FOR ARTIFICIAL FEEDING OF IN
FANTS, GET SKILLED ADVICE

The mother who is so unfortunate
as to be unable to nurse her baby dur
ing the first nine months of it's life
has a problem upon which she must
bring all her intelligence to bear. She
cannot, of course, make cows milk
exactly like mothers milk, but she
must do her best to make it suit her
baby as well as possible. This she
should do with the advice of her doc
tor or the baby clinic.
1t is too big a problem to solve
alone, says DR.. Florence Powder
maker, nutrition specialist of the
State Agricultural College, who fur
Their adds that it is certainly too i'm
portant to let the well meaning but I'M
trained neighbors or relations solve
for you. Your baby deserves the best.
When the doctor or nurse gives the
formula follow it exactly. Do not
vary it wen a teaspoon. For the nor
NAL baby the mother is usually adj
vised to use cows milk which she
knows is clean and from healthy ami
mails. To this is added a form of
sugar, cane sugar, milk sugar or dex-
tro-meltose, and the whole diluted
with water, cereal water or lime
water. The proportion of each de-
Ponds on the age and condition of the
baby.
Patent, advertised baby foods and
condensed milk should be used only
when advised by the physician in a
particular case. They frequently
make a fat baby, but a fat baby is
not the same as a strong, muscular,
well-developed baby.
Because Mrs. Next Door ~neighbor's
baby did well on a certain formula
proves nothing about your baby. Two
babies are not like two pins, or ever
two dolls turned out by machines and
exactly alike. Each is very different
and should be treated as such.-Issued

put the hat down. She did NOT look
at it again, but blew out Tie light and
went to bed with her fece turned from
the guilty reminder. And ali aight
long Flora McCray dashed herself COR
the folly of the Girl in the Dark. AS
she. remembered it, she had made ali
the advances; he had only been kind
and good to her.
The next morning. all of Willow
Creek knew that John Howard had
taken Flora McCray 10 Robinson's the
night before, and thut he WAS going
to eat Sunday dinner with the Nc
Crays that afternoon. But the town,
as usual, was divided. One-hGlf
claimed that the McCrays had 20 nave
all of Towards money, or they would
fail; and the other half that John
Howard was going to marry Flora Nc
Cray to keep the old TAI from prose
cutting him for running off mortgaged
cattle and reporting them as dead.
And in the whole town no one could
have been so thoroughly surprised as
was Mr.. McCray, when his daughter
said to him, 'Father, if Mr.. Howard
says anything to you about me, you
will tell him-that-I cannot marry
him."
McCray and his daughter were walk
ing along the narrow, rough sidewalk
toward the church, when these words
were spoken. The mother had dropped
back, and was not in hearing distance.
McCray could not find voice for u few
explanatory "whys" and whats" be-
fore his daughter had said firmly, you
will be sure, won't you, father?' and
was waiting for her mother to catch
up with them. After the service, the
women, Flora and her mother among
them, hurried home to attend to the
feast of the day.
At the dinner table the young peo-
pie met for the first time hat day.
Flora McCray felt keenly, and with
a twinge of anguish, that the young
mans cordial suavity in greeting her
was only inspired by gratitude for her
generosity IN releasing him from any
obligation.
She met his eye, and thought she
read there a recollection of every
thing that had been. Then, as she
looked down and away, all the sweet
ness and ~unreality of the nights ride
was made real to her.
After dinner the men went into the
parlor, where they smoked and talked
alone, while the women put away the
best china, afraid to trust it to the
hired girl" Finally, young Howard
