THERE’S A REASON. i
(By Wightman F. Melton in Atlanta
Georgian)
Why are there no poems of merit on ears
and noses)
Some years ago the versatile Ella Wheeler
Wilcox wrote a series of verses on the human
body, beginning withthe crown of the head
and ending with the little toe. Her verses on
the hair, eyes, lips, cheeks, chin and hands ars
pretty good. The verses on ears, the nose and
the little toe are nothing more than exer
cises in nonsense.

continued Mr. Howe, **• gentleman was calling,
and sat between me and the light. I began
noticing Ids ears and marveling at them. The
light made them red; *o here was a roan not
only with strange flaps on either side of his

men hide their ears because they realize they
are as funny looking aa their feet. No one ever

Generally ears are neither serious nor fun

is a serious matter. Artificial eyes and limbs
are not unusual. Some of them are so perfect,
in design and fit, as to be scarcely distinguish
able from the natural; but who has seen an
artificial nose or an artificial ear) There are
celluloid ears ,which can be held in place by
an invisible wne over the top of the head, but
they are seldom needed and are hard to make
fit snugly. Certainly an artificial ear, when
needed, is not funny.
Now, why is it that story-writers and
poets devote pages to eyes, hair and lips, but
seldom so much as mention ears and noses?
There are two reasons: First, the nose and ears
are motionless, ecept as the head is moved,
and are, therefore incapable of changing their
expression; second, ears and noses are more
or uniform in shape and color. There an
other reasons: the eyes, in addition to varying
colors and shades, can and do express love
hate, joy or sorrow; the eyes are the
through which the soul looks out upon
world; second, the hair varies in color, shades,
texture, amount and manner of wearing; third,
the lips, naturally rosy in health and
n pA pale in sickness and age, are silently,
mtfet, as expressive as the eyes; and from
lips is spoken the fullness of the heart.

HYGIENE IN CARING
FOR BABY.
By Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, Surgeon General,
U. S. Public Health Service.
You should, know that while baby is healthy
it is not necessary to wash the inside of the
baby's mouth until teeth appear. Baths should
be given at least once a day, and during the
summer months three or four tepid sponge
baths daily help.
Protect your baby from perspiration, B
careful about the amount of clothes and edv
erings you use. Rubber or waterproof nap
kins should be used only over a cloth napkin.
Baby's clothing should be changed a3 fre
quently as necessary to keep it dry and clean.
In doing the baby’s laundry a good soap
should be used, one which contains no free
alkali. If it is necessary to use some other
soap, it should be thoroughly rinsed from
garments before they are dried, otherwise
will cause irritation of the tender skin with
skin eruptions. Every article of clothing
used, no matter how slightly soiled or damp
ened, should be washed before being used
again.
Never hang up slightly dampened article* of
clothing to dry for use again without washing.
All baby's clothing should be dried in
sun and air out of doOrs, and not by
kitchen stove. Sunlight and pure air are
uable sterilising agents
A baby should be gradually accustomed
outdoor life and always be so clothed as
prevent any great loss of body heat,
does not mean that baby, properly wrapped,
may not be allowed to sleep on the front
even in cool weather.
Caro thould be taken also not to clothe
baby too warmly in summer, Exposure to
direct rays of the sun is also harmful, Yo.
baby will develop strength by proper care
food and not by overcoming hardships.
Never allow your baby to be exposed to
contagious disease so he may have it while
is small. This is particularly true of
cough—ninety-five per cent of all
from whooping cough are in children
five years of age.

ORGOTTEN.
(By George Matthew Adams)
It is a natural thing to glow with enthusi
asm for big things, to tackle them, even, and
put them through to a successful conclusion.
There seems to have been born into the
human race from the earliest— r e co rd. some
thing that strove for higher things. Wk* speak
of that striving often as the hunger of the
soul or the craving of the spirit.
The name doesn't matter. , We have the
records of discovered cities—buried for cen
tries—and from the things discovered we learn
of the habits and ideals of thoSej$fo long for
gotten. There were kings and queens and im
portant people who dressed in the finest rai
ment and went around all spangled up as
though they amounted to a great deal. But
now we have only the bones and buried trin
kets of that day to teach us the story of the
world.
I found a book the other day that told tho
most interesting stories of men in ordinary life,
who never did anything notable but who at
tracted attention and caused at least one writer
to make a record of their doings. This book
was written over a hundred* years ago. but it
was alive with interest. But every man in the
record had long ago been forgotten.
Not all the great of this earth are remember

But how wonderful to parade in the clothes

tribute daily to names and characters long

lore said to have been written 6000
