The Owl

What happened, so long ago
The very trees have forgotten.
In darkness, in loneliness.
Searching like some old man
Among old manuscripts.
Something you wish to know
Eludes you, and you ask
A question no one answers, for none
can.
II it were not for you and your long
cry
I might forget
How. very old the world is, and how
long
Song after Song
Has gone like silver arrow toward
the light
Tinted with rose and purple at the
~. breaking
or the day and night.

Have you ever thought, my friend,
AS daily you toll and plod
In the noisy paths of men,
How still are the ways Of God?
Have you. ever paused in the din
OF traffic's insistent cry
To think of the calm in the cloud,
OF the peace in your glimpse of tn,
sky?
Go out in the growing fields
That quantity yield you meat,
And let them rebuke your noise
Whose patience Is still and sweet.
They toll their aeons-and we
who flutter back to- their breast,
A handful of camorous clay.
Forget their silence is best:

YOUR BABY AND NINE
81 MYH1LE MEYER ELDRED
Normal Children


There - no greater JOY for q
mother than to know that her child
IS normal IN every particular. Hsr
Joy 10 increased when her baby u
better than the average. that un-
deniable pride in the fact that he
walked when he was Il months ODD
when her neighbor's baby was stl
only abs to creep, when ne eN-
hibtfed teeth at 4 months when
her ssster-in-law's baby had none
at Z months. In such small thinss
do we find content.
Just what Is normal and what Is
so abnormal "a to leave room for
worry? The average baby may
have n tooth al 5 months and
SIX teeth by the time he is / year
old. Most babies who have no SET
BACKS n have a good nOurishlng
FOOD supply do have teeth at this
age. But the baby can be normal
without having six teeth at one
year. but HE SHOULD HAVE ONE,
at least. II he hasn't the mother
may quite safely conclude that his
diet does not contain the right ele-
ments to make teeth and not that
he isn't teethtng because his fah.r
didn't. Perhaps the same thing
that kept hiR father from having
teeth at a normal time ia acting on
the baby. Habits of feeding the
baby as grandma did. for instance.
Some mothers have asked me Il
giving lime water and lime tablets
would help to stimulate teeth. IT
- a generally accepted fact that
lime in this form does not act as
does the lime in milk. vegetables
and fruits. This latter Organic
form Of lime. that found in growing
foods is the kind which the baby
should have to supply his calcium
needs.
There is a vast difference in the
time limits within which baby's
walk. A thin. active baby may be
crawling around and walking at q
