Care Of
the Baby In
Summer
Artificial FEEDING.

Artificial Feeding.
Prepared by the children's bureau, Unit
ed States department OF labor.l
When a baby is deprived Of breast
milk altogether and fed entirely from
q bottle this method Is called artificial
feeding.
II he is partly nursed and partly fed
from the bottle this method Is known
as mixed feeding. In both OF these
methods the preparation OF the bottles
and the amount and kind Of food to
use are questions Of vast Importance
to the baby. Many thousands OF bot
tie fed babies die every year because
they do not have breast milk or be-
cause OF some mistake in feeding or
because they cannot adapt themselves
to a strange food
Artificial feeding Is not only hard on
the baby, but imposes no slight task
upon the mother. To bring up a baby
on the bottle without mishap requires
unremitting daily attention to a multi
tude Of petty details which can only

The milk must have special care
from the moment 1t is delivered at the
house until it is fed to the baby.
The utensils used in the preparation
OF the feelings and the bottles and
nipples must be kept scrupulously
clean The strength and quantity Of
the food must be increased or decreas-
ed in accordance with the baby's vary
ing needs as indicated by his age, his
weight, the condition OF his bowels
and other things. All this necessarily
makes such demands on the time and
strength OF a mother that she viii not
undertake this burden II breast milk

The first words Helene Berg said
when she was asked about the reasons
for her coming to this country were:
u am really here on account of the
war, and l hope America will not get
into it too. 1t will only make II hand
er for all the other neutral nations II
she does You cannot help those who
are already dead. You would only add
your dead to ours in Europe. We lit
tie peoples turn our eyes over here TO
this big country and are glad that one
nation is at peace. No one here knows
what war is. Europe is a madhouse.
There viii be an untold value in hav-
ing one nation out of war when peace
is declared"
Helene Berg is an academician, a
graduate of the University Of Copen-
hagen, social worker, lecturer and
leader in the effort to better the con-
ditiOn Of the abnormal child. For many
years she has been eager to see what
America is doing for its children-its
detectives, delinquents, Nightmares,
40 ACAP4Coo anu Us uouOlCdpDGu-dnu
now that there Is a Iull In what she
can achieve In her own land because
Of the war she has chosen this time to
come here.
Also in another sense she has reach
ed a stopping place in her life work
since the long fight of women for the
ballot has been successfully terminal
ed in Denmark. In May the Danish
diet passed a resolution comforting full
suffrage upon women There remained
only final ratification of the act, but
this was felt to be mere formality.
Helene Berg was also leader In the
EOman's congress which undertook to
remedy the position Of the unmarried
mothers Of Denmark The Danish
law, when it is finally passed, Will
give the ilegitimate child the right OF
Inheritance from its father and the use
Of his name.

INDEPENDENCE DAY HINT.

The Housewife by Careful Planning
May Find Her Day Free From Care.
1t is often true that holidays for the
family in general are not at all holi-
days for the hOusekeeper much
food to cook, so many dishes to wash,
extra work at all times. But every
housekeeper can make the glorious
Fourth a true Independence day, free
from work and worry, even II she has
number Of guests.
Make the cleaning as easy as posi-
bic and do it several days in advance,
so that the rooms need only the very
slightest brushup the day before the
holiday. Plan your menu for the six
or more meals OF the week end and
market for them in the middle OF the
week before the stores are crowded,
when you will get better service and
materials. As it is likely to be typ
ical scorchlng' weather, your menu
might be almost cold
A meat loaf, a fresh ham, a veal OF
chicken aspic can be made two days
in advance and should serve two meals
or more. A quart Of boiled mayor
naise and cake made either in a loaf
or in small shapes will also serve for
double meals, different vegetables be-
ing used on different days and the
same cake being iced differently. All
Of the desserts Of the Bavarian cream
type can be made in advance and left
on ice until needed. A quantity Of
lemonade strip and cocoa strip can be
prepared so that an instant beverage
win be at hand
A dozen hard boiled eggs can be used
cold with potato salad or in delicious
supper dishes In combination with
cheese and toast II there are many
guests 1t is really only fair to have
each make his own bed and leave his
bedroom In order, and II they are In
formal guests none OF them should
mind giving helping hand"
Elaborate service Is not necessary,
and the simpler the table the more at
tractive 1t may be made. Perhaps
many meals can be eaten outdoors In
true picnic" fashion. II almost all the
cooking Is done beforehand, as suggest
ed, and paper plates and dishes used
for at least some meals the dishwash-
ing problem should hold no terrors-
1t Is much better to really enter into
the spirit OF a holiday than It Is to
have everything In the house so I'm
maculately clean that much Of your
time Is taken away from your guests
on the day itself. Mothers too seldom
enter into the fun Of things, they are
30 often wondering whether this or
that Is right" But a holiday Is Just
the time to develop "chumship" with
sons who are perhaps beginning to
feel that mother doesn't know any
thing except housekeeping or with 9th
er young people to whom you may
serve as a stimulus II you only stop
thinking Of homework and such things
long enough TO enter into their play

Kick and Run.

This Is boy scout game and Is play
I'd In a clearing or open field with
regular association football or basket
ball. One scout takes his position In
the clearing. and the rest seek cover
as near as possible. With a scoutmas-
ter acting as umpire, the ball Is rolled
into the open space and the scout IN
side Immediately kicks IT out and rush.
Is out to tag any other scout he can
ind and catch, but directly the bah IS
kicked back into the clearing he must
return and kick it out The umpire
watches the ball and as soon as it
comes to a standstill inside the clear
ing blows his whistle to indicate the
fact. While the one scout Is returning
to kick it out the others may change
their positions or seek fresh hiding
places.
The scouts who are caught remove
their scarves or wind a white hand
kerchief around one arm and then help
their captOr to catch other scouts.
They must not kick the ball, but must
return to the clearing each time the
whistle is blown. The winner Is the
scout who Is caught last In an open
field the clearing Is indicated by a
white mark on the grass or by corner
posts and scouts have to elude cap
ture more by lodging than by seeking
cover
As a variation successive patrols
may "hold" the clearing and endeavor
TO capture the rest Of the troop in the
shortest possible time. The patrol
leader only is allowed to kick the ball
out Of the clearing. The winning pa
troll Is that which takes the shortest
time. In this variation the scouts who
are caught do not take any further
part IN the game.-Scouting
