were very important members Of the
Old Orchard Colony. I don't know
how we should get along without
them in the summer. hadn't
thought Of them as being relatives Of
yours"
well they are" replied Piny.
while they occasionally come up
where I live in Summer, l seldom
see them. In the first place, Mrs.
Piny and I are all through nesting
by the time they arrive. Then, too.
we like the deep woods. SO I've only
seen Rosebreast once or twice. But
have other relatives that I see often"
who are they?" asked Peter
bluntly.
"AIr. and Mrs. Evening Grosbeak,"
replied Piny. 'They love the deep
woods of the North just as do
do they ever get down this way?"
inquired Peter.
They are down here now" replied
Piny. At least understand they
are. haven't seen them, but I've run
across signs Of them"
Peter became quite excited. "'Real-
ly!" he cried. What would they look
like?" ne demanded. SHOULD / know
them If should see them?"
Piny stopped to gather UP few
more seeds. Then he flew over to a
young mountain ash to try few
berries from that. Peter chased
right along after him. Peter was
getting curious. He was getting
more curious every minute. He
knew he never would rest until that
curiousity was satisfied. So he
chased along after Piny and Mrs.
Piny and the rest Of the flock of
Pine Grosbeaks, and patiently wait
ed until Piny was through with the
ash berries. Then once more he
begged Piny to tell him what the
Evening Grosbeak was like.
Like, like-well, like a 0rosbeak,"
replied Piny somewhat impatiently.
'Tt seems to me anybody ought to
know a Grosbeak when he sees it.
Mr.. Evening Grosbeak looks like me,
only different. I mean he's a Gros-
beak and I'm a Grosbeak. What's
the good of having family looks II
people can't tell them when they see
you?"
Peter shook his head. Il don't
know" said he. 81 suppose there

writes me that the baby can laugh

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

| Mrs. G.. d. MD. writes: my baby
is 10 months old and is the picture
of health, but my friends criticize
some of the things / do and l am
| coming to you for advice.
| First, I use rubber pants on the
baby.
Second, he scratches his face, even
though I keep his nails short, and Sc
the doctor said to tie his hands with
| ribbon to each side of his coach,
| which I did.
the covers off, so l ran strap around
his feet, and now he can't kick
them Off
1 also use a safety strap when he
is in his coach or high-chair Don't
think he is strapped up all the time,
as he gets plenty of exercise on my
bed or in his play pen.
AS he is a bottle-fed baby. I give
him a pacif1er. Isn't this better than
nipple?
Also / use a veil over his face.
Answer.-Dear lady, l am sure you
are doing what you think best for
the baby, but / also find much to crit
tcize in your program.
Rubber panties should be used only
on state occasions. They should not
are too heating
There must be some reason why
the baby scratches his face. since he
is too old to be doing it because he
has no idea what his hands are do
ing, as is the case with tiny babies.
l would use some cold cream on
his face and be sure he hasn't
touch of eczema which makes his face
itchy. ! should prefer putting small
bags over the child's hands to tying
them up.
1t would be better, too. to fasten
the covers SO that the baby could
move his feet freely without kicking
the covers off. Use your straps to
hold the covers, rather than his feet.
1t is all right to use a safety strap
for the high-chair, but don't overdo
1t. / am sure you are not.
No baby needs either pacifier or
a nipple. One is as bad as the other.
They both encourage adenoids and ill.
shaped teeth. as the constant sucking
Is unnatural. Why should he need
soothing? If he is hungry he should
have food, not a barren nipple.
Do not use a veil. A baby is able
to stand the cold air without a cover
ing, which is hard on his eyes and
which becomes wet and cold from his
breath. You see, in this case they"
were right.
Mrs. II. s. D.-A baby of 9 months
requires one quart of milk daily.
Your baby weights more than the av-
erage yearold child. He should have
four bottles of eight ounces each. In
no other way can he get the right
nourishment.

WASHINGTON. d. c.

