Importance of Partial Breast Feeding

TT nursing mother finds that the supply
i Of milk is deficient, she should not be-
come discouraged and give up nursing her
child IT, on account of the Illness of the
mother, It is necessary TO resort temporarily
to artificial feeding, the child should be
given the breast again as soon as possible,
even II the supply is very small. Nature
will frequently respond TO the demand, and
the milk supply will become better as the
physical condition of the mother improves,
Every mother should know that breast
milk contains vitamines and other subtle
elements essential for the child. Cows
milk is really poor substitute for mothers
milk. A child fed arthcially misses some
thing Of the physical endowment which
Nature intended for him and which can only
be secured through Natures own medium
nutriment drawn from his own mothers
breast. One or two spoonfuls Of mothers
milk may be sufficient to maintain normal
growth and development in a child which
without this natural aid would cease to
develop properly.
II necessary artificial feeding may be
used to supplement the mothers milk for
a short time
The mother should never forget that her
own milk, even il deficient in quality and
quantity is better than any kind of artificial
food only under the pressure of urgent
necessity and positive orders OF a competent
physician should she give up nursing her
baby.
The quantity OF milk furnished by nursing
mothers differs greatly The amount may
be only sufficient to supply the infant with
a few ounces two or three times day,
which means supplementary feeding, or
there may be much more than any child
can take.
Certain foods tend to increase the flow Of
milk This is particularly true Of the whole
fruits.
Not less than three pints Of water should
be taken daily by the nursing mother in
addition to the liquids taken with the meals,

Adventure

Black wave the trees in the forest
And n rough wind hurrIes by,
But the swneherd's toddling daughter
Knows where fallen pine cones lie
And, girt with snowy apron,
She scampers alert and gay,
To the hidden pool In the hollow
Where the wan witch-people pIay.
They smile the wee wrnkled women.
They creep TO her pinafore
ANA lay IN her lap strange treasures
Trolls brought from the oceans floor
Ana they marvel at her blond tresses
And braid them with scented fern.
Ana they lave her dusty brown ankIes
with snow-water from the burn.
But nobody listens or heeds them
The swinehcrd hews a new trail,
The swineherds wife in the cottage
Pours the sour milk from the paiI
And little Gerta lags homeward
Dream shod through the shadows dee,
Her lashcs heavy with wonder
They whisper, She's been asIean"

BAD VODE Mustn't
HIDE BEHIND FLAG
U. B. o. Man Thinks War Will Not
Injure Business in U. S. A.

Charles J. Kraus, the vaudeville agent
who has again Joined the forces of the
United Booking Offices predicts that the
coming season will not be in the least af-
fected, as far as business is concerned, by
the war
He points out that the war in Europe
actually doomed the theatrical business In
London and the cities of the British Isles.
AS there are thousands of soldiers con-
stantly on furlough, he is of the opinion
that similar conditions will result here.
Incidentally. he expresses the belief that
there is tendency among many acts TO
take advantage of the use of the American
flag. While patriotism should always be
encouraged" says Mr. Kraus, nevertheless
1t should not be used to hide mediocre abl-
ity. The successful vaudeville act of the
future will have to possess merit as well as
patriotism"

As bridesmaids usually dress in frocks

stockings and gloves would be involved
unless the bride is wealthy and insists on

ary however. These days many parties are

and miscellaneous showers and all kinds Of
entertainments. Now, II Is not necessary for
any one bridesmaid 70 entertain the bridal

comfortable about II IL one could not II
the bride is very close friend and knows
a persons financial status she would be
apt to desire that there be no entertain
ment given. I'm afraid II is not a cheap
proposition from any point OF view, how
ever.
