This is not such a bad idea, after ^ all. for prevention cf disease is much more imjwrtant than curing it. ; The mother of the young child dreads the heated summertime, know- ing that this is a trying period. A few simple rules persistently follow- 1 ed will do much to keep baby well. i Give plenty of cool, boiled, drinking Water. This ahoud be offered at least once every hour when baby is awake. Be regular with the morning bath. If the day is very warm, give a sponge bath also at bedtime. Do not dress too wai-mly. Avoid drafts, sudden changes of temperature and chills by having a light wrap or .iackct which may be put on if the weather changes or it becomes otherwise necessary. See that baby's bowels are in good condition. It is very important that the little one have at least one com- plete movement every day. If there is any sign of dige;»tive disturbance, feed more lightly than usual and try to discover just what article of diet is to blame. Perhaps the milk is not modified right or the feed in the pas- tures is short and the cows are being fed on ensilage. This makes a gassy, indigestible milk. Po.ssibly the food is too rich or not nourishing enough, or .something is being given unsuited to the child's age. | If dysentery attacks the baby, with- ' hold milk. Feed upon rice or barley water and whey. Give a dose of castor oil to dear away the offending ma- terial and summer a physician at once. There is little use calling him unless you follow his advice to the letter. | One mother whose child had an at- tack of diarrhea realised the danger of this disease and summoned a physi- ! cian. He forbade the giving of any | milk until his return twenty -four | hour.s later. The baby l)egan to | show marked improvement when man- ; aged according to his direction.^. The ' next morning the mother felt so sorry 1 for the little one because he could only | have barley water that she ventured to give him half a l>ottle of milk. The ! child was not restless without it, but! she was sure he must need it . The child took the milk with apparent .sat- i iijfaction, however, and the mother i was sure she had done the right thing. Half an hour later the whole family ' vas thrown into sudden consternation! by the dintressing sight of the child in a terrible convulsion. Fortunately the doctor lived near, and his prompt answer to the call saved the day. When the little c)ne hud been taken Out of its bath of warm water and itg ! stomach emptied of the ma.ss i..' curds which had caii84:(l the trouble, the doc-' WELL IN SUMMER. tor turned accusingly to the mother and said: "I am sorry, but you are to blame for this." Do as the doctor tells you. You pay him to know. If you have not confidence that he doe.s know, call some one else who merits your con- fidence. Be sure that any food supplies are fresh and pure. Gruel used as a diluent should be made fresh every day and kept on ice. Milk should not be allowed to stand about in a doorway or a kitchen, but placed in cold storage at once. See that bot- tles and nipples are washed and scald- ed between usings. Throw away any food left over from a feeding. Do not store baby's milk next to fish Or other foods whic-h will contaminate it. Do not leave the cleansing of the milk utensils to any one else. See to it yourself. Turn the nipples wrong side out. If the holes in the nipples become so large that the milk flows too rapidly, either thrcrw the nipple awa.v or close up the opening with a red-ho' needle and make a new one. Avoid excitement for children, es- pecially in warm weather, and see that their naps are regular and ade- quate. Do not wean baby during the heat of summer. Pasteurize the milk as an element of safety unless you are absolutely certain as to its purity and freshness. Know for a certainty where baby's milk comes from â€" whether the barn or stable is dean and the condition under which it is milked, bottled and delivered. If you cannot make this investigation personally, an inciuiry to the proper authorities should bring you the ne- cessary information. The milk of Jersey cows is likely to be overrich and to need more dilution than usual. Use a glass graduate with the ounces marked on the side in prepar- ing artificial food. Do not depend upon guesswork. See that baby's clothing, and csi)ecially the napkins, are carefully rinsed free of all soap, or chafing will re.sult. Do not use napkins the second time without washing. Air and sun beibling and clothing. Do not let a littls child lie with its clothing wet. This is likely to cause irritation and encour- ages tlie habit of bed wetting. Be regular with a child in all its habits. Do not offer attention or continual amusement if the little one can l)e contented without them. Re- member that flies and insects are a menace, as they carry dangerous dis- ease germs from place to place. Sim- ple, soft, fresh clothing makes baby much more comfortable than fussy garments, stiffly starched or soiled ones. Avoid the i>os3ible contagion of crowds. After Meal-lime. Prepare your dishes carefully for their i-leansing. It pays. ITie ex- j>erience<l hou.-iekeeper, of course, washes her cooking utensils as she goes along so that not many are left to by taken cure of after the meal. These should be piled next to tho dish- pun, fireasy pans may be wiped out with soft paper, which then makes good fuel. All other dishes, ^ates, cups and iwuc^ers, and silvc-r Hhould be put together in neat stacks in the order in which they are to be washed, ('upa ihould be rinsed and platea hcraped and rinsed before they are piled together. All bowls and other utensils, which have held itarchy fooda, should be filled promptly with fold water. Tho*e which have had In them sugary food* or .sticky ones, like gelatine, should be filled v^th hot water. A« soon us a milk jar or can li omptied it should promptly be fill- ed with cold water. The preferrod order in which tn wash the dishes is | to dispose first of pots and pans. Then, tn fresh water, wash Ul« gU«s, : th«n the •llvtr. ami then the china.

