HOW TO KEEP BABY The Chinese show their progressive spirit by paying their physicians as long as they sire fn health and ceasing to pay them as soon as they become ill. This is not such a bad idea, after nil, for prevention of disease is much more important than curing it. The mother of the young child dreads the heated summertime, know- ing that this is a trying period. A few simple rules persistently follow- ed will do much to keep baby well. Give plenty of cool, boiled, drinking water. This shoed be offered at least once every hour when baby is awake, De regular with the morning bath. If the day is very warm, give a sponge bath also at bedtime. Do not dress too warmly. Avoid drafts, sudden; changes of temperature and ehills by hating a light wrap or jacket which may be put on if the weather changes er it becomes otherwise necessary. See that baby's bowels are in good condition. It Is very important that 1110 little one have at least one com- pete movement every day. If there is any sign of digestive disturbance,' feed more lightly than usual and try to discover just what article of diet is, to blame. Perhaps the milk is not modified right or the feed in the pas- tures is short and the cows are being fed on ensilage. Th!s makes a gassy, indigestible milk. Possibly the food is too rich or not nourishing enough,' no something is being given unsuited to the child's age. If dysentery attacks the baby, with- hold milk. Feed upon rice or barley, water and whey. Give a dose of castor nil to clear away the offending ma -1 tenial and summer a physician at once.; There is little use calling him unless ' you follow his advice to the letter. One nether whose child had an at -1 took of diarrhea realized the danger, of this disease and summoned a physi- 1 Dian. He forbade the giving of any! milk until his return twenty-four, hours later. The baby began to thaw marked improvement when man- i aged according to his directions. The! next morning the mother felt so sorry' for the little one because he could only have barley water that she ventured to give him half a bottle of milk. The child was not restless without it, but she was sure he must need it, The child took the milk with apparent sat- isfaction, however, and the mother was sure she had done the right thing. .Half an hour later the whole family was thrown into Budden consternation by the distressing sight of the child in a terrible convulsion. Fortunately the doctor Jived near, and his prompt answer to the call saved the day. When the little one had been taken; out of its bath of warm water and its I stomach emptied of the mass of curds which had caused the trouble, the disc - WELL 1N SUMMER. tor turned accusingly to the mother and said; "I am sorry, but you are to blame for this," Do as the doctor tells you. You pay him to know. If you have not confidence that he does know, call some one else who merits your con- fidence. 1 Be sure that any food supplies are fresh and pure. Gruel used as a 1diluent should be made fresh every day and kept on ice. Milk should not be allowed to stand about in a !doorway or a kitchen, but placed in i cold storage at once. See that bot- tles and nipples are washed and scald- ed between usings. Throw away any food left over from a feeding. Do not store baby's milk next to fish or other foods which will contaminate it. Do not leave the cleansing of the milk utensils to any one else. See to it yourself. Turn the nipples wrong side out. If the holes in the nipples become so large that the milk flows too rapidly, either throw the nipple away or close up the opening with a red -hat needle and make a new one, Avoid excitement. for children, es- pecially in warm weather, and see that their naps are regular and ade- quate. Do not wean baby during the heat of summer. Pasteurize the milk as an element of safety unless you are absolutely certain as to its purity and freshness. Know for a certainty where baby's milk comes from—whether the barn or stable is clean and the condition under which it is milked, bottled and delivered. If you cannot make this investigation personally, an inquiry to the proper authorities should bring you the ne- cessary information. The milk of Jersey cows is likely to be overrieh and to need more dilution than usual. Use a glass graduate with the ounces marked on the side in prepar- ing artificial food. Do not depend upon guesswork. See that baby's clothing,and especially the napkins, are carefully rinsed free of all soap, or chafing will result. Do not use napkins the second time without washing. Air and sun bedding and clothing. Do not let a littls child lie with its clothing wet. This is likely to cause irritation and encour- ages the habit of bed wetting. Be regular with a child in all its habits. Do not offer attention or continual amusement if the little one can be contented without them. Re- member that flies and insects are a menace, as they carry dangerous dis- ease germs from place to place. Sim- ple, soft, fresh clothing makes baby much more comfortable than fussy garments, stiffly starched or soiled ones. Avoid the passible contagion of crowds. After tical-'I'itue. Prepare your dishes carefully for -their cleansing. It pays. The ex- perienced housekeeper, of course, washes her cooking utensils as she goes along so that not many are left to be taken caro of after the meal. These should be piled next to the dish- pan. Greasy pans may be wiped out with soft paper, which then makes good fuel. All other dishes, plates, cups and eaucers, and silver should be put together in neat stacks in the order in which they are to be washed. Cups should be rinsed and plates scraped and rinsed before they are piled together. All bowls and other utensils, which have held starchy foods, should be filled promptly with cold water. Those which have had in them sugary foods or sticky ones, like gelatine, ne should be filled with hot water, As soon as a milk jar or can is emptied it should promptly be fill- ed with cold water. The preferred; order in which to wash the dishes is to dispose first of pots and pans. ,_erten, in fresh water, wash the glass, 1 then the silver, and then the china. his order is beat beoawse It gets; the Woist Part df th-g ,% of the way first, andserreeees the clanger, of breakage ge for the finer c1t he.It is silo best for the hands. I will either temper the sun's rays or keep out the rain. Paint or oil the floor if it it hard '; and smooth; if it is not, cover it with linoleum. Small rugs or rubber mats placed before the stove, sink and table Prevent strain on the muscles and rest ' the feet. Painted walls, or those covered with washable paper, togeth- er with well painted woodwork, look a and feel cool. - A sink with running water keeps the housewife's temperature down, e i and so does a fireless cooker. The 1 1 coal or wood stove should be supple- !mentcd by one burning gas or oil, Of the latter type, the blue -flame stove 'is highly satisfactory. A kitchen cabinet is invaluable for saving steps and space. No family a Iwithin reach of ice should attempt to a get through the summer without a re- frigerator. Wheze expense se must be considered, a well -made ice -chest of good dimensions is preferable to a poor refrigerator or one which is too smalliv good tog e g d service.

