Naturally babies fed in this way are
seldom prize winners. In studying
the score cards of prize winners in a
dozen states, l find that ninety per
cent. are fed at regular intervals, &C.
cording to their age.
Babies are born hungry. For many
: weeks they have nothing to do, but eat
and sleep. A well known writer on
babies says that eating is the only
form of recreation babies have. Adult
intelligence must decide how often
this habit of hunger should be salts
fed, bearing in mind that baby will
cry just as hard on an overloaded
stomach as on an empty one.
The time to start baby In regular
habits of feeding Is the day of its
birth. The newborn baby should be
nursed every two hours from 6 a. m.
to 10 p. M, and once during the night
at a. m. Within a week If the baby
is normal the mother should begin
nursing 1t only once in three hours
between a. m. and 9 p. m. with the
extra nursing at a. m This means
seven feelings In twenty-four hours.
At four months If the baby shows a

between 0 p. m. and G a. M, but should

ngs and this schedule should be main.
aimed until he is year old.
Many mothers ask contest physi.
lans whether the baby should be
to be fed. Physicians seem
agree that baby should never be
at night to nurse, and that
e healthy baby will wake OF it's own I
cord to be fed once In three hours 8

amounts OF each, according to nutri-
tive value and cheapness wheat
oats, corn, barley, rye, millet-seed,

these are combined grit, shells and
charcoal. These foods produce good
results, mainly because OF the va.

the ice has been broken now, and the
advocates of national highways con-

have taken new courage. The bill pro-
vides for every dollar expended In any
community by the federal government

SO, while the actual appropriation is
only Ave hundred thousand, the bill
will cause to be expended on the
roads OF the country million and a
half: II is further stipulated that every
cent of the money shall be spent un-
der the direction OF engineers from

Of local graft. The information that
the national government has at last
made direct appropriation for road
