but could do nothing for him politically.
When, Mckinley became President
Partridge went as consul general to
Tangier, but returned shortly to enter
the Vermont State Senate. He served
in this body for two years, from 1893
to 1900.
Business has occupied the greater
part of his time since then. He identi-
fled himself with the marble company
which the Proctor family owned and
controlled, and later became its prest-
dent.
Various other business interests
railroad, life insurance company and
the Proctor Trust Co.-claimed his
services. But his interest in public
service never Jagged. He found time to
rewrite the consular regulations in 1896,
served as chairman of a committee TO
propose amendments to the Vermont
constitution and was a member Of the
State Public Safety Committee.
Twice he was called upon by the Fed
eral Government to act as umpire in
diplomatic disputes, but because of the
press of business had to decline.
He did find time, however, in 1923,
to serve as one of the United States
delegates to the fifth Pan-American
Conference ct Santiago Chile.
Now at the age Of 90 he returns to
Washington to occupy a seat in the
body where his patron sat for SO long.
Married and the father of five chill
dren, Senator Partridge is affable,
courteous and distinguished. His YER
mont colleague in the Senate is six
years his junior-the tall, solemn
white haired Porter Human Dale.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The first year of a baby's life he Is
weighed once each week, completely
nude. The second year he is weighed
once a month nude. The third year
and thereafter he is weighed in ordinary
indoor clothes minus shoes, and every
six months is often enough, unless there
is reason for more frequent weighing.
For any mother interested in checking
up on her child's weight for his height
1 have weight and height charts. One
chart shows the average weights and
heights for children up to 6 years and
another for children over 6 years. A
self addressed, stamped envelope must
be incloSed with requests for leaflets.
Send no money, because the leaflets are
free.
Mrs. B. L. A. asks for the above in
formation in a letter in which she
laments the fact that her boy does not
eat a good breakfast. Now that he Is
ready to go to school, this has become
even more serious, as he will not eat
enough to keep him satisfied until noon.
She says: Il am anxious to know If you
have feeding leaflets for children this
age, and what shall do about break
faSt?"
Indeed we do have feeding leflets for
children of all ages. In writing for the
above leaflets on weights request the
and also a special leaf1et on Breakfasts
for the School Child" These leaflets
are not too large to go in one envelope.
Spurning breakfast is a bad habit
that grows upon one. Nervous children
who have too little sleep, children who
sleep in poorly ventilated rooms and
get up feeling stuffy and horrid, with
dark-brown tastes in their mouths lin
creased perhaps by mouth breathing) :;
children who have to hurry in order to
get to school on time-these are the
ones to whom breakfast looks odious.
Breakfasts may be monotonous in
content and while it is well to accustom
the child to the foods that are good
for him, despite some lack of variety, we
have to make some concessions to the
child who does not want breakfast at
all. Different varieties of fruit and
cereal. toast made of various kinds OF
bread-all these tempt by their novelty,
and once the habit of eating Is crystal
lized. what the child eats becomes OF
less and less moment. In fact, like most
breakfast day after day, with no desire
for change.
Try an o-bed-and-early-
routine for the young man of who
refuses breakfast. Get the child to bed
by o'clock at the latest and up by Z
Then, while he is dressing, offer tiny
glass of the juice of a sweet orange.
When he comes to the table, give a
small serving of home-cooked cereal.
attractive to eye and taste; slice OF
buttered toast made of raiSin or whole
wheat or graham bread and a cup OF
warm or cold milk, as the child prefers.
The toast may be cut into fourthS and

Household Methods
BIZ BETSY cALLIsTER.

IF laundresses had to sew on the
buttons they rip off they would be more
careful. They would take time to put
the clothes through the ringer carefully
and they would look out for buttons
when they did the ironing"
That sounds like good sense, and yet
there are women who do their own
laundry work with the aid of electric
equipment who careleSsly snap OH but
tons on Monday only to have the trouble
Of sewing them on again on Tuesday
or Wednesday. Really. It takes only Q
little extra time to fold the shirts and
pajarnas and other clothes with but
tons on that they will not snap of, and
1t does take q lot of time to sew but
tons on again Besides, unless you keep
track of the buttons when they come OF
In the wash you will have the expense
of buying new buttons.
Fortunately, clothes have far fewer
buttons than they used to have. Need
less buttons have to great extent been
eliminated. Pajamas that pull on over
the head and therefore need no but
tons are made for men, women and
children, or can be made at home with
much less trouble than the sort that
need buttons and buttonholes.
In washing blouses having fine pearl
buttons, avoid long soaking. AS soon
as the blouse is washed and rinsed look
carefully at the buttons, TO see that no
soap has remained on them. Careless
laundering will make fine pearl buttons
cloudy even If ii does not actually snap
them of.

Everyday Psychology
By DR.. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Remem boring.

What do you mean when you say you
remember? This thing called remem-
bering has a lot of meaning. If you
were trying to define remembering so
that it would satisfy a scientific psy-
chologist, you would first have to get
rid of at least two meanings before 1t
would mean anything to the staid psy-
chologist.
Suppose you meet a man you had
seen somewhere before. You start talk
ing and you say, II remember you"
For you this experience passes for a
remembrance. In the language of sci
ence, it's not memory at all. It's
recognition.
Suppose you recite the first stanza OF
well known poem, say America. y
You call this remembering. But it
isn't. It's a word habit. You can't
call it remembering any more than you
can say that you remember how TO
walk every time you go out for stroll.
If neither recognition nor habit Is
memory, what is memory?
In order to say that you remember,
you must experience the mental process
of having hooked up the past in some
definite way with the present. If you
fully remember this article, you must
hook it up with the date, January 29.
1881. The term recollection" fits most
cases better. and should be used instead
of remembering" at least half the
time.

tons as spotlesS and speckleSs as the
smooth surfaces. Any pattern on the
outside of a kettle that makes indenta-
lions on the inside of it increases the
labor of washing.
Round bottom kettles are easier to
wash than those with fiat bottoms. In
olden times round bottom pots were
usual. They would rest inside the rim

was so shaped that it would stand firmly

to be lowered to get them close to the
heat. Instead the heat is increased or
decreased by means of switch. There
is flat grill work on which the utensils
rest. Because of this the bottoms OF
