Why the Stove is Stove.

The typical household operates

principle.
Why is the stove in the kitchen
kept black? The United States bu.
reau of Standards asserts that not
one women in ten knows. 1t says
that the reason is that a blackened
stove is the hottest of stoves. A
nickel plated stove loses half of its

lJses less heat than one insulated

Infant Feeding

Last year in Missouri alone more
than 1000 babies died Tnren.
fourthS If these children died before
they were three months obi At
least halt OF thesa babies cDnld
have been saved by proper feeding
in the opinion Of Miss Louise Stan
ley of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture. 1t is very
important that the child should
have during these first months the
best food, and nothing else is as
good as that which nature has pro-
vided mothers milk
Mothers milk is best for the baby
for the following reasons:
1 1t is adapted to the needs of
the child in composition and
amount.
2. 1t is provided at the proper
temperature.
3. 1t is more easily dieested by
the baby.
4. 1t doesn't sour
5. 1t contains no bacteria and
dirt.
6. 1t strengthens the baby
against disease
If mothers realized how much
greater is the chance for life of the
naturally fed child, they would
make a greater effort to nourish
their children. There are few
mothers who cannot with consist
ent effort nurse their babies The
mother must have abundant and
wholesome food, plenty Of liquids
in the diet, plenty Of diet, exercise
and fresh air Regular nursing
stimulates the flow of milk.
