WHAT EVERY MOTHER WANTS TO
KNOW ABOUT HER BABY
By ANNA STEEsE RICHARDSON
Chairman of the Better Babies Bureau Wo

These articles are based on aues-
tons asked by mothers who have
turned to the woman's Home Com
panion for assistance in the difficult
and delicate task Of rearing their
babies. Each question presented and
but by many mothers. They represent
the general questions and problems of
the average mother. Mrs. Richard

IL must wean my four months
old baby. What sort of bottle is best >
The perfectly round or cylindrical
bottle is best It comes in two styles,
with a neck an large as the bottle, re-
! quiring very large nipple, and a
small tapering neck which will &C
commodate q smaller nipple. The
latter is more comfortable for the
baby to nurse. Never br'- a bottle
with corners" in which particles Of
stale milk can settle, and never use
an old medicine bottle for the same
reason. The bottle with measure
ments, by ounces blown into the glass,
is best These hold up to s ounces.
2.-How many bottles should 1 buy?
AS many as the baby has feelings
in "a hours, and one or two extra in
case of breakage. At months, the
baby is fed every three hours, start
Ing with a. m. and ending at or
10 Z. Therefore six bottles or more
will be needed You should also have
wire rack for holding the bottles.
This is economy as it saves breakage.
There should be absorbent cotton or
sterile cottonwood for stoppering the
bottles.
3.-What are the best nipples?
Plain dark rubber, without glass
tubes. Bacteria lodge in glass tubes.
They rank among baby killers. AS the
/ :.e of the hole is important, some
lphysicians recommend buying nipples |
without holes, and piercing them with
hot needles. The hole should be just |
9arge enough to permit the milk to |
&lrop or drip through when the bottle |
is inverted. 1t must not flow. If the |
hole is too small the baby is exhaust

Topeka MAIL CARRIERS
Make A fine YEARLY RECORD

The Topeka postoffice has squad
of letter carriers to be proud of. There
are Al Of them and they do the work
with more ability and with greater
success than any other group of car
riers in the United States.
The Al men have to distribute mail
to people in all parts Of the city. In
winter and summer, six days of the
week except holidays, the mail carriers
deliver the mail twice a day. Some
sections Of the city. Most Of them are
in the residence section.
The duties Of the carrier are nu-
merous. Every morning at the post
office he has to distribute the mail
from the sacks into the right part of
his mail pouch. He has to know near
ly every person along his route to
avoid making mistakes about ad-
dresses. He carried a heavy weight on
his back for hours. He has to climb
high terraces and steps and to place
the mail in the proper boxes. The car
and other similar duties fall to his lot.
Topeka should be proud of the mail
men. Few are the mistakes made and
the carriers are as q body. hard work.
ing. Industrious men.
Twice q year, the carriers are sub
ject to inspection by men in the Of
flee. The report made out by the in
spectOr shows the time consumed by
the carrier, number of residences
which mail was delivered to and other
information. Every piece of mail de-
livered the day of the inspection is
recorded. In the report it shows the
weight in pounds collected by the car
rier. These inspections tend to make
the carrier more careful in his work
and teaches him necessary steps that
can be saved in the rounds.
Every few months each carrier is
given an examination by the authori-
ties and are asked questions touching
upon their work. These examinations
are useful to the letter carrier and 1t
may be said to their credit the mail
men usually answer all of the ques-
tions promptly and correctly.
Another examination given to the
mail men often is the handling of
mail in the Office. The carrier is
timed on the minutes it takes to place
the mail in the proper places. The
total number of errors in the handling
of the mail are reported. The car

THERE WAS A REASON
Tho Boy Couldn't Get Saucepan on
His Head.

Passengers on a local train bound for
Topeka were astonished recently when
youngster wearing a granite sauce
pan instead OF a hat boarded the car.
As he trudged down the platform, all
the people in the car craned their necks
from the windows. AS he entered the
car all the youngsters crowded curl
ously In the aisle.
Doubtless the boy blushed confusedly
Nobody Knew. His cheeks were
eclipsed. Suddenly a woman rushed
down the platform. She jumped on
the car. and grasped the boy by the
hand. She noted the surprised glances
Of the amused passengers. and made a
brief speech from her position by the
water cooler.
Il expect you think my little boy
looks crazy" she admitted, while the
kiddies in the car giggled. He isn't
wearing the pan for hat. He stuck
his head in it in fun. We can't get it
out. And I'm taking him to a Topeka
doctor to have it filed off"
She took the boy on her lap, cuddled
the saucepan against her shoulder, and
the train steamed on to Topeka.

riers in Topeka have become adept at
handling their mail and do the work
swiftly and without errors.
Beside the fOrty-seven regular car
rfers there are five substitutes. They
are expected to report for duty every

the regular men. They serve when

ENGlAND'S WAR SONG.

The route 10 Tipperary il devoid of
any strategical importance but il is
playing no mean part in upholding
what military experts term the morale
of the British troops.
The Germans thunder Die Wacht
am Rhein." the French chant the Mar
seillaise," impressive and sonorous,
and the Belgians fight gallantly with
their beautiful "Brabanconne" on their
lips But the British sing no national
air; they go gaily into battle shouting
an inconsequent music hall ditty that
has nothing whatever i'm it about death
or glory. Here is the chorus of the
song:
It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's long way To go;
It's a long way to Tipperary,
To the sweetest girl know!
Goodby Piccadilly,
Farewell, Leicester square,
It's a long way to Tipperary,
But my hearts right there!"
The author of this lyric is Jack
Judge. a music hall artist, and there is
probably no man in the world more
surprised than he-unless il is his
publisher, Bert Feldman-at the pop
ularity it has so suddenly achieved.
The Briton sings it when reveille
sounds: he has familiarized his French
comrades with lie chemin "A Teepe-
raire"; and ne sings it when he takes
his position i'm the teeth of a raking
shell fire. But why he chooses this
particular air nobody knows.
It's a good song of its kinda good
tune" Feldman says. quite
simple, and it doesn't require much
breath TO sing IT, for there are no par
ticularly high or low notes in IL. But
there are other songs with all these
qualities; the fact is, we can never
say with any certainty whether n song
will catch on or not.
