Practically from birth. = The nur- lery and the room in which the other - is confined should be well- entilated. The window should be ropped from the top to permit the Impure air to go out. - In winter, the ‘oom should have a temperaturé of eventy by day -and sixty-four . by hight until the baby is a month old. en the night temperaturc may be bven lower. 2.—My baby takes cold when sleep- g in a room with windows open. hat can I do? The cold does not come from the bpen windows, unless the baby lies n a draught. Protect the bed or brib by a screen. Stand it in a orner out of the draught. More ikely the cold is due to infection. K our baby has come in contact with omeone who has a cold. If you ave a cold, the baby can catch it fvhile you handle him. Physicians dvise mothers suffering with colds o tie a soft bandage or handkerchief bver their own mouth when handling bnd -nursing the baby.

In summer, when three weeks old. in colder weather, not until three onths old and then when perfectly protected.© In summer the baby is dressed as for ‘the night or in its lit- ftle slip, and tucked in its carriage in shady corner of the porch or un- der a tree, with eyes protected from he strong light. In colder weather, the baby must be warmly dressed, lwith eider-down cloak and silk-lined fhood, and the carriage set in a sunny lcorner of the porch or yard, screened from iind and the eves protected rom sun glare. For, summer, there comes an outdoor bed which any man handy ‘with. tools.can -make. - -A-lit- tle wooden platform twenty-four by thirty-six inches is set ‘on four good- sized casters. On this, with upright twenty-seven .inches high at each of he four corners, is erected: a frame, [connected - with cotton or wire mos- quito netting, and looks like a huge [Square cheese box, such as you see in grocpry stores. The top has hinges land a clasp. The little mosquito- ‘proof bed on wheels is then fitted out lwith an old comfortable or pillow, & rubber sheet and a cotton sheet. In | this baby can be wheeled to-any part of the house, porch or yard, for a comfortable nap. It is:coofer than a wicker carriage and has the advan- [ tage of being fly-proof. 4—How soon does a baby take a daily outing? In summer when a week old. In _cool fall or spring weather when a ‘month old. In winter when two or ‘three months old. 5.—We have long stretches of bad 'weather in our part of the country. ‘How can I give my baby an airing ‘at such times? By dressing him as for his regular outing and then throwing up t windows of the nursery or _living xoom. Place the cafrriage or crib ‘near the window but not in a draught. {Start with a fifteen minute airing KEENEY’S WEEK OF JULY 27 REVOLVING COLLINS, Champion Roller Skater.

A young bahy Crying is exerc so is waving his arms and kicking. When a baby is a month old, he should have a reg- ular exercise hour -each day. the room warm. Remove. all cloth- ing except knitted band or bellyband and diapers, and let Him kick on the bed. Keep this up until he shows a desire to-creep or-drew himself up to walk, then place him on the floor where no draught will strike him, on a comfortable or in a play-pen. 7.~—~How many hours in twenty- four should a baby sleep? During the first few weeks of his life, about twenty hours. At three months he wakes only to be fed every three hours during the day, and once in the night. At six months, he is still sleeping sixteen hours out of twenty-four. At a year, he has a nap during both morning and after- noon, and at two he sleeps at least ten hours -each night and has a long afternoon nap. . 8.—When should a baby be vacci- nated? Any time after three months, if he is well and strong. Six months is the usual age, but if a case of small- pox is reported in your town, take no chances. Have the baby vaccinated at once. 1 9.—What diseases are carried by flies? ! * Almost any infectious or contagious disease, infantile paralysis, diarrhoea, typhoid and scarlet fever, .measles, | etc. Flies are the baby’s worst ene- | mies.

KEENEY'S TO HAVE COMEDY THIS WEEK exercises Comedy will form an important part of the show at Keeney's during the coming week, the management having billed light and entertaining acts that have a high position in the vaudeville world. - It will be a real summer show with acts of a varied character.

These performers are said to be the most daring acrobats in vaudeville and their spectacular feats have placed them on a plane which all others have been unable to reach. They use a great deal of novel ap- paratus and introduce some remark- able pryamids besides showing won- derful ability at floor tumbling. Much is expected of Marie Fox and George Lenner, singers and com- edians. In New York this pair scored 'a big, success and in other cities where they have appeared critics have also praised them highly. The Revolving Collins, claimed by many experts to be the world's cham- plon fancy roller skater, will be here for a week's engagement. He will present several tricks of which he is the originator besides giving an ex- hibition of fancy skating and sensa- tional whirling. The Funny Finns will entertain with their boxing burlesque. This act is a big laugh-getter and in great demand among _enterprising vaudeville magnates. The Italian Opera company will give a concert as its part of the bill, introducing —=THE POPULAR SHOE STORE Rubber Sole Footwear These popular Summer Shoes are all the go and we are showing them in tan calf, white nu-buck and canvas, for men and women.

And 1 doubt if one out of ten would have a real right to. That s if you gaye these words their hest sense. Strength of will, in its best sense, means a high degree or determination and self command, united with a fair degree of reafon, - Thix i§ thé Find of strength of will which it is good to have., It because -these Avords commonly have this sense that we have come to a strong will as something to be proud of. But which the average person Who flat- this is not the kind“of a strong will ters himself on possessing this distinction really has “Yes, 1 have a very strong will,” 1 heard a other day, with a facial expression which did not that he hated himself. He had been telling how he refused to do a certain thing which he had no particular reason for not doing and which would have been great- Iy to his future-advantage, He told how .all his friends urged him to do it and How he had held out against them. One of those feminine syeéophants who are always ready to supply the draughts of flattery on which- this type of men drink themselves into the stupor of complete self satisfaction, promptly offered the tribute which he expected, and he echoed it fatuously, “Yes, I have a very strong will " A man like this shames the fine term will power by applying it to himself. If he had said, “Yes, I'm as stubborn as a mule,” he would have come far nearer the truth. And he is but one of many people who think they have will power when all they really have is won't power. Strength of desire is also confused with strength of will. To adapt the familiar epigram, A great many people confuse their backbone with their wishbone.” The famous Bronte sisters had a brother who was sup- posed (o be the star of the family. He had great talents and what at first seemed strong will power, But alas, the star of the family turned out to be a swift falling meteor. “We finally realized,” sighed Charlotte after Patrick Bronte had wasted all his fine talents and brought disgrace and sorrow on his family, “that strength of passion should not be confounded with strength of will.” Self will is one of the commonest things in the world. A strong will is one of the rarest.
