THE baby's bath Is one of the most
4 important events of the day. For
Of course, every baby should be bathed
at least once day During hot wea-
Their, one or two extra sponge baths
may be given to keep the baby COM
Portable, but the principal bath Of the
day should be given in tub. 1t can
be done more quickly and thoroughly
and the baby is not SO apt to take
cold
The room should be warm so that
the baby will not chill If it is pos
sible to have it, an open fire Is an
advantage in cool weather The water
should be from 90 degrees to 80 de-
grees F.. This Is warm but not hot.
1t Is not safe to test the warmth OF
the water by the hand, as the hand Of
an adult Is much less sensitive to
heat than a baby's skin. Whenever
possible, bath thermometer should be
used, so there con be no mistake about
the temperature of the water
Have everything ready before I'M
dressing the baby. Pure white CASTLE
soap, uncolored and unscented, is the
best for the baby's skin. A box of
pure taIcum powder, box of boric
acid, plenty of safety pins of different
sizes, clean washcloth, clean towels,
and clean clothing should be gotten
ready before the bath is begun.
Spread a large bath towel on the
lap to protect the baby's tender skin
from contact with the mothers or
nurses clothing. Undress the child by
taking the clothes off over the feet;
wrap him in small blanket and wash
the face, head and ears with the wash
cloth before putting him into the tub.
Very little soap should be used, care
being taken not to get the soap into
the baby's eyes or mouth. Rinse the
soap off thoroughly and dry the skin
with soft towel, taking especial care
to dry well behind the ears and in
the creases of the skin of the neck.
where moisture is apt to lodge and
cause irritation Wash the eyes with
a bit of absorbent cotton dipped In
boric acid solution, using a clean piece
mouth, ears, and nose carefully with
little cotton wrapped on the end of
a toothpick. Ask your doctor or nurse
how to make these little swabs.
Lay bath towel in the bottom of
the tub and put in small amount of
warm water. Put the baby in the tub
and add water gradually, being careful
that the temperature of the water in
the tub never gets above 90 degrees.
Soap the baby's body carefully and
| thoroughly. holding him with the
mothers forearm under the baby's
neck and shoulders Rinse the soap
Off with plenty of warm water, then
lift the child out of the tub and wrap
him In a towel. Dry with a soft towel.
pattlng rather than rubbing the skin
Sprinkle little talcum powder in the
folds of the skin, under the arms, and
around the buttocks. Do not put the
powder on the skin until it is as dry
as possible to get it and never put
on enough powder to clog up the pores
of the skin.
as possible at the same hour each day,
not less than one hour after feeding.
A young baby should be bathed in as
short time as possible, not more than
three minutes being taken for the
process. AS the child gets older and
stronger, it may be allowed to remain
in the water for a longer time.

GAY KNITTED BLAZER COAT;
HATS FOR MIDSUMMER WEAR

Although I have seen Melville Sar- toris but twice, this influence he ex- erts over me has grown until today I am wondering. as l write, If he will look to me as he did the night of my party In Albany, when he bade me good night and added, softly, My lovely lady of the snoWs."

 Mrs. Vireo.
 Little Mrs. Red eye, the Nireo, felt much as your mother would feel II she discovered strange baby left on her doorstep. To be sure, that egg wasn't d strange baby, but unless there was some way of getting rid of it 1t would be a strange baby by and by unless her home and those three beautiful eggs which were really her own should be deserted. She really thought of doing this very thing. Yes, sir. she did so.
 But there had been so much hard work put into the building of that dainty nest, and 1t was so exactly tn home she wanted, that somehow she couldn't make up her mind to leave it. Besides, there were those three eggs. Of course, she could hatch out this unwelcome egg which some- one had left in her nest, but that would mean an extra baby to feed. Mrs. Red eye was sorely tempted to drive her bill into that egg and break it right away. But that would spoil her nest.
 She tried to pick up that egg, but it was too big for her. She tried to she gave up trying. Perhaps her bill, but the nest was just a little bit too deep. Though she tried and tried, she didn't succeed. Finally she gave up trying. Prhaeps her own eggs would hatch out first, and then she wouldn't have to sit on that unwelcome egg and hatch it out. So with sigh little Mrs. Red-eye re- sumed her household duties.
 The next morning she had fourth egg of her own in the nest, and now the nest was rather croWd- ed. That big, unwelcome egg left there by Sally Sly the Cowhird took up altogether, too much room, It made Mrs. Red-eye uncomfortable. She shifted about. trying to ind a more comfortable position. In do- ing this she found that egg resting against one of her feet. She knew it was that egg by its size. The very feel of 1t caused her to lose her tenn per for a minute. Lifting herself slightly, she suddenly kicked out and up with all her might. Really she hadn't meant to do it. It was | done in a fit of temper.
 And then as she settled back she missed something. She didn't feel that big egg. She got up and looked in her nest. There were just four

 What have you got rid of?' de- manded Red-eye, looking puzzled.
 That egg that Sally Sly laid in our nest" replied Mrs Red-eye. Then she explained how she had kicked it out, and they both flew down for a look at it. AfterTard Red-eye sang and sang for pure joy, while Mrs. Red-eye once more sat on the eggs. And this time she had no difficulty In making herself com- fortable.
 Meanwhile. unseen by Red-eye and Mrs. Red-eye, feathered per- son dressed in brownish-gray, who was much bigger than the Vireos. had been spying and had seen that egg kicked from the nest. It was Sally Sly the Cowbird and she had been watching for a chance to lay another egg in that nest But now she suddenly changed her mind. She must find the nest for some one smaller than herself, but who was not smart enough to get rid of an extra egg.

 Hunger is the result of muscular ccntractions of the stomach, When food Is present in the stomach these eontractions are so gentle that they are not noticed.
 When the stomach Is empty. how ever, and food IS needed, these con fractions become so intense they give rise to an unpleasant sensation which IS called hunger,
 Any sort of food will quickly cause the disappearance of hunger by lessening the intensity of the con- fractions. Candy acts on the stom- ach contractions in this manner. II fools the stomach.
