Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDREp.

Because we have so long looked upon
blackheads as indicative of dirt and all
inadequate cleansing of the skin Itself,
it is difficult to realize in most cases
that blackheads on the faces of babies
and children are due to something in
ternally awry, and that something"
is very frequently an excess of fat in
the diet.
Now, nursing babies can get black
heads in only one way, which is from
too rich breast milk, so that the end
of blackheads comes not by any change
of soap or a different method of bath
ing, but by the mothers taking more
exercise, eating less rich foods and
nursing baby at more infrequent in
tervals.
Another method of dealing with the
too rich breast milk problem-equally
as effective for the baby who is gaining
too much weekly and has indigestion
or collie as for the baby who has bleack-
headS--is to nurse only a short time on
each breast rather than a full nursing
period on one. The last milk drawn
from the breast is the richest.
The bottle baby whose skin is marred
by blackheads may be taking a formula
that is far too rich. Some cows milk
is very rich in fats, and while the baby
may gain very well, too rich a milk
causes loss of appetite and other ind
cations of too much fat.
When the baby is receiving additional
foods, the common fats appearing ii,
the diet are cod liver oil, butter and
bacon. 1t is all very we'll for baby to
have cod liver oil daily but he shouldn't
have too much, nor should he have lib
eral quantities of bacon, butter and
cream or he is all too apt to have not
only blackheads, but eczema as we'll.
Mrs. G. L. has an unusual case in
that her baby is SO very, very young
only weeks old-and has developed
blackheads on cheeks, chin and lobes
of ears. She is using CASTLE soap and
is at loss to understand the condition
or how to alter it.
Those mothers whose children have
been troubled with this same condition
have found that as soon as the excess
OF fat Is removed from the diet the
skin condition clears up Immediately
without external aids, or a different
method In the care of the skin, just the
elimination of the offending fat element,
and the blackheads disappear.
would suggest four-hour nursing
periods, Mrs. G. L. A teaspoonful or
more of water before each nursing and
the other suggestions mentioned above
should end this condition speedily.

South, as we'll as its rights OF property
there. now has changed It's position and
is supporting the President. This al
tered attitude is evidenced by its con-
firmation of the nomination of Hon.
joseph Holt of Kentucky to be Secre-
tary of War by a vote of 38 to ID. The
vote came after fierce struggle. Those
Southern Senators who favor the Sc
cession of their States voted against
confirmation.
It was learned here today that the Vir-
ginia House of Delegates has voted down
resolution proposed by Mr: Newton OF
Henrico declaring the destiny of Vir-
ginia to be with the Gulf States. Word
has also been received that, after an
exciting debate, the Georgia conven-
ton, by vote of 100 to 100, has or
dered secession ordinance to be
drafted and reported.
Sixty-two United States soldiers from
Fort Clinton, West Point, arrived here
early this morning on an early CTdln
from Baltimore. They are part of Com
pany A, Engineer Corps, and are under
the command of Lieut.. James A. Du-
ane and Lieut.. Weitzel. On their ar
rival they marched to the Columbian
Armory, where they are now quartered.
A cookhouse has been erected outside
the armory Mess tables have been
built in the artillery room, on the lower
floor, and stoves put up on the third
floor, which is the dormitory.
In a couple of hours after their ar
rival they were as much at home in
the Columbian Armory as though they
had always lived there. Their hunks
were prepared, arms and accouterments
slowed neatly away and the men, in
fatigue dress, were lounging about, chat
ting. smoking their pipes and conversing
with visitors.
There are 1000 stands of arms be-
longing to the Government in this ar
mory, besides pieces of field ord
nance and other military stores of
value. The Importance of having them
duly guarded in these filibustering times
Is apparent.

