Arttficial Infant Feeding.

Artificial Infant Feeding.
When and only when the supply OF
muthef's milk is defective or when OBJ
aicrmalities Of the nipples or constitu-
tional diseases render nursing inadvis-
abic, and this should be determined by
Al physician; should artificial feeding
be resortea to. Numerous so-called in

pose, bst most Of them are very defec-
tive, - that for practical purposes cows

lv fron the latter in composition, and
a4der the most favorable circumstances
is emily m imperfect substitute for it.
lsut, after carefully testing cows
milk chemically and comparing 1t with
neither q nailk, we find that it is slight
II acid II reaction, and has specific
gravity OF 1929 to 1.033. Its average
composition is: Proteids, per cent;
fats, per cent; sugar, 4.5 per cent;
and salts z per cent. It is apparent,
therefore that it contains less fat and
sugar, and more proteids and salts than
Asther Is milk, and consequently can
net be used in it's natural form, but
must first be modified in some way.
And please remember that modified
cow Is milk is far better than any OF
the advertised artificial infant foods. A
mother owes it not only to herself and
family, but to her race and humanity
when she can not nurse her child, to see
that it gets the best man can give and
that il some form Of modified cow s
milk. Just because it must be pre-
pared fresh and is less expensive than
sone OF the many advertised foods, does
not in any way take from its usefulness.
Some mothers are too prone to think ink
that just because thing is common
and cheap, that it is not as good as
ssrnething else which costs more,
Many Of the stomach conditions OF
middle age are directly attributable to
improper feeding during infancy. Then

If the child is healthy, satisfactory
results are frequently obtained by d.
luting cows milk with various proper
tielis of water and adding sugar.

Tory, convinced me that adult school
ing is an important phase of education
work. The men in the army did harder
and better work In their studies and COW
cred more ground in a given time than
is usual in ordinary schools.
THE success OF the Khaki University
emphasized the necessity OF providing
educational advantages for erownups in
the civilian population. Thousands of
men and women who missed an educa-
ton in their youth, either through ne
glect or lack OF opportunity, would be
eager to attend school again or take col
lege courses II they could do so without
having to interrupt their work. Auult
schools would prove of benefit to native
citizens and OF special advantage TO for
AgD settlers. In time they would raise
the standards of national enlightenment

FOREST FIRES DISASTROUS.
Heavy Toll Taken From Canadia n
National Wealth.

One OF the most destructive forest
fire seasons in recent years is taking
a tremendous toll of Canadian national
wealth. with the exception OF a small
area in northern Ontario, practically all
the fires cleaned on tho timber crops
on lands that are useless for agricul-
ture. Such lands can grow only one
crop and that is wood. Once stripped
these areas lie profitless for half a CEN
fury or more. Repeated fires usually
kill reproduction for all time to come
and another section or parrens is thereby
added to the nations great total.
Contrary to public impression. every
forest fire is a direct blow at the provin-
cial or federal treasury, for the reason.
as the Monetary Times correctly points
out, that moro than 80 per cent. of the
forest lands of Canada are public owned.
Licenses issued are for cutting rights
and are usually for one year. The title
to the lands always remains in the name
Of the Canadian people. and this fact
makes forest protection essentially a
matter. for public cooperation. More than
$7,000y00 year are taken in taxes
from forest areas by provincial and
Dominion governments.

we had better roads to offer this year

better roads next year.

to make it's annual tour to Sault Ste.

through Canada via Sudbury. North
