Baby's Milk.
During the early months Of in
fancy the baby's diet should consist
wholly of milk. Since there is no
perfect substitute for mothers milk,
mother should always try to nurse
her baby. The best known substi-
tute for mothers milk is cows milk
which contains practically all the
food elements necessary for growth.
Patent Foods:-There are many
patent foods offered for sale, but as
rule they are expensive and have
tendency to make fat babies rather
than strong babies. While they
may be used for a short time, no
baby should be fed on them exclu-
sively.
Condensed Mike o n d ed
milk is not the same as fresh milk,
and its continued use for a baby ~
likely to cause indigestion and a
disease known as ricketts,. It is
lacking in some of the food ele-
ments, and is therefore undesirable
as permanent food for children.
Condensed milk is not cheaper than
fresh cows milk although it may
appear to cost less.
Powdered Milk:-When fresh
cows milk may not be obtained, or
when it is necessary to travel with
the baby, powdered milk (whole
milk containing g. per cent of but
ter fat) may be used as substitute.
Fresh Milk:-Nature never in
tended milk to be handled. It pas
ses directly from the mother to the
mouth Of the young both in human
beings and animals. This is a wise
Ppercaution because milk is easily
spoiled, especially If small particles
OF dirt or dust get into it, and it is
a fertile field for the growth OF dis
ease producing germs.
Milk for babies should be obtain
ed from healthy cows. 1t should be
MIXED by a clean milk man into
clean sterilized pals. promptly cool
ed to about SO degrees F. and kept
at about this temperature until
ready for use. Never give a baby
old or stale milk.

National Commander John G. Emery
Of the American Legion has Issued the
following proclamation to all members

During the World War, the Amer
lean Red Cross, In accordance with its
Congressional charter, performed a
herculean task In behalf Of the soldiers
and sailors of the American forces,
and their families, Since the Armistice
1t has provided a very necessary serv-
Ice for veterans of the conflict, par
ticularly the disabled. assisting these
men to obtain the rights and benefits
provided by the government. During
recent months 1t has been especially
designated by Col. c. r. Forbes, direc-
tor of the Veterans Bureau, to cooper
ate with the Bureau and the American
Legion. in the "cleap up campaign de-
signed to discover every disabled ex-
service man entitled to governmental
compensation. medical attention or vo-
cational training.
Beginning on Armistice Day, No
vember IL. and continuing through
Thanksgiving Day, November "a, the
Red Cross. with which the American
Legion since Its organization has been
in close contact and cooperation in
matters affecting the welfare of veter-
ans. will hold its annual membership
Roll Call, 1t is peculiarly fitting and
desirable that In every community
where II IL possible the Post of the
American Legion should cooperate
with the Chapter Of the Red Cross In
seeing to It that the membership can.-
,aign Is successful In maintaining the
strength Of the Red Cross. The CON
inuance Of effective Red Cross serv-
&c to veterans, which already involves
IN annual expense several millions In
excess of receipts from the last Ron
Call. depends Ito no snail extent upon
nublic support OF the society expressed
in membership. Please make certain,
therefore, that the members of your
Post are all requested to cooperate so
far as Is In their power with the Red
Cross In Its task Of enrolling members
during the Roll Call period"
