BY DIR. Margaret Vaupe1 Clark.
What is going to become of this
years crop of babies?
Are we only going TO raise so
per cent of the crop, as we did
last year, or are we going to pay
as much scientific attention to
them as we do to our crop of pigs
or calves?
IL our farmers or stock raisers
should find that half of the pigs
or calves that are born this year
were dying there would be reaBIs
written on the subject and it is
very probable that one of cur
multi-milliOnaires would endOw a
foundation to look into the mat
ter, but no one worries over the
little human life that is being
snuffed out every minute.
Every mother should under
stand that for the next three
months her baby's life is in her
hands. Upon her it depends TO
great extent whether it will be
one of the SO per cent to live or
the so per cent to die.
The most important thing to
consider during the coming sum
mer is the baby's diet. If the
mother is able to nurse her baby
it should have no other food for
the first six months of its life
until after she weans 1t.
You can dry up mothers
milk by putting a baby at the
breast at long intervals perhaps
just morning or night or only at
night. Such habits will ruin the
best wet nurse ever created.
You can check mothers milk
by too constant feeding or by dis
turbing the mothers hours Of
sleep in any way.
You can put baby to the breast
too often. Loading a half empty
stomach with a fresh meal pro-
duces collie and diarrhea more
often than any other cause in a
breast fed baby.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-05-26

You can spoil the best breast
milk in the world by giving the
mother too rich food, alcoholic
tonics and checking the normal
exercise.
A nursing mother should drink
plenty of pure water and there IS
nothing better for nursing
mother than plenty of pure milk
If it agrees with her.
Green vegetables are also good
for the mother in most cases.
A nursing mother should never
take opiates or drugs except un-
der the advice of a physician.
Do not dink strong tea or
coffee.
The breasts should be washed
with pure water after each nurs-
ing.
Don't put baby to breast every
time it cries and do not let 1t
nurse over 20 minutes each time.
If a child cries during the first
few days of its life 1t is perfectly
natural and it is not hungry IL you
have fed it according to rule.
After the third day during the
first month your baby should be
nursed every two hours and
half; from the sixth week to the
third month eight musings two
and one-half hours apart and one
at might. From the third to the
fifth month the baby should be
nursed every three hours during
the day.
You see, nature has provided
regime that will give the mother
plenty of spare time to herself if
she follows it.
Don't trust to s'instinct
and the loving mother
heart" The scientific care
of babies Is no more instinc-
tive with women than any
other business; 1t must be
learned and learned care
fully if we would have better
babies.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF INTEREST TO WOMEN READE
Cynthia Grey's
Answers

Unpleasant circumstances.
Dear Miss Grey: About
one year ago, my husband
met a gentleman at his work,
and as 1 was away at the
time, the man asked him
home to dinner, and he went.
Upon my return he told me
how nice he was treated
and that he would like to ask
them to dinner i'm return.
We invited them, and 1
tried to have everything nice
as German woman could
prepare for the occasion. We
had a chicken dinner. They
had u very nice time rs far
as l could see. They asked
me to come there, but to let
them know, which 1 did by
telling my husband to tell
them.
When 1 went to the house
with a lovely bunch of
flowers no one was home;
but a lady next door told me
where she was; SO 1 just
called at that house and
asked her TO take the flow
ers. Well, she was there to
play cards and / would not
expect her to leave, so l re-
turned home.
Upon meeting her several
times afterwards, she would
not speak or give me a
chance to speak, but tried to
avoid me I'm every way; but
always speaks to my hus-
band.
The other day 1 called on
a sick friend with my hus-
band, and she was there, so
1 did not speak, only to ask
IL L could see the sick friend.
My husband got cross be-
cause did not speak to her
and we had a very unpleas-
ant time on account of IL;
but 1 cannot see how 1 could
be expected to treat her i'm
any other way than cold and
distant. i would like very
much to have you answer as
i may be i'm the wrong since
they are friendly.

Another polite falsehood that
should be denied is that women
are greater gossips than men.
Every woman who has father,
husband, brother or friend who
is a member of a club knows
that it is there more than half
the gossip originates. More than
seven-eighths of the gossip
hear is prefaced "My husband
heard this at the club?"

The Park Public Comfort Stations.

The order Of Secretary Garrison sus-
pending work on the three park public
comfort stations against the proposed 10
cation of which protests have been en-
tered by citizens leads to the hope that
sufficient appropriations may be obtained
from Congress to permit the construction
of these stations underground in accord
with the plans that have been elsewhere
executed. 1t has been estimated that to
construct three underground stations will
cost about $I5.cJ0, much larger sum
than is now at the disposal of the War
Department. 1t is obviously impossible to
meet public requirements as to situation
now within the present limits of cost, and
work has already been done to an extent
to reduce materially the funds available
for construction work on spther sites. In
these circumstances the suspension of the
work pending the securing OF additional
is plainly the wisest course,
provided that there is no long delay. The
stations are needed and must ultimately
be built, somewhere within the three
parks. In matter of this kind every
consideration should be given to the pub
lie preferences. while insuring the great
est degree of usefulness and efficiency in
the installations.
