MRS. WALTER E. PERRY.

Mrs. Perry's home before she
went into social service work was
in the South. Her soft voice and
her way of saying I'M" when the
rest of us say EN-" would indi-
cate that she probably came from
North Carolina even though she
Gid not tell you that her home
had been in Statesville.
Mrs. Perry's first name is Will
liam-her father named her for
favorite relative, William Green.
The name is obviously a mistlt.
Her friends call her Bill, and that
is still more of misht. She
should have been called Martha,
because Martha was the one who
served and served we'll, and that
is what Mrs. Perry does in Mont
gomery Countryside serves and
serves we'll.

Remove Stains,
Launder Properly

Perhaps the most common house.
hold stains easily removed by lemon
Juice are those of iron rust, ink,
scorch and lipstick. For the first
three stains mentioned, on wash
able material, moisten the spot with
lemon juice, sprinkle with salt,
place in sunlight. Repeat until
stains disappear. Many lipstick
stains respond to lemon Juice full
strength on white wash fabrics or
deluted on colored.
Proper laundering is just as much
q part Of conserving through house
cleaning as any Of the suggestions
already made, and each kind Of ma
terial deserves special care. Here
are the ways in which lemon juice
can help during laundering:
Silks-With every third washing
rinse in water to which lemon juice
is added q tablespoon lemon juice
to each gallon of water). This gives
life and brilliancy to the silk.
Cotton, linen, rayon-f grayed or
yellowed by improper washing, use
the juice of one or two lemons to
each quarts of water for a rinse
To bleach linen or muslin, moisten
with lemon juice and dry in the sun
To whiten cotton or linen, boil to
10 minutes in hot, soapy water
adding strained juice of one or two
lemons. Rinse and dry.

Baby's Rashes
May Be Caused
By Weather
Bv Leftice Lee STREET.

The cracking swishes Of granny's
palmleaf fan, the creaking Of the
porch swing, the humming drone Of
the electric fan in the kitchen ss
mother prepares supper that is
calculated to be cool, crisp and
quick are all summer sounds that
mean everybody If the family Is try
ing to keep cool. Even the 3-year-
old knows enough to hold her
chubby palms under the cold-water
spigot, but what about the baby?
An infant is a helpless small vic
tim Of the heat. Some babies are
stoical and endure itching skin,
damp clothes and bedding with quiet
patience. But most infants whim-
per or cry when they are too warm.
This makes them all the hotter, and
50 they howl all the more loudly.
A mother should be sympathetic
toward her baby during sizzling
days and try to avoid his becoming
50 uncomfortable that he starts to
cry. Furthermore, to neglect taking
proper care of an infants skin in
summer may cause painful skin dis
orders to develop.
Babies should never be overcov-
cred or overdressed. A diaper Is
often all that the hot, perspiring
little baby need wear. The diaper
should be changed frequently, too,
ana the baby allowed to lie for in
tervals during the day with the
diaper under him, but not pinned in
place. This will allow the skin to
cool of somewhat.
Headcloths and sheets should be
changed when they are wet with
perspiration, and when the baby
seems to be very damp with sweat,
he should be given q cooling sponge
bath. Two or three Of these day
will not hurt him.
Miliaria, or prickly heat, is a mad
deningly uncomfortable condition
because 1t itches and burns. Fur
thermore, it Is often totally unneces-
sary and would not occur II mothers
would only keep their babies skins
free Of sweat. Prickly heat is due
to sweat that remains on the skin
this activates bacteria whose growth
results in skin irritations.
To avoid and to cure prickly heat,
then, mother must keep her baby's
skin free of old perspiration.
In the event an infant begins to
show patches of prickly heat a
mother should bathe him frequently
and apply soothing lotion to the
affected areas. A paste made Of
bicarbonate and water Is as effective
as anything else and perfectly safe
to use.
Talcum powder is a help, too, but
it should be used sparingly because
it tends to lump up in the deep
creases around the legs and neck.
Diaper rash is more prevalent in
hot than in cool weather and the
treatment is simply to keep the
baby clean, change diapers often
and then apply oil to the red spots.
Soap should not be used. Diapers
should be rinsed very thoroughly
and bicarbonate Of soda may be
added to the last rinsing water.
Any raw places or persistent
rashes should be shown to q pedia-
trician-it is very important for 4
mother not to attempt home rem
edies for any severe skin condition.
The proper care of serious skin dis
eases is a tricky matter requiring
professional diagnosis and treat
ment
