Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

1t is a constant mystery TO me that
some mothers can remain SO calm in
the presence of illnesses while other
mothers would fly for immediate help.
Now there is virtue in remaining
calm; there is also a place where
passively should end, and this place
is reached when a child is really Ill
and needs expert attention.
When child has temperature for
12 hours or longer and this does not
yield to the ordinary methods EN-
ployed by the mother, it is certainly
time to find out what is wrong. Ii
the mother has stopped the regular
food and has given plain barley OF
rice water in place of milk feelings.
or nothing but boiled water or weak
tea: has kept the baby in bed; has
given an enema and a milk laxative,
she has done all she can to help the
baby recuperate from minor illness
If these methods do not result in 6
gradual loss of the temperature she
should not waste more time, but
should consult a doctor.
Mothers write in to this department
and describe rashes which have broken
out on the baby and wonder If they
should see a doctor. If such rashes are
accompa anied by fever one should nor
wait until a baby is very Ill before
starting the treatment which will re-
suit in speedy recovery. Rashes
NAV be due to many things, but the
rashes which come from food and
from heat do not cause real illness and
L
the baby very uncomfortable. While
it is easy to comfort oneself that
babies do get high feVers for com
paratively small causes, no baby gets
a fever for no cause at all, and Ii
the fever is the result of an indiscreet
diet, the correction of the diet. quiet
and an enema will quickly relieve 1t.
Every mother should he provided
with a thermometer and taught how
to read it The height of the tempera
ture is a sure indication OF real illness
Just to feel a child's forehead and
try to determine if he has or Easn I
fever is inadequate. The thermometer
tells the story without guessing.
When a child has a vomiting spell,
for which the previous days menu
cannot account; when there is un
usual activity of the bowels and both
of these conditions are accompanied
by rising temperature, it is better to
have the doctor promptly, and begin
corrective treatment Immediately
rather than wait until the child Is
weakened, perhaps beyond help.
One cannot think up all the probable
| cases when a doctor might be needed
| but it is safe to say that any mother
knows when a child is i'll; and when
as said before, her home meas
ures for cure do not result in imme
date improvement. it is wiser ant
| safer to call doctor.

HOW 1T STARTED
Getting Into a "Serape. "
BY JEAN NEWTON.

Today, to get into "scrape' is to
get into almost any kind of trouble
but in the times in which the phrase
f1rst began to be used it signiffed a
particular kind of trouble arising out
Of local conditions.
The expression was born in the days
when most of England was forest land
and when deer. running wild over the
country, cut sharp gullies between the
trees.
These gullies We're known as s'deer
scrapes': and because it was very
much easier to get into them than to
climb out. getting or falling into a
"scrape" came to take on wider sig
nificance.
According to the authority of CO.
temporary clergyman, the Rev. II. I.
Ellacombe. in 1903, saw a woman
walking through Powderham Park,
Devon, and while attempting to cross
the stag's "scrape" she was killed by

making less confusing the operation
of the restaurant. You are not In the
least obligated to show appreciation TO
him. unless. perhaps. he has made an
effort to get for you a special table
that you could not otherwise have had
or made the way smooth for you In
some particular manner.
If your own waiter has, in serving
your meal. been especially attentive,
and you feel appreciative of his excel
lent service--then, with tip in pro-
portion to your check. you express
your satisfaction at his effort.
The business of going about on ones
ravels. handing change here and
there for fancied favors-because one
feels that tipping is expected-is. in
my opinion, a thing to discourage good
service rather than to encourage 1t.

The Higher the Fewer.

Although this deals with a familiar
institution peculiar to our own coun.
try. ii came to me during a recent
trip overseas. TO be exact, it came
from British sources.
1t was claimed that an English
man visiting America for the first
time had occasion, at a small way
station and at late hour, to board
a through train. He had had no prior
experience with our sleeping cars
and, since there were no facilities
for making reservations at the point
where he got in, he threw himself
upon the mercy of the porter, who
in the absence Of a regular Pullman
conductor. was in charge.
AS he sat in the smoking compart-

Digestion of Foods.

Before you can diet intelligently
either to reduce your weight or to III
crease it, or. which is as important
to build up your health and even i'm.
prove your looks, you must under
stand something of the digestive
process.
Food consists of carbohydrates, pro
tein, fat and water. Chemically. carbo'
hvdrates are compounds OF carbon,
hydrogen and oXygen-starch, celiu-
lose, grape, cane and fruit sugars, etc.
Carbohydrates are heating and give
the body a great deal of energy;
armies on the march are given daily
rations of sugar, mountain climbers
carry sweet chocolate, and it Is more
than g. sweet tooth" that makes an
active child crave candy between
meals.
Protein combines some of the carbo-
hydrate elements-carbon. hydrogen,
oxygen and also nitrogen and sulphur.
Eggs are rich in protein. so is milk, SO
is meat There are vegetable proteins:
these are harder to digest. and often
pass through the body undigested. Ii
we went into the details of what hap
pens during the digestive and break
ing up processes of proteins it might
chemical laboratory. so weH go on
to fats.
Chemically. fat also provides the
three great elements, carbon, hydro
gen and oxygen, but with more car
bon and less oxygen. Therefore rat,
burned in the body during digestion,
gives a great deal of heat. Fat and
oil are the same. the chief difference
being the melting point. Fat itself is
insoluble in water. but component
parts. like fatty acids and glycerln,
are soluble.
This is elementary and dull, but
necessary, like many dull bits or IN
formation. You must know what food
is composed of and its effect. in order
to choose wisely.
