Board of Health to the Rescue

for the average bottle-fed infant there are a
number of mixtures, the quantity given in a care
fully prepared diet sheet, which can be obtained
by applying to the Board of Health
AS to the milk used in these mixtures it should
be as fresh possible and only that which comes
in bottles should be purchased. To get all the
cream pour off the top of each jug and use as lit
tie of what is left in the jar is convenient Put
this in clean agateware pail or other receptacle
with sugar and barley water, or boiled water
Then put the pail in a bucket containing four or
five inches of water, and allow the water in the
outside vessel to boil ten minutes. Then remove
from the stove, let stand for another ten minutes
and put in a cool place where it will get cold
quickly. This should be enough for a whole days
feeding and should be kept in the ice box so that
it will be sweet Each nursing should be heated
to the proper temperature which is blood heat,
before being fed to an. infant
Next in Importance the food given young,
babies fresh air is of vital Importance On bright,
warm, sunshny days infants should be kept out
of doors all the time. If convenient they should
sleep in the open, if shady spot can be found
And when they in the house all the windows
should be wide open to let in the fresh air.

the Item OF one dress and three blouses to read
one dress alone, though the price includes all four
garments, In this way woman will be able to
get more clothes than she has told the head OF
the house
There is no use going into spasms of indigna-
tloh ana saying that no true woman will deceive
her husband in such way, and that no self
respecting man will be so niggardly with his wife
that sheis forced to such measures. Undoubtedly
these things are true, but there will be decetful
wives and stingy husbands as long as decetful
women and stingy men continue to marry. For
tunately they are in large minority. The point
Is that 1t is the dresmaker who suffers every
time, unless she works for household where the
golden rule of pay cash or go without" obtains
Most women are conscientious about their bills
from the grocer, the ice man and the like, for
any neglect of them would mean a prompt stop.

OF any pretension who cannot show on her books
an unusual and disproportionate amount of mon.
ey owed to her standing from year to wear.

IL mas not been so very long, only six months
that the daughter OF prominent lawyer in town
was married and was furnished with beautiful
and elaborate trousseau. Most of those gowns
have since been worn out, for the young matron
has enjoyed a round of entertainments. The
dressmaker, however is not vet paid. and as she
furnished the material for many of the gowns
she has bills to meet at the stores no nconsider-
able amount, either She will get the money due
her eventually, but she is finding it very hard to
Keep her workroom going in the meantime
Dressmakers usually begin with little or no CAP
ital. They are dependent on the whim of their
clients as 1t seems quite impossible for them to
conduct a wholly cash business. MANY women
are restricted in their allowance, and all bills
must go to their husbands, who pay by check.
Perhaps the wife ordered a more expensive gown
than the husband stipulated. so there is family
quarrel and the dressmaker waits to be paid
Again, some women connive with their dress
makers to cheat their husbands in these matters.

If newborn infant is not properly and regular
ly fed it cannot be well and will not grow to be
healthy child so the feeding is the most i'm
portant part of infants daily life, and mothers
and nurses cannot give too much care to the sub
ject.
One of the first rules to be followed and an
excellent one, is that there should be no more
than nine feedngs in twenty four hours. baby
should be fed every two two and half hours
during the day. But nursing should not last
longer than fifteen minutes This system should
be observed from the birth to the third month.
Then the number OF feelings may be reduced to
eight, or even seven if the child is unusually
strong and the intervals may be heightened to
three hours between meals This to be continued
until the baby is six months old. From the sixth
to the ninth month baby takes larger quantity
of food at feeding and six times in twenty four
hours should be sufficient, with the time between
the feelings about three three and half
hours After the ninth month five meals in
twenty four hours should be plenty for the aver
age infant if given three and half or four hours
apart.

as to the strength and amount of food required,

work When there is only seen small piece
at either end Zig. g. the individual is ner-
vous, sensitive, emotional, changeable in moods,
and easily offended. Artists, writers, emotional
actors are seldom without this characteristic.
A CRUEL TEMPERAMENT
When the line reaches over to the mount of
Mercury and cuts the Marriage line Gig y, it
denotes that the heartless, selfish temperament
of the individual will mar the happiness of the
one he or she marries or is married to. When
there are seen three or more lines Zig, 81 it
denotes vicious nature, a strong leaning towards
unnatural vices
When one deep line is seen, besides many
crossed lines ON fiat mount of Venus Zig 81

The line known the Girdle of Venus when
normal Is found starting between the first and
is often found in the hands of very successful
second fingers and ending between the third
and fourth fingers, running over or Immediately
under the mounts of Saturn and Sun. 1t is
sometimes called the Emotional line" This ap.
peation, to my mind, is more in keeping than
the name "Girdle of Venus" since it is not
found on that mount
In older books on palmistry it is referred to as
a very bad line, in fact, an awful sign to be
met, This in a measure is true, particularly when
found with a high and much grilcd mount of
Venus and an abnormal mount of the Moon,
with hands otherwise either soft or fab.
by. In such a case it is an indisputable sign
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-15

it is fairly sure indication of vicious or las.
civous tendencies.
A star seen on these lines Gig. 10Y is bad
marking; such person should never marry;
the can easily be surmised.
When line is much broken Zig. III it shows
the excess, seen in Zig g, sensuality at its
worst
Since the line speaks of sensitive, restless,
nervous and emotional nature, moreover referring
to the unnatural habits and conditions, it is,
therefore, absolutely essential that the child pos
sessing these lines in any form should have the
most careful guidance and watchful attention
of mind that is pure and free from prudery,
in order to guide it along the path of virtue.

of an extremely vicious nature, ready to go to
almost any excess as regards passions.
When the line is found in hand otherwise
good it certainly is not bad marking for it
people However, on the whole, it denotes a
nervous, hgh-strung temperament, often change
able in moods.
In studying this line the thumb and line of
Head must be taken into consideration. brok-
en- grdle of Venus will not be nearly dan
gerous when the emotions are controlled by a
good thumb and strong line of Head However,
if these are weak, the terrible instinct toward
the extreme of prohigacy will have its sway.

shadow of coming event. A natural clair
voyant.
When the line is short and irregular and per-
haps full of branches Zig. p, it denotes one who
is difficult to suit, love for pickering, trouble
some.
When it forms triangle with the line of Fate

voyant.

Don't give the baby any kind of raw food or
any kind Of fruit
Feed the baby regularly and on time, and not
whenever it cries.
Battle the baby every morning in cool or luke
warm water, and in hot weather two or three
times during the day.
The infant should sleep alone in crib.
The bedding must be kept clean. All coverings
for the child should be of washable material and
kept clean and well aired. Heavy comforters
should not be used.
Don't let the baby sleep in a room near the
kitchen, and put out the fire as soon possible
so the house will not be hot.
Don't have unnecessary clothing in the room
where the baby is kept, soiled pieces of
carpet, and have none but such pieces of furni-
