Slimmer Notes for the Baby. Tha
iot season is a trying one for both
mother and babe. This should be
remembered by every one in the
household, who should do all in their
power to help relieve the mother of
other work and give her an oppor
tunity of caring for her baby and her
self, relieving her mind from other
matters, as summer has many wor
ries for the mother and dangers for
the little ones.
The infant should sleep on a cot
by itself, not in a bed with other
people. It should have plenty of
fresh water to drink, and adjust thj
amount of clothing to suit the weath
er. Do not let the babe suffer from
heat neither expose it to cold
draughta The flannel stomacher
for babies should be worn in summer
always. It prevents chilling of the
bowels, which is a common source
of diarrhoea. The milk should be
heated to 170 degrees F. This is
sufficient to kill the germs in it, but
not make it indigestible as it would
be If boiled. . If the baby's bowels
are too loose, scald the milk given,
until they become properly regulated.
A little lime water should be added
'to neutralize the acidity in the stom
ach or correct the milk when it is
!on the point of turning though not ac
tually sour.
To Make Lime Water. Take a
piece of unslacked lime the size of a
'hen's egg, pour on half a gallon of
perfectly pure water. Shake well
and allow to stand for a few hours,
then use the clear water on top.
Bottles and nipples should be given
especial care In hot weather. Nipples
should be washed in scalding water
and then kept in a vessel of water, in
which a teaspoonfnl of borax or so
dium bicarbonate of soda has been
: added to a quart of water. The
greatest possible care must be given
to containers for babies' food, inas
much as milk develops poisons which
; are very dangerous. A little borax
added to the bath of the child in hot
weather Is better than to use soap.
which often promotes chafing and
discomfort.
, Over-feeding as I have often told
yoa, kills by far more people than
starvation. I mean by that, actual
starvation for want of food, for there
' are cases of starvation in which an
over-abundance of food is eaten daily
and but little if any of it digested
not enough to repair the natural
waste. In the case of infants there
are two processes necessary. Nutri
tion which simply replaces that which
in worn out and discarded and assim
ilation, which builds new tissue or re
places that which has been Injured
or destroyed.
I have many times cautioned you
against over-eating, don't overfeed
the baby. Keep it and its food clean.
Dress It cool in the summer and
warm in the winter and you won't
have many sick spells to contend
with.
CLUB NOTES.
Dear Doctor:
Would you kindly answer through
the club notes what to do for the

Whether I perspire or not, this otr

consulted several physicians. Does
this trouble stay with one all through

C. D.
(Answer). The complaint which
you describe i3 a very annoying one.
but as a rule may be readily over
come by simple treatment Wash
the surface affected daily with
strong solution of borac acid or wita
a 1 per cent solution of formalin in
water. Internally a special prepara
tion or issue foods should be taken,
A wash composed of vinegar to which
has been added two teaspoonfuls of
salt and a teaspoonful of red pepper
to the pint is also often very effective.
A laxative and nonstimulating diet
should be used, consisting principally
of bran bread, green vegetables, fruits
and fruit juices and buttermilk. Meat
and eggs especially should be avoided
for a time. Plenty of water should
be taken, at least four to five pints
daily. If the feet are affected, pow
dered boric acid should be dusted into
the stockings, and the home treat
ment for sweating feet, mentioned in
Vol. 2 of the Home Health Club
books carried out
I have always read the Home Health
Club columns and now I want a little
information, if any one can give it to
me. I am troubled with nervous
ness, and it is bad. I am obliged to
take medicine nearly every night in
order to get any sleep. If there is
anyone among the readers that can
tell me what will do me any good,
please do so, for it is a terrible dis
ease. I am an old man 80 years old.
Now, please help me if possible.
C. G.
(Answer). In order to be able to
give InteHigent advice in such a case
as yours, it is necessary for me to
now particulars. Nervous troubles,
including insomnia, may be due to
various disorders. Very often the
digestive and eliminating organs are
at fault, such as indigestion, liver,
Kidney and bowel troubles. Fre
quently cases of that character are
due to excesses, too heavy work
pnysical or mental, sometimes to
transgressions of the laws of nature.
injuries to the spine or brain, afflic
tions of the eye, in fact most diseases
to which man is heir may produce
an extremely sensitive nervous con
Qitlon. To use morphine, opiates
and similar drugs may produce sleep
for the night, but they greatly weaken
your whole system. The more you
take, the more you want, and the
doses must be frequently increased
in order to serve their purpose. Write
me fully. Tell me as well as you can
how the trouble started. Give me
a brief history of the ailment from
the very beginning, and I shall be
glad to take the matter up with you
further.
SOrSA'S NEW WEDDING MARCH.
Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 8 The long
heralded American wedding march,
written by Lieutenant John Philip
Sousa, U. S. N. R. F., was played here
last night under the direction of the
composer. It met with great favor.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch says: "It
approaches a classical intricacy, but
brings forth clearly a very sweet
melody symbolic of happy affection."
General Pershing reported 358 sol
diers and 140 marines on the latest
casualty list.

