If you want new rug for your
porch or for your Summer cottage now
is the time to make it and have it ready
when the warm days come and these
places will be calling to you to enjoy
them.
There are many kinds Of rugs that
require but a short time to make and
which can be used appropriately on
porches and in Summer places. The
differences may consist in varying crafts
employed, or in varying mediums from
which the floor coverings are con-
Structed. Croclleting is favorite craft.
With. the heavy medium used, the work
progresses with great rapidity. Braid
ing IS another and IAN old-times rug
Knitting can be employed success
fully when the worker takes into con-
siderationi the elasticity Of the work
and uses 1t to advantage. Hooked rug
work is on the crest of wave o
popularity. Punch work rugs are veeT

similar to hooked work that the D.a1e
hooked rug is given to the flniSAed

What now ensued is most interest
ingly told in Miss Bates own language,
as used in her report to the English
Society for Psychic Research.
IT went to this chemist" she relates,
ION the pretext of buying some bortc
acid, and asked him if by any chance
he had lived at 35 Trumpington street
80 years tgo. He answered in the az
frmative. I then asked him II he
recollected lodging student Of Peter
house of such and such name.
1.-THE chemist replied that he remem-
bered him and that the young man had
inhabitated his lodgings for 10 months.
He proved 1t by showing me photo
graph of him. taken with a big dog
called Leo. When I asked him what
room the young man had occupied he
said: The large room over the kitchen,
adjoining the small sitting room Now,
sleep in that very room and use the
some sitting ROOM"
In her report TO the English Society
for Psychic Research Miss Bates de-
clared that before taking the lodgings
in Trumpington street she never had
been in Cambridge. Neither had she
known anything about her would-be
husbands quarters, for it was not until
after he had left Peterhouse College
that she had more than a slight &C
quaintance with him.
Apparently his nocturnal visits soon
ceased. Interestingly, Miss Bates had
no knowledge whether he was at the
time dead or alive.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs, M. I, b. writes: "Since every
one Is writing about their babies,
want to tell you what good results I
have obtained through early training,
by taking baby outdoors every day no
matter what the weather. even during
this past Winter when it was very cold.
HE is now ii months old and has
10 teeth; has walked since he was 9k
months old and Is beginning to talk
plainly. He has a healthy, rosy COM
plexion and weighs more than twenty
six pounds.
"He was bottle fed and up to six
months had four-hour feelings and no
night feelings. I believe in letting the
stomach rest at night. have been
feeding him orange juice, cereal and
soups since his sixth month. He now
gets whole milk. He loves to play out
in the sand and Is always taken for an
older child. He sleeps from is to ID
hours, and credit this to the fresh air
and sunshine that made him so strong
and healthy.
my older child eight years old. never
had a cold. She was also bottle
baby, so there is nothing to the idea
that breast-fed babies are the healthiest.
I feed them regularly, teach them to
drink from cup and give them plenty
of water from the beginning"
Answer-Your results are just what
ought to be expected from such a
sensible and consistent routine. But
don't make the mistake of making gen
eral statements on the strength OF two
examples. Comparing bottle and breast
fed babies by the thousands land not
lust two babies) gives us our figures
that the breast milk is the safest food
for babies, and that breast-fed babies
are on the whole more intelligent, bet
ter nourished and develop In all ways
more rapidly than the bottle-fed baby.
We must not disparage breast feed
ing even though the results OF bottle
feeding in your two cases have been
eminently satisfactory.
Mrs. D. M. L., writes: II made a nice
soft pad for my card table and have
used it from the day of first weakened
bathing ordeal until now, when baby Is
one year old. Because the table is low
1t is comfortable to sit in front OF 1t
and it is wide enough to hold the
basket and clothes"
To Mrs. w. o, B.: In order to pro-
tect baby from digging out his eyes or
scratching his face in those first weeks
of indiscriminate handwriting. we have
to keep the small nails well trimmed.
Sometimes they fluff of, but II they
do not they should be trimmed closely
with blunt scissors.

Strange were the happenings that
late week in May when Katherine
Bates, the British authoress, went down
TO Cambridge TO take lodgings at No.
IS Trumpington street.
Her fellow lodger, Miss Wales, was
away, and so Miss Bates spent the first
night alone.
Or did she?
It turned out to be a terrible night.
Repeatedly dreams came to her con-
corning former lover. Once he had
been closely linked into her existence,
but now, for many years, she had not
seen or heard of him. Tonight he kept
reproaching her. First he said, An,
but you were wrong not to marry me, +"
and again, "You see, when you refused
me, you side-tracked yourself for life"
She would awaken and then fall
asleep again. But scarcely would her
eyes close than the erstwhile lover re-
appeared. Always he renewed his re-
proaches.
once, while she was awake, she still
felt his presence strongly.

claimed. II have none but kindly feel
ings for you, but you persist in tor
menting me, and you thus prove that l
should have been unhappy had mar
ried YOU. In the name Of the Holy
Trinity. I command you to leave me in
peace"
Presently she fell into a fitful slum-
Der. But she was not free of her
troublesome visitor. Twice more dur
ing the week he came back. Utterly
upset, she described her experiences to
Miss Wales, who had now returned.
"The room seems haunted by that
man." she said.
This idea, which she had not hith-
erto voiced, led to other speculation.
Should PeterhouSe College be near
by?" she asked her friend. II ask be-
cause about 80 years ago this man was
educated at a college of that name"
why, yes" replied Miss Wales. I'll

Miss Bates wondered If her old lover
had perhaps lived in this same house
in his college days. She could think
of no other reason why ne should haunt
her room so much. To conduct sue
cessful inquiry after so long period Of
time had elapsed seemed impossible, but
she decided to do so.
She went first to her 1andlady, who
had had the lodgings for II years, she
learned. Before then they had been in
the hands of a couple who since hao
left town and died. Prior to that a
certain Mr.. Peck, now chemist in the
! next street, had been the proprietor.

1t is a scientifically established fact
that there is close relation between
the mind and the body. Men OF
science tell US that many of our bodily
ailments are traceable to ugly mental
moods. But our own experience and
common observation tell us the same
thing. We know from our own expert
ence that our mental moods vitality at
feet digestion and other functions OF
the body. A similar CORRESPONDENCE
between the actions of the mind. and
the body may readily be seen In others,
II we observe them at all,
OF all the moods of the soul, anger
is one of the most fierce. And Its eff
fects upon the body are terrific. It dis
turbs and upsets the whole nervous
system to such an extent that long
after spell of anger one suffers feel
ing of real illness. There is scarcely
anything that more quickly deranges
the digestion. Anger. especially uncon-
trolled anger; brings on headache and
other ailments. If persisted in, 1t will

anger is headed for physical break

Many yield to anger upon the slight

self-control. They are always mad
about something. No wonder they are
always complaining about something
being the matter with them. No won

no doctor can cure their ailments I'M
less he can, cure their anger habit As
long as they persist in this habit, there
will be no end of their complaint about
poor health.

shape. Success to the actor would mean
a fortune. Failure-well, he didn't dare
think about 1t.
The player had written part for
himself In the production, and, as a
matter of fact, had cast himself as star.
Financially, he was just about sunk
when the show opened. 1t proved to
be a hit and the playwright, over
by his good fortune, he continued to
write plays, and today wealth, health
and happiness are his. But suppose
