ed temperance and purity. AS

a symbol of health. A red five
pointed star appears on each
package Of Chamberlain's Tab
let's, and still fulfls it's ancient
mission as a symbol of health. If
you are troubled with indiges-
ton, biliousness or constipation,

which they afford. Obtainable

CLUB OF 20 MISSOURI
WRITER'S
State Guild Celebrated Birthday
Journalism Week at Uni

versity.
Twenty-nine Missouri writers
are now members Of the Missouri.
Writer'S Guild. Each of these
twenty-nine has written either g
book or several books or at least
three magazine articles. There
are also ten associates members
persons who aspire to be
writers. The Guild is just a
year old, having celebrated its
birthday May l Of Journalism
Week at the University of Mis-
souri,.
1--WE hope to enroll all Mis-
souri, writer's in the Guild" said
Lee Shippey of the Higginsville
Jeffersonian, who was elected
president at the annual meeting.
"The Guild is doing some worth
while things for Missouri and
for Missouri writer's. We hope
to inspire more interest in writ
ing about Missouri subjects. Our
state is rich in all kinds of liter
airy material. Through our or
ganization we can give beginners
some of the advantages Of sue
cessful writer's experiences"
There is no better training for
writing than that given by the
School of Journalism, according
to Mr.. Shippey. When W. H..
Handy decided to go into liter
airy work several years ago he
took a special course in the Eng
fish department here. He is now
one of the most successful mag
azine writer's in the country.

That the great progress made

MILK FOR BABY
BEST SUBSTITUTE FOOD
O-CaIled "Baby Foods" Should
Be Used Only in Excep-
tiOnaI Cases.

tiOnal Cases.
When it is necessary to feed
a baby artifcially, what food
should be selected? The market
is flooded with so-called baby
foods. Some of these contain
milk as a constituent, and some
starchy and other materials
which are to be added to milk.
The milk foods are for the most
part expensive and unnecessary.
The others do not, as a rule, fur
nish a satisfactory food. Their
use should be limited to those
exceptional cases in which cows
milk is not digested by the baby,
and even then they should be
adopted only on the advice of a
physician.
Condensed milk is often used,
but has many objections, says
DR.. M. P. Ravenel of the depart
ment of preventative medicine
of the University of Missouri.
Often the cream has been re-
moved, and in other specimens as
high as 40 per cent of sugar is
added. Frequently condensed
milks are made from poor milk.
In such cases they contain in
sufficient nourishment. Those
made with sugar are apt to be
indigestible, and practically al
ways make fat babies who lack
resistance and who succumb
easily to contagious diseases.
Condensed milk should be used
in emergencies, such as travel
ing.
Modified cows milk is the best
substitute for mothers milk. A
popular notion is that it is best
to feed a child on the milk of a
single COW. This is a mistake.
Mixed milk is better. Holstein
and Aryshires furnish the best
milk for artificial feeding. Milk
from Jerseys and Guernseys is
apt to be too rich in fat. The
cows should be healthy. Espec-
tally should they be free from
tuberculosis. The barns must
be clean, and the utensils used
must be clean and sterile.
Certified milk is largely used
in cities for infant feeding and
is the best. 1t is not, however,
generally available.
If a pure milk is used, it may
be given to the infant raw,
though it should always be
warmed to about to body tenn
perature. If there is any doubt
about the milk at all. it should
be pastuerized or sterilized. 1t
is widely believed that infants
fed on pastuerized or sterilized
milk are apt to develop scurvey.
Any tendency in this direction
may, however, be corrected by
giving a tablespoonful of orange
juice daily. A properly pasteur.
lied milk destroys the germs OF
all ordinary contagious diseases
and children using it will moi
have cholera infatum, dysentry
diarrheas and wasting intestin
al disorders. Pasteurization i.
accomplished by raising the mill
to a temperature of las degree!
and keeping it there for thirty
minutes. 1t is then rapidly cool
ed, and must be kept cold unit

handling of pasteurized milk re
quires more careful attention
