Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

/ Still the letters pour in about babies
! taking cold. The most frequent query
| is: why do babies take cold SO
| easily? and then mothers answer
their own question by saying; Il had
a hard cold the week before the baby
took the cold"
Colds are Caught" from some one
having a cold. The little neighbor
girl who runs in and kisses the baby;
| the lady or gentleman who sneezes
freely and unrestrainedly in the room
with the baby; the mother or father
who cars for the baby when harboring
cold: all of these offer the baby an
easy road to a bad cold
The baby's own condition makes II
possible for him to throw off the
germs he has breathed in, or succumb
to them and get cod. If he is a
healthy baby gets out of doors every
day, sleeps and lives in a room with
plenty of cold fresh air about him, he
will have the resistance to any dis
ease germs, including colds.
Too many babies live in homes that
are like the Sahara desert for dry
heat. There is no moisture in the
room, there are no windows open and
the temperature is nearly so.
TO add to this, the babies are wrap
ped in woolens and fiannels and then
live in a Summer temperature.
Is it any wonder that they are made
so tender and non-resisting that every
cold breath of air causes them to
choke up and cough and every cold
germ that comes near them is wei
coined and coddled2
The way to keep children from
catching cold is to get them so used
to cold fresh air all day and night
that they build up a natural resist
ance which makes changes of tenn

their air moist by the use of jars of
water left openly on radiators, or on
the back of stoves, or near registers
will do a lot to keep the air in the
room moist

it's not the heat. it's the humidityD
and SO If one wants to make the
most of the heating plants one needs
to keep the air moist and it will be
not only warmer but soothing to ones

A baby is an active little mite. He
doesn't need wrappings and swath-
ings of wool to keep him warm. A
lightweight, part-wool band. shirt and
hose, with petticoat and thin slip
are enough for any baby over 6
months of age in most of our hot
houses-in fact. the runabout won't

a thermometer in the house and don't

Put a cheesecloth screen in the

colds away from the baby. Such
measures will keep the sneezes
away.

with little success. without knowing
the history OF her case, / can make
a shrewd guess at a probable cause
or her difficulty. The vogue OF the
nat, boyish figure for young women
has encouraged tho unhygienic prac.
tlce of binding the breast down
tightly. AS result, the muscles be.
come weak and lose their natural
shape.
There is little hope of ever being
able to restore the normal contour of
the bust after IL has been lost, but the
deterioration of the tissues NAV he
checked if taken in time. Exercises
such as swimming, are a great helm
The arm -flinging movement brings
the little-used muscles into play and
the cold water stimulates the whole
body. External application of oil or
foodcreamS cannot take the place of
systematic exercise to build the
tissues from within. Another good
exercise for improving the bust is as
follows:
Stand erect with hands on hips
Press down on your hips with your
hands and at the same time swing
elbows forward as far as you can:
then press them back until the
shoulder-blades touch. Repeat until
slightly tired
A loose brassiere that does not
cramp the bust may be worn to make
ones clothes set better. Girls with
small bust measure ga inches or lessl
will find broad ribbon pinned across
the front of the chemise is all that
is needed for this purpose.

CHAPTER MIX.
A Normal Girl.

So angrily that she almost tore her
delicate, fragile underwear. Jessica
undressed. Rather than put on one
OF the cotton nightgowns, she decided
to go to bed in her pink silk slip. 1t
wasn't until she was ready for bed
that she went to the window and
looked out. There We're millions of
stars. but no moon, so that the night
was very dark.
Her window was just a few feet
from the ground. A piece of green
mosquito netting had been tackled over
it in lieu of a screen. She had only
TO tear down the gossamer barrier,
put on her clothes again, climb out
of the window and escape.
But Mark had said that they were
20 miles from the nearest house. Five
snniles sounded like terrific distance
TO walk. And ii would be dark under
the trees, and there might be animals.
Certainly the country was wild
enough.
An eerie wall sounded through the
darkness and Jessica drew back, shiv-
ering. What was that? 1t sounded
like the cry Of some wild beast No: if
she We're TO make her escape she
would have to plan il carefully and
go by daylight. She had never liked
the darkness overmuch.
She climbed into bed and drew the
sheet up to her throat. but she wasn't
a bit sleepy. There was a gnaWing
sensation in her stomach. She had
left her lamp burning in a corner of
the room because she could not bear
10 plunge the room into complete
darkness. But it was almost worse
than if she had blown it out. Every
few minutes it would flicker. And il
cast such strange shadows every
where. II seemed to light up only
that one corner, in which respect it
differed from an electric light bulb.
She thought of Ray and the Coun-
try Club dance. What would he think
when she didn't return? Would he
organize search party TO look foi
her? hSe tried TO imagine what his
feelings had been when he mad come
10 call for her tonight, and then she
remembered that Aunt Maude had
probably interviewed him. OF course
she was in on this plot
She could imagine Aunt Maude say
ing:
WHY, didn't YOU know? Jessica
has gone away Her guardian decided
that she was tired and needed rest
Strarge that she didn't tell you about
ii. I can't understand it,"
Aunt Maude hated Ray She would
be just as disagreeable as she could
And what would Ray think? Woulf
he realize that she had been carried
away against her viii? IL was such I
silly, melodramatic situation that h
might not even think of such a thing
s Again that sensation of knawing il
her stomach. She was hungry. She

unless by some chance Mrs. Morse
had taken charge of it.
The thought grew on her. That
mosquito netting was only tackled.
She could pry' out the taeks with the
little nail file in her pocketbook.
She threw off the bedclothes and
sprang out of bed. The thought of
food stimulated her to action. The
next moment she had found the file
and was at the window. 1t was an
easy matter to loosen the mosquito
netting and climb through. The next
moment she was outside the house.
The dark night was closing in all
around her
She mad taken the precaution to
wrap herself in the cape of brushed
wool that had been hanging in her
closet and she had slipped into her
shoes. The welcoming outlines of the
car lOomed up as she rounded the
house and she flew over to ii.
Standing on the running board, she
reached over the door and CROPPED for
the basket. 1t was still there. AT
first she thought of carrying it back
TO her room, and then the thought
that Mrs. Morse would discover ii in
! the morning made her decide to eat
in the car.

Fred T. GLADDEN., assistant State
superintendent.
Six divisions comprise the State
department. They are: Admins

ance, rehabilitation and vocational.
The administrative division COM
prises the duties of the State super
intendent and assistant superin-
tendent.
Superintendent Is Head
The superintendent determines
policies to govern his term of Of
flee and is responsible for all de-
cisions of division heads. An ex~
ample of policy problems to be de-
cided by him is the county or town.
ship unit problem.
Duties of the assistant superin-
tendent include preparing the
budget, occasional inspection Of
schools, arranging for all school law
publications and taking the place of
the superintendent at conferences.
The inspection division is the
contact department" of the sys-
tenn. 1t adjusts local problems and
nnoulds local units into the. State
program.

The license division issues all
teachers licenses and permits and
advises teachers as to the course

The rehabilitation division is a
development since the World War.
1t was founded to assist returned
soldiers to obtain further educa-
ton. Later, broadened to include
civilians, the division aids those
physically unfit who might become
a charge upon the State to get an
education and aid themselves.
Six Divisions in Office
Agriculture, home economics and
industrial arts, with separate di-
rector for each, are included in the
