The scisntists are right, of course. We must have babies sound In wind and limb. But I am

When William came to the laolatlon ward, he had no clothes. The nurses made him diapers, and

nighties, and knitted aorks. and other garments of infancy.

They were too buey to pay much attention to him. He waa pretty sick. He still Is thin and puny

and a little listless BUT HE HAS NEVER CRIED HE COUNTS HIS FINGERS BY THE HOUR.

When It Is pe:mltted one of his 29 busy mothers to visit him, he stops counting his fingers.

There comes Into his patient eyes a quick look of gladneas. He laughs and plays peek-a-boo behind

his handa.

The matron was as scientific as any doctor. But when she gave me her well

considered opinion of William, she did nit speak as a scientist. She gathered

William in her arms, and kissed him. And William laughed and returned the

kiss—a slobbery salute.

"He's more mine than the nurses'," said the matron, jealously. "I'm mother

in-chief. We're going to keep him always. He's the best baby in the world!"

It is n two to one bet that they have gotten their

information from reading the ads. That is one of the

most interesting functions of the" advertising columns,

especially to the ladies. They portray fashion's

pictures, drawings, photographs, etc. The careful

reader of the ads in The Star is sure to be right up
