YOUR BABY M MINE
Baby's Eating
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Mrs. c. A. B. writes:
My baby girl is 10 weeks old and
is very healthy. She has always
seemed to digest her milk we'll until
recently l noticed that after each
nursing she splits up a great deal. l
nurse her every three hours. l no.
tice too that she splits UP Immediate
ly after eating and then it takes
place again an hour or after
ward.
What would you suggest that I
do?
Answer
1t seems to me that your present
diet must have something to do with
the baby's condition since she got
along very well for tho first few
weeks. IT ma be now that you
have your strength back and are eat
ing more heartily your milk is too
rich for the baby and this causes the
splitting up. If she is gaining well
(and you forgot to mention that) 1
would increase the feeding hours to
only once in four hours. Or the
length of time that the baby eats can
be shortened and a small amount of
boiled water given before each
nursing. This will dilute the amount
of cream in the milk and make 1t
more digestible.
You must look to your own diet,
though, and cut down the amounts
or rich foods, butter, cream, fat
meats, etc.

NO O CUTS

You heard about the young man, didn't you, who de-
c1ded to take boxing lessons and after receiving rather severe
and strenuous treatment in the first lesson, inquired if he
couldn't take the others by correspondence.
OF course he both amused and disguised you, didn't he?
A coward, afraid of the hard knocks, wanting to find a short
cut to real accomplshment,csuch are the things you said
about him, and rightly so.
But did you ever think how many Of us are like that young
man. We are looking for the easy way to success. Magazines
and newspapers abound in advertisements like these, Earn
twenty-five to one hundred dollars a week i'll your spare time
time" 'Be a writer. Anyone can. Little work. Little
expense. Drawing made easy. Consult u.s." And we all
read them and some of us consult them. We find, of course,
that the Feasy way to success is all an illusion. 1t can't be
done without work, hard knocks, struggles and sacrifice.
SO if you have been laughing at the young fellow who
hoped to learn boxing by escaping the hard knocks, laugh
just as hard at yourself if you think you can win success in
life by a similar method.
People who try to hood wink us into believing such
things are unscrupulous and dishonest. Don't let them bluff
you. Don't waste your time by reading their advertisements.
Rather spend it in actual work for success can only be won by
working for it. There are no short cuts.

BROADCASTS
oh. we'll. Times Changc.
BY LORA KELLY

VII III ~
An artist whose ideal heads
have appeared on the covers of
many magazines for the last decade
or SO, claims some of the credit for
the changing taste in feminine
beauty. He says that, fifteen or
twenty years ago., the "Gibson girl
was the popular idea of what a
beautiful woman should be.
The Gibson girl was n tallish dam
sci with a ~turned-up nose, jet-black
hair and a straight-front corset.
She didn't smoke cigarettes, she
probably wouldn't even vote, and as
an early twentieth century vamp,
ting delayed at the seashore, too alb
sorbed to notice that the tide had
come in and the last bus to the city
had gone out. Or else she was la
menting her lovers departure. her
around her. She liked to play cards,
too, with a sleek-headed gentleman
about eleven feet tall trying to make
up his mind to propose.
We have the artists word for it
that such things now belong to the
ages. They r nc more, and in their
place has come the slim flapper with
short hair and long earbobs.
The perfect t~hirty-six has vanish
ed with the SHOWS of yesterday, he
says, says he, and nothing over ITO
pounds, ringside weight can qualify.
This is encouraging. Maybe in an
other ten or twenty years the artists
will be haunting the kindergartens
or the nurseries and modifying the
--I IL
models of womanly beauty"
The movies have already seized
upon the toddlers of ~pre-school age
for heroines of love stories.
Aren't we getting precocious?

STYLES FOR PLEATS

The very newest vagaries of
pleats are shown in these two frocks
fer fall.
One has a brand new kind of
apron tunic-three pleated hounces.
The other has a full-length pleated
front panel and wide loose-pleated
sleeves.
Besides being fashionable these
dresses are most practical, too since
the pleats have been cleverly placed
where there is least chance of their
coming quickly impressed.
One of the silk crepes in golden
brown or bottle green would be most
attractive for either model.

Answer:
Certainly, parents are under no obligation whatever to
support a grown daughter who is perfectly able to take
care of herself, Evidently you have done your full duty by
educating her and providing her with a profession by which
she can make her own living, and that is all that she has a
right to expect of you. 1t is now up to her to stand on her
own feet and. If she lives at home, to pay her fair share of
the upkeep of it. She has no right to expect you to go on
working to support her.
Just as there are selfish and greedy parents who are
willing to enslave their children and live on the work of little
hands, so there are grasping and grating children who try
to get everything possible out of their parents. The only
remedy in such cases is to refuse to be held up and robbed.
