Older country children used to go
to school about four months in win

they attended school until around II
years old. They acquired an educa-

CIR ARISTOCRACY or WEALYH

We haven't an aristoeracy in these
democratic United states. Not at all
When the founders OF the republic
were busy building the keystone OF
cur glorious country they wrote III
immortal characters that every per-
son is bern equal to any other. AT
that time there was slavery through
out the civilized world. but the dccla-
II ton of indepf ndence said it was
self-evident that all men are created
equal.
1T took four years war TO make
good Oh tho proposiiIon-ani it oc-
cured nearly hundred years after
thu first statement OF Ar erican prln-
ciples was made.
But that is dsgre ssing. The ques-
ton before the house is our well-de-
veloped aristocracy.
1t isn't like in Europe, where the
leople must kowtow and bow and
cringe before the titled gentry.

BOttle-Feeding.

.\ollllIlS is SO important TO the
health of the baby in summer as the
right kind of food. When for any
reason breast milk can not be had {
substitute must be found.
Experience in many thousands oil
cases has shown that cows milk is
the only food that can take the place
OF mothers milk with even a fair
prospect G. having it agree with the
baby. Neither condensed milk MOI
the infant foods sold in the stores
are so good as clean cows milk fol
the baby who can not have breast
milk.
But to have clean milk it is neccs-
sary to have clean COWS, clean barns
clean mixers, clean pals, and clean
handling: Later articles in this ser
les will deal more particularly with
the subject OF milk The country
mother is often able to see the condi-
is produced. City mothers, en- the
other hand, have the protection that
is afforded when the city inspects its
own milk supply.
In some cities it is possible to buy
what is known as "certifed' milk
This costs a little more than ordinary
milk, but its purity is guaranteed by
the authorities. But when certified
milk can not be had, and when it is
impossible for a mother to see for
herself how the milk she uses is
produced, she should heat all the milk
she uses for the baby, in order to
kill the disease germs which it may
be carrying. Among the disease
germs which thrive in milk are those
OF tuberculosis, typhoid fever, diph-
iberia, scarlet FEVER, and diarrhea.
Pasteurizing Milk.
Germs multiply very rapidly i'll milk,
so rapidly, in fact, that even If 1t is
reasonably clean when drawn 1t may
become dangerous food ii left stand
ing in a warm place for some time.
These germs may be killed by heat
ing the milk Boiling it for half an
hour is a safe method, and is some
times advisable in very hot weather ,
but the method of heating the milk
without boiling it called pasteurlza-
ton is usually employed An easy
method of home pasteurizatlon is as
follows:
Put a gallon of water over the IRE
in clean pan or kettle. When the
water is boiling hard take the kettle
from the fire and allow it to stand
on a table for ten minutes uncovered.
rFhen put in the filled and corked
nursing bottles and leave them 1or
half an hour, covering the kettle
meanwhile with a blanket. At the
end OF the half hour remove inc
hotties and cool them as quickly as
nossible to 80 degrees and put them
where they will keep cold until need
ed.
When it is time to feed the Gaoy
take out a bottle and set 1t IN pau
of warm water over the fire to neat.
The mother may test the warmth OF
the milk by sprinkling few drops
On her arm. If it feels just sllshtls
warm it will be right for the Dapy.
After the baby has finished, inc DOL
tle should be emptied, rlnsed' anu
filled with cold water. At some CON
yenient hour in the day the motlel
will wash all the used bottles WIN

Care of the Baby in Summer

kept for that purpose alone.
The nipples should be washed care
fully. A little salt rubbed on the IN

When handling the sterilized nip
pies take hold of them by the lower
rim. Do not touch the part when
| is to go into the baby's mouth. Never
put the nipple into the mouth to teS'
the milk. as the baby might easily be
made sick if the mother happened to
have a cold or throat trouble.
Il will be found convenient to have
enough bottles. nipples and clean bot
lie COZ ks for the entire tWenty-toul
hours, and it Will be a great saving
of time if all the feelings are made
up at once. This will also insure
their being Of uniform quality.

rections for modifying the milk Tor
babies OF different ges. Whenever
POSSIBLE it is best fer q mother to
have the advice Of good physician
in regard to feeding har baby.
Home Made Refrigerator
Whenever possible the baby's bot
ties should be kept on ice. A home
made refrigerator which will keep the
milk sweet for a no IFS is easily and
cheaply made at home. Fer this pur-
pose procure a lard or candy pail. or
galvanized bucket, Or even wood
en- box with cover. In the bottom
place layer OF saWdust an Zen
thick Inside the box or pail place
another smaller receptacle, such as
ten-uuart pail ttin> with cover,
and fill all the space around it with
sawdust. This inner pail holds the
ice ard the milk.
The ice will keep longer if ii is
broken up and inclGsod il sm"l |!
covered pail. Put the little pail IN
the lotion of the refrigerator and
pack the bottles around it, and pHt
the cover on. Then close the outer
cover, which for additional protection
may be lined With newspapers CT with
a .cushion stuffed with hay or straw.
Where ice can not be had, the bot
ties may stand in pail, Under q
stream OF running water.

the same regularity as a nursing ba-
1.-THE BOTTLES may: be given al 9
and,Y a. MI, at Il noon, and at g, q
and 8 b. III, Up to the ace of four
months the baby will need one more
night feeding. After that he should
sleep all night.
Beginning at the fifth month the
time between feelings should be
heightened quarter of an hour each
week until the interval is four hours,
when the baby is six months old.
Give no other food than the bottle
feelings and drinking water in the
first few months of the baby's life.
The baby should nurse slowly. but
ought to finish his feeding in about 20
minutes. If he is inclined to take his
food too greedily, withdraw the nip
pie from his mouth several times
during the feeding and let him rest
a moment
1t is especially important in sum
mer not to Over-feed the baby. 1t is
far better to keep him on rather law
diet than TO bring on an attack OF
diarrhea by giving him TOO much food,
or that which is unsuitable, or by
feeding him at irregular intervals.
