"Ah! Isn't she a %picture?" is heard
once in perhaps a very long while, and
Immediately every within hearing
covertly or frankly turns to look at
what promises to be a pleasant vision.
And these pictures" have not been
any too plentiful recently, particular
ly In the not long gone period of tube
skirts. But fashion now holds out the
pretty promise that 1t is the thing to
be picturesquely dressed, and the wo-
man, who nearest to looking like
a canvas belle that's lost her frame
will elicit the biggest buzz of admira-
ton.
This gown is picturesque In the ex-
IRENE, being a combination of wonder
full old lace and hemstitched taffeta.
The underskirt is Of accordion plated
pink chiffon. The bodice is decollete
and sleeveless. The sleeveless bodice
Is very becoming to a young girl.

enough milk to feed the baby exclu-
sively al the breast; 1t Is then neces-
sary to give one or more bottle feed
ings a day In addition. Later articles
will give directions for this kind of
feeding as we'll as for weaving and ar
tihcial feeding.
The nursing mother should have
plenty Of simple, nutritious food. She
should eat what she likes, provided
her food causes her no indigestion, for
If the mother Is well the baby will
usually be well. But If the mother has
or has a coated tongue these symptoms
show that she is not properly digesting
her food, and she should try to find
out what is causing the trouble. Fat,
greasy and fried foods, such as dough
nuts, pancakes, fried potatoes, baked
beans, pies, heavy buildings and dump
lings and insuficiently cooked cereals,
are among the foods that may cause
Indigestion. Fresh, well cooked vege-
tables, good soups, bread and butter,
milk, eggs. meat, fish, poultry and
fruits should form the principal part
Of the diet Of a nursing mother. She
should take plenty of time to eat her
meals and should chew her food well.
All good food is milk making food. 1t
is better to do without tea and coffee,
unless the mother has always been ac-
customed to their use. If SO she should
cut down the amount to one cup of
each drink per day. Cocoa may be
used In moderation, but milk, both
sweet and buttermilk, and plenty of
cold, pure water are the best drinks
for the nursing mother.
The nursing mother should have
plenty Of sleep at night and should
learn to relax and rest whenever the
baby nurses. AS far as possible she
should be relieved Of the heaviest part
OF the household work.
The nursing mother should not suf
fer from constipation, Ripe, raw fruits
and stewed rhubarb and prunes are
laxative, as are also well cooked oat
meal and other cereals.
The breast and nipples should be
washed with warm water and good
CASTLE soap every night, rinsing and
drying them carefully. After each
nursing wash the nipples and dry
them. This will keep them from get
ting sore. A few weeks before the
baby Is born the nipples should bt
washed in this way every night and
covered with ~vaseline. An old soft bill
Of muslin or linen may be pinned In
side the nightgown yer the breast t.
protect It.

Care Of
the Baby In
Summer
Breast Feeding.


TPrenared by the cnildren's bureau, Unit
ed States department of labor.l
The summer months are critical mes
for the baby, for on account of the
heat he is more easily upset. The
mother in the country needs especially
to use every means in her power to
keep the baby well during this trying
time, as 1t is often very difficult for
her to get the advice of a physician.
There are few women who cannot
nurse their babies If they are properly
taken care of before the baby is born
and at the time of birth. Most moth
ers improve in health while nursing
the baby If they are well fed and do
not have to work too hard, and then
the mother knows that then she is CIV
ing her baby pure milk, fresh milk,
milk of the same temperature from
start to finish of the feeding and, most
important, a milk made especially for
and especially adapted to the need OF
that particular baby.
Put the baby to the breast six hours
| after he Is born if the mother Is sufi-
| GENTLY rested by that time and let her
nurse him every six hours until the
true milk "comes'-usually on the third
day. Thereafter nurse the baby every
three hours by the clock and no of
tener.
If a breast fed baby gets summer
diarrhea 1t is generally because he has
been overfed, and people are beginning
to find out that babies thrive better ii
they are fed only once in three or four
hours so that the stomach may have 4
chance to rest between meals. Be
tween feelings give the baby a little.
water to drink, having first boiled and
cooled it. At four months the night
feeding should be omitted, and at six
months the mother should begin to
lengthen the time of feeding a quarter
of an hour each week until the baby Is
fed only once in four hours, with no
night feeding. On the three hour plan
the baby may be nursed at 6 and 8
q. M, at j noon and at 3, 6 and 8
p. M, with one feeding during the
night. On the four hour plan the nurs-
ing will come at 6 and 10 a. M. and
2, G and 10 p. m. The baby needs no
other food then breast milk and wa

