1. 1t is adapted to the needs of
the child in composition and amount.
2. 1t is provided at the proper

3. 1t is more easily digested by
the baby.
A. 1t does not sour.

6. 1t strengthens the baby against

If mothers realized how much
greater is the chance for life of the
naturally fed child, they would make
greater effort to nourish their chill
dren. There are few mothers who
cannot with consistent effort nurse
their babies. The mother must have
abundant and wholesome food, plen-
ty of liquids in the diet, plenty of
rest, exercise and fresh air. Regu-
lar nursing stimulates the flow of
milk.

NO FEAR OF WILD ANIMALS

During all the years you have
spent in the Rocky Mountains you
have never carried a revolver or a
gun. Wasn't your life often in dam
ger?" asked James B. Morrow, of
that well-known author and natural
list, the hermit of Longs Peak, Colo
RADIO, Enos A. Mills.
Possibly; I don't know" Mr.. Mills
answered. animals are harmless if
one let's them alone. 1t is not so,
however, with men. Animals mind
their own business. In that particular
they again are unlike men. Automo-
biles are more Of menace to a pc
destrian from the mountains, like my
self, than are grizzly bears, bobcats
or lions.
"No one has need to fear wild ami
mails; they have better manners and
morals than have human beings. They
will not fight unless they are attacked
or their rights are grossly violated.
With them it is safety first all the
time.
animals have too much sense to
tax themselves poor in getting ready
for war. They are wiser than the
whole of Europe. Nor are they nat
urally blood-minded enough to go ia
war, to burn or blow up the dens Of
their enemies and to butcher or starve
thousands of mothers and their
young"
