of United States
CHAPTER VI.

Under Presidents Monroe, J. q.
Adams and Jackson (1817-183D,
the development of the west was
started, Indian uprisings we're
quelled, and the division OF the
country into north and south over
the slavery question became mark
ed.
The southern states wanted
more slave territory" and sought
to have Texas, which had revolt
ed from Mexico, admitted to the
| Union.
The division became even more
marked under Presidents Van
Buren, and Harrison, and Presi-
dent Tyler, who succeeded Har-
rison on his death, pushed thru
an annexation treaty with Texas,
which the senate rejected in 1843.
Under Tyler. too, war with
Britain doomed over the Oregon
boundary question, which was set
tied by the United States taking
the southern and Britain the
northern half of the country then
known by that name.
Polk was elected president on
Ian annex-Texas platform, but be-
fore he took office congress put
through the annexation measure,
in 1845,
Polk sent troops across Nueces
river into territory in dispute be-
tween the United States and
Mexico. This resulted in the
Mexican war, terminated after a
quick American victory In the
treaty by which Mexico gave up
the northern third of her country
now New Mexico, Arizona, part
OF Colorado, Utah, Nevada and
California.
During this war U. S. troops
occupied Mexico City, having
marched in from Vera Cruz, while
another army conquered the
northern provinces.
Zachary Taylor, war hero, was
elected president in 184S, being
succeeded on his death by Willard
Fillmore.
Gold discovered in California in
184S caused rush to the Pacific
coast.
Compromise measures In 1850
STAYED OF the explosion over sla-
very for another decade, but the
division of the country continued
to grow during the administra-
tion of Pierce and Buchanan
(1863-1S61.)
Repeal of the Missouri com
promise left WESTERN territories
free to decide for themselves
whether they should enter the
Union as free or slave states. This
brought civil war In Kansas. par

baby is one plain and simple made
of soft, light and warm materials.

not according to the month in the
year; see that his hands, feet and
stomach are warm and his head
cool.
BABY'S FOOD.
The feeding of the baby Is gen.
orally the most important of all
the problems the mother has to
face.
Mothers milk is the food which
nature has provided and under
normal conditions is the one food
absolutely necessary and best for
the natural healthy growth Of sv-
cry infant.
Milk contains the five essential
elements, fats, sugars and
starches, proteins and mineral
salts, which the human body re-
quires for growth, and in such
form that the infant may digest it.
Sometimes substitutes are nee
essary, the best substitute for
mothers milk is cows milk.
The ingredients are the same
but in very different proportion;
consequently it needs careful mod
flying.
Many patent baby foods are ex-
cellent substitutes in certain cir
cumstances but much care should
be exercised I'm their use. Rely
on your doctor at all times con-
corning your baby's food, 1t is Of
utmost Importance; remember
that he has had training and ex-
perience with many and the moth
er has not. Scrupulous cleanliness
and sterilization of baby's bottles
and nipples is absolutely neces-
sary. And don't forget that the
baby wants water to drink, water
that has been boiled and cooled.
BABY'S SLEEP.
Sleep is the baby's best grow
ing time. He should be pro-
vided with the best possible
sleeping accommodations, so that

the hours of sleep may be of great
est value to him. See that he Is
alone in quiet, darkened spot,
where there Is plenty of fresh air,
protected from flies and mosqui-
toes.
He should always sleep in bed
by himself, It Is unhealthy for him
to sleep with his mother, and
many a baby has been smothered
while sleeping with an older per-
son. A large clothes basket makes
an excellent bed for the little one,
It protects him from drafts, can
be moved easily and be kept clean.
Baby's mattress should be pro-
tected by piece of oil cloth or
rubber sheeting, and aired in the
sun as often as possible. Never
allow baby to sleep on feathers.
Be sure that the bedclOthes are
warm, but not to heavy.
