mortality among breast-fed babies is
lower always than among babies arti-
hcally fed. In one study of seventy
nine families, in which eighty-hve OF
the children were breast-fed and 100
bottle-fed, all the breast-fed children
were alive at the end OF eleven years,
while 81 per cent OF the bottle-fed
babies were dead.
The problem of artificial feeding is
to come as close to the ideal or
mothers milk as possible. Every case
is a special problem, and is best
handled according to the directions
of the doctor, who understands the
baby. A few general principles may
help in understanding the particular
rules and formulas laid down. Since
cows milk is richer in protein, or
bodybuilding material, the milk must
b. diluted. This dilution lowers the
sugar and fat content of the milk,
which is made up by adding milk
sugar and cream, or using top milk
which is richer in cream. The diluting
substance is cooled boiled water, or
in some cases barley water. When
barley water is used, other ingredi-
ents are not always added. The milk
is sometimes made more digestible by
the addition of lime water, or by pep
tonizing, which is partially digesting
the protein of the milk. Generally a
sufficient quantity of the food for the
day is modified at one time and put
into separate nursing bottles.

Infant Feeding

"Of all that mankind has attempted
since the world began there is moth
ing which it has practiced so regular
ly, so persistently and on the whole
so successfully, as eating and drink
ing. 1t is, therefore, somewhat dis
quoting to find the great civilized
nations suddenly smitten with mis-
givlngs as 10 whether the rising gen.
Grafton is being suitably nourished.
The situation is one Of national i'm
portance. 1t calls for a reform of
the home dietary-beginning in the
earliest days" Thus begins an article
written few years, ago, chronicling
congress concerning Child Welfare.
Within the last years in the United
States, week in the springtime has
been set aside as Baby Week, so i'm
portant are the problems of baby's
life conceded to be. During Baby
Week last year in Omaha, an exhibit
was held and various lectures on the
care Of infants were given. This year
Baby Week has been relegated to the
background due to the stress OF the
world problems which bear down
upon all of us. 1t seems, however,
that we ought to turn our thoughts
to the baby for brief while.
The importance of proper food for
the baby cannot be over-emphasized.
On the proper food literally depends
the infants chance for life in many
cases, and for future health in most
cases. \Ihe ideal food for babies is
the mothers milk, for that is specially
fitted by nature for the purpose. In
normal cases it is more sanitary, for
there is no chance of contamination;
it is more fitted chemically to the
baby's needs; and it is more easily d.
gested. In some cases it is impossi-
Bile Tor the baby to have his natural
food and artificial feeding must be
used. But it is always risk, for the

Working Women in
Trousers.

With the United States actively in
the world war some of the working
fashions prevalent abroad, especially
trousers, may become necessary as
well as popular. Margar DAVIS,
writing from Paris to the Philadelphia
Ledger, thus describes the working
trouserettes in vogue in England and
France:
This war will change all things for
European women. Military service,
of sort, has come for them in both
France and England, where they are
replacing men employed in clerical
and other noncombatant departments,
including motor driving. The moment
this was decided upon in England it
was found that 10000 men would be
released for actual fighting, with pros
poets of the release of more than 200,-
900 more.
A good many of the old conven-
tons have been put quite aside, among
them the ancient superstition that
women's legs must be held sacred and
mysterious, not to be seen in public
The women workers on the English
farms (of whom there are thousands
in these days. dress frankly in knick-
erbockers or trousers, and no one
looks twice at them for it. In the
cities women window cleaners &c
about with pals and ladders and find
an obvious advantage in their definite
quite masculine pantaloons. At Self
ridges great store-the largest and
most progressive in London, operated
on Chicago lines-skirtless maidens
are not rare enough to attract undue
attention. The first to be seen there,
indeed, is not in the store at all, but

borax solution; before use the nipple
is rinsed with clear boiling water. The
borax solution should be changed at
least once day.
A special word should be given
against the use of thermos bottle
to keep the feelings warm. Nothing is
more dangerous than to keep milk at
a lukewarm temperature, unless both
milk and container are perfectly ster-
lie. condition hard, almost impossi-
BILE to obtain in a household. Milk
which is not sterile contains bacteria,
most of them harmless, but some may
be harmful, and any kind of bacteria
flourish in warm milk A thermos
bottle may be used to keep feeding
cold for journey, then the milk must
be warmed before it is given to the
baby.
A short cut to the modifying of
milk is found in the prepared baby
foods found on the market, the So
called proprietary" foods. As might
be expected, the short cut is not sat
isfactory. For the very reason that
every baby is special problem, best
understood by the doctor in charge, so
no one prepared food can suit every
babys needs. No proprietary food
should ever be used except at the
order of a doctor. They are useful
IN special cases, and in communities
where fresh pure milk is difficult to
obtain. In general the prepared foods
are too high in carbohydrates, food
stuff which tends to be stored in the
body as fat if eaten in excess. Hence a
baby fed on prepared food may look
healthy, because it is fat, but it may
lack the power to resist disease that
baby fed on ordinary milk will have.
CarelessnessNi in the preparation and
care of baby's food is such selfish
thing-it means that one is risking
the life of little helpless child. At
best, bottle-fed baby has only part
of the chance for life and health that
breast-fed baby has; it is really sim
full to lessen that chance in any way.

The kind of milk is important, for
unless milk is OF the best possible
quality, it is unhealthful for baby
with delicate digestion. Certified
milk is probably the best; next to
that pasteurized. Authorities are
somewhat divided as to the use of
boiled milk for infant feeding. A few
years ago boiled milk was absolutely
forbidden; but recent work in London
hospitals has modified that view, and
some Omaha specialists recommend
boiled milk. Whatever the kind, the
milk should be absolutely clean and
fresh, and the feelings kept cold after
preparation till used, when the food
should be warmed, in the bottle, to
lukewarm.
The choice and care of the appa-
ratus is of great importance, what
ever formula is used. The bottle
should be of the straight-sided va
riety, which permits cleaning. A mar
row-necked bottle is much less desira-
Bile. There should be as many bot
ties as there are feelings during the
day. After the bottle is used, it
should be rinsed in cold water, then
washed in hot soda solution. Before
reflling the bottle should again be
washed with hot soda solution, then
boiled for twenty minutes in clear
water or very dilute soda solution.
The bottle should be removed from
the water in which it was sterilized.
inverted for moment, then filled i'm
mediately with the food. One should
no more think of wiping a nursing
bottle than to wipe jar in which
fruit is put for canning. The filled
bottles are either put directly into
the refrigerator till used, or are pas
tuerized first. In either case the bottles
should be plugged with sterile cotton.
For pasteurization, special racks and
kettles may be purchased. The nip
pies after use are scrubbed with a
soda solution, then kept in a weak

Potatoes have not grown any
dearer in the last week. In fact in
some stores they are quoted a shade
cheaper. One store that sold them at
IS cents peck last week is selling
them at 80 cents now.
The new crop appearing on the
market from the southern gardens is
showing up bigger than it has been
heretofore. The new potatoes up to
this time have been about the size
of marbles, but now they are nearly
as big as hens eggs. The price has
alos been lowered somewhat as the
new supply begins to be bigger. One
store quoted the latest arrivals of new

less than twice the price of the old
ones.
There is big supply of fresh rad