Sabine Barring Gould, the well-known
English clergyman and writer, was ex-
tremely skeptical himself. But his &C
count of the strange happenings at his
home, Lew Trenchard," would make it
appear that the place was haunted by
a ghoSt-or ghosts.
Lew Trenchard" was an inheritance.
He had spent his boyhood and his
young manhood there, and in turn
raised his own children there. There
was a tradition that the ghost of an
ancestor, Familiarity known as "Old
Madam" sometimes walked the corri-
doris of the manor house. Barring
Gould had no youthful experiences with
the apparition, but he relates that his
mother and sister claimed to have had
them.
He classified as "rats" and breaking
of timbers" the sounds which they at
tributed to supernatural causes.
Nevertheless, while his own family
was growing up, he came IN contact
with circumstances which might, had
he been different person, shaken his
skepticism.
His daughter Barbara, later Mrs. L. F.
Barnard, insisted that she frequently
saw lady in blue who would come into
her nursery, stoop over to look at her,
and sometimes sit beside her bed.
Diana, another daughter, who be-
came Mrs. H. M. Batten, was dan
gerously Ill as child. A trained nurse
was hired to look after her. This
woman was supposed to remain awake
But one night she dozed off.
After time she was awakened by a
knock on the door. AS she started up
the voice of woman said: 1T is time
for her to have her medicine"
1t was the dead of night. The nurse
ran to the door to find out who had
spoken. No one was there.
In the morning she described the
incident to Mrs. Barring Gould.
ut was not l." was her comment.
Barring Goulds explanation of these
incidents was that the spectral person
was probably one of his servants. But
he does not offer such a solution in the
case of his daughter Beatrice.
This child was i'll from the combined
effects of whooping cough and cutting
teeth. The father, believing the nurse
girl was not capable of looking after
her in the night, suggested to Mrs.
Barring Gould that she sleep with the
ailing infant.
About the middle Of the night, Mrs.
Barring Gould went to her husbands
room.
IT cannot Sleep" she said. 81 hear

Barring Gould sat up In bed and
argued with her.

The u. S. S. Porter has a proud war

ment. It's executive officer. Lieut. Har-
old L. Conner, was in charge during
the absence of Comdr. Yeandel this
night. Lieut.. Common has engaged in
many thrilling adventures; too many to
enumerate.
Recently the public has heard much
concerning the activities of the Coast
Guard service and has come to regard
it as solely functioning as a rum
chasing" unit It is more than that.
The official regulations stipulate the
general duties of the Coast Guard as
follows:
"(a) Rendering assistance to vessels
In distress and saving life and property.
"(b) Protection of the customs rev.
enue (This includes rum chasing)
"(c) Destruction or removal OF
wrecks, derelicts or other dangers to
navigation.
"(d) Extending medical aid to United
States vessels engaged in deep-sea
fisheries.
"(e) operating as a part of the Navy
shall so direct.
20 Enforcement of rules and regu-
lations governing anchorage of vessels.
"(g) Enforcement CT laws relating to
immigration. quarantine and neutrality.
"th) Suppression of mutinies on mer-
chant vessels.
"G) Enforcement Of navigation and
other laws governing merchant vessels
and motor boats.
'.GD Enforcement of law to provide
for safety Of life on navigable waters
during regattas or marine parades.
"(k) Protection of game and the seal
and other fisheries in Alaska, etc.
I'D Enforcement of sponge fishing
law.
"(m) Administering oaths generally
in Alaska.
"(n) Collecting statistics regarding
loss of life and property on vessels"
1t can readily be seen that rum

tions of the Coast Guard, of which

The flagship had radioed the officer

He was then to put a boat over the
side containing a crew of men and a

Tapestry embroidery continues to be
a favorite form of decorative stitchery.
1t is variety that holds its own re-
markably. Nor Is this strange, for it is
an embroidery of great antiquity once
worked on warp threads on loom. Now
1t is done on specially woven textiles
in which threads of warp and wool cross
at right angles, leaving spaces to SIM
plify the counting of threads. On such
textiles there can be the same preci-
sion of stitchery that is found in an
tique tapestry.
It should be remembered, however,
that all such tapestry is replica work.
Genuine tapestries are loom embroider-
ed on a woven textile. This does not
prevent modern tapestry embroidery
from being exquisite. 1t is a matter OF
technical difference that is stressed,
although it cannot be denied that the
original is by far the more difhcult,
intricate and laborious. Modern tapes

arduous.
