YOUR BABY AND MINE
For the -Four Months Baby
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDREl

For the -Four Months Baby
Mrs. II. r. writes:
Won't you please print in your de-
partment q. formula for four
months baby? Since three months
he has been on a tottle a d is now
taking every three hours formula
consisting Of ounces Of milk, "a
water. one tablespoon lime water and
one teaspoon sugar. He does not
gain or lose on this but stays the
same weight.
If the baby has been stationary for
one month it is us' ally high time to
make some change in the diet. The
most important thing you forgot to
tell me and that is the weight of the
child. On his weight depends the
amount of nourishment he needs per
day. The formula you are using
seems too strong.
Personally don't like the idea OF
formulas mixed for each bottle. The
whole days rations should be pre-
pared at one time End divided into
the number of bottles used during
the day. In this. way you measure
more accurately, have a clean bottle
for each feeding, instead Of one that
may have been used FOR the previous

Grapefruit
By BERTHA e. SHAPLEIGH
OF Columbia University

To drink orange juice, or eat halt
a grapefruit is almost a habit with
many people today. The baby must
have orange juice, and the tired
business man drinks 1t at soda foun-
tains. All because it helps to cleanse
the system, regulates the bowels,
contains the needed vitamines, and
tastes good.
Grapefruit has not been used by
the people OF this county for SO
many years. Twenty-Five years ago
only occasionally was it found II
the markets of the east and north,
and it was called Shaddock. In the
West Indies and far south the name
Shaddock was used in the early part
of the eighteenth century. Captain
Shaddock brought the fruit to Am
erica.
Grapefruit contains quinine. and
Is a tonic.
Both oranges and grapefruit are
perhaps best eaten with sugar or
salt, as ones taste dictates, but
there are also many pleasing ways
of serving which offer a variety. Let
us consider these various uses IN a
menu. For breakfast, cut the frult
in halves, and with a sharp knife
loosen the pulp around the skin. Re-
move the pulp in center, and the
seeds.
Serve with sugar or honey in the
center, or plain, leaving the addi-
tions to the taste or the eater. Or
anSe Juice served very cold IN 4
small thin glass is quite sufhclent
to start the breakfast In the right
way.
For luncheon, serve the fruit, cut
in halves, garnish with cherries or
with grapes. or with spoonful OF
loganberry juice IN the center. Or
remove the sections OF fruit, leaving
no skin on them. and place in pretty
glasses. Sprinkle with sugar, ano
il possible fresh mint leaves.
There is no better salad than one
made with whole sections OF grape
fruit or orange on crisp lettuce OF
watercress. with this the best
dressing is one made OF oil, grape'
fruit juice. salt, paprika and little
sugar. OF course, the. fruit may be
combined with other fruits and
served with mayonnaise.

, year and leaving it thus exposed to
the freezing and thawing of the win
ter months, as the alternate freezing
and thawing breaks up the bumps
and soil particles.
Another method, and one which
can be used on extremely heavy clay
soils, is to apply two or three inches
Of coal ashes from which all the
clinkers and coarser materials have
been sifted, and mixing this with the
soil to depth Of six or seven
inches.
An application OF lime at the rate
Of SO to so pounds on space 20xS0
feet in size will also help to loosen
the soil. This should be done in the
spring while the land is being fitted
for planting.
manure is by far the most import
ant :tor in improving or reclaim
ing soils of this character. 4 large
two.lorse wagon load applied to the
soil of the ordinary backyard will
not be any too much, and this may
be pu: on at any time during the fall
or spring, but should be we'll mixed
with the soil itself.
AS time goes on ana crops are
grown upon the backyard soil. the
roots OF these crops and organic
matter and then from time to time
weeds can be chopped fine and
worked into the soil to add organic
| matter.
It is also good plan 10 SOW rye,
barley. or some similar crop on the
garden during the late summer and
allow it to remain as a cover crop
+, all winter, spading under the crop
early in the spring for the purpose
OF improving the soil.