The fannhouso kitchen ahoulci. If possible, face th« direction from which the summer winds uome. Such an ex- posure is not always itossible, but an opening through another room some- times allows the air to snter from that (juartir. Doors and wimlows ^houlii bu wei.l screened; outride blind* will either tamper the sun's rays or ki-ep out the rnin. Paint or oil the floor if it is hard and smooth; if it is not, cover it with linoleum. Small rugs or rubber mats placed before the stove, siidc and table prevent strain on the muscles and rest the feet. Painted walls, or those coveied with washaWe paper, togeth- er with well painted woodwork, look and feel cool . A sink with running water keeps the housewife's temperature down, and so does a flreless cooker. The coal or wood stove should be supple- mented by one burning gas or oil. Of the latter type, the blue -flame stove is highly satisfactory. A kitchen cabinet Is invaluable for saving steps and space. No family within roach of ice should attempt to get through tJie summer without a re- frigerator. Where expense must be considered, a well-made ice-chest of good dimensions is preferable to a poor refrigerator or one which is too small to give good service. The kitchen should open on to a porch so that the busy housewife may bu temptod to spend more time in the (juen air, while by using it, much of tue clutter and dirt can be kept out of tM kltcheti. Air, space, sanitarv surroundings and. i^l'npet eciulnment are conducive to health at all times, but never more so than during the iumraer. A pasture run will greatly reduce th* cost of making pork .

Jerry made no reply He turned I and descended the steps and Mrs. Scanlan clewed the door with a trium- phant slam. After climbing to his seat in tlie cart Jerry sat listless and held the reins in a listless hand. Th-it promis- ing future of which he had been so cheerfully prattling was extinKuish- ed; the city that he had thought of as glowing with opportunity lay now be- fore him dark and hostile, and he felt robbed of the courage to attack. How could Nora have done it? he a.sked, and his imaginatioii supplied the ans- wer. She had done it in order to escape poverty and want. Well, per- haps she would be happy. It was late in the afternoon when, having unloaded his cart and put up his horse, he arrived at his Aunt Bridget's; he knew from the first glance at his mother and his aunt that there had been a passage at arms. Mrs. Donohue had gathered the two little girls into one arm and Peter into the other; the children were tearful, her eyes were snapping, and Mrs. Murphy wore the satisfied and martyred expression of one who has performed without flinching an unpleasant duty. She was severely gracious in bidding farewell tr her guests; a spirit of foreboding seemed to accompany her v.ishes for their welfare. Mrs. Donohue's expression of appreciation for the hospitality en- joyed was not effusive. She and Jerry walked to their now lodgings, the three children following behind. "She upbraided me with my folly in taking them to live with us," she said to Jerry in an indignant un- dertone. "And them right there to hear it. I'll never go near the woman again. Why were you so long upon the road, Jerry ? I thought you'd never come." "Was I long?" said Jerry. "So long I was sure something had happened to you. Did anything get broke?" "Nothing of value. Only my heart." Jerry looked at his mother with a humorous grin. "Now what's your nonsense?" "Yes, that was it. My heart got broke soon after I started, and I had to drive slow to keep the pieces to- gether. That's why I was late." "Jerry, what are you talking alwut?" "Well, I stoppe<l at the Scanlans" to say good-bye to Nora. But she was out with her husbaivd â€" Charley Corcoran. They were married last night. So I just sort of jogged into tcrwn after that." "Oh, Jerry!" His mother looked up at him with love and sympathy, and he knew that she wanted to press his hand. "She wasn't worthy of you, Jerry; II hate her." "Don't do that, mother." He turn- ed and said briskly to the children following behind, "You're going to like living in here. School's just round the corner, and you'll make a lot of friends, and sometimes in our building you can go up and play on the roof." Kate smilwl grateful. "Peter will like that, won't you, Peter?" Peter agreed that he would like it, and little Betty declared that she would like it too. ".^nd it's the snug little place that you'll have to live in," said Jerry. "Kind of like a doll-house, it's so snug." CHAPTER XI. Jerry did not allow many days to go by without seeking an intierview with his friend Roger Trask. He found that Trask had been mindful of his promises and had ot>tained all the' infoi-mation that a candidate for the' police force might need in order to prepare himself. Trask in fact ae-j companied him to the offices of the Civil Service Commission and saw him enrolled as an applicant. | "And now," Trask said, "all you can do is to wait your turn and meanwhile make yourself fit." i "I've gcH to do more than that," said Jerry. "I've got to find a job. You don't know of one, do you, Mr. Trask?" | No, Tratk could not help him there. I He tried to help him; he mad« in-' riuiries among his friends who were employers of labor, but met with no encouragement. Business was in a! dopres.seil condition, the number of the unemployed was increasing, no one se<'med to have need of a skilled ironworker. Jerry, making the rounds of blacksmith shops, machine shops, iron foundries, grew mcwe and more disheartened. He became more sensitive about going home at night with no success to rejwrt; he thought his mother must soon begin to lose confidence in him, and he wondere^l if with all his health and strength there was no work that he might be permitted to do. He wondered how, men got jobs; he was willing to serve an apprenticeship at anything, but wherever he applie<l he was t(>ld that there was nothing then, but that he! might inquire again in a month or, two. Never before in his life had Jerry known what it was to envy a fellow man arkd now there was, scarcely a man that he passed on the | sfeet without envy without the thought, "if soppofif J'oii have u job."