who stares at the sky or at the top of tall building and lives to at tract crowd around her. There is 2 bit of the devil in her, as we'll as a deeply ingrained sense of curiosity.
 Irene takes nothing for granted. Her idea is to find out for herself hut that is because she is curious. TeM her SOhCtuluS anu Suc VIII dbh yOu Ak1fts undertake to investigate for herself so she can satisfy her curiosity. She is indeed a type.
 Her curiosity applies to. young men She likes to meet them all and find out everything obtu them from their own lips. But more often than not she succeeds in driving them away on ac- count of her relentless curiosity. They seldom come back. t Nevertheless Irene has her good qualities. She isn't pest all the time and some time she will arouse the curi. osity of a young man who will dis cover her best points and fall in love with her.
 Irene will be- so busy with him she won't have time to be curious about much of anything else. But just nov | she is type.

Home Nursing.
The Bath In Bed

'The doctor ordered bath for John. nie. He said it would soothe him. He has been so restless--but I. don't see how I can possibly put him in the tub. He is so ill." -lS
 The woman who had married late in life and knewsnothing at all about illness or the care of the sick, looked anxiously from her small step son to the nurse who had just arrived.
 ''He can have a, bed-bath," said the ndrse," and it will do him all the good in the world !' ..,
 But how in the world can you give him a bath in bed without wetting the sheets and the mattress?" asked the stepmother, .helplessly.
 "Just come and watch me. The very way I should give you a bed-bath if you were ill" explained the nurse. "Bed-baths are the most wonderful thing in the world. They keep the skin fresh, and functioning. The circulation is stimulated and absolute cleanliness may be maintained without the least effort to the patient no matter how iOuS HC uds tO III Ucu. 1I&TC are baths to reduce temperature, too, but the bath I shall demonstrate to you is an ordinary cleansing bed-bath sslch as patients receive every day." said the nurse.
 "He had bath last Saturday." his stepmother said. That vast six days previous and as the child had been al- ternately perspiring and burning with fever he needed cleansing bath very much indeed.
 Assembling fresh sheets and night gown, towels, basin of warm water and a pitcher of hot to heat it as it became cool during the bath, the nurse brought them to the bedside, got wash cloths, soap. talcum powder, q bottle of witch habel to rub the child's body after his bath, cold cream to annoint Ihs lips. which were cracked and bleed- ing, cotton wool and matches to clean

 Dear Dorothy Dix-What is puppy love? JACKIE.
 Answer: Puppy love, son, is i'm
 mature love, immature taste, the
 feeling young boys and girls have
 when they are attracted to each Oth-
 CT one day and are tired of each oth-
 CT the next. You know how indis- ], criminate a puppy's appetite is-how
 it will chew on old shoes and eat the !, happens to lie around handy? And
 you know how sniffy and contemp- ltuous wise old dog is of every
 thing? That's puppy love, and a
 mans love. When you are a boy you can fall in love with everything in skirts and you will be ready to follow every new skirt that fits across your path, and when you're a man you look back and laugh to think that you ever could have been interested in the petticoats that allured you. Because they won't be your taste at all You will have out. grown your appetite for old shoes and laundry soap. Your own taste will be formed. You will know what you ad. 'mire and need in woman, and when you fall in love you will be in love for keeps. DOROTHY DIX.

 It has a very serious angle in that commercial activities between the two nations are now being conducted on a temporary modus viVendi basis, the old treaty having expired some time ago. The American ambassador in Madrid has been instructed to ask further con tinuation of the existing arrangement, although meantime virtually all the powers have concluded favorable com mercial treaties with Spain.
