Kitchen Clocks.
The kitchen clock is perhaps the
most important one of all the house.
Unless it is an accurate timekeeper,
the housewife cannot be sure of serv-
ing meals on time. and if there is a
maid it is . continual annoyance to
her. She is liable to be blamed for
what is not her fault when it comes
to prompt service. If the clock is
portable, no special clock for the
maids room is needed. She can use
the same timepiece for kitchen and
chamber. 1t should he an alarm clock,
for the sounding Of the alarm will
sometimes be needed to Waken her for
early breakfast preparations. 1t is a
good thing to have two clocks, one
for her chamber and one for the kitCh-
EN-. but one can be made to do salts
factorily There should be a clock
shelf arranged in the kitchen, where
the time can be easily consulted.
Boudoir and Desk Clocks.
Boudoir clocks have become such
fascinating articles of furnishing that
every woman wants one for her cham
her II should suit the scheme of deco
ration, and it may be in any one of a
hundred or more models. 1t is even
more varied than the desk clock that
is another OF the favorite clock types.
DO not forget to have a clock in a
child's room. There are many that
hang on the wall that are well suited
to this purpose, and there are even
more that are shelf clocks. Have the
shelf too high for little hands to reach,
for there is a fascination for a child
about a clock. BY having one in the
bedroom the child becomes accus-
toned to its ticking and learns not
TO be annoyed by the noise as he grows
older. Also the child learns to tell time
quicker when he finds it easy to study
the face of clock.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, September Is.

The position Of the sun at the be-
ginning Of the Autumn is read as pres.
aging for the United States trouble
with Mexico. But this need not be
serious.
According to astrology this is an
uncertain day, in which it is wise to
20 to church and to avoid excitement.
The sway is not favorable to leader
ship of any sort, for the stars encour-
age envy and Jealousy, while this rule
prevails.
High officials in the Government
may expect attacks and unfair esti-
mates Of their service while the days
aspects continue.
The evening of tomorrow NAV be de-
pressing 10 all who are inclined to
think seriously, for the stars are in
aspects that have a tendency to cause
dependency.
Lovers should take note that the
stars do not smile on romance tomor-
row, making for caution on the part
Of suitors.
Under this rule, women may be in
clined to take the initiative in propos-
ing marriage, a tendency that will in
crease.
Persons whose birth date 1t is may
find themselves at a difficult place in
their lives. They should be exceeding
ly careful in making all important de.
cisiOns.
Children born on that day are sup
posed to nave unusual talents. Many
subjects of this sign attain world
fame.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs w. w. R.-A baby who weighed
over eight pounds at birth ought to
weigh more than 1112 pounds at q
months. That is scarcely the weight
for months. That is the reason fol
his fussiness. If you started orange
juice by giving it undiluted, that is
one reason it did not agree. No new
food should be started abruptly. Give
one teaspoOnful, strained and diluted
with three teaspoons of boiled water.
In one month more he can have
home-cooked cereal. Meanwhile ne
should have q complementary feeding
Of perhaps one and one-eighth ounces
of milk and the same Of boiled water
and One-half teaspoon of sugar directly
after each nursing. This should salts
fy him and make him gain as he
should. Boil both milk and water to-
gether for three minutes, Add sugar
and cool to blood heat.
Mrs. j. CA 5-month-old baby
should have doubled his birth weight,
which your baby has. In addition to
the orange juice and cod liver oil, you
can now begin cereals.
Mrs. c. X. E.-Your 7-month.old
baby, weighing IS pounds, is getting
IIAcIIiS VI ll4ilh Will tL lci III uA'I vi OV
ounces of milk and six tablespoons OF
maltose. In fact, ] think less mill,
would be just as we'll and the nutri-
ton increased by the use of cereals.
The poor start is responsible for tho
baby's inability to sit up, and | would
add cod liver oil and orange juice tc
the diet as we'll as vegetables now.
Prune juice is good for constipation.
but it shouldn't replace orange juice
in the diet
Mrs. NJ. H.-Instead of giving your
baby so much less milk than she
should have, you are really giving her
a double-strength milk and giving
three ounces at each feeding. If she
is fed seven times It day, that is 81
ounces, and the amount for baby
of Is pounds is 2215, so you see you
are not far of, after all, and that
is probably why the baby is doing so
well. You won't need to add cereal to
the baby's diet since she already gets
so much cereal in the milk dilutent.
| would give orange juice daily and
cod liver oil, otherwise / think you
are to be commended for your excel
lent care of the baby, who is certainly
far better trained than most babies
three times her age.

The place Of clocks in the home
has been one Of importance ever since
these delicate ana fine umepieces were
first used as household accessories.
They are accorded different positions
with the fashions Of different periods,
and as the clocks assume different
styles with the perfecting Of minute
meChaniSms.
In the days OF our forbears the tall
grandfather clock was scarcely more
priced than it IS today but it was n
valuable household equipment rather
than a treasured possession. We still
put it in the same prominent position,
in hall or dining room, preferably,
though frequently in the living rom
when the style of furnishing accOrds
with that Of the clock.
This tall and dignitied clock does not
figure in the general run of home fur
niture, however, for the less Conspicu-
Gus types are apt to be less costly, and
some of them come within the ranks
of the cheap household equipments.
The latter are merely utilitarian and
should be kept in the background, not
the foreground, Of decoration.
Suitability.
1t sometimes is a bit perplexing to
KNOW just Wfldl IL Inc BtSL p4tlJE lOL
the modern clock. 1t does not figure
so definitely as I mantel ornament in
living rooms as at one period. 1t
seems to suggest the time Of day-or
evening-almost too prominently, so
fashion has suggested. 1t seems some
thing of a question whether the guest
should be considered of paramount i'm
portance or whether those OF the
household should have the convenience
of the timepiece. 1t would seem as if
the family should come first. One way
to compromise in the matter IS to stop
the clock when entertaining more than
the casual caller. This is often done,
and is considered a courtesy. Instead
OF the clock striking the hour of 10 or
IL as much as 10 say, "See how late
it is?" it is mute and it's hands are
still.

found that it is best to take these
