The indisputable truthfulness of
Webster's portrayal of a certain
middle class type is used here to
lend weight to the f1imsy lies which
bosses concoct about real workers
organizations.

deliberately slsnderous portrayal of

comparison Immediately convicts
Webster as downright liar di-
rectly inspired by the insane SLAM
ders the capitalist press constantly
spews at the Communist move
ment where ever it is found The
whole aim and intent Of this car

similar ones by other cartoonists, is
to diScredit the ever increasing in

little fellow, Skippy is the person
if1cation Of one of the most deadly
kind Of capitalist propaganda, class
collaboration. There are others of
the crude direct preaching type, like
Orphan Annie" THE Gumps" and
others who prattle about honesty,
equality. love Of the poor and other
Eddie Guest virtues. But "Skippy's"
effectiveness depends mainly on
the fact that "Skippy" is made to
be a living character. marvelously
accurate as far as the psychology
of a petty bourgeois child goes
The best comic strips depend on
such realism to support their cap
italist message. One such comic is
the "Timid Soul" by Webster He
is a beautifully complete picture Of
the ignorant petty bourgeois type,
which SHES at meeting even the
shadow of a contradiction Of cap
italist philosophy and reality. He
is easily duped by everyone because
he takes capitalist morality and
customs seriously. He is as inno-
cent as "Skippy" and because Of
that almost as lovable. But these
very virtues make him the vehicle
for the vilest capitalist poison. On

L Klein once had a comic strip

character was a fat rich old gentle

SOFT SPOTS AND OTHER
SHORTCOMINGS OF BABIES

Scarcely a week passes without a
letter from some amateur mother
who has discovered a soft spot in
the baby's head and is all worked
UP over it. Or if the baby's head
doesn't seem too soft in spots 1t is
not quiet symmetrical, she finds.
In case any one should contem-
plate having baby it may be well
to have it clearly understood by
all concerned that they are seldom
entirely fawless nowadays. When
we were babies it was different.
But somehow they don't seem to
make 'em SO good any more. We
can't blame it>on quantity produce
ton either With razors, now, the
more they make the worse they
are; PaZors or razor blades are
made to sell, not to serve. But
with babies, the scarcer they grow
the more flaws folks seems to find in
them.
For instance, virtually all babies
come with a couple of soft spots in
the head. The front one, right on
top of the head, is an inch or more
in diameter, and even if the baby
gets good fresh milk, cod liver oil,
fresh fruit juice, banana, PURGE of
peas, beans or spinach. raw apple
sauce and everything, the soft
spot does not harden with bone I'M
til the sixteenth or seventeenth
month of age.
The other soft spot is at the back
of the head, but this one is less
alarming, being smaller and in a
less noticeable place. Besides it
generally fills with bone by the end
of the second month.
The usual cause of delayed clo-
sure of the soft spot (called fon-
taneD is ricketts,. The best preven-
tive against ricketts, is nursing your
own baby. If incapable of doing
that, then at least see to 1T that the
baby gets pure fresh raw milk-a
grade that your own physician or
your local health officer approves
If you can afford it, certified milk
is the best for any baby. If you
are so situated that you can keep
goat, there is nothing better than
goats milk for a baby or for any
one else, provided the goat gets a
reasonable amount of fresh fodder.
If you are compelled to feed the
baby pasteuriZed milk, at least you
can see that the baby has daily
ration of fresh fruit juice to fur
nish the Vitamin C, which prevents
scurvy, and which is destroyed by
the heating of milk as in pasteuri-
cation.
Every infant raised on the bottle
should have small dose of cod
liver oil or halibut liver oil daily
from the end of the first month to
the end of the first year. Only a
few drops at first. but up to a tea
spoonful a day after the first few
weeks. The cod liver oil or other
fish oil is not necessary after the
baby is a year old,unless there is
something the matter and the doc
tor specifically prescribes it. BY
that time the baby is taking suffi-
Gent other food, particularly eggs
and butter, to provide all the Vita

DRY SKINS NEED CREAMS AND
LOTIONS BODY OILS USED
AFTER BATH ELIMINATE
ROUGHNESS,
By Alicia Hart
2I9XeY WA SERVICE ~

AFTER BATH ELIMINATE
ROUGHNESS.
Body oils and foot creams have
the same beneficial effects on your
feet and body as nourishing creams
have on your neck and face. They
help to Intricate dry condition
of the skin.
There are various foot creams
on the market today. If you don't
have one, try using your tissue
cream on your feet once q week.
You'll be surprised at the differ
ence in the way they feel after
about three or four such treat
ments.
When your feet have been bath
ed and scrubbed with plenty OF
soap suds and small brush, dry
them thoroughly. Then, with foot
cream or tissue cream in the palms
of your hands, massage the cream
into your feet from the tips of the
toes up to the ankles. If there are
little callouses on the backs of
your heels, rub in a bit of extra
cream on those places. When you
have finished, wipe of the surplus
cream and go TO bed.
Body oils usually are slightly
scented. You can get one which
matches the odor of your bath
salts, powder and toilet water.
When you have taken your bath
and dried yourself with a rough
towel, massage body oil into your
skin. 1t will eliminate that rough,
uncomfortable Keeling which dry
skins have after they have been
washed with soap and water.
Modern bath oils are a far cry
from the oils with which the an
cient Greeks and Romans used to
anoint themselves, but the result
is about the same. Oils do help
dry skin.
