Cereals.

One of the first additions to the
babys diet will be cereal. This can
be started about the seventh month,
and In the cases OF babies who are
chronic vomiters, Il may be given
much earlier. We have discovered
that this type Of child can keep down
cereal when any sort of liquid food
will Immediately be vomited.
Until the child Is past one year of
age the cereal should be strained
through q fine wire strainer. This
extracts any course and indigestible
particles which might cause trouble
and too much bowel activity. The
child can be started on the finer
wheat preparations and oatmeal. all
of which should have at least q three
hour cooking in q double boiler. When
the child Is older and can take the
cereal unstrained. he may have the
whole grain cereals. cracked wheat.
graham, etc., and get the benefit of
their mineral and yitamin content.
Cereals can be given before the
morning and evening bottle or breast
feeding, starting with not more than
a level teaspoonful. When mothers
have trouble with new foods. IL can
almost always be traced to the fact
that they want to give the baby,
right away the Iull amount 1OE y

with small, very small, amounts, and
follow with q bottle feeding, or nurs-
Ing. Keep to the small amount for
at least week, and then increase
the amount, providing there has been
no digestive disturbances, which
there should not be.
When new kinds of cereals are
started, begin In the same cautious
manner, as the child may react badly
to barley or rice or oatmeal. when he
has been taking wheat with no
trouble. Put no sugar on the cereal,
but have II slightly sailed. and il the
baby is old enough, say one year or
older, he may have part of his bottle
Of milk over the cereal and the rest
to drink. He'll never miss the sugar
IL he hasn't 1t to start with, and he
will enjoy the rich nut-iike favor
OF the cereal.
When the child is able to digest
the cereal, he may have ct each

Mona.s caIlousness toward Leila,
together with Barry's persecution OF

an individual instead Of q piece OF
household furniture. He was aware
Of her presence In the house, and
always his thoughts went back TO the
battered old typewriter he had seen
In her room.
AT first an amazing thought had
crossed his mind. The girls beauty
and evident culture had long since
convinced him that she was no or
binary servant, and IL had occurred to
him that she might be in this post
ton to get material for q book. Girls
did such things. He had often heard
of q girl taking q position in g de-
partment store IN order to get the
viewpoint OF the working girl, but
after ne had thought Il over carefully
he came to the conclusion that Leila
was not nlasQuerading.
Under Mona,s careless exploiting Of
her, she would not have exhibited so
much sensitiveness. No. the girl had
probably been brought up In wealth
and then lost her money. She was

favorable. In the afternoon and early
evening, they are distinctly adverse,
while, later on they assume q mega

there is much to indicate that these

beware lest you pound your thumb OF.

look afFiuent.
ReupIlolstering.
The upholstery may be worn
threadbare on a SGaenport or chair
and then the ysnole room has a
'6own-at-the-heel' appearance. A
new cover will restore the affiuent
look to the entire place. There are
many upholstery materials that can
be bought which are not expensive.
The chief things to consider are
strength and fast colors. 1t doesn't
pay to put on any other kind, for the
cost of labor In the upholSterfng is
not trifing. A good wearing fabric,
therefore,, is essential to thI4ftiness.
If the homemaker does the uphol-
stering this Is just as true, for work
that has to be done soon again costs
too much, either in actual dollars and
cents or in time and energy.
Slip Covers.
The piece OF furniture may be made
to reflect plenty in lheaper way, and
yet one which is not associated with
cheapness at all. Al slip cover can be
made for the davenport chair or stool.
Since such covers are made to save
handsome furniture as well as to con-.
ceal shappy upholstery. they are just
the things to use to give the aff1uent
look. Moreover, slip covers are de
cidedly the things to have for stuffed
furniture during the Summertime.
The covers are cool looking and also
cool feeling.
Take Away Scratches.
Varnish that is scratched or marked
spoils the looks of furniture. Rub the
marks with cloth moistened with
kerosene, or, better still, with q good
furniture oil, and they will disappear.
Rickety tables and chairs indicate that
things are not well cared for To re-
fleet affiuence rugs must not be frayed

not sterling; lamp shades must be
straight and pictures not askew on the
walls; napery and linens must be fresh
and either well mended or in perfect
condition. 1t is when the furniture
and furnishings of a home are given
the proper care that affiuence and an
atmosphere of plenty are indicated.

Lighting Pipe in Vesuyius.

Volcanoes are the messengers from
the under crust Of the earth. They
do not tell us what conditions are like
at the core OF the world, but they
certainly tell us what elements are be-
meath our feet. Volcanoes shoot out
most Of the known metals, beside
some precious gases, like helium.
They also belch forth dangerous gases,
like hot sulphur, and Hibernate enough
steam to drive all locomotives.
An eruption Of Vesuvius in 1871
occurred while the famous scientist.
Sir Ray Lancaster, was ascending
the mountain. Despite the dangers
he climbed to the crater's edge with
several men and watched the red-hot
bombs Of molten rock hurtle into the
air. Coming down the mountain they
escaped river of lava, lighting their

face had cooled TO d thin taffy-iike

Story Of tho U. S. A.

The secret is out that a few days
after the Declaration was issued q.
paper was privately laid on the Con-
gress table, importing that dark de-
signs were forming for the destrt1c-
ton of Congress, and advising the
members to take care of themselves.
Some were for examining the cellars
under the hall where Congress meets
for indications of a gunpowder plot.
Joseph Halves Of North Carolina Is
authority for this statement.
81 was against examining the cell

that we ought to treat such informa-
ton with contempt and not show any
mark OF fear or jealousy. told
some OF them had almost as soon be
blown up as to discover to the world
that thought myself in danger. No
notice has been taken Of this informa-
ton, which think Is right"
The patriots say that the Declare
ton has given vigor to the spirits Of
the people, as Samuel Adams of Mas

Henry Lee Of Virginia. The proposal
viii be made that the Declaration be

Buying vs.. Doing Over.
There is a tendency to discard fur.

and to replace 1t with new. Hesitate
to do this. providing the article is of
hne wood and made on classic lines.
The money required for doing the
piece over may seem considerable
when compared with the cost of a.
new thing. But is the new piece of
as good wood? Is it as well made?
Are the upholstery and the material
put into it as good as in the piece
you are replacing? If not, is the
purchase wise? Take these things
into consideration when buying.
Look Gut for Small Things.

he had no way Of proving it there

he would have to work up from the

But Barry wasn't interested, and Mona
always sided with him in any argu-
ment. Once before when Richard had
put his foot down and withdrawn
Barry's allowance the boy had APP
