can digest one and one-half ounces
of sugar in his total daily quantity Of
food.
To Illustrate: A child three months
of age who weighs ~ pounds, should
receive and digest "a ounces of cows
milk in "a hours. To this must be add
ed the proper amount of water to
make up the bulk and 1 1-2 ounces of
sugar. In "a hours, he would receive
81 IL ounces of food. OF this "a
ounces would be cows milk, IL ounces
water and IL ounces sugar. The
water should be boiled. When cool

or granulated sugar make on ounce,

A table of modifying milk for chill
dren of various ages will be furnished
upon receipt OF a stamped and ad-
dressed envelope sent to me at this
office. The proportions given above
are for healthy child of three months.
The new born baby, and the delicate
baby require special proportions of
milk, water and sugar. A baby less
than week old, for example, is given
3 or ounces of milk with IL ounces
of water and no sugar. No mother OF
a delicate child, or child whose di
gestion Is weak should decide on the
proper modification of milk withou

notable example of it's use is found
in the new federal building at Denver
While the marble quarries are in
the midst of the national forest, they
are on private land secured under the
laws by which areas bearing deposits
of building stone are disposed of by
the government. Under the law pros
pectors can locate and secure title to
mineral deposits on the national for
ests just as. they can on the open
public domain. The marble company
which owns the quarries is a large
user of national forest timber in the
working OF its IEol critics, situated
near Marble, Colo.
The history of the company Is said
to be of considerable interest, as rep
resenting indomitable enterprise
against difficulties. The country in
which the marble deposits occur is ex-
tremely rough and precipitous, and for
a long time was inaccessible because
of lack of transportation facilities
Large sums had to be expended before
the stone could be got out and brought
to market. Up to 1907, when the prod
uct first began to attract attention, i
is said that $1,2OO,O00 had been ex
pending in developing the property.

be furnished you, then it is high time
that you started campaign for dairy
inspection in your town.
If you cannot buy certified milk,
then look up personally dairyman or
neighbor whose cows will stand the
test and whose stables are clean. Do
not buy baby's milk at a grocery store
Or dairy whose source of supply you
cannot trace.
AS soon as the milk is delivered, set
it in cool, clean place, preferably on
ice. Either keep 1t in separate COM
partment of your refrigerator or make
a small individual refrigerator for it,
using a double pail with ice and saw
dust packed round the inner pail, and
have the milk tightly corked in bot
ties. One mother who told me about
having made such a little refrigerator
which she keeps in the cellar, learned
to do this from sad experience. With
her first baby, she kept the milk in a
tin pail, hung in the cool water of an
old we'll. The well absorbed germs
and the doctor traced baby's death

Scald the vessel or bottles in which
the supply of milk Is to be stored, and
allow them to cool before you pour the
milk into them. Never use the utensil
in which you prepare baby's food for
any other purpose. Directly the milk
Is delivered, prepare the supply of food
for the ensuing twenty-four hours. Do
not allow the milk to stand round alb
sorbing germs until you find time
to prepare 1t.

may be used instead of water.
The water is added so that the food
will not be too heavy or concentrated
for the baby to digest, There is al
ways a quantity of water in breast

The sugar Is added not to give the
feeding a pleasant flavor, but because
sugar has nutritive quality and acts
as a laxative on the bowels. One
ounce of sugar supplies as much nour

must be used with discretion. Toe