GOSSIP AND ADVICE.
Scrap Books Excellent Way of Con
serving Much Valuable Information.

Scrap Books Excellent Way of Con-
serving Much Valuable Information.
Many times you have seen in a
magazine or newspaper an article or
suggestion that you determined to save
and then either lost the magazine or
clipping or threw it away during some
cleaning up period. Why not reform?
One woman of methodical habits
keeps q series of scrap books for just
such articles and finds this a very
neat and effective way Of preserving
ideas for future use.
One book Is marked Garden" In
this book she has pasted every Illus
tration or item of information on the
subject that has interested her. There
are pictures of trellises, arbors, per-
golas, water gardens, benches or bor-
dered paths, which she hopes to be
able some time to add to her
garden; suggestions about flower or
vegetable culture; advertisements she
wishes to keep for reference; garden
plans from various garden magazines,
etc.
The other half of this book Is devoted
to notes ON her own garden-dates on
which she has planted, her success
with various plants and seeds, the
garden expense account, and any point
that she may wish to recall at any
time.
Another book is marked "House."
In this she keeps articles and sug-
gestions on household decoration.
Samples of chintzes, denims and up
holstery materials; illustrations of fire
places, window seats, c~upboards, stair
ratings, etc., that have appealed to
her. Here, too, are written down the
dimensions Of each room, the number
of windows and amount of material
needed for curtains, the dates on which
the last papers, rugs and curtains were
bought, and the price of these. This
system saves much time and trouble
when a room is to be ~redecorated, for
all the necessary information is at
hand.
A large part of the book is devoted
to the kitchen. In these pages are
Ill tue ouBSCoCiOno that nave lAICA-
ested her. There is a list of various
|. brands of timed goods, cereals and
other foodstuffs. This Is labeled "Pure
Food Products" and only tested and
approved brands are listed.
In the kitchen pages also are pasted
notes on or advertisements of improved
utensils and labor saving devices
washing machines, mayonnaise mixers,
butter churns, silver cleaning pans, in
fact, any approved labor saving device
that she may wish to purchase
In this way every item Of household
information that has interested her Is
preserved in accessible form with very
little trouble. Recipes are not put In
the scrap book, as they occupy little
space and are more conveniently kept
Ia a card index box on q shelf.

Nature Gift
BY LILLIAN RUSSELL.

Every hamlet and city should have
in its midst two monuments. one bear
ing the inscription "air" and the other
water Each of these monuments
should he characteristic in design and
depict the wonderfully beneficial quail
ties of air and water 10 impress those
who look upon them with the remark
able curative and preventive powers of
the two most bountifully supplied gifts
of nature.
Masters of the chisel and brush have
pictured their conceptions of air and
water, but they have invariably neg
lected to develop the thought of the
effect of both upon the human body
Many n painter has pictured the ban
quet hall and the results of the indul-
gence in wine. but how many have
depicted the strength and vigor &C
quired by drinking plenty of water
Artists have frequently left upon
canvas their conceptions of air, but how
few have attempted to cmpha size tho
benefits derived through feeding the
lungs and body with ozone that is void
OF impurities?
believe that the people who ma e
full use of pure air and water seldom.
If ever, have occasion to call upon n
physician. They gather strength every
second and ward off disease and sick
ness. This fact ought to be strongly
impressed upon old and young. They
should be continually reminded Of the
benefits TO be derived through filling
the lungs with air and the liberal eX-
ternal use of water.
Remember: Air and water are so
plentiful that We may easily lose sight
of their values.
