What shall I do? Send for your physician, Inflam- mation is often the symptom of the dread disease responsible for two- thirds of the blindness in children. If the inflammation is.not a symptom, it is due to lack of care and cleanli- ness. Wash the baby's eyes every night and morning with absorbent cotton; dipped into a lukewarm solu- tion of boric acid, one even teaspoon- ful to a cup of water. Use a fresh pose the eves og & young baby to strong you wash the baby’s eyes. Never ex- pose the yes of a young baby to strong light. Keep the nursery or bedroom dark. Turn crib and carriage so that the light does not fall on the baby's face. Even when showing the new baby to guests, do not allow the light to strike his eyes. 65.—How can I cure the scales which form on my baby’s scalp? Rub the head nightly with sweet-oil, vaseline or pure cold cream. In the morning wash this off gently with old linen or gauze, pat the scalp dry and apply witch hazel. Never use a fine tooth comb or rough towel to remove the scales. If this treatment is not effective, consult your doctor. 6.—My baby :suffers greatly with heat rash. How should I treat it? Stop the use of soap. Tie a cupful of bran in a plece of cheesecloth and squeeze into the bath water until the latter turns milky. Bathe the baby in this, pat dry and powder with talcum. Be sure that the little slips worn by the baby are not starched nor trimmed with lace or embroidery to chafe little neck and wrists. Be especially careful about the diapers. INever use a diaper the gecond time without washing. Wash ; with good soap and rinse thoroughly, dry ih sun, fold but do not iron. 7.—How do I wash my baby's mouth ? The mouth of the very young baby should not be washed. The mucuos membrane is very tender. If broken, the mouth may become. infected. If the mouth 100ks clean and sweet; and has no tiny white threads or flakes on its pink surface, it needs no attention. It these appéar, the mouth must be swabbed out’ With absorbent cotton wrapped round a blunt wooden tooth- pick, dipped in boric water, one even teaspoon of borax to three ounces or six tablespoons of boiled water. Use this after eath nursing or feeding. When the baby is three months old, wash the mouth daily, and as soon as teeth appear, cleanse them with a soft cloth at first, and then with a tiny soft brush.

HUMAN INTEREST IN FOX PHOTO PLAY A phqfo play production that prom- ises to excite the audience and one that abounds in human interest will be shown at Fox’'s theater today as the stellar motion-picture attraction. “The Heart of a Police Officer,” por- trayed in four acts of excellent pho- tography and interest that is sustained throughout. Frank Canti, a pro- fessional hunter, has had a very bad season. Winter is approaching and _—— SCENE FROM “HEART OF POLICE OFFICER.” e with an old father and two sick chil- dren on his hands, he has no money to buy food or medicine. The pro- prietor of the only hotel in the vil- lage meets him, and tells him that he must have a couple of wild ducks for a banquet, and offers him a large stipend for securing them for him. Canti realizes that to get them he would have to trespass. He is sore- ly tempted, but refuses. He returns home and is confronted by the fam- ily doctor who insists that the’ chil- dren receive the medicine prescribed, so he returns to the propretor of the hotel and accepts an advance from him on the contract. He goes to the count’s grounds, shoots a duck, and is immediately caught by the keeper of the grounds, and haled to a police court where the keeper swears to a, charge of trespassing against him. Through the kind of- fices of a police officer and & leu- tenant, Canti is saved from serving his prison sentence, which makes a beautiful heart-interest story with pretty sentiment. Besides this big attraction four of the best single com- edy and dramatic film-plays will be shown, among them being ““The Trai- tor to His Country,” a Lubin Mexi- can war drama; “The Bingville Fire Department,” a Kalem hilariously funny comedy, “Simp Simpson and the Spirits,” a Selig rural comedy. and “The War Bonnet,” an Indian drama, rounding out two hours of| clean and enjoyable entertainment. | For Saturday the special attrac-' tion on the big motion-picture bill, ‘Sapho” is offered. | father remazined in Jjail, A Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast Fruit Cereal Sugar and Cream Broiled Tomatoes Stewed Potatoes Parkerhouse Rolls Coffee Lunch.

Pays $1,000 to Get Husband Out of Jail. Chicago, July 24.—Michael Hock- man was sent to the county jail when he failed to pay a fine of $1,000 in Judge Brentano’s court a week ago. Yesterday a woman walked into the Jailer's office. “l am Mrs. Hockman and I have come from Brooklyn to get my hus- band out of jail,” she said. Then she proceeded to count out ten $100 bills. “We are golng back to Brooklyn by the first train,” Hock- ‘man announced when he breathed the free air again. “I have no pain of parting with Chicago either. My visit here cost me $17,000.” “I wonder how many wives would pay $1,000 in cash to get their hus- bands out of jail”” said Mrs. Hock- man. “I've known several who would ' gladly pay that much to get them into | ail.” o bins, was. indicted on = chirke of conspiring to take his son out of the jurisdiction of the court. The son paid his Ane of $250, while the fl KEENEY’S BILL IS PRAISED BY PUBLIC With “The Perils of Paulin the famous $2,500 prize moving - picture play, Keeney's theater has one of the best combination bills yet offered to the public of New Britain. A glimpse of the underworld is givefi by Miss Dena Cooper and com- pany in the one act drama entitled, “The Confession.” This act deals with the forcing of a crook to make a confession of a murder that he com- mitted. Miss Cooper forces the crook (Mr. Sheldrick) to confess af- ter twenty minutes of hair-raising events, in which numerous secrets of the underworld are unfolded. In tak- ing the part of the wife of the inno- cent condemned man, Miss Cooper is often compared to the Divine Sarah. This act is a good one for amateur detectives to see in order that they might acquaint themselves with the wrinkles of how the other half lives. There is always a good laugh in the act. of Miss Margaret Burke, the comedy rag time singer, and imper- sonator. For twenty minutes Miss Burke pleases the audience with her clever impersonations of children in a public school and everybody seems to be truly sorry when her time on the stage is up. i A rare novelty that requires excep- * tional ability is the European tight rope walking act of Granto and Maud, direct from a two years' en- gagement in the large cities of Eu- rope. Besides being one of the lead- ing male feminine actors in this coun- try, Mr. Granto is a tight rope walker of the first class order. The feature of the act is a flip backwards, and landing squarely on the wire stand- ing up. To say that the Maxinoff Troupe is making a hit is untrue, because in fact they are making a double hit, if such a thing is possible. The instru- mental work of this remarkable set of entertainers is especially deserving of merit. Selections from the leading grand operas of Italy are played to perfection, by a sextette of musi- cians playing the mandolins, banjos tand harps. The premier bar act of the season is produced by Bush and Engel, the famous New York acrobats. Mr. Bush has marvelous muscular ability which he uses to good advantage while do- ing the twists and turns on the paral- lel bars. The comedy work is taken care of by Mr. Engel, of the late team of Engel and Smith, the rough neck bicyclists. From a laughing standpoint this part of the act cap- tures the honors of the week.
