Serwich Bullet n and Coufied 124 YEARS OLD That debt alone is costing us many mil- lion dollars a year so that there is some satisfaction 1h knowing that it is being cut down and has already undergone ap- preciable reduction. This is getting help from the better methods of handling the nation’s business, the reduction of the large and seemingly limitless expendi- tures connected with war activities and the fack that it is insisted that waste be eliminated and economy practiced.

THE YACHT RACE. However yncertain the chances of ‘the defender of the America’s cup may have seemed at the opening of the interna- tional yacht race, there was evidence furnished despite the loss of the first two races that it would give a good ac- count of itself and there was confidence in the ‘backers of Resolute that it would better sloop and that it had a well rec- ognized advantage in being handled by Skipper Adams. therefore has that to its eredit in making the defender go the limit In retaining the €| trophy and for that reason can be sald tof "[have come nearer than others to lifting the cup. - In the deciding race there was 8inot that kind of a breeze that was de- T) sired for a real snappy race, but it gave ©lthe defender a chance to demonstrate for ¥la second time, and under different condi= ! tions both times, that it was able to beat the contender without the aid of the time allowance. will be welcomed whenever he desire: make another, effort.

SOME REASONS FOR WORRY “‘Are you positively certain that,this is the night we are asked to dinner?” in- quired the man who was struggling with the studs in his dress shirt. “Why, Roderick!” reproachfully cried the beautifully lady who was anxiously powdering her nose under a bright light, “what a funny Muestion! Of course. it ist” “Not funny In the least,” growled her husband, jamming his thumbnail with a cufflink. “I'd like to bet a cooky with somebody that it's next week instead of tonight. Or it was last week. When tve arrive in all our glory we shall prob- ably find that our host and hostess left vesterday for California or else they will be downstairs cleaning up the coal cellar and just as glad to see us as though we were two germs of something they didn’t want to catch. Did you save the invita- tion for reference?” “They haven't used written invitations since the year 1,” reminded his wife. “Mrs. Pinks asked me over the 'phone,! of course.

When we swept up the front walk of the Ob- bles’ estate wearing set smiles and rath- er expecting to be greeted by a full brass band and trays of cocktails and things, what met us? Obble himself met us and he wasn't at all glad to see us! He was just coming around from the back yard and he carried a spade in one hand and a basket of weeds in the other; he had on an overall suit that hadn’t seen a laundry in so long it would have thought a cake of soap was an imported cheese and he had garden grime all over his face and a disreputable old straw hat on his_head. “And two seconds later Mrs. Obble dashed out of the front door wearing the dress she had on that afternoon when she made marmalade and her hair was just slicked back—and when she saw us 2 mere child could' have fold from the ex- pression in her startled eves that this was the night she had made a scant stew from what was left of the Sunday roast and that there wasn't a scap of dessert because she and the cook had been too busy for such trifies.

Can’t you call up somebody else Who is Jgoing and find out for certain? I think you're very nervous over it “Who wouldn't be nervous,” demanded the beautiful lady tartly, struggling with hooks at the back, “with you going on this way? It is perfectly ridiculous of you! Thursday doesn’t sound like any- thing on earth, but Thursday over the phone and I can’t be mistaken! I never would have had the slightest notion of being mistaken if you hadn't begun all this fuss! 1 wouldn't for the world have Mrs. Pinks think I was so careless about lgeing to her house that I'd forget the }date! If I called up Luella she'd be cer- tain to tell Mrs. Pinks about it, she’s such a cat.” 3 i “Then you are uncertain!” ecried her husband triumphantly. “I refuse to move a step toward this dinner until you have phoned Luella or President Wilson or somebody in authority and found out the date for eertain!” “T shan't call up a souk” said his wife with sudden serenity, “and you're going right along, Roderick—here’s your hat and don’t forget your hanky.” “I tell you I won't “We'll be late unless you move,” urged the beautiful lady with a charming smile, wrapping her furs around her. “But, I tell you” began her husband, rebelliously. following her mechapically las he protested, “that 1 won't!

BATHING THE BABY. Baby must be bathed at least once a day. During the hot weather one or two extra sponge baths may be given. For the first few months the temperature of | the bath should be 90 degrees to 95 de- grees F. By the end of the first year it may be lowered to 80 or 85 degrees. . The temperature of baby’s bath may be tes‘ed with the bare elbow, never with the hand. The water should feel comfortably warm to the elbow. Equipment: Baby's own tub, soap, tow- els and washrag, bath thermometer, pow- der, clean clothes, chair and table. Al these and his full set of cieon ejothing &hould be arranged beforeuanil. Face: After undressing baby, wrap him in a small blanket, wash his face, head and ears, being careful not to get soap into his_eves-and mouth. Very little soap is needed for baby’s skin. It is most im- portant that the skin should be rinsed thoroughly. Pat the skin dry with a soft towel, taking care to dry well back of the ears and in the soft folds of the neck. Undressing: To undress baby, take tha clotbes off over his leet. If held on the lap, 2 large bath towel should be placed across the lap to prevent his tender - coniing in contact with & rough or wor- sted dress, and to receive him when i is lifted out of the tub. A more convenient way of bathing the baby is to undcess him on a table instead of the lap. After the bath dress him as rapidly as possible. If the weather is eold, take care not to expose him unnece: rily. The Bath: Care should be taken never to plunge the baby into water that is too hot or too cold, not to let him fali and strike the tub or in any way to ¢-.chtened at his daily bath. If the he g is done properly, baby will enjo7 hi bath so thoroughly that the giving it will be a pleasure. Soap the eatire body thoroughly, then | place him in the bath, holding him with the left forearm under the neck and nd. with the left hand and arm. Sponge the entire body with the right hand, then lift the baby out and wrap him in a bath towel. Never rub the baby's tender skin with anything less smooth than the palm of the hand. Bran Baths: When there is any irrita- tion of theskin, such as chafing or prick- Iy heat, bran may be substituted for soap. Make a cotton bag of cheesecloth or other thin material and fill loosely with bran. Soak the bag_in the bath water, squeezing it until it becomes milky Powder: the skin, under the arms and around the buttocks, but it should not be wused so freely as to clog the pores of the skin. A highly perfumed powder should not be shoulders the left hand under his left arm nd lifting the feet and legs with right Support the baby while in the tub A little pure talcum powder may be used in the creases and folds of used. Powder should never be appli~d until the skin is thoroughly dry.
