MOLLY'S DISHES

When Molly slams the dishes round
And bangs the tins bad too,
know she's itchin' for scrap
Or workin' up stew"
And that it's no place thereahout
Fer me-so off I walk
Cause all them sounds are warnin's
true
When Molly's dishes talk.
Then other times she'll move about
As still as any mouse
There's not lick of dish or tin
Within our little house.
Then I know Molly's dreamin' out
Some plan of deep design
Fer Mollys dishes never speak
When Molly's ION the pine"
Then other days Chem like best)
She works along with ease
She's humminlittle tunes-and things
As happy as you please
The dishes whisper in the pan
There's ne'er hitch or balk
I'm glad (on days like this) to know
That Molly's dishes talk:

place OF mothers milk. Breast-ted
nabies are more robust than bottle-fed
babies; moreover, they are less likely
TO contract infections diseases or 70
suffer from digestive disorders. Inc
number of botrIe-fed babies VINO die
every year is three times as great as
the number OF breast-ted babes, ana
so every year many little lives are iosE
needlessly, often because the mother
wishes to avoid trouble.
Special conditions. OF course, may
make if undesirable for mother to
nurse her baby, but only a physician
is competent to judge OF TINS, ana the
mother should not take the advice OF
friends or relatives on so important
subject. Where artificial feeding
must be used, it should be adapted to
the Individual child and IN conse-
uuence it must be prescribed oy the
doctor. Patent food should be Gsed
onlv upon the advice of the physlcle 4.
The paby must be fed according I,
regular schedule. Little milk IS
secreted during the first two days al
fer birth, but he should be put TO the
breast as soon as he has had his iirst
hath. if the mother is sufficiently
rested. Always before and alter
nursing the mothers nipples should
he washed with water that has been
boiled. Nursing should be repeated
ar intervals of six hours during the
first two days. During the tlrst three
months the baby should be fed Z times
in "a hours, the following hours beng
perhaps the most convenient: DAM,
| 8 AN. II NJ, 6 PM, 2A.M. During
the 18th. 9Th and 9th months he should
he fed 6 times during "a hours, the
feding at An, being omitted. The
7th Sth and 9th month the baby nould
have 5 musings in 2, hours at inter-
walls of four hours. He should never
be allowed to nurse more than ~ min
uteS at time, and it is better TO give
him only one breast at time, using
them alternately The baby should
be walked for any feeding except the
one at 2 AN.
The physical condition OF the nurs-
ing mother is very important. She
should have plenty of fresh air, eXer-
else and nourishing food, and she
should be protected from fatigue and
excitement. The food properties that
are necessary for both mother and
child can generally be supplied II the
mother drinks two glasses OF milk
dav in addition to her other diet.
She should never eat food that dlsa-
crees with her or take any drug cN-
cent with the advice of her physician.
Pure boiled water should be gwen
regularly even to young baby. lie
is often satisfied with a little warm
J water if he is fretful between the
hours of nursing. Water Enay DC
given from a spoon, cup or bottle. 1t
| IS desirable, however, that the baby
learn to drink from a cup before the
period of weaving begins.
Ordinarily a baby should be ted
from the breast until he is Z months
old, either exclusively or with the
exception after the second month OF
one bottle feeding in p hours. THIS
exception will do the baby no harm
and may be great relief TO his
mother. Partial feelings should con-
tinue. if possible, through the nlntn
month or later, but every baby should
be entirely weaned by the time he IS

For half a century there has been
no business house in Alexandria to
which the city owed more of it's com

throughout Northern Virginia as one
of the most reliable jewellery and
matchmaking concerns in the state.

change the food before the ninth
month, but this should not be done in
hot weather. A. regular gain IN
