 After the baby Is finally weaned from the breast, at about one year of age, he too often seems to have a set back. His development does not pro- gress as satisfactorily as during the first year. and the regular gain in weight does not proceed as before.
 The trouble usually lies in the babys failure properly to digest the new foods given to him at this period In addition to foods suitable for the period between nine and twelve months, after he is year old he may have a small saucer of well-cooked, strained cereal twice a day, and will require about one quart of milk during A hours.
 At fifteen months he may have a little rare beef, or well-cooked chicken or mutton. Meat for a baby should be boiled, roasted or broiled. never fried, and should be given to the baby scraped or finely minced.
 The following are sample meals for a day for healthy child from eighteen months to two years old: {An ounce is two tablespoonfuls)
 a. m.-Milk. s to 10 ounces; piece Of zwiebach, toast or dried bread.

When cold the fat is removed in a solid piece. leaving a clear liquid or jelly. Heat 8 small portion when 1t is time to feed the baby. Keep the jelly GOV cred and on ice.
 Meat.-One tablespoonful. Take meat, round or sirloin steak, scraped with silver spoon. When you have the desired amount, shape into a pat and broil on hot, dry spider. When done, add a little salt

 It Is important. also, to know what not to feed the baby. It is great temptation to please the baby by giv- ing him tastes" of various kinds of foods, especially when he is fretful. But this will almost surely result in his harm Never give him candy. cakes, doughnuts, pastry, fresh bread. grid dle cakes, sirup or molasses, pork or tough meat of any kind, bananas, over ripe fruits, pickles, tea, coffee, soda water or beer, nor the meats, vege- tables and other things appearing on the family table.
