In order to do this certain, definite needs must be provided for. These needs we call the twelve essentials. Fresh Air and Sunshine Free-flowing air day and night Is ensured by putting baby to sleep out of doors during the day ■nd giving him a well-ventilated lociu to himself at night. Deprived ©f sunlight children grow up pale and delicate. Water From the time baby is quite small, encourage him to take a drink of water daily. For drinking purposes water should be boiled. Food There is only one perfect food for baby and that is mother's milk. Clothing This should be light in weight, non-irritating and be regulated according to climatic conditions. • Bathing A bath once a day is necessary. Introduce gradually the cool sponge after baby is six months. Muscular Exercise and Sensory Stimulation Give baby a - regular time forjj kicking and waving of arms. Sen- ^! sory stimulation is derived in many*ways, through careful hand-- Warmth Baby should never be allowed to feel cold. Sensible clothing will prevent this. Regularity of All Habits This includes feeding times, sleeping hours, recreation and jegular bowel movement. Cleanliness Baby's personal hygiene, and care in all feeding utensils used in the case of artifically fed babies. Mothering Every baby requires loving handling. Management The wise mother trains her baby to accept the regular daily routine. l?est and Sleep Tf the foregoing essentials are all strictly adhered to, naturally *cst and sleep will follow as they depend on baby's comfort and training. --By permission of the New 2ealand Mothercraft Society.

Growers Urged To Disinfest All Used Potato Bags In order to prevent the further spread of Bacterial Ring Rot disease potato growers are urged to disinfect all used potato bags before they are again allowed to come in contact with potatoes, says R. E. Goodin, Fieldman, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontairo Department of Agriculture. Bags should be soaked for two hours in a solution containing one pint formalin in forty gallons of water. These may afterwards be quickly dried at this time of year by spreading out over the grass or hanging over a fence. Another method used by some potato growers is by using a hand sprayer and a solution containing one pint formalin with one p:nt water. This solution is sprayed on about every fourth or fifth bag in the pile, after which the entire pile of bags is left covered overnight with a heavy blanket or tarpaulin. Potato growers may avoid heavy losses by using every precaution to keep Bacterial Ring Rot disease away from their DELICIOUS SUPPER TREAT 2,?MSm;,l:'scaWed ' 3n?MeSp00nsbu'«r 3 taMesDn™.

