G OF LONG LIFE

Would you live long? Then interest yourself in other peo-
pie, says Chauncey M. Depew. And who is better fitted to
give such a word of advice than this keen witted and physical
~ active young man of eighty-six.
Who are the Inconsistencies and the nervous wrecks of
today? Nine times out of ten they are not to be found among
the idle rich, that class Of folks who are so absorbed in their
own interests, own future and own ailments that from a too
close perspective all their worries assume an enormous magni-
tude. Ii they would but broaden their interests, push back
their horizon line, widen their sympathies, occasionally
change their thoughts from self to others-how it would relieve
the tension of their taut, tense, self1absorbed minds and
bodies.
And selfabsorption, selfshness is crippling and destruc-
tive to one more ways than physically. Does a selfish person
ever know the joy of contentment2 Has a selfish person ever
a winning personality The charm of good temper and a
sympathetic nature are always lacking in the selfish person.
And tact never grows in the soil Of selfshness. Is not the soul
that reeks with self-pity the selfish soul? For who Of us, if
We but look, cannot find some one beside whose sorry plight
our unfortunate experience seems insignificant.
The pessimists in life, those who see only the hole in the
doughnut, see only the hole because they don't look FAR
enough. They concentrate their vision ON one spot which is
self.
Would you get from life utter disappointment which
ZONES from ~selfshness, or would you gather contentment,
peace and happiness along the long road of service and love.

l would like to wean him by the
time he is nine months old but some
people tell me TO nurse him through
the summer. How soon could he
take the milk without diluting?
answer
Wean him at nine months. The
diet he is getting now should rear
a circus giant. Mix should be given
diluted up to a year. The baby docs
not need SO much food now. Orange
juice, one bottle Of milk daily diluted
with vegetable juice instead of boiled
water would be sufficient. The for
mula you are using is far from ideal.
Send me a self-addressed, stamped
envelope and III gladly tell you how
to proceed.

My baby is twenty-oHe-montlfs old

Elizabeth Wells from charges grow

Yes" says a veteran trial law

The coroner says a child never

six months or older. Its nightclothes
and covering should be buttoned or
pinned securely under baby's chin
so that there can be no danger OF
baby getting down underneath the
covers during the night and smoth-

Women Aid Work
Of Clinic Here

The tuberculosis clinic has a new
home, and a new Il SIS and a tele-
phone all for herself. That isn't all,
either. The tuberculosis nurses have
adopted pretty new blue uniforms
and what pretty girl isn't prsttier in
a blue uniform? If you doubt us,
go up to the nurses home, enter the
double basement doors marked with
the double barred red cross and see
for yourself. Be sure to go either
Monday afternoon or Thursday
morning otherwise you will miss the
nurses and the Doctors.
1t all happened this way. The
old home of the clinic was in the
hospital at the Laurie street en-
trance. There was only one room
and it was SO small that the nurse,
the patient and the doctor hardly
had Don enough to turn around,
Patients who were waiting for the
doctor only had a very small space
and sometimes when the three doc
tors were present and there were
three patients to be examined at a
time it was very, very crowded. The
only telephone was in another Sec
ton of the hospital and much time
was wasted when a doctor had to
SUP III t4lS lAIl0SI Ol al eAdIllIIldLlDIl
and rush half a block to the tele-
phone. There wasn't much fnrni-
ture. There wasn't room for much.
Of course. the clinic work progress
ed, because all of the doctors, DIR.
Silk, DR.. Sirott End DIR. Klein were
enthusiastic but conditions were
against them.
The hospital superintendent, Mrs.
T ons noticed all this and when
the nurses home was finished, and
t white walls and shiny hard wood
floors were all quite perfect some of
the DON yer offered to the Tub
ereulo League for the Clinic. OF
course thew moved. In this new
home the clinic there is one large
examining room with two large
windows, a small wash-room and a
roomy-corridor where patients may
wait comfortably and talk without
| disturbing the doctor.
The new dress which really
means new furniture came from the
| Community House and was secured
| through the assistance Of Mrs. Ad-
| rian Lyon. Some of the old furni-
ture has been painted by the nurses
| so that 1T looks like new. New signs
are being made and a fern is coming
t brighten the window sill.
This is the Perth Amboy Clinic
| but. 1t is also used by folks in Fords,
| Woodbridge. South Amboy and South
| Riv-r. The tuberculosis League and
the City Hospital are very anxious
to have people come and see how
| fine everything is--the new home,
the new dress, the enthusiastic doc
| tors-and, oh, yes, the nurse in the
pretty uniform. The Clinic is open
| for examination OF natients, Monday

Thursday morning from ten to
twelve. And remember nurses