Art Collection
Now Stored Safely
Philadelphia, Aug. 8 The $4,500,
000 are collection bequeathed by John
G. Johnson to this city is now safely
stored in a fireproof -warehouse. Mr.
Johnson was a lawyer of international
faime and his hobby was buying' pic
tures. He was well known abroad as
an art expert. The Johnson collec
tion includes about 1,600 paintings.
In bequeathing his collection to
Philadelphia Mr. Johnson stipulated
that the treasures should be kept on
exhibition in his home and that the
city should annually appropriate mon
ey to care for them. It was decided
that a collection of such value should
be contained in a fireproof gallery
and the residence is now being altered
with this object in view.
It is said that outside of the British
National Gallery there is perhaps no
collection of classic paintings that is
so chronologically complete as is that
accumulated by Mr. Johnson; and it
is certain that there is nowhere any
private gallery to be compared with
these carefully selected exemplars of
Italian, Flemish, French, Dutch, Ger
man, Spanish and English schools oi
art. Mr. Johnson's collection is prac
tically an embodied history of paint
ing for the long period which it in

NO FATAL CASES
OF BATULISM
With the American Army In Eng
land, Aug. 8 A few cases of batulism
have been discovered in the American
army but none has resulted fatally and
the medical corps has encountered no
difficulty in checking the spread of
the disease.
A greater number, of cases have
been found in the British forces but
the percentage is not much larger
there and, while deeply interested in
the character of this latest of war
diseases, physicians, both British and
American, profess a conviction that it
will not become so prevalent as to be
come a menace. One of the victims
in the American army has been an
officer at headquarters. He recover
ed, only a slight drooping of the eye
lids remaining some days after he
was discharged, as a reminder of his
illness.
Little regarding the causes of the
lisease has yet been learned. The
symptoms include an inordinate desire
to sleep, supplemented often by a
slight rash and a tendency to deler
ium. The patient sometimes is left
in a partly paralyzed state. In a few
cases only has it proved fatal.
DESPONDENT WOMEN
Nature intends every woman to be
cheerful, light-hearted and happy, but
when dragged down with pain and
suffering from female ills, will power
along cannot overcome a nervous,
despondent condition. Multitudes of
American women, however, have
found that there is one tried and true
remedy to restore health under such
circumstances, and that is Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from herbs and roots. This old
fashioned medicine is now considered
the standard American remedy for
such conditions. Adv.

EXISTENCE VERY
DIFFICULT TASK
IN PETR06RA

Petrgorad, Aug. 8. The difficulties -hedging
in existence of those who livei;
in Petrograd during these times of
disturbed regime and shortage in ne
cessties of life, extend in all their
details to the ordinarily simple task
of buying a shirt- To accomplish this
takes time, patience and detcrmina i
tlon.
First, one must find the shirt. One
may visit forty shops befdre he finds n "
one of the proper size. The tjues
tion of preference of style is not to - ',
be considered for one moment. Other- !,
wisr nnR win n fivp,r tret rue smrL. nnv,. m
Ing found something that resembles
a shirt of the proper size, one rjgpna.jj c
its a small payment to nom it. j
The next thing is to convince one's j
house committee there is a commune"';
in every apartment house in Petro
grad now that he needs a shirt. If 3
the house committee passes favorably
on the subject, it so reports to the pre
cinct or district "soviet" or commune. '
This in turn reports to the commis
sary in charge of the distribution of
shirts and kindred articles of clothing. '
If one Is quite lucky, after five or
six days time, he receives a duly sign- iv;
ed and sealed permit to buy a shirt.. ,:,
Then he buys it, but ordinarily paya
the Russian equivalent of $15 or $20.' .
Some of the poorest quality, may be'
found as low as the Russian equlva-9
lent of $5. 1
This restriction of purchase extend cr
to all major articles of men's and wo
men's clothing and shoes, and, recent
ly, because of the linen and cotton' ;
goods shortage, was applied to hand
kerchiefs. Prices for everything are
In proportion to the shirts, an ordin-
ary suit ot men's clothing costing thv
equivalent of $100. -
