Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

About every other letter opened
these days. says: MY baby has had a
cold and I wonder If 1t Is all right to
take her outdoors? Shall battle her
daily as usual while she has this cold?"
When baby has cold and this Is
accompanied by fever. it is wise always
to have a doctors advice on the med
ical treatment. The mother can help
by keeping the child quiet, by a judi
cious selection of food. by keeping the
temperature Of the house even and
with plenty Of moisture. 1t does not
hurt the baby to have a daily bath--in
fact. 1t Is beneficial to him. Do not
take the baby out II 1t Is raining. or
generally disagreeable. as so considered
by the mother. Keep plenty OF fresh
air in the baby's room, and this can
be done without materially lowering
the temperature by using cloth screen
at the window, keeping up the heat and
using a large. shallow kettle Of some
sort for the evaporation Of water near
the heat.
Babies who take cold at the slightest
breath OF fresh air are certainly not IN
good condition. The breathing Of hot,
dry air constantly Is conducive to colds.
anu tlic way W prevent tilIo ID W hcCP
the air in the house moist and take
the child out every day. barring the
above exceptions. from the beginning
of colder weather. II the child Is
underweight and undernourished: II he
Is overly fat. due to overlooking or an
overabundance of fat-making foods: II
he has enlarged adenoids and tonsils,
decayed teeth or infected nasal pas
sages, he will be more than likely to
give a welcome berth to cold germs
Such conditions are only temporarily
helped by medicines: the mother must
recognize that healthy child Is not
easily upset by changes of temperature,
too few clothes. an unusual and indi-
gestible meal. while the child who is
below average will react to most of
these situations by taking cold"
Also one must not forget that most
diseases are ushered in with what
seems to be a cold AS said in the
opening paragraph. babies with colds
and fever should be under the care of
a doctor. and this means small chill
dren, too. Barring fever. the usual
rest. light food. and a moist, even tenn
perature will in few days bring
relief from the trouble.

Are City Children Brighter?

A yardstick would decide whether city
children are taller than country chill
dren. We have a measuring stick for
brightness. though We can't be sure that
1t is the right one. Several hundred
children from two rural districts in
Indiana, the one poor agriculturally
and the other fairly good. were tested
by the same tests as were as many city
children of the same ages, the majority
from 10 TO Is years old. The city chill
dren clearly led in brightness by sew
eral lengths
Out OF 100 bright country children
you could select only so as bright as the
brighter city children. Fewer country
children would be very bright: proper
tionately more would be very dull.
There are more bright country children
where the land Is good: intelligence
follows the crops. A city boy Of 10
seems TO rank as we'll as country boy
of ili2 years.
The tests included mental work such
as memoriZing. arithmetic. telling the
opposites Of simple words. filling out
missing words in sentences. making
comparisons. reporting the details OF a
story and catching up TO the main
points. and other things that country
children who 60 TO school have Just as
good a chance of learning and finding
out for themselves as have city chill
dren. The city children do better in
every single one OF the 10 tests.
City life offers larger occasions for
learning things. Eyes and ears are

Love After Thirty.

Ruths been reading the newspapers

II seems that some wise man has
issued the statement that men simply
can't fall in love after they're 80 years
old-that the capacity for repturous love
Is not In them.
And Ruth's on the verge OF being
married TO Jim. who's 80.
OF course Jims been In love before.

BIG WOLF KILLED AT SINROCK

Last Saturday Sam Niupok. a Ma tive hunter who lives on the Sand Spit. killed a large gray timber wolf on Sinrock river. He brought the animal to town and it created quite a little excitement. Sam said that this particular wolf killed eight or ten reindeer the day he killed 1t. He would kill one deer and then. without eating a bit of it. would go and kill another, apparently for the pure fun of killing. The wolf meas used six feet three inches from tip to tip before he was skinned. The deer killed. Sam says. belonged to the Douglas herd.
 This is the first wolf to be killed in this section for a long time. It is feared that they will come to this section in bands like they are doing in other sections of Alaska. and if they do they will play havoc with the reindeer herds hereabouts.

ANOTHER DAY OF FUN

The Airplane Committee Of the Cha mber of Commerce. Chas. H.
 Milot, chairman, is making prepara- tions with Pilot Noel Wien. whc is now at Fairbanks. to leave early in the morning and arrive early in the afternoon at Nome. in order that moving pictures may be taken of the second annual delivery of air mail to Nome. It is planned that
 Wien will leave Fairbanks about seven a. m.. and arrive at Nome at about 3 D. m., and couple of hours of recreation can be enjoyed by the people of Nome with their dog teams, and in witnessing the arr!val of the plane on Snake river. It is planned to make movie of "where dog teams and airplanes meet" at Nome. Alaska. and we want every
 body who can spare the time to go to Snake river and after the plane has circled overhead several times and lands. then the signal will be given for dog teams and people to rush toward the airplane, which will by that time, have landed on the ice. The exchange of mail will then be made from plane to dog teams. etc.
 The object of all this is primar
 fly to advertise Nome and to as- sist us in getting more and better air mall service in the future. Nome is not the only place to be considered in this matter of mail and quick communication between points. We want to see the air plane put On a schedule and to carry mail to all the outlying sec tions on Seward Peninsula. and in this way. these isolated places that have neither telephone nor tele- graph stations will be given the benefit Of close contact with Nome for communication purposes. The Nugget can always be counted up- on to further this. or any other project, which will bring Nome and the outlying sections in closer touch with each other.
 Remember the plane leaves Fair ',onks Monday, April 18th, weather ''"rmitting. on the second subsldy air mail trip. So be on hand to do your bit in furthering plans for the future.
