Very important.

Right now we can stabilize these
payrolls by purchasing the goods

Helter-Skelter Methods.

Should my baby's maps and bedtime
be regular?" is a surprising question
But it is even more surprising when, ir
the next breath, the young mother dis
closes a series Of woes, all directly re-
lated to that very matter of regularity
Such Is the case with Mrs. E. A. NJ.
who writes: MY baby Is almost year
old and weighs II pounds. She still
nurses, and doesn't eat thing. She
doesn't seem to like Food. She nurses
about four or five times at night. She
sleeps with me How shall wean her
and how can I do it without making
her cry lot day and night?
Sometimes she sleeps three or three

does not go to bed until 9 or $50 She

sleeps when she pleases. How can
get her to eat at the table? She cries
and fuses when I will not nurse her

Here IS a fairly good example of the
poor results obtained when a baby is
reared without rhyme or reason. If you
make no effort to regularize the baby's
day and feed her the foods that will
make her healthy, you cannot blame
the baby for being irritable
The cause OF your problem Is pro-
longed nursing, for after the ninth
month the breast milk is of poor quality
and insufficient in amount to nourish
the baby properly. In addition, she
lacks every other food which is in the
diet Of the modern baby She is about
5 pounds underweighl, indicating how
badly she needs these other foods and
some regularity in her life. Wean her

She is cross and nurses so much
because Of her n1alnutrition, so there is
no reason for prolonging this poor feed

White Pique for Wooden Dress
BY MARY MARSHALL.

There Is something crisp and sum-
merry about the touch Of white pique,
but it Is also an attractive addition
to the wooden dress designed for
Autumn and Winter And one Of the
great advantages about choosing pique
FOR your touch Of white Is that 1t can
be washed and ironed with such ease
and with such perfect results.
Tne sketch shows one of the new
lightweight woods that gives the erect
OF tweed, but is frmer and lighter than
the sort OF material that we usually
think OF as tweedy It is developed
In tones OF green and brown and is
worn with a light brown belt. A re-
movable band Of white pique is in
serted In the sleeves and forms a
piping for the v neckline, while
series OF four squares Of pique gives
an unusual but simple trimming to
the lower part Of the bodice.
II you would like to add a new
touch to a simple daytime dress, why
The piping for the neckline may be
made from strips Of tine pique 2k
inches wide, folded over and stitched
to make a band about an inch in
width.
To make the three squares you will
need six pieces of pique about 81
inches square. They should be put
together in squares, right side in, and
stitched three sixteenths Of an inch
from the edge on three sides, turned
right side out, the raw edge turned
In and overhanded together

THE EASY CHAIR AND LAMP ARE REGARDED ESSENTIALS

One Of the fascinating things that a
bride and groom have to do when they
go to Housekeeping is to furnish the
new home. It may be a spacious
dwelling or a small apartment but the
zest remains the same. Unless the
purse is unlimited, as few are, the matter
Of knowing what to get must be solved
II the result Is to be satisfactory. The
fact that no two persons demand ex-
actly the same furnishings is true, but
there are certain essentials that all re-
Quire.
Various Rooms.
There must be sufficient furnishings
In the kitchen to insure the proper
preparation Of three meals. There
must be a table to serve the meals on,
and a place to sleep. There must be
also some one of the rooms in which
the living room idea is stressed, a room
1r which comfortable chairs form part
Of the furnishings good reading lights
and one or two tables. No place worthy
of the name Of home is minus these
essentials although one, two or three
rooms are all that can be afforded.
Since the four-room apartment COM
prises the minimum number Of separate
rooms for housekeeping. let us consider
one having a living room, bed room,
rooms can supply the needs, provided
the kitchen is a kichenette which IS not
calculated as room In most instances
it IS SO small it could not compare with
an old-fashioned closet of the kitchen
known as sink room. It must be sup
piled with cooking utensils and cutlery
In small or large numbers and variety
to suit the requirements Of the new
"cook"
A dining room suite fills all essentials
for the dining room. Since many prefer
to buy separate well-suited pieces, these
are an extension, drop leaf or refectory

Couture for Large Nose.

Dear Miss Leeds-Q) have a very
large nose. How can dress my hair so
that it will look smaller?
(2) What shall I eat In order to gain
weight? I am II years old and need
to gain abcut Is pounds.
MAURINE
Answer-Q) In the first place you
must wear your hair long and not bob
bed so that you can have a knot Of
hair or curl clustered behind to balance
your nose. When arranging this knot
study your profile in a handglass Do
not pin the coil of hair on level with
your nose, but wear it rather low at the
back. Avoid center-part coiffures. A
side part is good with the hair waved
rather high in the center, and fluffy
curl at the beginning Of the part. Keep
the hair off the sides of your face
so as not to detract from its width.
Fluffy curls about the face are more
becoming than a sleek, smooth effect
when the features are too bold.

If earth cleaners. Have you ever stopped
to think of how free the air is from
offensive odors? The insects have a
very keen sense of smell. They are
provided with strong wings to carry
them to the spot whence the odor came
Furthermore, by burying this decaying
matter the soil is enriched. Have you
ever realized that the lowly angle worm
Lifts tons of earth yearly and into his
burrows creep many, many insects,
which could not make the burrow for
themselves?
The little ant lion, who lies at the
bottom Of his den. waiting patiently
for the inquisitive insect to roll down
his sloping walls, frees his home at
once from all debris left from his last
meal He piles the fragments on his
head and with quick jerk sends them
over the top and some distance from his
trap.
There are many. many insects which
bury their victims in the earth and
place their young upon the food. They
hatch quickly after being placed there
by their mother and the food is soon
sustaining them Even the fly that we
try to swat places her children where
they will soon clean up the place. The
blue-bottle fly places her children in
the bodies Of dead animals, which are
quickly reduced 10 harmless matter ana
the spread of disease is lessened.
An ant is most helpful about the place,
too, and as her family has an appetite
that is never satisfied, we again are
indebted to the insect family.
Birds and lizards are ever on the
lookout for tid-bits and help to keep
down the insects which are not our
friends. Tumble-bugs are famous the
world over and they roll their market
ing home, where they feast for two
weeks day and night. The mother bee
tie goes to the market place again If
any matter is left and constructs an
other ball This she trundles home
and makes into predigested food for her
family. She shapes the most perfect
little pears Of the material and places
a tiny egg in the tip Of the pear-shaped
cradle. The youngster eats the food and
grows very fat He goes through many
changes and finally steps out into the
sun a grown beetle.
Should strolling insect or mouse go
into the open door of the beehive, the
inhabitants make short work of the in
truder. If too large to push out Of the
door he is pulled over to one side, away
from the main street and embalmed in

What was the psychology Of the stu

my mind at the time. And nothing but
questions since.
/. Were these men psychological
subjects? My answer IS that they were
merely physiological units. Hunger

fight. Men who live from hand to
