YOUR B A B Y
CARE AND TRAINING
A series OF articles prepared
especially for The Star by the
United States Public Health
Service.
BREAST FEEDING.

Mothers milk is the best and cheap
est food for the baby. 1t will make
the baby strong and healthy Moth
er's milk is always ready and it never
sours. 1t does not have to be pre-
pared or measured. 1t is practically
always safe. Mothers milk contains
the proper elements of food in the
right proportion for the growing
child.
The baby will have the best chance
of living if he is breast fed. Ten bot
tle-fed babies die to one that is fed at
the breast. 1t is seldom that breast
fed babies have bowel trouble. which
is so fatal in bottle-fed babies, es-
pecially during hot weather.
The newborn baby is put to the
breast when he is five or six hours
old. During the first twenty-four
hours he should nurse not more than
four times, but at both breasts each
time. A newborn BABY may be given
plain cool boiled water at regular in
tervals between nursing. Do not give
him any kind of tea or other mixture.
Beginning with the second day baby
should nurse every two and one-half
or three hours. On the three-hour
schedule he nurses at 6. and IL am.
until four months OLD. Alternate each
breast or let him take both breasts
each time, according to his appetite
and the amount of milk. In the event
the milk is delayed longer than the
third day baby should be fed from
the bottle at three-hour intervals. but
he should be put to the breast regu-
larly in order to stimulate the flow of
milk.
The average healthy baby, until it
is four months old, nurses every three
hours When he rs six months old
nurse every four hours. usually giving
both breasts each time, This makes
five musings in twenty-four hours
four during the day and one at night
as follows: am, 10 am, 2 pm,
pm. and 10 pm.
1t is necessary to follow regular
hours for nursing. If baby is fed
every time he cries his digestion soon
will be upset. If he cries between
feelings give him plain, cooled boiled
water Babies are as likely to cry
from overlooking as from hunger. OF
the breast milk seems insufficient for
your baby do not give up nursing him.
but after each feeding give him what
he wants of properly modified milk.
Every breast feeding and every ounce
of breast milk is just that much gained
for your baby)

to problems of material and child
health will be answered by experts

So keep them to the world unknown.
Mrs Peter Rabbit.
Now that Peter Rabbit was sure
that there was nothing queer about
the looks of those six babies of his,
but that they looked just as children

there been such wonderful children in

err have guessed that he and Mrs. Pc

four and sent them out into the Great
World to make homes for themselves.
Little Mrs. Peter saw just how proud
Peter was and she was pleased. OF
course, she was just as proud of them
herself: But also she was little
worried. For certain reasons she
would have felt easier if Peter had
been less proud of those six beautiful
children.

MARION. July Ex-senator Harding
prefaced his front porch campaign
with a public statement last night,
again asking Gov. Cox for specifica-
tions of the democratic stand on the
league of nations and charging that
certain powerful interna tional in
terestsr concerned in President Will
sons foreign policy Were preparing
to finance literally the democratic
campaign.
The republican nominee declared it
had become apparent that the demo-
cratic campaign managers hoped to
keep the league in the background
as a political issue, but he promised
they would not be permitted to do so.
The more the democrats attempt to
get away from this issue he said
"the more insistent the country will
be to know what they intend to do if
they are intrusted with the admins
tration."
Referring to the conference at Day

Walsh of Massachusetts, a democratic
supporter of the republican reserva
tons to the peace treaty, Senator
Harding said it was evident they had

SHEVLlN GARAGE MAN
HELD UP AND CAR TAKEN

Charles Mcdonald, proprietor OF
garage at Shevlin, was held up by
lone bandit on Saturday night and
forced to give up the automobile In
which he was driving. In the even
ing about o'clock stranger entered
McDonald's garage and asked that he
take him out to the place where he
had left his car that he might assist
him in repairing it. Mcdonald and
the man then drove three and half
miles in the direction in which the
man said he had left his car. About
this time, the man stuck revolver
under McDonald's nose, demanded his
money, and ordered him to stop and
get out, telling him to start walking
toward Shevlin and not to turn to
look back. The man then took the
car and drove a half mile beyond
Bagley where he abandoned 1t in the
center of the road, presumably CATCH
ing a train. Mcdonald had no money
on his person at the time of the
hold up.