He tells of fighting with a beachcomber, whom Christine knows to be her late cousin's butler. Christine finds a dagger hidden in the wall. She wishes she had not given the inspector a false name, hopes to talk to him alone. CHAPTER VIII Christine waited uncomfortably while the inspector gave some final instructions to his subordinates. But before she had an opportunity of speaking to him, the car in which she- was to be driven to headquarters drove up, and a uniformed man hurried her into it. Later, on the way upstairs to the ofiice, she heard the sergeant's voice behind her -- low, but she imagined, intentionally audible: "Pretty neat, Inspector -- that girl's being the first to touch that knife -- if her own fingerprints were already all over it." "And : Yardley's being down around that boat with that beachcomber, if you ask me," the inspector agreed. "Well, I'm expecting tome dope about both of them any-'moment." Christine, who was a "who-done-it" ian, and thought she knew all about police psychology, said to herself, "They're staging this for my benefit. I "won't let them scare Nevertheless, she . must have looked pale under the brilliant lights of the office*, for no sooner were they all seated than the inspector said to an officer at his elbow, "Get the young lady a drink. She looks sick." Christine took the water gratefully. Meantime another subordinate hurried in and put an envelope on the desk. "They've found Mrs. Talbert's car, Chief," he said in an undertone. "Locked and parked at the end of the 27th street dock. The number checks at the State office. Inspector Parsons glanced through the contents of the eff- "Okay," he nodded. "Get one of the Amalgamated officials and check up on the rest of the stockholders. . . . And wait a minute -- see if any of these keys open that car." He took a key holder from his pocket. "Now, Mr. Yardley, how long have you known Mrs. -Taibm." - ea"^." But -- why, he didn't tell me this! Christine thought. "What do you mean by 'after a fashion'?" "I met her at a horse show . where I was riding. Since then I've trained several thoroughbreds for her. But I've seen her v.ety sel- "But often enough to borrow Bill flushed angrjly under his "That's a matter of record. You can easily find ont--" "I have already found out," the inspector cut in coldly. "The . 0- papers remembers" the transaction. Several years ago Mrs. Talbert lent you $20,000." Christine listened incredulously. "In return," Inspector Parsons went on, "for a silent partnership in your firm -- which, at the time, wasn't Worth $10,000." **%s. Talbert knew that." "But which is now worth many times a« much. Your agreement with Mrs. Talbert was unusual. At tlit death of cither of you, your joint property automatically re- paying the Joan, it reverted to you. . . . Have ^-ou repaid that loan?" "Not iiiGrely." The inspector swung on Mr. "Mr. Wilmet," he said, "you own some Amalgamated stock, I be-I lieve?" Mr. Wilmet moistened his lips. "Why, yes--yes, I have a few . shares," he admitted. "It might be interesting to know-how you voted on that merger between Amalgamated and National that went through at the stockholders' meeting vesterday." "Well," Mr. Wilmet said nervously, "as a matter of fact. I didn't go to the meeting at all." "You didn't have to go. Someone else could havex;voted your ] stock by proxy." ^ "But I -- why should they?" "Mrs. Talbert wa- interested in preventing that merger. Yet two days before the meeting, Mrs. Talbert's house was suddenly closed, the servants sent on vacation, and the telephone discontinued; and Mrs. Talbert, who owned enough stock to stop that merger single-handed, apparently■ went off somewhere on a trip. I believe, some of the Amalgamated sWerkholders might know where she went and why.... Now when my men found i', yon in that drug store, about 1, £ you said you had beer, attending f'a show from 9 until after L2 o'clock. Could vou prove that?" « "No, sir." Mr. Wilme? uas white, but he spoke with a spirit that surprised Christine. "Why \. should I expect I'd have'to?". • Bill Yardley moved as if to » speak; but apparently thought better of it. The inspector glanced at him with interest; but Mr. Wilmet was going on: "And 1 must say, Inspector, that I fesent your men taking away tthe only comfortable £air of w alk-mg shoes I had. I've g5f-bad arches, and these hurt me." Christine remembered that she ;vhad seen the little man stumble ^several times after he had appeared on the Boardwalk. Now he was wriggling his small feet in their trim dress shoes in obvious j discomfort; and he seemed about , to expand on his grievances. But I the inspector cut in: I "You'll get them back... By iLthe way, Yardley, suppose you step into the next room--and you" j--- he indicated Jaspar. "We want la look at the shoes, you're wear- l f As Bill and Jasper filed obedi- 1--■af*ff| the paper. "The only prints on that dagger are identical with those Miss -- Nevin, did you say the name is? -- made on that glass she drank from a while ago. If there, were any others, someone has cleaned them off." Christine started to say, "Inspector, my name isn't--" But Inspector. Parsons had swung again upon Mr. Wilmet. "Now," he snapped, "suppose you tell me why you introduced this young lady as 'Miss Grace Nevin'?" "Why shouldn't I?" Mr. Wil-met's ineffectual chin .waggled truculently. "This young lady told me her name was 'Miss Grace Nevin.' I naturally believed it was. I haven't any reason to think it isn't." "Yet an employee from the Qrestview identified her as the young woman who registered at the hotel as Miss Christine Thor- "I still don't believe it," Mr. Wilmet declared loudly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Wilmet," Christine said "I did give you ar, -- an assumed name .. I tried to tell you Inspector." "Did you, indeed?" the in-pector asked dryly. "I hadn't .; :it«i :t."

"It makes just this difference -- that it seems a singular coinci-' dence that Mrs. Talbert's body should have been found in the paying her own cousin to work." The pink face Mr. Wilmet turned upon Christine was like a spanked, disillusioned baby's. For a moment the inspector sat, studying Christine with curious attention. Finally he said, "Miss Thorenson, there was a letter in your cousin's bag --1 stamped, sealed, and addressed to you... Perhaps you'd better read it." He handed Christine a folded sheet of paper. "My dear Christine," the letter ran, "I am distressed by the repeated reports I get of your reckless extravagance. I have already warned you that unless you gave me reason to believe that you had learned something about the care of money, I should have no choice but to change my will -- in which, as of course you know, you . are named as my chief heir. I am about to take steps to make that . change. Emma Talbert." When Christine looked up, she knew that her face must be as blank as her mind. (Continued Next Week) Troops Guided By 125,000,000 Invasion Maps A report made public by the United States War Department said that 125,000,000 maps had been prepared so that the invasion forces could "know exactly where they were going" after they landed. The making of these maps was "one of the most elaborate projects o; the war" and depended mation smuggled out under the noses of the Germans," the department said. "In war, maps are as important as food; you can't travel without them," the report explained. "They have to be accurate, and, strange as it may seem, before the war, no usable maps of Europe existed." There were plenty of maps, but they were out of date. They showed roads and buildings that no longer existed, and they failed Secret Of Invasion Weapons Well Kept The Allied Army of Liberation rammed Hitler's Westwall with firstVme.6 ^ ™P°nS While not disclosing the types and actual number of these weapons, the British Ministry of Supply said factories had been manufacturing them for many months past under the greatest secrecy. Often workers themselves did not know what they were making. The weapons, many so vital they were made in small parts at widely separated plants, were brought together only for final assembly. Workers in these plants were conducted a nightly census o! the inhabitants but still the raids v -nt on without a bomb dropped or. in-inipor'tant targets.
