YOUR
 CHILDREN
WN;pRokeyzxRax1U
0i95IBNNfA SERVICE:

Opinions change, and medical opinions change. too. almost with the weather.
 The care of babies Is no exception and the mother who thought she was very up-to-date ten or fifteen years ago with her aftiseptics and solutions now finds that she is de- cidedly back number.
 When I was little, smart young fellow in the next seat in school once put this riddle to me behind his geography: Would you rather be Chinaman or have seven holes in your face?" @ s
 had hard time deciding and phantly that I already had seven holes in my face. v It is for these seven holes" in new baby's face that the old-time mother had her bottle of. solutions something for his two. eyes, an- other for his nostrils, special drops for his ears, and a thorough going wash for his mouth. M
 Proceed With Caution!
 Now what does the doctor usu- ally tell the young mother? That unless the mouth develops thrush or white spots 1t Is better to let 
 to the tiny oral cavity. For he has learned that d strong finger swath- ed in cotton and. dipped in the sol- utfon and vigorous rubbing of gums and tongue did far more harm to delicate membranes and soft bones than any ordinary germs that might be there.
 If any such washing is done now, it is performed with the greatest caution, and only under orders. Of course, mouth trouble does devel- op sometimes and must be treated, but the practice of daily scrubbing Absolute cleanliness of anything with which his lips come in con- tact is the best antiseptic.
 The same is true of the eyes. We used to have eye solutions dropped into the eyes daily at bath time. Now, although in some cases a baby's eyes do have to have special treatment, the general practice is to dip a little clean cotton into plain boiled water and wash around them. The natural eye fluid does the rest if the eyes are perfectly healthy. The best wash for irritated eyes is a very weak boracic solution.
 Ears seldom need anything eith- gently. only the outer ears should be cleansed.
 Nostrils the same, using clean cotton for each nostril, of course. If the opening has crusted de- posit a drop of sweet oil (pure and clean) in each nostril little while before the bath will soften it. If a brown scale appears on the scalp, soften it too, with a little sweet oil and then wash. Oil or a little white vaseline may be rub bed in gently afterwards and left on, for sometimes 1t takes several days to get rid of the scale. Never scrape or rub 1t hard. A soft brush Or towel gently applied will help to remove 1t.

New lamp shades do much to give a room a new look, but for complete transformation there is nothing like a set of new hangings. These may
 be made at home if care is exer- cised in every step from measuring to hanging. A group of women took a course in window curtaining and learned things like this:
 A glass curtain hangs from a rod fastened to the frame of the window. The curtains should come to the sill. Some decorators have them hang to the apron, but that length is better for easement curtain. A easement curtain is used in place of the com bination of glass curtain with over drapery. It Is usually called a draw curtain since 1t is hung on a draw or traverse rod which is strung with rings and a cord. By pulling the cord the curtains are opened or closed.

Chalk up another scoop for War ner Brothers State, for on We'd hesday next the feature presentation will show Mctro-Goldw Mayer $ talking picture adaptation of "The Easiest Way" with Constance Ben nett starred. This is the famous Belasco stage classic which is credit ed with having changed the whole trend of thought on sex matters from Victorian to modern standards
 '"The Easiest Way when intro- duced on the stage by Frances Starr in 1909. created an international sensation because it was the motely that man could for give woman who mad made a mis- step. It was the first move for the abolition of the single standard in favor of the double standard of morality.
 It also did away with the starkly black william of the old-time the ater. BrocKton, played by Adolphe Menjou, Is no saint, but likewise he doesn't eat children alive. He is a very modern, very successful man. His villainy consists of tempting the beautiful Laura Murdock, played by Miss Bennett. with luxuries, jewels, motor cars, etc.
 And then along comes Madison, portrayed by Robert Montgomery. He, too, has things in his life that he wants to forget. The struggle of Laura and Madison for their hap piness provides the dramatic mo- tivation.

 During the morning Corrinne dis covered that the new girl was in- clined to be talkative. She was rest less and her eyes roved over the store, again and again. Corrinne learned that she had been ill the day before, but that she had worked in the store for several months.
