Equip Crib
Or Carriage
With Netting.
Infants Should Have
This Protection When
Outdoors.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE baby'S equipment during the
Summer must include white
mosquito netting that will go over
his crib or his carriage and completely
shut out insects. To place a baby
in the open without protection of this
sort is to court trouble. The insects
will gather upon him and make him
miserable, if not sick.
The netting ought to be white be-
cause the dye is likely to come out
OF the colored nets when they are wet.
It is just as well not to take any
chance with colors that come out
because babies put whatever they can
possibly get hold of into their mouths
and sample them we'll. Clean. white
mosquito netting is easy enough to
get and does the work required.
1t does close out little of the air,
1t is true but when the baby is out
doors there is air to spare. 1t is
better to dispense with the small
amount of air the netting displaces
than to have the baby bitten, or
threatened by disease. Then, too,
Summer winds carry much dust, and
the netting saves the baby some of
that. White netting can be washed
with very little effort or time.
Flies ought to be killed. In spite
of screens they manage to get into
the house and hide away in cracks.
They come out when the children are
resting trying to sleep, or when they
are having their meals Somebody
ought to go about the house regularly,
with fly swatter and kill every one
of the pests in sight. I would en-
courage children to kill every fly they
see. A folded newspaper makes
fine swatter. A record of the most
flies killed is a good incentive for
this noble war.
Milk, any food that children are to
eat, must be protected from house
flies and other insects. The milk con-
tanner ought to be sterile and kept as
clean and cool as the modern ice box
can keep it. Flies carry dirt and in
fection on their hairy feet, and they
dray those feet over the milk bot
ties, over the dishes on the table,
if they get the chance. The food
ought to be kept under cover. and
the flies that threaten its purity
should be killed before they get there.
If house flies are numerous their
source should be located and removed.
Flies breed in filth, garbage, neglected
waste of all sort, stables, dair;es,
garbage containers. dumps. All should
be examined and cleaned to prevent
the flies from breeding. Stagnant
water, even pailful left behind the
house, breeds mosquitoes.
We make a fuss about the bites of
flies and mosquitoes because baby's
skin is very sensitive, his body has
not built up the essential resistance
to disease. These insect pests are
likely to cause him much needless
irritation, if not illness. The irrita-
tion caused by bites wears down the
baby's resistance to illness and opens
the road to the germs that lurk on
insects feet or in their bites.
We can prevent ill health for little
children by warning on the insects
first by cleanliness drive, and then
by providing good nets and screens

be saying behind her back that she
is getting middle aged. And she
can't help it, poor thing.
So far have We carried this ridicu-
lous prejudice against middle age
that it has become almost a justifi-
cation for unfaithfulneSs in husbands
and a cause for divorce. When We
hear of married man chasing around
with a little fapper who is young
enough to be his daughter, the ex-
PLANTATION that is oftenest offered is:
We'll, you know his wife has got
middle-aged."
As If no one could expect man
still to be in love with middle-aged
woman. AS if her being middle aged
wiped out of a mans memory the
years of devotion his wife had given
him, the struggle she has made to
help him get start in the world and
make the money he is throwing away
on a gold-digger: the days and nights
she has watched by his sick bed.
X X X x
IN ALL good faith, the average mid
dle-aged woman is just as good
looking and attractive as the average
middle-aged man. She is no more like
ly to have lost her waistline than he
has his, and she generally has a lot
more pep and 60 to her, but you never
hear of her forSaking her perfectly
good old husband and installing cake
eating kid in his place.
Yet this is common among men,
and it is what makes wives lie awake
at night dreading middle age and
keeps them counting their calories and
makes them have their faces lifted.
The plight of the woman who is mar
ried and who realizes that she is in
danger of losing her husband is bad
enough, but that of the woman OF
middle age who must support herself
is worse still, because men carry the
absurd worship of youth even into
business, and every door is virtually
barred to a woman after she passes
out of her 20s. Men do not want
homely, middle-aged women around
them.
Why men prefer a girl who can't
spell or add up column of figures
correctly to middle-aged woman who
is letter perfect, only the Lord. who
assembled the queer bundle of contra
dictions we call men, knows. Ger
tainly not all business men are Lo-
tharios. But the fact remains that
any bob-haired, half-clothed, painted
up little fiapper has hundred times.
better chance to get job than gray
haired, quietly dressed, middle-aged
woman. But isn't it a pity and isn't
it silly, all this prejudice and dis
elimination against middle age, which.
after all. is just the high Summer of
life when a woman is really in full
bloom? DOROTHY DIX.

w middle aged? Heaven
knows It is an offense
against society to which no woman is
willingly particeps criminis. No wom-
an would be middle aged if she could
prevent it. On the contrary. so fran
tically anxious are women to ward off
the awful reproach of being middle
aged that they subject themselves to
voluntary starvation, spend fortunes
and undergo the tortures of the
damned in beauty shops, being scalped
and beaten and boiled alive in order
to offer convincing alibi that will
prove they are not guilty.
To the young woman we offer al
most slavish adulation. Just by rea-
son Of her youth she is a queen who
can do no wrong, although she slapS
Mrs. Grundy in the face and breaks
all Of the Ten Commandments and is
a Dumb Dora besides.
To the old woman We give reverence
and respect, and the sentimental and
romantic admiration that We hestow
upon the antique. We regard grand
mothers as we do early American
maple-as something precious, even
though they never had any grace or
beauty about them.

IT IS only middle age that is taboo
Yet at middle age a woman is
nearly always at her best. Frequently
she is better looking than she was as
a girl. Invariably she is more inter-
esting, because no woman, however
dull, can live IS years without acquir-
ing fund Of experiences that make
her conversation better worth listen
ing to than the meaningless chatter
Of debutante.
And If a woman has any mind and
soul, the passing Of the years edu-
Gates her and broadens and deepens
and ripens her, so that in middle age
she is no more to be compared to
callow girlhood than mellow old wine
is to made-last-night homebrew.
Nor is middle age a blight upon
men. It is no reflection on a mans
character for him to be middle aged,
or for him to lose his boyish figure
and acquire a few wrinkles and have
his hair beat a retreat off his fore
head. Indeed, middle age is consid-
cred an asset rather than a total loss
to a man. At middle age he gen.
orally reaches the peak of efficiency
in business. And on the stage, when
they want to portray real heart
smasher and home -wrecker, he al
ways makes up as a sophisticated
man Of the world, with a little patch
Of gray on the temples.
TT IS only the women on whom the
curse Of middle age is laid, and
none may escape it except by dying
young. It is the ghost that haunts
the boudoir of the beauty, for she
knows 1t Is bound to get her, no mat
ter how carefully she watches out. It
is what makes the coming of the first
white hair a tragedy. 1t is what
makes women shed barrels of tears
and use pounds of massage creams
over every wrinkle. 1t is what turns
every honeyed compliment into a
drop Of poison, because full well the
recipient knows that soon they will

The Old Gardener Says:

If dusts are to be depended
upon for fighting most of the
garden pests, a regulation dust
ing gun should be provided The
cost is small and the results are
most satisfactory. There are
forms of bellows which can be
used, too, but in the very small
garden it is only necessary to
place the dust in a cheesecloth
bag and to attach the bag to the
end Of a long stick by means of
which it can be shaken over the
plants. Dusting sprays are
particularly useful in small
gardens and much less messy
than wet sprays. The seed stores
have different kinds for fighting
various pests and for the protec-
ton of rose plants. delphiniums
