BREAST FEEDING.
Why q Mother Should Nurse Her
Child.


Mothers milk is the normal food
for all young animals, and in each
species the milk is adapted to the
growth needs as we'll as to the digest
i've powers of the young OF that
species. Unlike most young animals,
the human infant is born long before
the time at which he was intended to
dispense with maternal nourishment,
for child does not develop teeth or
the ability to take solid food until
many months after birth.
An infant deprived of mothers
milk, ? to which the partially devel-
oped. digestive system is adapted,
must.be fed with the greatest care
and sintelligence. There is nothing
"just. as good" as mothers milk.
Breast feeding depends largely on
the care the mother takes of herself.
Before birth-Good food and care
during pregnancy. Skilled assist
ance.at confinement. Rest and good
carsduring lying-in period.
After birth-Ample, nourishing
diet! and plenty of liquids. Attention
to constipation. Sufficient sleep and
rest. i Outdoor airing, gradually in
creased exercise, and recreation.
All good food can be turned into
milk, but milk in the mothers diet
is the best milk producer.
Breast milk can be modified to
suit the baby.
Mothers milk if scanty and mad
equate, even on plenty of food and
drink, should be conserved and sup
plemented by bottle feeding. Some
breast milk is much better than none
and should be jealousy guarded dur
ing the first six months of an in
fant,s life. The danger period
COMES in the early months. Arti-
fciaHy fed infants die during the
first year of life in far greater pro-
portion than those that are breast
fed for at least the first six months.
II breast milk does not agree with
the baby, do not wean him until you
have tried:
Improving the quantity of the milk
by attention to the mothers diet, in
take of liquids, and details of her
daily life.
Feeding the baby at regular four
hour intervals.
Shortening the length of single
feelings.
Giving one-half to one ounce of
boiled water before each nursing.
If breast milk is scanty, giving
some diluted cows milk after one or
more feelings.
If breast milk is supplemented by
bottle milk it is better to give both
at one feeding rather than alternate
the two. The breast is apt to dry up
if the child does not nurse at least
every four hours. -
When to wean the baby. Weaving
should be gradual and should be COM
pleted by the end of the first year.
Therefore, when the breast milk be-
gins to fail, or by the ninth month
in any. case, begin part bottle feeding.
Breast milk is best for babies.

NAMES ON PACKAGES.

The postoffice department calls
attention of postmasters to the rule
requiring senders of parcels through
the mail to write the name and ad-
dress of the sender on the outside of
the parcel. Neglect to conform with
this requirement will necessitate the
refusal of such parcels.
Persons and concerns receiving
parcels which do not bear the send
er's name and address are often un-
able to ascertain who sent them and
give the sender proper credit, or, if
the parcels are unbelievable, their
return cannot be effected.
In order ia facilitate the handling
of parcels of the fourth class matter
and prevent confusion and delay, it
is important that the sender's name
and address be placed on parcels in
uniform manner, and to this end
sender's return card should be placed
in the upper left hand corner of the
side of the envelope, label or tag
bearing the addresses name and ad-
Dress.
It is highly desirable that there be
inclosed in every parcel of fourth
class matter card or label bearing
the written or printed names and adj
dresses of the sender and the ad-
dressee, so that in case such names
and addresses appearing on the out
side should be destroyed or lost the
delivery of the parcel or it's return
to the sender may nevertheless be
effected.

Germany, Dosed, Better Off.

Germany lies helpless, stricken
down and at the mercy of her foes. "
Does she? She is in better and a
more hopeful position today than she
was in the summer of 1914
She has taken a dose of medicine
that has driven miltarism entirely out
of her system. For the future she can
devote her entire energies to business.
She is not helpless. She can become
more powerful and prosperous if she
will devote all her energies to industry.
Millions of her men had to be kept in
idleness and waste in her lOathesome
army. She had to support the Kaiser
and his 10000 spendthrifts and worse.
Her children We're brought up on lies
and brutality. Now they may be
taught the truth as to their neighbOrs
and as to themselves Never was the
future so bright to Germany as it is
today. 1t is the duty of every indi-
vidual now to show to Germany what
real Christianity means. That people
is heather nation, needing mission
aries who will release her from the
bondage of Satan which her rulers
fastened upon her