culture

| Extension HOft1cultur1st, United
States Department of Agri-
| culture
The important factors in the re-
claiming OF an apparently hopeless
backyard soil for garden purposes
are, first, drainage; second, the ad-
dition Of something to tighten heavy
clay soils, and third, the addition of
manure.
! If all of these can be administered
at the beginning, there should be no
difficulty in growing fairly good
crops the first season, but persons
having a difficult problem in the
reclamation of the soil of their back
yart and other similar land on
which gardens are to be grown,
should not expect too much the first
lseaso-.. but make a definite plan
covering period of years.
| The reclamation of backyard soils
which are cold and wet and in need
of drainage sometimes is not an easy
matter, but calls for a well defined
program OF improvement.
| 1t nay be difficult to find a
netl ID for getting rid Of the water
that to be drained out of the soil.
1t often happens, however. that a
connection can be made to the sewer
that takes care OF the water from the
roof OF the dwelling.
| This connection is often in the
for.A of a surface or sink drain ir
the backyard near the kitchen door
In Sc there Is such an opening
lines of ordinary open-joint tiles may
be laid at intervals OF every seven o
eight feet and at a depth of Is to Sc
inches with q decided fall toward ths
point where they connect to the
main drain and these will draw the
surplus water from the soil, getting
rid of it in the sewer.
| Another method of securing drain
age. one that may be used where II
| is impossible to secure an outlet for
tile drains, is to throw the soil up in
bes~ leaving drainage burrows be-
tween the beds, these burrows empty
ing into a ditch IT one end OF the
garden and the water being carried
to some lower level.
| The mere raising OF the soil IN
! beds, even though there be no d.
rect outlet for the intervening shall
low bitches, will be Of considerable
help.

backward soils will be to get the soil
in better mechanical condition.

The Butter Intelligence Test


at always judge a woman's char
acter by the way she buys butter.
"A quarter of a pound at a time
she's a happy go lucky person who
cares little about tending the hearth
fires.
"a half pound means a club won-
an or one who dabbles in the uplift.
"a whole pound indicates rather
more devotion to the home, while
two pounds at time-she's hope
lessly domestic!"
One Of the stages great lovers-at
least he has played little else than
great lovers roles for two decades
propounds the 'butter" test of intel
ligence for women.
1t wins him laugh, too-from the
men.
The lines, like the w.lol> play, in
which the hero constantly resists the
amorous advances Of beautiful wom-
en-, have sort of rhinestone glitter,
Women who resent the imputation
needn't take the matter to heart
seriously, however. The poor dears
love to say smart alecky things about
women, both fore and aft of the
footlights. AS a topic of converse
ton we've been exhibit A ever since
Adam explained eiaborately to his
Creator VIII, girls leave home.
Sex solidarity may be a very /. res
ent help to men in time Of trouble
but the game IL new to women. Some
have learned that the voice with a

work among the sisterhood is still

So when the dominant male gets
rampant over the disappearance OF
his one and only collar button. or his
failure to remember when he drank
that last bottle OF homemade elder
berry wine, it ia better to handle the
situation alone.
The woman who lives next door
may be a marvel at concocting Lady
Baltimore pie, but as a Christening
influence on ones own favorite hus-
band, it is advisable to keep ones
own counsel.
She may buy her butter on a diff

Mining Is Not Interstate Commerce,
 Says High Court

Washington, May II.-In upholding the occupation tax laid by Minnesota on the valuation of iron ore mined in that state, the supreme court re- jected the mine owners claim that this tax is an interference with inter state commerce.
 Mining is not interstate com merce, but, like manufacturing, is a local business subject to local regula- ton and taxation," said the court.
 This decision is in line with previ- ous rulings by the court that there is a difference between production and transportation, and even though an article is intended for interstate com merce, 1t is not commerce until 1t is actually placed on the railroad car.
 This decision will be of interest to organized leather. workers and the trade union movement generally as the leather workers have a case pend ing before the supreme court which involves this point.
 The leather workers struck in St. Louis. The employers secured an in junction on the ground that their con tracts could not be fulfilled and that this constituted an interference with interstate commerce.

Washington, May 11.-"Comp1ete unlonlzation of the coal fields of the country would go long way toward af- fording a solution of the coal problem. because 1t would mean the universal adoption of the principle of collective bargaining"
 The above is one of the statements in States Coal Commission by the United Mine Workers of America
 The communication embodies specific suggestions by Philip Murray, inter national vice president, and William Green, international secretary-treasurer
 MT. Murray suggests:
 Il. The guarantee of freedom of speech freedom of assembly, freedom of movement.
 "2. The right of all workers to or ganize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing
 B. The protection of mine workers against discrimination because of membership in the United Mine Workers of America or any other labor organiza- tion
 A. The assurance that democratic institutions, such as the United Mine Workers of America, will not be sub ordinate to industrial control by the practice of the non-union coal operators
 
 and constables, or by employing private guards, instead of using the services of disinterested and conscientious peace officers.
 These are the simple fundamentals which will restore and permanently establish the normal conditions of a self-governing republic in these regions They are so elementary and so obvious that their absence at present seems in creditable. Assertions by the United States Coal Commission that they should become effective would commend itself everywhere to the sound and right think ing citizenship of our country"
 Vice President Green declares that col lective bargaining and union recognition go hand in hand.
 "In fact" he says, there can be no recognition of the principle of collective bargaining without a corresponding recognition of the right of the workers to organize into trade unions
 Collective bargaining is meaning less term, void of any virtue and of no consequence whatever when the workers are denied the right to organize and union recognition IS not accorded them.
 "To deny workers the right to or