| There was Arm.strong. who with hisj wife and two c-hildren occupit>d the first-floor suite of the ap<u-tment house and who, as Jerry soon discST-! ered, came home; tipey every Saturday- night a meanlookmg;, ferret -eyed | creature, yrt he earned good \vajte»] in a plumbing shop; Jerry ventured to ask him on« day if he woubj be willing to use his influence with his employer to get him received as an, apprentic a request that drew the coolly insolent rejoinder, "NothingI doing." Jerry flushed to the eyes with mortification, choked down his wrath in silence, and thereafter when he met Armstrong pased him with- out a glance of recognition. Indeed, he had further reason to regret hav- ing approached his ungracious neigh- j bor, for as it happened on that same 1 day, when he had returned discourag- j ed from the search for work and was sitting weary and with vacant mind in I his mother's room, he heard thej trampling of children outside on the stairway and then the shrill voice of i the older Armstrong girl. | "Paddies! Paddies! Irish Paddies!" "We're not Paddies!" Jerry heard Peter cry; and then the voice of Kate, more loyal, rang out: "Well, what if we are Paddies?" "My mother won't let me go with Paddies," declared the shrill voice triumphantly. "My mother says it's a shame Catholic Paddies should live in this house." "We're not Catholic Paddies." "Y'our folks are." "Well, I'd rather be a Paddy then than what you are." "My mother sayst they're all liars and they'll burn in hell fire." "Don't you dare say such things!" "Who'll stop me?" It was Peter that replied: "Jerry's going to be a policeman and he'll ar- 1 rest you." An uncontrollable cackle of laugh- ! { ter attested the amusement of the I I Armstrong progeny. "Policeman no-j â-  thing. He's just a loafer, my moth-i j er says." I "He is not â€" and when he's a police- : man he'll arrest you," Peter scream- \ led; and little Betty began to cry. j I "Come, Peter, don't speak to them i ^ any more," said Kate. i "Paddies! Paddies! Irish Pacidies!" I rose the taunting chorus, and it was i still sounding when Kate, flushed and ' with eyes blazing, pushed her brother 'and sister into the room. She did not ' see Jerry, seated near the window. "Y'ou just wait there," she said, "till I finish off tho.se two limbsâ€"" "Oh. Kate," said Jerry, and she turned startled and stood motionless. "I wouldn't pay any attention to them; just let them alone â€" that's best." "But you didn't hear what they said, Jerry." "Y'es, I did. The best way to treat people like that is to have nothing to do with them." Kate was reluctant to abandon her design of revenge. "I'd have slapped them, I'd have pulled their hair, if Betty hadn't got frightened and started to cry." Jerry delivered a wise lecture on the advantage of bearing one's self with dignity. "I've got to practice it against the time when 1 get to l>e a cop," he said. ".\nd a cop's family has to be just as dignified as he is. You just remember that when kids give you their sass; just walk away with your nose in the air." In the evenings Jerry became a fre- c^uenter of the Y.M.C.A. Building; there he prepared himself for the civil service examination by exercis- ing in the gymnasium and by joining the class of candidates that received instruction twice a week from various ' lecturers. He learneii to know the difference between a mittimus and a subpoena; he bacamc able to tell what a felony is. and why it is worse than a misdemeanor; he learne<i that a simple assault is not assault and bat- tery, and that perjury is not sub- ornation of pverjury. He learned when a patrolman may arrest and when he may not, when he needs a warrant and when he doesn't â€" and after he had learned these and many I other puzzling, necessary facts, he I fouiul that there were still many more ] that he must be prepiired to know. I The more nearly he became qualified for meml>ership in the police force, ' the higher rose his respect for those who already wore the uniform; he had never before realized what a fund of . knowledge it w^s necessary for the ] ordinary patrolman to accjuire. "I'm i almost a lawyer already," he said to his mother after about a month of such tstudy. "Sure, to be a cop is to belong to one of the learned profes- sions." (To be continued.)

And England, happy in peace sMOre, rested in quiet ease. While wakeful watch and ward tho kept along the heaving seal. She watched unsleeping where the far tides sweep And the nearer waters roar, And her spirit called across th# deep, "Here for Freedom my tryst I keep Evermore." Twisted and torn with shot and shell and patterned with marks of pride, She summoned her strength for a last long call and staggered away on the tide; No fury of fire could stay her course; she went her destined way.
