BABY,S LAYETTE

In some states the movies are not
allowed to show pictures Of q young
mother-to-be sewing on baby clothes,
but whether the movies show them or
not, the clothes have to be made.
Over . million couples q year are
married In the United States, and
you can figure for yourself. that quite
. little sewing must be done before
the stork appears.
Tho baby's clothing should be light
In weight and fairly loose, and it
should be made Of n~on-irritating and
no~n-Scratchy material. The first
rule q to make the baby's clothes
simple. The baby should not be kept
too warm. and he should be allowed
the freedom Of kicking his legs and
wriggling his arms. Dresses that are
yards In length and are uncomfort-
ably warm or combining are no longer
popular with physicians. The fewer
clothes q baby has to wear, the
healthier it will be and the SUMMER
its disposition.
The undergarments should always
be made Of silk o. cotton, and not
flannel II the climate Is cold q
wooden Wrapper or wooden blanket
may Be- thrown over. The garments
should be designed 50 that they can

hard buttons, snaps or safety pins.
II the clothing opens down the front
he can be dressed with much less
handling, as too much handling has
. tendency to upset his digestion.
During the warm days 1t Is wise to
keep the baby as cool as possible.
Remember that babies get warm
quicker than you do because their
bodily heat Is higher. II 1t is too
warm to wear q sweater, yourself, 1t is
certainly too warm to put one on the
baby. During the warm weather all
he needs to wear Is q cotton shirt and
. diaper, and his feet should be bare
during the warmer part Of the day.
A clean blanket may be placed on
the floor on which the baby car play
with no unnecessary clothes to
hamper him.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Erenthemia
Question: Mrs. C. j. G.. asks: will
you kindly advise the meaning Of the
medical term 'erethemia multiform'?
Is its cause known and can it be
cured?"
Answer: Erenthemia simply means
an inflammation Of the skin. The
multiform is accompanied with pa
pules and tubercles which last for
several days, usually accompanied by
headache and pains. The usual cause
is q equity or rheumatic tendency.
The use Of a cleansing diet regime,
using a fast for the first two weeks,
should prove helpful.
Meat Broth
Question: Mrs. H. ]. asks: rs
there any food value in meat broth?"
Answer: There Is not much food
value in meat broth. Most of the
protein remains in the meat, and the
acids are the broth.

Question: Mrs. M. F. w. asks:

sidered normal blood pressure? Does

p~res;ure?"
Answer: I am sending you an

will explain to you just what is con.
stdered normal blood pressure. Alti-
tude does not make any particular
difference in the blood pressure.

AMan Reviled

Why should Thomas Jefferson, an eighteenth-century
dest, be held . saint while Thomas Paine. another
eighteenth-century deist, is, or long has been, a name
lgnorantly abhorred by many and not fortunately served
by those who have made him their peculiar patron? !
The service Of Common Sense to American independ-
ence was generally acknowledged in 1776. Issued in jan
uary. In three months $4,000 copies had been printed.
That was an unparalleled circulation for those .days:
and every copy must have had many readers. The argu-
ment for separation couldn't have been put more plainly
and logically. Washington said that it worked q power

Today the reader Of 1.-THE Rights Of Man" so moderate
and cogent, wonders at the storm It raised in England
until he tries to imagine the passions Of 1893. But 1t

Of readers. which, assisted by political p~rejudices. by
quarrels. by Paine's own pugnacity and vanity, and most
ly by the lies Of James Cheetham and others. blacklisted
Paine. It seems harmless enough now, even II some
passages, in the eighteenth-century manner. offend.
Paine was no saint. but he was one Of the liveliest, all
around rebels that ever rebelled. Most men and women
who have had their lives written never seem to have
lived. Paine lived copiously, rapidly and adventurously.
To keep pace with him q biography must maintain light
ming speed.
He Is not known today for what he was. by what he
did or BY what he wrote. but by what his enemies and
unsympathetic critics said Of him. His martyrdom did
not end with his death.

New Traffic Problems

Motor buses properly and considerately operated are
an important public convenience, and there is justhica-
ton for allowing them to use the public highways under
necessary. supervision. When allowed such franchises,
hoWevE. they should be bound BY the conditions Of the
toad and the rules that apply to other vehicles. and the
growing practice Of endansering other motorists and
their own passengers In the order to make time should
b stamped out.
Bus operators. faced with the necessity Of maintaining
fast time schedules, often have an incentive to abuse the
privileges Of the road and endanger life and property.
Nothing win b gained by penalizing them for reckless
ness II their employers penalise them for failure to
maintain their schedules.

companies That their machines must stay within the law

These warnings really mean something.
Arbitrary and unreasonable regulations, however, win

pulut les than the maximum at which buses can travel
with comparative safety Is to encourage violation Of the
