Fruit Juices for the Baby.

the baby some fresh fruit juice, such
as orange every day if possible. be-

milk is generally poor in vitamins
If mothers are compelled TO give
their babies substitutes for breast
feeding or for pure fresh cows or
goats milk, the use of few spoon

of the daily diet will be found to
serve one good purpose which is OBJ

prevention of constipation. When
orange juice is given as early as the

of boiled. sterilized pasteurized or
canned milk, only five to ten drops

been boiled and cooled and the daily
quantity increased gradually week by

orange juice is given daily to the
baby at the age of two months, at

Other fruit juices which serve as
well as orange juice for this purpose
are peach, pineapple. pear, apicot and
apple, in every instance only fresh
fruit being used.
Ordinarily it is advisable to begin

Brown is especially becoming to
American women. To the European
visiting this country or observing
American women in Europe ii seems
as if there were great many women
of the type that can be classed neith-
er as blondes nor brunettes-women
with blue or gray or gray-brown
eyes, brown hair and fair skins
vivid looking women. though they do
not possess especially vivid coloring.
And to these women brown is almost
always becoming.
The French woman finds black
more becoming, and the aristrocratic
English woman can wear the grays
and beige tones better because she is
usually fairer. Even if her hair is
dark her skin is lighter and her eyes
are lighter.
The very dark brunette and the
very fair blonde seldom look well in
brown. nor does the woman with
sallow skin-no matter what her col
orine. We Americans may frequent
ly be pale. but far less often sallow
than women of continental Europe.
So whether the fashion of brown
