Free Exhibits of Care, Food, Training.! and Pastime Will Be Feature of the Work. Wry much' of the comfort of a chiMj depends upon his having the right : kind of clothing. This is especially ! true in summer. During the hot1 hot months children should wear just 1 as little clothing as possible. Babies | require only a diaper and one other j garment, while runabout babies and; children up to five will be amply: clothed in waist and drawers, with -,m other garment, preferably a cotton! slip, apron or rompers. The one-piece dress is a great boon j to busy mothers, being easy to make, I to wash and iron. If the kimono sleeve] is used the dross will be cooler. but! in sonic garments the set-in slcevo is; less rlumsv and wears better. Romp'j ers. loose at the knee and low nocked , and short sleeved, may be used -for tliei little girls and boys alike. Denim over- 1 alls are rather cumbersome for the hot* test weather. but are adapted to the coal days. .Starrhed, frilled and fussy garments are all alike unsuitable for young chil dren whose clothing should be such as will make them perfectly comfort able and permit, the freest play. Cotton is the best material for out side garment, since a child of this age should have no clothes which cannot | he washed. Mothers disagree as to i the comparative merits of white cloth* I ing and colored. White garments may! be boiled and thus the amount of nth-| bine necessary to get them clean is very greatly "lessened. On the other hand, white dresses are soiled aimos* as soon as the child begins to play out of doors. It must be remembered that while white or light colors show chei 0 A S T O R I A For Infants and Children. ^ v ~~ In Use For Over 30 Years ?f ? _ i 'soil sooner, there may be just as much dirt on tho darker ones. Light colors, as blue, preen, laven der and pink are almost certain tq fade unless washed with particular [care. Gingham* fade less, but often shrink badly. These materials should be shrunk before being made up. Seer sucker and cot torn crepes have the ad vantage of needing no ironing.

State of West Virginia, 1,412,602, an increase of 191. (S3. City of Wheeling, 43,657, an increase of 2,016. Estimated 1917 populations for the ten largest, cities in West Virginia, with the computations based on the rate of growth for the decade of 1900 1910, are its follows: 1910 1917 . Tnrr.

However, Huntington people ? who are. never accused of mod esty as population claimants ? say tho estimate now made is really not up to their actual 1917 figures. How is* that for nerve in a. city that cannot, boast of as many voters, nor as many school children," nor half as much wealth as Wheeling? I But the thing that hurts is that Wheeling, if not already relegated to second place, must be .eventually un less its boundaries are extended. Take the area of Wheeling and Huntington, for example. Huntington's Is 7,S92 acres and Wheeling's only 1,345 acres. And Huntington is even threatening to take in another big section of Ca bell county and is ambitious to have legislative sanction to annex part of Wayne county. So It is easy to be seen that unless Warwood and the om the-pike district are brought into the municipality of Wheeling before the 1920 census is taken this city may ac tually be relegated to the doubtful honors of being the state's "second city."

Wheeling Commercial Association to Accept Only Those Who Can not Enlist for U. S. A number of additional enrollments of Wheeling district men in the "Farm- j ers' Rrigade" to assist on farms in I Ohio county this summer wore re- j reived at the Wheeling Commercial i association yesterday.
