During the second year the child
should have four meals a day: hours,
am. 10 am, 2 pm, 6 pm. Nothing
but water should be allowed between
his meals.
At twelve months the baby should
be weaned from the bottle and taught
to drink milk from cup. He may
then have cereals twice day. which
should be thoroughly cooked. and for
the first two or three months they
should be strained. He should have
four cups of milk daily
When fifteen months old he may have
at first a teaspoonful later one able
spoonful. of rare scraped beef. mutton
when eighteen months old he may
have one-half of a mealy baked po-
tato daily.
When two years old he may have
most of the fresh green vegetab les
when thoroughly cooked and finely
The juice of fresh fruits may be
given after twelve mouths
Cooked fruit, such as baked apple
or apple sauce, should be given once a
day after a child is eighteen months
old 1t should at first be strained.
Stale raw fruits are especially dan
gerous in the city and in the summer.
Mr.. West also urges that 1t is safe
new food, noting its effect upon the
child and then strengthening it slowly.
Only one new article is to be added to
the diet at time. Meat should be boil
ed. roasted or broiled and cut in fine
pieces. Many of the things that chill
dren love are positively forbidden to
babies such as cakes. candy. dough-
nuts. all pastry. fresh breads. griddle
cakes, sirups, molasses, pork, tough
mea-, bananas, any overripe fruit
pickles. tea. coffee and soda water.
The explicit instructions given by
the government authorities upon the
management and care of the baby in
clude every detail concerning his home
and all of his belongings, with the full
list of his necessary wardrobe. HIS
home must be sanitary and clean. his
first bed may be but a simple clothes
hamper, with its entire cost covered by
S3.15: his crib. whether plain or expen-
sive must be screened to keep him fly

ouires twenty-four ounces of milk
daily. which should be diluted with
twelve ounces of water. To this should
be added two ounces of limewater and
three even tablespoonfuls of sugar.
This should be given in five feelings
The amount of milk should be increased
by one-half ounce every week. The
milk should be increased only il the
child is hungry and digesting his food
well. 1t should not be increased unless
he is hungry. nor if he is suffering from
indigestion even though he seems
hungry.
At nine months the average child re-
quires thirty ounces of milk daily,
which should be diluted with ten ounces
of water. To this should be added two
even tablespoonfuls of sugar and two
ounces of limewater. This should be
given in five feelings. The sugar added
may be milk sugar or il this cannot be
obtained cane (granulated) sugar or
maltese (malt sugar.. At first plain
water should be used to dilute the
milk.
At three months. sometimes earlier.
weak barley water may be used in
the place of plain water; it rs made of
one-half level tablespoonful of barley
-four to sixteen ounces of water and
cooked twenty minutes.
At six months the barley -four may
be increased to one and one-half even
tablespoonfuls cooked in the twelve
ounces of water.
At nine months the barley -four may
be increased, to three level tablespoon
fuls cooked in the eight ounces of
water.
Sugar is added to the food not to
sweeten 1t. but to furnish necessary
foodstuff.
a simple rule for feeding the aver
age healthy baby advocated by Mrs.
West is to give one and one-ounces of
milk in twenty-four hours for every
pound the baby weighs. To this. of
course, is added the sugar and dilut-
inc ftti1 ltrn nSad frt hug
a baby weighing ten pounds would take
fifteen ounces of milk, increased by the
sugar and fluid.
Great emphasis is laid by all of these
various government instructors in
baby care upon the necessity of keep
ing everything used in connection with
the feeding of baby thoroughly clean
since much of baby illness is laid to the
score of unclean food, bottles, nipples
and utensils.
Equally as important are the kind,
quality. quantity and preparation of
foods for the older baby who is be
ginning TO exercise and to run about.
Here, too, is the caution to see that
the child has plenty of cool, not iced,
drinking Waler MIS- w est also recon- =
mends the attention of mothers to the
following rules from the American
Medical Association for feeding older
babies:
Unless child has loose bowels he
should be given from one to three ia
blespoonfuls of strained fruit Juice
once a day after he is seven or eight
months old.
After he is nine months old he may
be given squeezed beef juice. beef tea,
or plain mutton or chicken broth once
a day.
When he is ten months old he may
have part of soft egg, small piece
of crisp toast or Zwieback or a crust
of bread to chew Immediately after his
feeding.
Other solid foods should not be given
during the first year.
At twelve months he may take his
milk undiluted and strained cereal may
be given twice day.

