NEW YORK BOND LIST
FIRM At STEADY PRICES

NEW YORK. November s.-The
bond market was very little affected
by the weakness in stocks. Where
there is normally a close association
between the movement in bonds and
that in the corresponding shares. as
in the railway convertibles. prices
were somewhat lower as rule. This
was true, for instance. of the South
ern Pacific convertible 5s. which
broke sharply when Southern. Pacihc
stock was breaking and later rallied
with the rally in the latter.
On the other hand. the Chesapeake
convertibles were not Influenced by
the heaviness in the railway section
of the stock market. The hs at rs
and the SIS at 88A were substantially
at the same prices as those at which
they left off yesterday.
Investment rails scarcely budged at
all in face of the heavy selling in the
share list Two typical instances
were the Kansas City Southern 5s at
IS and the Rock Island refunding As
at 6S14. Both of these issues have
had recently quite a bit Of an advance.
and the prices named represented
within half point of the best that
they have reached.
The new Westinghouse 7s rose on
the day. At 80. they were within a
naif point of the highest reached on
the day when they were brought out
with such astonishing success.
Government bonds were quiet and
steady. with the French Ss at 102 and
lOl 70. the city of Bern So at 80. and
United States liberties likewise hold

BOTTLE FEEDING


In taking up the question OF bottl,
feeding of babies, we have to dea
with a subject which has many as
poets. 1t will be impossible to gC
into a great deal of detail in a series
of articles like this, but we will en-
deavor to give the mothers some prac-
I teal points which must be observed il
[ the baby is to do well.
OF course, no baby should ever be
taken of the breast and put on the
bottle without first consulting a
( physician, preferably one trained in
infant feeding
The first consideration will be the
milk supply. There are all kinds Of
milk and all kinds of milk producers.
Naturally. some are better than
others. You should carefully investi-
gate the various dairies and pick out
the one that produces the purest,
cleanest milk. Grade A milk should
always be used. Never use any poor
er quality, and above all never use
milk bought in bulk Pasteurized milk
is best If this is available This is
no place to discuss in detail the milk
problem, so we will merely say, Get
the best that is obtainable" The in
creased chances for your baby's good
health Will repay you many times
over.
Ii you are not satisfied that your
milk supply is absolutely free from
all contamination, it is comparative
~ easy for you to pasteurize it your
self az home. This will be taken up
later on.
Naturally, cows milk is made up
differently from human milk. There
fore, 1t is necessary to change the
cows milk to make it more nearly
like human milk For example. there
is more sugar in human milk There
fore, il is necessary to add some to
the cows milk. The other constitu-
EMS are different. also. so it becomes
necessary TO make up what is known
as formula for the baby's food
These formulas are usually made up
from whole milk. that is. milk just as
il comes from the COW (not SKINNED
mllk-nor milk with any cream add
ed. To this whole" milk, water and
sugar are added. The proportion of
these varies with the age and condi-
ton of the baby. For example, one
usually starts a baby OFF on one-third
milk and twO-thirds water. with some
added sugar The total amount var
les with the capacity of the babys
stomach. The new born child is not
able to take more than two and one
half ounces eight times in "a hours
The child Of three months will take
four ounces seven times in "a hours,
etc. This will all be explained by the
physician to whom you go
Bottles must be bought for the baby
Enough should be purchased so that
you can prepare the whole "a hours
supply at one time. This is for the
reason that it is most undesirable to
pour the feeding from one receptacle
into another after it has been pas
teurized Bottles should be Of such
shape that they are easily cleaned and
sterilized. The mouth must be larget
enough to admit a bottle brush easily
Nipples must be of a variety that will
stand turning, scrubbing and steril-
iZing.
You can get just the right formulate
for your baby according to his age and
size by applying to the Health Cen
ters Of the Reconstruction Commits
sion.
