What S in a Name?
BY Mildred Marshall.
ALEXANDRA.

Alexandra is a famous name. 1t
is feminine version of the title OF
the illustrious conqueror, Alexander
the Great. II was popular in all
the countries through which the
peerless Alexander swept, and for
years after his triumphant passage,
all male children were called after
his name. Alexandros was a IA
vorite name in Greece. The Mac
cabean Jews used it. and a martyred
pope made it a revered name IN
Italy.
The feminine was brought to
Scotland by Margaret AetheIing,
who learned it at the Hungarian
court where she was born and
reared. AleNa, Alexandra and Alex
andrina are several of its forms
AleNia is often found as a woman's
name in old records and accounts of
the Middle Ages.
Alexandra Is widely popular in
Germany and Russia as well as in
the other continental nations. II
has seldom had much. vogue in
England, except as a feminine given
to perpctuate the masculine AleXan-
der where there have not been sons
to carry on the title. But curiously
enough it is favorite in this
country.

HEALTHY BABIES FOR UNCLE SAM
Right Kind of Food Necessary Safeguard Baby During Peous
3, First Year
Infant Diseases Result
Chiefly From Milk and
Improper Feeding.
by JULIA LATHROP,
rhIcf. U. $. ChiIdren,s Rure.u.

thicf, U. =. thhdrcHs bureau.
The mother who brings her baby
healthy and strong into his second
year is giving him a start toward
health and happiness that is worth
more to him than a large bank ac-
count. To safeguard him during the
perilous first year. and especially
during the first four weeks which
so many babies fail to weather the
right kind of food is necessary.
Nothing is moro important than
this.
The right food for babies is
mothers milk. 1t contains what the
baby needs for strength and health.
No artificial food is so well suited
to him or so free from impurities.
Figures show that among babies
who are brcast-fed for at least the
first six months of life. there are
fewer deaths in infancy than among
bottle-fed babies Diseases of the
stomach and bowels which play
havoc with babies, especially dur
ing the summer months. are re-
sponsible for the deaths of One-fifth
of all the children who die before
their second birthday. And these
diseases are the result chiefly of
impure milk and improper feeding
Cure of Mother.
The mothers ability to nurse her
baby depends largely upon tn" care
she gives herself before and immc-
diately after he is born. Good food
and care during pregnancy. skilled
attendance at confinement and rest
and adequate care Immediately after
confinement are the first prere-
quiSites to making breast-fCeding
possible. Ample, nOurishinE food
sufficient sleep, exercise, and fresh
air, are all essential to maintaining
an adequate supply Of milk for the
baby until he is nine months old
when the gradual process Of wean-
ing should be started.
Sometimes mothers milk seems
not to agree with the haby. often
this is because of irregular Gc"ding
No baby should be fed just because
he seems hungry or because he
cries, or because 1t happens to be
convenient to the mother to feed
him. n" should receive his meals
at regular intervals. usually three
or four hours apart. If baby does

The Head Nurse
SdyS:
THE MIND DISEASED.

And now along comes Il French
scientist and declares that the
mind is not in the head. When
nerves are a-tingIe we are inclined
to agree with him and admit the
mind to be even in the skin. The
nervous system is 50 closely allied
to the mind that when it goes awry
it resembles very closely a mental
aTHctton.
And the ag"-old query. who can
minister {" mind diseased" is
being answered by the psychiatric
social worker. She came into being
as Al result Of the war. When the
nerve specialists tried to handle
thos" cases which for want Of a
better name were called shell
shock. they found they must have
help.
The Survey. speaking OF this new
worker says: 1T is obviously A
great social waste to give a man a
long and expensive cure and then
turn him back into conditions that
W i'll speedily undo 1t. among people
who do not understand him or how
to treat him so as to give him the
best pOssibI" chance to come back
Nervous patients who often look de-
Ccptjvely well and are 50 treated as
if they were completely recovered,
are particularly likely to suffer a
relapse when they Try to take up
the spOnsibilities Of ordinary Iiv-
ing
There are in this country only
about 80 psychiatric social work.

1t is obvious then. that in schools

Service-SpecinI Cable DispntchJ

London, Sept. 6.-RecentIy the
suburban railway companies OF
London have been carrying on a
! regular campaign against cheating
genial city magistrate. Sir John
Knill, who pr"sides at the Mansion
House. has raised storm Of pro-
test by declaring that women are
more prone to cheat than men. He
based his statement on the fact
that the majority Of the cheating
passengers brought before him are
women. which at least proved that
more women than men get caught.
The first effect of this bold dec
laratiOn was that Sir John himself
got caught, in a perfect hurricane.
The storm broke when Sir John
reached home and. judging from
the number of letters he has re-
Ceived. promises to last for many
days to come.
His Wife Hit First.
My wife" said Sir John. nearly
bit my head off when she heard

We are all Of Us tarred with the
same stick. and many possess elias

There has been a great increase
in the number of women who have
/ been brought up before me for
cheating the railway companies re-
Gently. ! can only attribute this
increase to the larger number of
women who use the railways today.
Il do not say that they set out
with the intention Of cheating the
railway companies. but the ease
with which this may be done has
an irresistible appeal, and they

Sir John knilrs statement is