above the milk level. Allow the water
to come to a boil and boil for f1ve min
utes. then run cold water into the YES
perature of the running water. 1t Is
then put into the ice chest.
AS It is so important that the baby's
milk should be kept cold until used,
the directions for a simple homemade
ice box is given as follows:
Procure a wooden box about eighteen
inches square and twelve inches deep.
Get two tin boxes, one about eleven
inches square and nine inches deep
(cracker boxes viii do). Cut the bot
tom out of the larger box. Place three
inches of sawdust in the wooden box
Put the larger bottomless box upon the
layer of sawdust and fill the space be-
tween the wooden and the outer tin
box with sawdust.
the wooden box together with cleats
nailed on the outer surface. Tack about
fifty layers of newspapers cut to the
size of the wooden box to the inner
side Of the lid. Make hinges Tor the
lid by lacking two strips of leather to
the outside of the box and then tack
two or more on the front side of the
box to fasten down the lid securely by
catching them on nails driven into that
side of the box. The box is then ready
for use.
Into the smaller tin box put the wire
basket of bottles filled and corked. and
surround them with cracked ice. Place
the smaller tin box inside the larger
and close down the lid. Each morning
remove inner box, pour out the water,
clean and repack with Ice Keep the

Under the same plan Mrs. West OF
the children's bureau suggests two tin

within the other. Five cents worth of
ice is all that is required for the
twenty-four hours.
The following directions for feeding
the baby have been prepared by COM
mittee of the American Medical Asso-
citation and are offered through the bull
Ietins for the use of mothers who may
desire to follow them:
Beginning on the third day. the aver
age baby should be given three ounces
of milk daily. diluted with seven ounces
of water To this should be added one
Tablespoonful of limewater and two
level teaspoonfuls of sugar. This
should be given In seven feedtpgs.
AT one week the average child re-
auires five ounces of milk daily, which
should be diluted with ten ounces of
water To this should be added one and
one-haIf even tablespoonfuls of sugar
and one ounce of limewater. This
should be given in seven feelings. The
milk should be increased by one-half
ounce about every four days The
water should be increased by one-half
ounce every eight days.
At three months the average child re-
uuires sixteen ounces of milk daily,
which should be diluted with sixteen
ounces of water. To this should be
added three tablespoonfuls of sugar
and two ounces of liIaewater. This
should be given in six feelings. The
milk should be INCREASED by one-half
ounce every six days. The water should
be reduced by one-half ounce about
every two weeks.

away from the dust. and none but such
as Is provided with a comfortable
body and four wheels is considered mt
for tiny child's use for long periods.
Not bit of his apparel is overlooked,
and special attention is directed to his
shoes. so that the parent may not be
beguiled into selection from stand
points of beauty at the expense of the
natural form of the child's foot. For
his comfort in his outings blanket or
wrap has been devised that protects
the little feet and hands from chill
ing. Modern ideas demand that baby
spend every possible minute of his time
out of doors. except in stormy and ex-
IRENE weather, and much thought has
been put upon his outdoor garments.
Close upon the heels of this eXhaus
tive course in baby care comes the adj
vice of the experts of the Department
of Agriculture, telling what is best in
foods for the fodder from three to
six years old. and then again the often
sought advice to what to give the
school child for it's lunch.
Food for the child from three to six
must not only be chosen to fit his
bodily requirements, but attention must
be given to fixing these dishes in an
attractive manner. Moreover. the child
must have variety; group of
menus are given and large number
of recipes for the preparation of a
wide range of dishes that are sure to
appeal to a child and at the same
time give the needed nutrition.
A child who is carefully fed, so as to
meet his physical needs. must have
every day at least one food from each of
the following groups:
% Milk aud dishes made chiefly OF
milk meat, fish, poultry. eggs and meat
substitutes.
co Bread and other cereal foods.
go Butter and other wholesome fats.
% Vegeta bles and fruits
90 Simple sweets.
This idea is explicitly demonstrated
by a full days ration which contains
enough of the different kinds of food
to meet all of the child's needs. sug-
gestion for Il sensible. nutritious break
fast includes a baked apple (only the
pulp is given to youngest children),
cereal mush, milk, toast and butter.
This does not mean that this same bill
of fare must be followed day after day.
but that the arrangement of foods is

TWO KINDS OF GOOD ROADS,"

WYE are much of a civil engineer as engineers %
w In fact hold diploma Our reputation IN that
line therefore doesn't amount much. But we arc willing
TO stake our reputation as prophet, which i, pcrhap,
equally good Or bad, according to the way you look
that the speakers before the Ozark Trails convention
who told their auditors that permanent roads can be CON
,tucted for approximately $500 per mile are prng up a
lot OF grief for hymse,c, when they get down to the
serious business OF road building
The good roads movement, has attained so much OF an
nucus at TN, time that would be little short OF caam
deceive the public with respect to the cost OF per
mancnt highways Better by far to tell the taxpayers
frankly and canldly the outset that good roads cost
good moncy,hl ,s several time, $500 per mile II not
hcy will likely ha'k when 1t to providing the mean,
t.r their construction
The term good roads" possesses a multiplicity Of
,teurucanccs To it means graded dirt roads
another hard ,uaccd roads and To a third something
else But when we say permanent roads take it that
hard,urtaccd roads, the only permanent kind implied
And hard surfaced roads cost all the way from 10000 to
$4,000 per mile according to the material used
1t is a rule as old as civilization itself that there is
little one get in this world aside from advice, for
nothing We doubt it we shall ever witness the con,truc
