SUMMERTIME
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.

August and September always revive
the ancient myth that golden rod
brings misery to hay-feyer sufferers,
and that, even if you don't ordinarily
have hay fever, you will catch it" If
you have any traffic with the gay and
hardy tribe of golden rod (and its
species are legion.
Almost any pollen, even of the be-
loved rose, may induce hay fever II

viding you have specific sensitivity TO
that kind of pollen. But goldenrod
pollen, floating freely on the air, is
another thing-and a most unlikely
one. Ragweed and its relatives and
hops dump literally tons of pollen every
season into the blue and sprightly airs
of September. Goldenrod is no such
culprit. After some years of cutting of
the head of this myth, I am convinced
that it is hydra and will never die,
because people seem to like to believe
in it.
The goldenrod is not yet at its height
We must wait week or two for that,
but by the time 1t is drug on natures
market it is too common for remark.
To me, the first fieck Of golden foam
in the woods, around the marshes of the
Potomac, brings almost hint of sad
ness, for it signals Summers end, Au-
tumn's beginning. To pick little
goldenrod land it is one flower that will

Mrs. r. D. writes: IT had my baby
weighed a week ago, and to my sur
prise she only weighed % pounds. She
is years and months old and
weighed 101a pounds when she was
born. She IS very small featured and
boned.
She walked at II months and start
ed to talk at months. She had 16
teeth at 1 year and 20 at 16 months.
She is the youngest of seven children
and five years between her and the
sixth child Would that account for
her being frail?
"She is very clever and can remember
things that happened year ago. She
is also fond of dancing, and can copy
a dance step after seeing it done only
once.
Her daddy bought her bicycle this
morning. Is she too young to use it. or
should put it away? How shall feed
her to bring her weight up? She has
had an earache all this week due to
cold. Is hot water all right to use?"
Answer. If the child were really a
frail child she wouldn't have weighed
101s pounds at birth, for that in itself
shows that she really should be a
hearty, robust child. Her extremely low
weight now must be due to the way
she has been fed from infancy, for she

Stuffed Eggs in a Nest.

Cut some hard-boiled eggs in halves
lengthwise. Remove the yolks and put
the whites aside in pairs. Mash the
yolks and add half the amount OF
deviled ham and enough melted butter
to make of the consistency to shape.
Make in balls the size of the original
yolks and refill the whites. Form the
remainder of the mixture into a nest.
Arrange the eggs in the nest and pour
over one cupful of white sauce. Sprinkle

you how she should be fed. Meanwhile,
1 should have her given a thorough
physical examination by baby Spe-
cialist to discover what may be so
hampering her development.
The bicycle riding won't hurt her;
she is quite old enough for this. 1t is
chiefly because she is so tiny that she
seems like a baby, for in age she is
nearly years old and entirely out of

Earaches can develop into such dan
gerous ailments that it were better to
have the ear looked at when you go to
the doctor. The usual procedure for
just an earache without any secretion
is to use irrigations of quite hot water
running from douche bag (held low
into and out of the ear. The heat
helps to clear up the congestion. If
there is the least discharge from the
ear, let the doctor advise the treatment
