Since the war" she said, I'VE have a

sedition comes from much poverty and
much discomfort, and now we are GO
ing hard into the industrial problem"
Miss Herring told of two examples
where girls who were natural lead
ers were trained in Y. w. &. A. work
and because of this could lead the
girls in their own little industrial
world along the right lines. She then
told of the conditions in Japan, China
and India among the industrial girls.

CHILD WELFARE WORK.

Miss Josephine Webster secretary of
the Vermont Chidren's Aid society. told
something of the place of child welfare
work Herbert Hoover says" she said.
THE test of a nation is how that nation
cares for its children. In primitive peo-
Piles orphaned children We're absorbed In
to families, but that cannot be done Of
ten times In more civilized families and
then, too. often the family that would
take a child could not care for it prop
erly.''
Miss Webster told HON the State
board of charities gave the cure for the
things her organization was trying to
prevent entirely. The Childrens Aid
society was formed" she said, ito find
suitable homes and to care for YER
mont's dependent children" We are rich
in opportunity and in ambition and in
privilege. We are State wide in our
scope and are a private organiZa-
ton, supported entirely by voluntary
contributions. Anyone who is interest
ed in children may join the association
by paying one dollar, though larger
contributions are very welcome. We
have one full-time worker and a corps
of volunteer workers.
our needs are many. We need. most
of all, moral support, we need volun-
teers, we need more money and we
need more members, We need to know
of good permanent homes for the chill
dren and we need to know of temporary
homes where they can be groomed and
loved so they will blossom into the
kind of children people will want to
adopt. We are able to pay a nominal
sum to families who could take chill
dren temporarily and care for them and
yet could not pay their expenses.
In a broader sense the war is not
over. The world is not yet a safe place
for children. and our idea is to make
Vermont safe for it's children"

CONSTIPATION

Consultation is one of the common
est ills of childhood and while II may
at times be one >of the easiest to over
come. there are cases in which It
Will be found most difficult TO cure.
1t is caused in practically every in
stance by some fault of the diet.
There are a great many other causes.
such as prolapse of the rectum, i'm
pacted feces and so forth, but these
are few compared to the number
arising from dietary causes. The
breast-fed baby normally has from
one to four stools day depending
upon the quality of the milk. The
milk of some mothers contain high
percentage of fat, which causes more
frequent stools. The movement
should not he difficult nor cause
straining, but should he soft and yell
low. If it is hard and formed the
baby is constipated.
The cause of this is the breast-fed
baby is usually to be found in the
mother. She may be cOnstipated or
may not take sufficient exercise. EX-
cessive tea drinking is often the
cause If none of these cOmmoner
causes are found, her milk should be
examined. 1t may be that it contains
too much proteid, or may be lack
ing in fat. In this case her diet must
be regulated. Medicines should be
avoided as much as possible. Small
doses of magnesia are very good. or
a teaspOonsful of olive oil, orangS
juice or prune juice.
Cows milk is more apt to produce
-. i
should be carefully made up so that
the percentage are as near that of
human milk as is possible. 1t con-
tains a higher percentage of sugar.
For this reason formulas are made
up which consist of diluted cows
milk with added sugar Oftentimes
lime water is added 10 increase the
alkalinity of the milk, and this may
cause constipation. In some cases
the form of sugar used. Oftentimes
cane sugar, may cause 'it, in which
event the sugar should be changed to
lactOse or deNtri-maltOSe. Boiled
cows milk often produces it. and this
can be averted by using clean raw
milk, or by using the mild laxative
above mentioned if boiled milk must
be used to assure safety The addi-
tiOn of cream to the formula may
sometimes cure the constipation.
However, none of these changes
should ever he made in the baby's
formula without the advice Of
physician who is well trained i'm in
fant feeding. No mother should ever
change her babies formulas in any
way without such advice.
In some cases where the conStipa-
tion is obstinate it may he found
necessary to employ more drastic
measures than those described above.
In these cases a small dose of castor
oil or extract Of cascara may he Civ
