 INFANT FEEDING IN DETAIL.
 Almost all breast fed infants give
 very little trouble, but it requires the
 greatest care to avoid trouble with
 bottle-fed infants. In those cases
 (much rarer than is generally con eidered) where infants have to be
 brought up on the bottle, infinite at
 tention to detail will bring the best
 results, After we have properly pre-
 pared and properly propordoned the
 food, and arranged for the quantity,
 we must consider other things. After
 each bottle feeding the infants mouth
 must be washed with boiled water or
 0orIc acid solution, There must be
 8 regular daily bath by which the
 skin is made to function properly. A
 n cd crate aTno nouJlt of crying should be encouraged rather than suppress d: for thus are the lungs developed.
 After feeding the infant should be aid down; 1t should not be picked up because it cries, although q chance of position often makes 1t cornf ble. Walking, batting, rocking ana bouncing an infant are undesirable
 procedures; they don't relieve padn and they tire the nervous system-the infants, the mothers and the neigh DOTS. Abundant sleep at regular hours should be encouraged; sleeping md feeding gre the infants main ,usiness in life. Let there be reason able free play for arms and legs. The everyday marvels of it's surroundinss tre sufficient stimuli flor the infants rain development.
 When we think of nourishment we 'eldon take into account its most 1na- portant element oxygen the very 3reath of fife, Tt Is the combination f oxygen with foodstuffs that makes | he body grow. We give the infant food at regular Intervals, but Of oXy- zen it must have a continuous "A hours a day meal, and that every day. This means the child must ever have | plenty of fresh air day and night. | The infant must be taken into the l ppen as early and as much as the 1 season allows In indictment weath CT | he infant should. at least once a I day, be dressed as for going outdoors | and all the windows of its nursery | thrown open,
 By attention to suah details as these l failure in infants feeding is often 1 Lurned into success.

experts in the United States Depart

help to keep the body in good health
and to prevent constipation.
Use fresh fruit whenever possible
and can the surplus. Apples, pears,
plums, peaches, cherries, oranges,
grapefruit, grapes, bananas, avocados,
berries-the list is very long. Some

them are always in season, and some

Use dried fruits, either home dried
