Even after we get through this investi.
CATION we shall not know the answer
to that question, but we will come
pretty near knowing which of these
proprietary diets are fit to be put into
infants stomachs and which of them
should be avoided.
E'The mere fact that baby food
is wholesome and contains no poison
Gus or deleterious substances would not
put it in the safe class. It might
agree perfectly With an adult, but at
the same time it would not be fit for
infant consumption. The prepared food
that approaches most nearly to the
natural milk is, of course, the best
Nature S baby food contains only three
substances-milk sugar, milk fat and
milk proteid. 1t is therefore entirely
safe to say that any proprietary food
which contains starch. cottonseed oil
lard or other animal fat, or any other
substance outside of the three named
above. is not a proper infant diet and
should not be fed as such.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 30.-Are GER
tain "'baby foods on the market fit
for babies to eat, or are they infant
destroyers9 Are certain .'invalid
foods calculated to bring back health
and strength to those who have lost
them, or are they more likely to hurry
the unfortunates to their graves2
These are the two great questions
that the United States Department of
Agriculture has set out to answer, and
acting through its chief chemist, DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, the work of investi,
cation is already well under way. Hun.
dreds of samples of prepared q foods =
and "diets' have already been collect
ed, and the scientists of the bureau
of chemistry are busily engaged in
finding out just what they contain. If
they are found to be composed of sub
stances unfit for infants and invalids ,
stomachs, all the power of the depart
ment will be directed to prevent theis
future sale.
The work of investigating "baby
foods, - which DR.. Wiley regards as the
more important of the two classes. was
begun some time ago, ewhen the follow
ing letter was sent to about two hum
dred of the leading pediatrists, or chill
dren's doctors, throughout the country:
Dear Doctors: In the near future we
shall probably take up the considera.
tion of imported infant foods, and per-
haps, also, in connection Herewith,
those of American origin entering in
terstate commerce. | am especially
anxious to get the opinion of the pro-
fession upon the following points:
"What should be the constituents of
infant food; that is, for an infant less
than one year old9 Particularly, should
it contain starch as such, or as modi-
fed by malt or other inverting agent,
and if SO, to what extent ~
"What limit of bacterial content
should be set for prepared infant foods,
and what kinds of bacteria should be
rigidly excluded 49, e~s
I should be very greatly pleased to
have your opinion on this subject in
the inclosed addressed envelope.
| beg that you not only answer the
questions I have propounded, but also
give your views on the character OF
infant foods in general, especially fol
infants under one year of age.
Respectfully,

How to Make a Circular Skirt Hang
Well.

How to Make a Circular Skirt Hang
Well.
If you make your own clothes, don't
you have trouble in getting circular
skirts to hang well? Most people do.
and the secret of a well hung skirt is
something the professional dressmaker
does not often see fit to impart to the
novice in the art. But here it is never
theless:
If you will always remember to sag
or have sagged your circular skirts
before the lower edge is finished, your
troubles will be over, and the skirt
will be an even length all round. To
do this work of sagging, first finish
your skirt and sew it on to the belt.

bottom. Now put 1t owe a skirt hang

way. Now you must weigh both sides
of the skirt, or, in other words, you
want to stretch the fullness out of the
circular part. Let these weights stay
fastened to the skirt for twenty-four
hours or longer If you have the time

Small iron rods are the best things to

also produces the result wanted. So
use what is nearest your hand. but be

TURKEYS NEW NJ
Co~nstantinople May Before Long Hold
Woman's Rights Congress.

In the coming of the new era for
Turkey the Turkish women have play
ed an important part. They have torn
the streets of Constantinople, shouting
the cry of the revolutionists and bear
ing aloft banners inscribed Liberty,
Equality and Fraternity"
When this sight first presented itself
to the public the sensation was ire
mendous, and it is said that the sultan
and his advisers IN seeing it under
stood that the world had moved en-
for Turkey and that the only act pos
sible was to concede a constitution and
get In touch with the new conditions.
Nor did the demonstration started
stop at the mere abandoning of wells,
the waving of banners and shouting In
the streets. The new woman of Tur-
key has presented to her brother this
proposition-that since she has been
his companion in the revolt and has
borne all the perils of assisting in re-
belsAsA- nd-veuld In the event. of fail
ure have been the victim of the sultan
she has a right to share fully in the
fruits of the victory. Therefore she
asks that she be elevated to a plane of
complete equality and be allowed to
take part in politics and have her vote.
The disposition of the Young Tur-
kish party Is to grant this request.
1t understands that the women of
the nation are bound to WELD a power
full influence in the events of the next
few years and hat policy nc less than
justice would dictate giving them a
place of fullest partnership in the great
movement to bring the country into
the fore rank of progress.
In Turkey 1t has always hitherto
been the ease that the woman of the
harem never sees any man saw hus-
band, father and brother. Her liberty
was completely restricted, yet, barring
this fact, the treatment was not I'M
kindly. The day began with a ciga-
rette and coffee; then followed a period
in which the wife waited on her hus-
band. bringing him slippers, pelisse
and chibook. Not by any means was
all of the day passed in singing and
dancing. Always has a fair portion of
the time been devoted to housework
and the care of children. The Turkish
girl comes into wedloek early, and
the youth of the opposite x never
see each other before wedlock. Photo
graphs are exchanged, and professional
matchmakers take care Of the negotia
lions.
The new women of Turkey object to
this programme. They say that the
method of the occident Is better. In
Turkey it has mattered little whether
or not the man was satisfied with the
helpmeet who came to him in this
way. If he did not like her he could
speedily forget her by getting another
wife. But for the woman the mar
rage was absolute. Never dared she
so much as look 1T another man; hence
the argument of the women of the
new ideas that the gentler sex should
be permitted some option in the choice
of a helpmeet.
With this spirit of reform in the air,
with thousands of women united to
fight for the cause, aided by their hus-
bands, 1t is more than a possibility of
the next decade that one of the annual
sessions of the woman's rights con-
gress will ever be held in CONSTANT
nople.
