Home Making Helps
Door Stops a s m m G r
Necessity.
BY Wanda Barton

nOOR STOPS are among Sum.
mer needs when open windows
and doors create many cross
currents and induce doors to slam.
In olden days a carpet covered brick,
a coral group or a conch shell an
swered the purpose. Sometimes a
pot with a growing plant in II was
used for special occasions.
Today stops are much more amb.-
tious as evidenced by a wonderful
brass peacock with fully spread tail
outlined against the door. a wrought
iron cat with a bushy tail and re-
markedly fascinating yellow eyes. and
sOmber iron minute men doing their
duty nobly.
The modern fancy FOR ships finds
them IN heavy brass models serving
as stops. The Mayflower. old Con-
stitution. Spanish gallsons. and mod
ern torpedo boats. a ~bewildering
choice for a boys room or the den.
In the painted iron stops there are
many delightful subjects. There Is
a little nurse holding a most lovable
baby suitable for the nursery door.
or a choice OF Mother Goose char
aCterS IN gay cOloFS.
Baskets Of flowers are always liked
and they come In three sizes.
The wooden soldier OF painted iron,
IS another favorite. He stands
straight and stiff with his white
trousers creased and his red sash
tied in a perfect bow and loop A
brilliantly painted rooster Is rather
a newcomer. but he II a noble bird.

for their especial door. With all
these helpers there is no Reuse for

many at the more desirable stops is
rather prohibitive.

nealth's sake L must have an abundance Of
water.
Everybody knows how necessary It is that the
water supply should be pure. No city is consid-
cred a civilized community unless it has an album
dant water supply. The highest progress the city
is making in the protection of health Is proven by
the care given to securing a supply Of pure
water. In most communities it is safe for
grown-ups to make use of the city water for
drinking purposes.
But what is true of adults Is not true of
babies. The digestive processes of infants are
so delicate that they are more easily disturbed
than adults are. 1t is not safe to give to tiny
babies water which the adult may safely drink.
The city water may be quite good enough and
safe enough for Us, but it will probably be en-
tirely unsuited for the infant.

Yet Young men and women who have been

In fact, this impulse to flock to cities has
