FOOD FOR THE BABY.
What should BE Fed to the Infant
to Build IL Up During Its
First Year.

If parents would recognize the duty
of informing themselves as to the
proper feeding of babies and very
young children, much unnecessary ILL
ness and loss of life would be avoided,
says Youths Companion.
BY Informing themselves" is meant
the gaining of some actual knowledge
of the physiological needs of children
as regards diet. People are too apt to
take for granted that food performs
the same Office for a child that it per-
forms for an adult, and this is dam
gerous mistake to make.
In adults the materials of which the
body is composed are constantly be-
ing used up and renewed, and il the
food taken is not adapted to this re-
newing process, or if too little or too
much is taken, then the whole system
must suffer. But the grown-up per-
son does not need to store material for
future growth as much as must the
child; growth is at an end, and the
only need is to keep the machinery
going. In other words, the adult needs
from food only the fuel to make en-
ergy and heat, and the material to
supply the daily waste.
The child needs the material, not
only to make up for the waste, but also
to make new and more bony frame
work, fat and muscle. Babies are born
with a supply of certain necessary ma
terials, not contained in milk, stored
up in their bodies, upon which their
systems can draw through the first
months of life, and in this way the lack
in milk-the first foods balanced.
II, however, child is kept too long
on an exclusive milk diet. it will use
up all this stored material, especially
the iron, which is so necessary to
healthy blood, and begin to suffer from
the lack of it. To this fact may be
traced the pasty complexion and fab
biRess of children who are weaned too
late. Their blood is crying out for
iron, which milk cannot furnish in sut-
ficient quantities.
In order to supply this defect the
cereals, which are rich in iron, should
be added. Among these the best is
oatmeal. which contains much that is
needed for the growth of the child.
If ii is carefully cooked and strained,
the resultant jelly is one of the most
.digestible of foods. This addition Of
farinaceous food to the milk shold be
made about the eighth or ninth
month, according to the development
.cf the child, and should suffice to the
end Of the first year. 1t should not
be begun in hot weather. as it is apt
at that time to cause fermentation in
the stomach and induce diarrhoea.

a new dialect dictionary of English
words is being prepared by Prof.

in 1905, and will contain 100000 words
Yorkshire alone contributing 10000.
Among the rare books recently sold
in London were Millions 'Lycidas,"

about $1,000; Isaac Watts Divine

Philadelphia, in 1744, at about $3.50.
1t is told of Bret Harte that of all
his stories he preferred "Tennessee's

tale is actuated by love and pity en-.

The duke of Argyle, brother-in-law
of King Edward, is 81, and pays more

Saul having crossed the dark river

sort of an inscription he should place

finally decided on this, which has been

FLANNEL SHOULD BE WORN.
This Fabric Is Much More HealthfuI
Than other Woolens for
Underwemr.


In England one sees much of the
hygienic woolen underwear which is
so strongly urged for general adop-
tion, but in this country it is less conc
mon. From a sanitary point of view
this is pity since physicians regard
it is a preventative of many forms of
disease. 1t affords the body the great
est protection against cold, heat and
dampness, with the least obstruction
to the body's eXhalation. These conGi-
tions are instinctively felt to be better
fulfilled by wooden than by linen or cot
ton fabrics. Hence the very general
use of flannel garments by athletes and
by members of cricket, boating and
other sporting clubs, who are called
upon to engage in vigorous physical
exercise likely 10 cause profuse per-
spiration, says the Hartford Times.
As formerly woven, wooden fabrics
were Objectionable to many, because
they iritated the skin and caused dis
comfort by preventing the proper es-
cape of its exudations. Moreover,
they were as a rule so heavy as TO be
intolerable for summer wear. These
Objectionable features have now been
removed, and to make wooden CLOTH
ing truly sanitary and suitable for all
seasons the usual process of weaving
woolen fabrics has been materially
modified by adopting a method which
produces much less closely woven
texture than the ordinary flannel.
The feeling is instructive, too, that
wooden clothing is "hot" in warm
weather; that if we wear wool in win
ter to keep us warm we must wear
something different in the summer to
keep us cool, or be inconsistent in
theory and practice. But this is a
mistake.
II is obvious to all how a noncon-
ductor of heat-a wooden garment, for
instance-prevents the escape of the
heat of the body to a colder atmos-
phere, or the ingress of heat to the
body from warmer atmosphere; a
familiar illustration of which is found
in the practice of wrapping ourselves
wrapping ice in a blanket to keep it
cold-to keep the heat in in one case,
and not in the other. 1t may not be so
easy to understand why we should
clothe a warm body in a blanket to
cool it off or to keep it cool when the
temperature of the surrounding air
is in or near equilibrium with it,
The explanation lies in the nature
and condition of the body, the wooden
fabrics twofold property of noncon-
ductability to heat and permeability to
moisture at the fabrics outer surface.
This evaporation d-sperses the heat,
thus lowering the temperature. This
is the reason the soldier keeps his
woolen covered canteen wet in hot
weather. A wet woolen garment dis
poses of the surplus heat and leaves
the body cool.
