Habits"
MY dear Irene: A baby. as young as
two weeks begins to form habits II
anything in the baby's life is repeated
several times in the same way. it be-
comes a habit. This is why we are told
The Washington herald., 1916-04-21

to be like clockworlS' with baby. There
should be certain hours for feeding the
baby, the same time each day for the
bath, definite time for recreation out
Of doors, and II these become habit,
they tend toward the proper growth and
development of the child.
The habit they called self entertain
ment' appealed to me. They told us a
small baby could learn to amuse HIM
self and that 1t is not necessary to have
him constantly in the arms, since 1t
only tires the mother and produces a
tired, irritable child have made 1t
az habit not to let anything, no matter
what. interfere with my days daily
routine.
Pacihcrs a Nuisance.
What I have Just told you would
come under the head of good habits.
But. Oh! Just think OF all the bad
habits a child may learn, and then think
II is not his fault but his mothers. All
the bad habits are acquired easily but
are really difficult to break.
THE first one we talked about was
thumb. sucking and the use of the pa
ciher. To break this habit, the baby's
hands can be fastened down or better
still he can wear a glove or mitten.
The paciher the baby can never get with
out the mothers aid. What do you think
OF druggists who keep and advise pacI-
fiers for babies? The doctor says the
thumb sucking or paclfier habit may
cause thick, bsggy lips, a forward pro-
lection of the front teeth because the
bones are so soft. a deformed lower
jaw for the same reason. and that even
adenOids may thus be produced.
"a habit that comes later and may
spoil a child forever is the habit OF al
lowing him to choose his food. He soon
becomes 'fussy' as to what he will eat
and what he will no. eat, and is not a
joy to anyone. am so glad now that
as a child l was told to eat what was
put before me or go without. AS re-
suit l eat everything and enjoy It too.
