mana, orange. Do not give them
cabbage. Also feed a baby rabbit
small quantities of food until 3
months old, as they have a ten
dency while so small to overeat.
That is what kills so many baby
| rabbits given children at Easter
overfeeding. They are literally
killed with kindness.
Give water if the bunny will drink
it. Our first rabbit would not touch
water and only drank milk: the
second one has never touched milk
and drinks large quantities of water
Hay is good for them-some will eat
it, others Will not.
Rabbits can be very easily house
broken. just put down a small pile
Of newspapers and place the baby
rabbit on 1t After few times. he
will go to the newspaper every time
Then We make a shallow wooden
box with two higher upright pieces
at the back and small rim around
the other two sides. shellac it, and
then place newspaper in the bottom.
on top of which we place q shallow
tray made of wooden Stats, which
can be lifted out and the newspaper
thrown away. 1t is very sanitary
and neat. We keep ours in the
bathroom, in a corner. Our Belgian
hare rang a little bell outside of the
bathroom door, when he found it
closed and wanted to get in-truly!
They all like to ring bells and are
fond Of making little noises, such as
picking up and dropping coat
hanger, etc.
We have kept our rabbits in our
! apartment in winter and in sum-
mer found, to our delight, that they
did not want to leave our summer
cottage. but preferred to remain on
the screened porch. Friends who
have built outdoor rabbit hutches
! and runs say that they will dig
their way out of any inclosure which
has a dirt floor, unless there is
wire or wooden base underneath.
Also be sure to have the floor con-
nected with the wire sides of the
rabbit run, so they cannot dig out
between the two. A little covered
house OF some kind is necessary, so
they can take cover II frightened.
Also, they feel the heat very badly
and should not be left out in the
sun in hot weather Rabbit men
say more rabbits die of heat than
cold, although they are subject to
respiratory diseases, If not properly
taken care of, and sometimes die Of
fright. For example, a large dog
jumping and barking at their in
closure might prove fatal, or a large
bird striking their wire inclosure
from above. In the country there
is danger of a hawk or buzzard
striking the top of the inclosure
if they see fur bearing animal
from the sky.

iodized salt, II obtainable. This will
prevent their chewing furniture or
clothing if they are kept In the
house. They only chew up such
articles when not properly fed and
they are trying to make up some
dietary deficiency.
That is all I can think of with
reference to our experience with
rabbits as pets. Friends who have
followed our suggestions about
housebreaking rabbits have had the

Avert Infection
By Caring For
Minor Cuts
By Leftice Lee Street,

Two-year-o Jimmie had been
walking along with an air Of de-
tached dignity when all Of a sudden
his eye was charmed by butterfly
hovering over a purple iris. Hasten
ing his pace to reach this pretty
and unusual object, he tripped over
something probably his own foot)
and fell fat on his face.
For brief moment there was
silence, then came the roars, and
with them, his attentive young
mother She picked Jimmie up,
busted him off and after one glance
at his bumped forehead and bloody
little knees, carried him, bowling,
upstairs.
All toddlers take spills aplenty
during those treacherous days when
small feet have to navigate un-
wieldly bodies Most bumps occur
on the head, particularly in the early
days Of walking. This causes lump

and dimensions; it may stay several
days, but is seldom any cause for
concern. After the baby has been
ealmed, apply cold compress. Ma
ture does the rest, using. in the
process, a palette OF various colors

Superficial wounds. such as the
scratches on Jimmie's knees, are
potentially dangerous. because they
are a door through which harmful
germs may enter to attack the body.
Abrasions, and small injuries of all
kinds that cause the skin to be
broken, should not be disregarded
They should be attended to promptly
and properly. This includes an in
fant's tiny hangnails.
The major point is to prevent this
invasion Of germs. and this means, to
remove those present, and to make
further entrance impossible. 1t is of
doubtful value. then, to pour iodine
on Jimmie's knees as they are. Under
the iodine there will still remain
the germ laden dirt from the rocky
path, where he fell. Instead, read
what Jimmie's mother did
First. she scrubbed her own hands
with soap and water, using nail
brush. Then she poured rubbing
alcohol over them leaving them wet,
because she had no sterile towels.
She washed her childs knees with
soap and water until all signs of
CRIME and grit were gone and the
blood was fresh and bright, as it
came to the surface. Then she ap-
piled rubbing alcohol. (Note-it is
hard to obtain this alcohol, and
lacking it be sure to scrub the
affected parts thoroughly with soar
and water, which is itself, a good
disinfectant) Next came sulfanili.

with adhesive tape These bandages
were left on for several days. 1t is
q mistake to change a bandage daily
as every time this is done there is 8
chance of infection. After cleansing
and disinfecting, very slight
scratches are better oil without any
bandage.
Sulfanilimide powder is not ex-
pensive and 1t should be In every
home medicine closet. 1t is the
miraculous new antiseptic that has
saved so many lives during this war
because it has notably lowered NOR

Mrs. Grundy's Structures Hold

By Dorothy Dir

Dear Miss Dix: How much do you

My husband is in the Army and
has been overseas for a year. I
have carried on with my 6-year-old
son and done pretty good job of it
until two months ago when I had a
bad attack of flu which developed
into pneumonia. We have no rela-
tives in the city in which I live but
lots OF friends who call up and send
flowers. but that seems to be as far
as friendship goes. This city is
defense center and there is no help
available. The hospitals are over
crowded, with cots in the halls. No

Self-consciousness retards the sue

an assurance to go ahead and for

CANNED GREEN PEPPERS.
REQUESTED BY Mrs. E. S. H..
WaShington.)
I raised a lot of giant green and
red peppers last year and canned
about two dozen quarts besides
making many pints of pepper relish.
But 1 am at loss as to how to
serve canned peppers. I have
stuffed them and they were fine. I
do not seem ever to find many re-
cipes where a number Of green pep
pers are used. Thought possibly
some one could help me out.

DRIED BANANAS.
(Thanks to E. B. M, Mount
Jackson, Vd)
In answer to Mrs E. T, Harpers
Ferry, on how to use dried bananas
I am passing on this information.
I am a dietitian and have used the
bananas for the past six months
These come packed 10 to a package
and also 4 packages to a case. I
have found these satisfactory. No
special recipe is necessary for the
use of the bananas. OF course the
favor is stronger than the banana
we use having been ripened and
dried in their native country When
dried they are small and are split in
half
Do not cook, just soak the guam
tity to be used in cold water over
night. No sugar is required. Use
bananas after soaking just as you
would any other in pies, custards,
graham cracker puddings and on
cereals for breakfast.
The dessert will be darker made
with the dried bananas. They keep
we'll before they have been soaked
for use.
