The Blessed Baby Again.

Several weeks ago young mother
asked you on what she should feed her
seven-months-old baby. Now, 1 have
had some trouble with my dear little
baby. but 1 asked my physician. and
he recommended the following:
six ounces Of new milk, one ounce
of cream, one ounce of limewater, and
two ounces of water which has been
boiled and cooled
l have found this very successful as
the baby grew strong and fat. In case
this loosens the bowels, use just little
less cream. 1 think this mother will
find it very good. OF course, she need
not give the ten ounces at gone feeding.
But these are the proportions as was
given them. and l found by making 1t
up in the morning and heating just
enough for my baby was the best way.

Your kitchen may be a mere cabinet
as to size. Let it be well and fifty ap-
pointed. The spacious kitchens of our
foremothers-who were many of them
English born-were designed as general
sitting rooms for the family. In q ma
jority of-eld New England and Middle
State farmsteads the kitchen was, with
in generation, also the dining room.
Nowadays, in unconscious imitation of
the French--the best cooks in the world
it is place where food is prepared,
and its appointments are adapted strict
ly for that purpose. 1t is virtually

specific kind is done. When the labor

go elsewhere for rest and recreation.
