THE N0NPAREJL MAN
Scientific Baby Culture Discussed by a
Sunday Paper-The Modern Baby
Should Not BE Graded, Nor Trotted
Nor kIssed--Nhy the Baby Should Not
BE Fed Every Twenty Minutes.
An entertaining article in Sunday
paper Of late date dealt with the scientific
ally raised baby. OF course you cannot
cradle-rock the infant any more, neither
can you trot it on your knee nor kiss It.
Especially, is kissing sternly forbidden.
Catnip and paregoric are turned to the
closet wall. The cradle is condemned as
bad for the nerves. It shakes up the in
Ifant and gets 1t into a state Of disquiet.
In the new cult quiet and repose are
urged. The way the modern mama puts
her infant to sleep is "by lifting it in her
arms and by the mere change Of It's posi-
ton causes 1t to fall asleep" Now can
you believe that! We hesitate.
Cold milk is never given to the modern
baby. The experts also advise against
the use Of sterilized or pasteurized milk.
They believe that the milk is best as it
comes from the COW. They advise that in
stead Of using the milk from a single COW
that 1t Is better to mix the milk OF sew
eraI cows.
And now comes the proposition on which
mama usually falls down and falls down
seriously. It is one of the canons Of the
new cult that babies are fed too much
4 The experts say that the common practice
OF every mother Of feeding the baby the
minute 1t cries Is great mistake. They
say that hundreds Of little ones literally
/ founder from overlooking. Much Of the
Ifretfulness and illness and collie Of babies
are due to the widely prevailing error Of
4 over feeding.
4 There is neither reason nor revelation in
4 keeping Tootsie Wootsie so full of baby
1 booze that his little skin is tight. You
4 know what the result would be II q man
4 ate about eight dinners a day, and baby
4 is nothing but a man Of smaller growth.
4 Tootsie Will eat, If the cat-lap is pre-
|sented to him, because it tastes good,
just as the horse will eat about eight
bushels of oats If he can get at them and
end up with several yards Of famboyant

), So If baby eats and hollers and hollers
and eats and hollers again and then eats
and hollers, the chances are that he is
getting too much nutriment and that ii
makes him uncomfortable, just as II