WASHINGTON. d. c.
Prof. G. Stanley Hall. the noted
psychologist, did not believe that any
person had a personal conscious ex-
istence after death, as YOU probably
know from reading his books. John
Milton in his Christian Doctrine, ="
which was not discovered until 1923.
and which Macaulay refers to in his
Essay on Milton" stated 1t as his
belief that every person who has lived
on this earth, both before Christ and
since, is dead and has no existence
anywhere; but he believed that they
would all come to lief again at some
future time when there occurs what
the theologians call the resurrection
of the body.
DO you believe that every human
being who has lived on the earth has
personal, conscious existence some
where, or that he ever will have?
Answer.--As a Christian minister l
not only believe in human immortali-
~. but regard it as a rational reality.
My theology is Christo-centric. 1t de-
ponds upon Him who said: Because
I live We shall live also" and upon
His teaching that God is the Father
of all spirits. Surely He does not
create them to be the sport of bodily
death. For me their existence beyond
the grave is the logical sequence of
His Fatherhood. Tennyson had this
idea in mind when he wrote of man:
He thinks he was not made to die.
And Thou hast made him. Thou art Just"
But the essence OF your question is
In it's demand for details, such as the
conscious personal immortality of
every human being who has existed.
from aboriginal man to the Bushman
of Africa, the Moslem of India, the
Buddhist. the Confucianlst and the
Christian. / know of no such sweep
of knowledge and Judgment in men
and women as would enable them to
understand the fate of these count
less tribes and nations.
Nor Is the revelation of Christ given
TO particulars concerning the exact
nature of the future life. 1t is prone
TO negatives rather than positives. No
night, no sin. no pain, no sorrow, no
separation; these are its conspicuous
attributes. The rest is left to the wis
dom and mercy of the Supreme Ar
bitter. In fact. there is a necessary
agnosticism in the Bible about the
after life. Necessary, 1 repeat, be-
cause "eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither hath it entered into the
heart of man to conceive the things
which God has prepared for them that
love Him"
For me this native inability to
understand what awaits us Is infinite
ly preferable to alleged statements
made by the discarnate about the fu-
ture life. After reading them I feel
that for once ignorance has more dig
nifty than knowledge
The whole question is highly con-
troversial, especially when you insist
on more than one life at time, and
seek for particulars in a realm far
beyond mortal quest. The one solvent
for your difficulties is faith in the
Fatherhood of God. The suggestion

Most of us are born with relations.
It isn't mater of whether or not we
want them. They may be good, they
may be bad, they may be just no ac-
count, but they are ours just the
same. Trader the Wood Rat, who is
so honest that he cannot take a thing
without leaving something in eX-
change, hates to think that he is re-
lated to Robber the Brown Rat, but
he is and there is nothing he can do
about it. Some relationships can be
recognized at once. Others are not
SO easily recognized.
Perhaps you recall that Peter Rab-
bit had run across Piny the Pine
Grosbeak getting a meal from sumac
seeds. Piny was q handsome fellow.
He certainly was. His breast was
rose red, and against the white Of the
snow he looked very lovely. He had
come down from the North, because
up there food was scarce.
For long time Peter sat watch

were many of them, feasting on

Answer.--It Is not always wise for
an outsider to criticize the sumptuary
habits of a nation. especially when
those OF his own people are under
fire. Yet. as an economic proposition
which bears directly on the worlds
financial situation. the reduction OF
Britain's traffic in intoxicants de-
serves the serious attention of her
well wishers.
In 1925 she spent 1920 900 900 in
drink and invested SIP 900 900 over
seas. The expenditure represents
even from the standpoint OF the non
prohlbitionist. an incalculable amount
of needless waste and suffering. The
investment aids the development OF
an empire upon whose industrial wei
fare Britain's commercial prosperity
depends as it never did before.

and breweries in Great Britain and
Ireland for the success of other and
less hazardous Industries. II the ex.

Money. brains. labor, equipment and

nation of this evil. II Is on the wane,
however, and vigorous measures are
being taken for its future limitation
by many British and Irish authorities
in economics. who are convinced that
drink must diminish in their countries
if these are to hold their own in inter.
national competition for manufacture
and trade.

Carriers Again Are in Popular Use
by MARY MARSHALL.

Despite the shortness of skirts there
seems to be place for the garter The
reason some women discarded the
garter when skirts became more and
more abbreviated was that there was
danger that it might show! But after
oil. is there any reason why gar
ter shouldn't show? Once. of course,
there was reason for such a prejudice
against showing the garter. 1t was
not that the garter showed but that
the leg encased thereby should show.

There must be something distinc.
tive about the present-day garter. The
commonplace garter made of colored
ribbon pulled over the elastic band
beneath is not enough. Usually the
really smart garter lacks the little
ruffled edging at the sides. And since
there is no longer any difficulty in
seeing the garter it must be not too
obvious. With a black evening frock
one wears a garter covered with black
lace or silk with a tiny rosette of the
lace or a buckle of small imitation
pearls or rhinestones. With the white
evening frock you may wear a white
satin garter trimmed with rhinestone
embroidery to match the embroidery
on the white gorgette handkerchief
which is carried at the same time.
