In reciting the authors point OF

production OF photopiays some stress
was laid on the fact that every
thing that was done was done as
the director saw MT to do, It without

director Is frequently. as was
pointed out, the only man who
knows anything about the play that
is being produced, and he frequently
self.
Among the directors Of pictures
probably the most pre-eminent, after
Griffith. is Thomas II. Ince. who
has been referred to several times

Take The Sign OF the Rose as a
fair example OF producing diricui-

George Beban and played by him
with remarkable success on the
vaudeville stage. Beban appears in
the leading role on the fiim which

As was brought out in last week. g
article. the systematic weighing OF
infants at least once a week is
MOST important. and a very useful
indication Of the progress in nutrition
and growth which they are making.
After the nrst year have your baby
weighed at least every other week.
The welfare stations can help you
with this.
Second summer-All babies should
be weaned at the age Of twelve
montns unless for some very particu-
lar reason. During the second year
children are almost invariably badly
fed. Hence the busbear Of the sec
ond summer" This dreaded seconj
summer robs many homes because Of
ignorant or careless parents. The
second summer. managed as It should
be. Is hardly more dangerous than
the third, fourth. or NTH. or any
other summer during the chiids early
life. .. ,-,'' .,,,r -

such as sugar moistenei with tea or

these tastes include the very things
most dangerous to a chiId's diges-
tion. Not only Is unsuitable food
given but its irregularity is appal-

against baby's digestion-piece meal

an all-day sucker after which one
says. Baby isn't doing very we'll; it

Feeding After First Year.
When the baby 10 twelve months old.
every mother should insist upon a
carefully planned diet schedule from the
child's physician, and this schedule
should be looked over from time to
time and added to as the demands OF
the growing child seem to indicate.
Each new article Of food should be
most carefully prepared and given at
nrst In very small quantities. All meals
should be given regularly with abso-
lutely nothing between meals.

habit that should be broken, but 1t
takes patience and time to teach a child
to eat the proper food. Children fed
on milk exclusively after the twelve
months are usually very poorly nourish-
