Let him play and sleep in clean, well-

much as possible.
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes,
which allow free play of the limbs and
muscles.
Regular hours for feeding.
Early hours for sleeping.
A baby requires much more sleep than
a grown person.
Early to bed and early to rise makes
a baby healthy, and shows a mother wise.
The most important duty of the moth

of her own home and her town a safe
place for her own children to be born
in and to live in.

“Rags” Violates Regulations
There is one member of the American
Expeditionary Forces who doesn’t be
lieve in signs. He is in the occupied
zone, and goes by the name of “Rags,”
tho the German hausfraus thereabout
call him "Schrccklichkeit,” which might
be translated “The Terror,” for Rags is
an adept at chicken-chasing. The other
day he dragged himself thru the wire
barrier in utter defiance of the posted
notice that said, “Neutral Zone—United
States Army Limits,” in pursuit of a
clucking biddy, who fled in an explosion
of feathers and squawks before him. A
quarter of an hour later, Rags returned
panting and happy. He is the only mem
ber of the American Expeditionary
Forces who has entered the zone of oc
cupation without challenge.
Light Rolls
Take one-half Fleischman’s yeast cake;
dissolve it in a little warm water. Stir
up a sponge with w'arm water into one
and one-half cups flour. Add a little
salt. Keep it in a warm place until it
rises up double the quantity. Use three
cups flour. Cook one medium siie Irish
potato, mash fine, and add two table-
spoonfula of sugar. Stir mto the sponge,
and if the sponge is not sufficient to
make a stiff dough add a little warm
water. Knead fifteen minut«s, then put
in a warm place to rise. Let rise, and
work down; when it rises the third time.
use two tablespoonfuls of sugar, two
of shortening, and then work into rolls.
Let them rise until double the quantity,
and then bake.
A Toast to Badin
Here’s to dear old Badin, the best town
we ever will see;
Here’s to the ones who compose it, they’re
good as people can be;
Here’s to the ones that leave it, to travel
o’er land and sea—
But for the Boobs who knock it, you’ll
get no toast from me.

Editor’s Vacation
Mr. F. A. Cummings, Welfare Direc
tor, and Editor-in-Chief of The Badin
Bulletin, has been sojourning in the
North. He has taken in New York,
Baltimore, and other Eastern cities.
Of course it may have been only a
happy coincidence that took him to the
big cities just before July 1; but any
way we hope he had a very pleasant
time.
