Feed the Sparrows.

A naturalist announces that those
ender-hearted persons who have
made a custom to supply the wild
birds with food in the winter months
are really killing them with kindness.
Birds supplied with fat from the

through stormy winters without
much food. he says, and often when

English sparrows that would meet

THE FARM AND SMALL TOWN

Looking over the roster of the big
league ball teams you will find name

were boys on the farm or in the village

prisingly few hail from the big cities.
And yet, this is not SO surprising after

the big part that the so-called country

fairs of business and the nation, the
country is the place to lay the founda-

be a better growing medium for bac-
terra than when uncooked. For this
reason long kept cooked meats, un-
less hermetically sealed, should be
avoided. Cooked meats kept in an
ordinary refrigerator in the summer
time for AS hours are dangerous.
/ Vegetable salads having a dressing
containing meat, eggs, milk and other
proteins, unless very acid with vine
gar, are good media for bacteria,
Salads should not be eaten in hot
weather which have been kept for
over twelve hours in an ordinary re-
frigerator. It is undoubtedly true
that very large percentage of intes-
tinal disturbances appearing in the
hot months are due to eating infected
protein in foods. Sometimes fresh,
uninfected proteins may cause mere
or less disturbance in especially
susceptible persons. Persons with
bronchial asthma or eczema or any
skin affection should eat very little
protein during the hot weather and
even persons not thus effected should
be sparing of meats, especially pre-
served meats
The Baby's Milk.
From the moment of birth every
baby ought to have the best possible
care and food 1t is his birthright
If he does not get 1t he will not do
the part intended for him when he is
grown. The best food for the baby
is that which nature arranged for
him-his mothers milk. For this
food there can be no substitute.
When it fails we do the best we can
and make a fairly satisfactory food
for infants by modifying cows milk.
The proteins and fats in COWS milk
are too large proportions for the deli
cate digestive organs of an infant,
and to make it resemble as closely
as possible the mothers milk, it must
be diluted somewhat and sweetened
slightly
The balancing of the proportions of
sugar. fat and proteids cannot be
done successfully by ignorant or care
less mothers. 1t is not enough mere
ly to dilute the milk and sweeten it.
Baby feeding must be exact and every
baby should be fed according to his
personals needs. All babies are not
alike and what may be a satisfactory
food for one may be quite unsatis-
factory for another.
When your baby has to be fed on
cows milk, modify it according to a
physicians orders. Never expert
ment; never change foods unless you
know what you are uoing. Be sure
that the baby's food agrees with him.
Then watch him grow.
Need for Safety First.
"The United States" declared Ar
thur Williams, President of the
American Museum of Safety recently,
"is continually waging bloody war
within its own borders-a war in
which the casualties amount to $4,000
lives each year and in which the num-
Der annually wounded is about $780,
900. 1t sounds like the returns from
the European battlefields, but it is
the number of workers killed and in
jured each year in our American in
dustries. 1t is appealing when we
stop to consider $4,000 lives wiped
out, and wiped out unnecessarily, in
time of peace. This would constitute