He felt her flingers twitch. s since e e y "Does it hurt, too, to talk about! him ?" he asked. d "It's impossible to talk about Montag t without talking about his—his--abotnt' hirs, Covington," Marjory explained! I feebly. "They ought to be one," he admit - re toed. But you said they are about1 Separa.te." "Yes, Peter; only I keep thinking! of what ought to be." P She wtihdrew her hand and leaned back on the seat a little away from him. Sensitive to every movement y of hers, he glanced up at this. e "Somehow,"—he . said, with a strained expression,—"somehow I I feel the need of seeing your eyes to- t day. There's something here I don't undertsand." "Don't try !to understand, Peter," she cried. :"It's better• that you shouldn't," It's best always to know the truth," he said. Not always.' "Always," he insisted. "Sometimes it doesn't: do any good, to know the truth. It only hurts."i "Even then, it's best. When I' get my eyes—" She shrank farther away from hint,) for she saw him struggling even then to open them. It was this possibility which from 'that point on added a new terror to these daily drives, Marjory had told Monte that Peter's recovery was' something to which she looked for- ward; but when she said that she had been sitting alone and pouring out her heart to Monte. She had not then been facing titre fact by the side of Peter. It was one. thing to dream boldly, with all her thoughts of Monte, and quite another to confront the same facts actually and alone. It this crisis came now, it was going to hurt her and hurt Peter, and do no good to any one; while, if it could be postponed six months, perhaps it would not hurt eo much. It was better for Peter to endure his blind- ness a little longer than to see too soon. So the next day she decided she would not kiss his eyes. He came to her in the maiming, arid stood Dad before her waiting. Sheplaced be gr hand upon his shoulder. "Peter," she said as gent as size could, "I do not think I shall -kiss you again for a little while.'

Day by day Peter's eeys grew stronger, because day by day he was thinking less about himself and more about Marjory. "He needs to get away from him- self," the doctors had told Beatrice. 'If you can find something that will occupy his thoughts, so that, he will quit thinking about his eyes, you'll double his chances," Beatrice had done that when she found Marjory, nd now she was more than satisfied with the result and with herself. Every morning she saw Peter safely ntrusted to Mallory's care, and this eft her free the rest of the day to walls a little, read her favorite book,•; and nibble chocolates. She was get- ting' a much-needed rest, secure in the belief that everything was working out in quite an ideal way. he only thing that seemed to her t all strange was a sudden reluct- nee on Peter's part to talk to her of Marjory.

It will be clear, and I shall ride w'tih him as I prom- ised, and I shall kiss him upon his eyes. But. if you were with me— Here and here and here I throw them out into the dark. Good -night, soul of my soul. a ed li se a c h left? He felt her flingers twitch. s since e e y "Does it hurt, too, to talk about! him ?" he asked. d "It's impossible to talk about Montag t without talking about his—his--abotnt' hirs, Covington," Marjory explained! I feebly. "They ought to be one," he admit - re toed. But you said they are about1 Separa.te." "Yes, Peter; only I keep thinking! of what ought to be." P She wtihdrew her hand and leaned back on the seat a little away from him. Sensitive to every movement y of hers, he glanced up at this. e "Somehow,"—he . said, with a strained expression,—"somehow I I feel the need of seeing your eyes to- t day. There's something here I don't undertsand." "Don't try !to understand, Peter," she cried. :"It's better• that you shouldn't," It's best always to know the truth," he said. Not always.' "Always," he insisted. "Sometimes it doesn't: do any good, to know the truth. It only hurts."i "Even then, it's best. When I' get my eyes—" She shrank farther away from hint,) for she saw him struggling even then to open them. It was this possibility which from 'that point on added a new terror to these daily drives, Marjory had told Monte that Peter's recovery was' something to which she looked for- ward; but when she said that she had been sitting alone and pouring out her heart to Monte. She had not then been facing titre fact by the side of Peter. It was one. thing to dream boldly, with all her thoughts of Monte, and quite another to confront the same facts actually and alone. It this crisis came now, it was going to hurt her and hurt Peter, and do no good to any one; while, if it could be postponed six months, perhaps it would not hurt eo much. It was better for Peter to endure his blind- ness a little longer than to see too soon. So the next day she decided she would not kiss his eyes. He came to her in the maiming, arid stood Dad before her waiting. Sheplaced be gr hand upon his shoulder. "Peter," she said as gent as size could, "I do not think I shall -kiss you again for a little while.' She saw hire lips tighten" but, to her surprise, he made no protest, "No, dear heart," he answered, "»t isn't because I wish to be un.

Day by day Peter's eeys grew stronger, because day by day he was thinking less about himself and more about Marjory. "He needs to get away from him- self," the doctors had told Beatrice. 'If you can find something that will occupy his thoughts, so that, he will quit thinking about his eyes, you'll double his chances," Beatrice had done that when she found Marjory, nd now she was more than satisfied with the result and with herself. Every morning she saw Peter safely ntrusted to Mallory's care, and this eft her free the rest of the day to walls a little, read her favorite book,•; and nibble chocolates. She was get- ting' a much-needed rest, secure in the belief that everything was working out in quite an ideal way. he only thing that seemed to her t all strange was a sudden reluct- nee on Peter's part to talk to her of Marjory.
