Weaving the
Baby
RH Rrice Relden. MD.

THE weaving of baby should
be superintendent by the
physician. II weight is not
properly gained, or il there
are digestive disorders, the physi-
elan must adjust the constituents
of the baby's food so as to correct
the trouble. 1t is exceedingly risky
for others TO attempt to balance
properly the fats, salts, protein.
starches, and sugar which enter into
the composition of a child's food
Five daily feelings at four-hour in
4ervals Should be given. Nothing is to
be given at night. The five meals
are TO be reduced to three as soon
as expe1ient irst by emitting the
second meal and later the fourth
meal, so MAT by the time the baby
Is two years old he will be having
breakfast, a heavy meal in the mid
die of the day, and q light meal at
night
The appearance OF the teeth
means that something in addition
TO milk is needed by the child. The
continuance of an all-liQuid diet
may spoil perfectly good teeth
through lack of use, and general
development suffer as well
Broth is useful, provided IL con-
tains farinaceous food Of some kind.
Broth by itself Is not advisable.
The best vegetables to use dur
ing the second year are spinach, 20
tatoes, carrots, and lettuce. Dried
beans, peas. and lentiIs are val
liable. The fruits which should be
given are apples, oranges, and
cooked bananas.
The water in which vegetables
arc boiled should itself be boiled
down and added again to the veg
etables when they are strained, as
this water contains valuable salts.
Dry toast, zwieback, crackers,
and graham waters are all useful
additions to the diet
After the second year egg,
minced meat cabbage, caulifiower,
parsnips, tUrnips, asparagus, bread,
and rolls may be given.

Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

OUY ELL, let Us see where Ne
N left little Puss Junior
" in the last story. Oh,
now remember. He
was back once more at the castle
OF my Lord Of Carabas where his
father, the famous PuSS in Boots'
was Major Domo-
You remember that the Ark had
come UP to the window Of Puss
juniors room and he had stepped
ont and into bed. hardly knowing
what he was doing. for It was late
at night and 1 guess he was pref
ty-sleepy. Well, when he woke up
the next morning, he was surprised
as he could be And when he
jumped out OF bed and ran over
10 the window TO look out. he saw
his old father sitting in the gar
den
So Puss quickly pulled on his red
TOP boots and ran down to see
him. And, oh myI How glad his
father wasi And then Puss sat
down and told him all about his
adventures. and after that they
both went inside the castle to see
nv Lord and Lady Carabas-
Well, as the days went by 1T
tie Puss took walks with his father
through the country and the woods,
and one day as they both sat down
to rest. they heard a tiny voice
say:
twinkle. twinkle. twinkley, oh,
Tell me where you would like
to go?
Over tho hills and far away.
Down to the ocean white win
spray.
Or go with me to q little house
Where lives a pretty tiny white
house,"
"who are you?" asked Puss, for
he couldn't see anybody, and Meth
er could his father; but that wasn't
so strange, for he was pretty old,
you know.
I'm the swallow who lives in the
royal stables" and then down from
a tree flew a little swallow.
"Oh. yes, l know you" said Puss
Juniors father. Il have seen you
many times. But where is the little
mouse house you speak of?"
Follow me- said the swallow,
and pretty soon they came to a
funny little house at the foot OF
big oak tree. There's where she
lives" chirped the swallow.
I
and knocked on the front door, and
pretty soon a little mouse looked
ont OF one Of the uppe- windows,
for she was a very timid little crea-
ture and never opened her front
door without first looking out Of
the window.
Mercy me-" she cried. Here are
two cats knocking on my front
door" and then she slammed down
the window and hid behind the old
grandfather clock in the corner OF
the room.
"Dlclory. dickory dock.
I'm hiding behind the clock,
SO please so away, for I'm sorry to
say

"Oh, well, Wen call another

then he and his father went back
to the castle. and the swallow flew
back to the royal stables and told

she would leave him IL we
could not both live with the
family, has begged her not to
marry. He will not consent to
our living in his home, and
could not manage without her
help. He has always treated
me well and says that I would
be the only one whom. II he
were so disposed. he would al
low his daughter to marry.

depend largely on her
age. II she is a minor. the father

see how he can object to her mar
