BABY'S FIRST MONTH.
Part Six.

Part Six.
A most important consideration Is the
mothers food because Of its effect
upon the quantity and quality of her
milk for the baby For example. plenty
of milk. cocoa and cream taken bv the
mother will increase the amount of milk
very apprcclably No nursing mother
should drink less than quarts of fluid
/ daily Plenty oi water is very essential
as it viii not only increase the amount Of
milk hut will flush cut the kidneys thus
getting rid Of many impurities
The mothers diet may be quite full
That is. meat once a day, potatoes, vege-
tables bread and butter, etc. Cereal and
rice are particularly good. Coffee and
tea. especially more than one cup a day
are 70 be condemned Small quantities
Of tannin or caffeine can be efound in the
milk when these are taken oftener bv
the mother. and naturally they are bad
for the baby
1t Is needless TO say, in these prohi-
bition DAYS that beer and alcoholic
drinks are 10 be let strictly alone
Green fruit is to be avoided bv the
mother. rs il will upset the baby very
quickly through the milk
IS regards medicine. the nursing
mother should not take il except upon
the advice Of doctor II the bowels
become constlpated which should not
be allowed take some mild laxative and
not salts Salts cause a great loss OF
fluid which is of course 10 be avoided
as it will cause a reduction in the amount
OF milk
The mother should be careful 70 get
the full required amount Of sleep par
ticularly when she is nursing her baby
Ten hours out of the p is q very good
amount. never less than eight
Worry is not to be permitted, as it will
verv soon seriously affect not only the
amount but the quality Of the milk.
Oftentlmes rash will break out on
the baby or he will develop some trouble
with his bowels doctor should always
be consulted in this case. Ii often means
that there is something in the mother S
diet which if changed will cure the con-
dition In other cases it means that there
is some constituent of the mothers milk
that is above or below normal IN guam
tity. In this case, only laboratory
examination will show what Is wrong
and this should be made at once. If
allowed TO 20 on serious results may
develop.
Baby's diaper should be watched care
fully as this is one of the most importants
means of telling the condition of his
digestion and assimilation. The first few
stools after birth viii be black or very
dark in color. This is quite normal due
to the maconium which is present in the
bowel at birth. After this has passed off
| the stools should be yellow IN color and
not more than three or four day. If
there is any change in color if they be-
come green or have yellow humps in them,
consult q doctor at once Remember
that the soft, yellow, smooth stool is the
normal one.
Baby boys often need circumcision.
This should be attended 80 for if let GO
it often leads to the formation of bad
habits.
Diapers must always be kept abso-
lutely clean Never dry and use second
time no matter how slightly soiled. Boil
at least Is minutes in water with some
soda added. Dry in the open air and sun
and not by the kitchen stove.

JAMES WATT, ENGINEER,
BORN 1874 YEARS AGO
Noted Scotchman, Who Invented
Steam Condenser, Which He Pat
ented in Year 1852.

Tomorrow. January 10. will be the
1s4th anniversary of the birth OF
James Watt, the Scottish engineer
who long since passed into history as
the inventor of the modern condensing
steam engine. James Watt was born
at Greenock, Scotland, on the 18th OF
January,.1736 After years of studi-
Gus application Watt perfected and
obtained his first patent on his In
vention about the year 1852.
The numerous and vital Improve
ments introduced by him in the com
bination of it's mechanism and in ths
economy of its management has ren-
dered the steam engine at once tbs
most powerful, the most easily ap-
piled and regulated and. generally
speaking, the least expensive or All
prime movers for impelling machin-
ery of every description.
The first steam engine as planned
nv Watt was erected at Kinnel, near
Ijnlithplow, where was located the
Carron iron works, under the direc-
ton Of DR.. John Roebuck. IT was at
this iron works that Watt faced the
many difficulties in the details or mis-
construction on which the basic prin-
ciple of the modern condensing steam
engine was worked out.
The perfection of the great Corliss
engine illustrates the developments
of the first conception OF the little boy
here illustrated.

Threatened Whole World.
BY BARON Won ECKARDsTEIN.

tFormer Attache at the German Embassy in
London.) -.
There is no doubt that by his public
and private utterances the kaiser es-
tranged almost every nation Of the
world. No matter how hard the en-
bassy in London might work for
friendship with England. the emperor
always overthrow the entire edifice by
some ill-chosen words. At one time.
during the life of King Edward VII,
we had succeeded in laying the founda :
ton of real and full agreement be-
tween the two nations. Then the kaiser
wrote King Edward letter. The next
day the British monarch sent for me.
What have you done here?' he
asked. at the same time reading parts
called the British diplomats "unmiti-
gated noodles"
The king placed the letter on the
table. regarded me seriously and said,
What do you think of it?''
| answered:
majesty considered the letter as a
joke"
King Edward laughed, nodded to-
ward me and said. Yes, you are right
l will consider this matter as joke,
but. unfortunately, | have been the
victim of many such jokes and even
worse. What would the kaiser say if
| played such pranks?
LAS you have known for years, I
have always had the greatest sympa =
thy for Germany. and even today ! am
of the opinion that England and Ger
many would be the most logical allies.
Together they could police the world
and secure international peace. But
these things can be pushed too far.
Some of the British statesmen have
the deepest distrust of Germany, and
| cannot hope to eradicate it if such
occurrences continue"
These statements show how, through
mistakes of the kaiser. King Edward
and his associates were beginning to
feel that alliance with a Germany ruled
by Wilhelm III was utterly impossible.
