YOUR BABY AND MINE
The Baby's Enemy-Colic
By MYRTLE MEYER ELpRED

IL SANFT . -
The cid time baby always had the
collie. One expected II. One suffer-
ed It uncomplainingly for six weeks
and sometimes three months. oh
yes. my baby has the three months
collie the mothers were wont 70
explain patheticaily. Three months
collie was supposed 10 be some espe-
ciai kind that certain babies fell heir
to-as one would the measles.
We are far from being so pathetic
nowadays. One feels il a sort of
disgrace not to be able to cope with
colo. Plain indigestion is what It
is. Nothing more, nothing less.
When We have indigestion we know
hat it is due to something we have
eaten and we hasten to correct Il.
The same is true of the baby. His
diet is at fault, or else he is crying
from starvation and it is rank in
justice to allow him to suffer and
only say-"my poor baby has the
colic.'
If the baby is gaining right along
at the regular pace of four to six
ounces a week-one need
worry that he is crying from hun
ger. If he is gaining more than that,
| one can safely conclude that the
stomach aches which rack him are
due to too much food, just as we lie
down in distress after a Christmas
feast. Taken five or six times a day
this lavish feeding would cause US to
rend the air with shrieks.
If the baby is not gaining and
has a steady collie at n certain period
in the day make up your mind that
is caused by too little food at that
| particular time. II he regularly has
a spell every night, the last nursing
may have been insufficient. If he
hasiit at 4 or 5 in the afternoon the
3 O'Clock nursing may be poor and

lar hour and try giving 3. little adj
ditional food at this nursing. You'll
be surprised how often this routs the
stubborn collie.
When indigestion Is really the
cause, that is Indigestion from too
rich a milk or too much milk, not
only should this be remedied by few
er feeding periods and perhaps water
directly before feeding TO dilute the
breast milk-but some measures Of
relief are in order.
Hot water is the best and safest.
Hot water to drink and bring UP the
offending gas. Warm enemas 10
help expei it from the bowels. A not
water bag over the small stomach.
and warm wrappings to conserve the
heat. Babies with indigestion have
cold hands and feet due to the pain
and pressure of gas. Change the
baby's position so that he can help
to get rid of the gas. Don't leave
him lying on his back. Hold him M
and pat him over your knee.
A soda mint tablet dissolved IN
water and some given in . spoon
is safe and will help a lot.

HOME INFLUENCE
AGAINST
(By NEA service)

MUSKOGEE, Okla, April g.
Bring back the old-fashioned living
room table.
Bring back the front porch swing
and, if you want real, romantic joy
again, take out the one-horse shay.
Thus will the home return to its
former glory, asserts Mrs. V. Janet
Hickman, teacher and mother of
Helen Hickman, "Oklahoma's Won
der Girl" And. to assure the devel-
opment of character and fineness in
our youth, she adds, beware of fall
ing a victim to the automobile.
Mrs. Hickman has written arti-
cles and books on children and their
development. and from her studies
has concluded this age of automo-
biles and petting parties has been
ruinous to our youth.
Auto [ o Blame
1.-THE automobile, one of the great
est and most useful of III modern
inventions. yet highly destructive to
our youth. has robbed the home of
it's former charm and interest for
the child and, in many instances, for
the parents as WE'LL" she says.
1T has led them into places of
amusement unthought or unheard of
before, and divided the interests of
the family.
The passing of the living-room
table in so many of u modern
homes is the reason for so many de-
linquencies, in the boy and girl of
today. With its passing. the fineness
of our youth has suffered, their
character u~ndeveloped.
mo longer do we have the home
like picture of the father on one
side of the table, the mother on
the other, with their sons and
daughters grouped about reading
from constructive books of an even
ing, discussing, exchanging and
weighing thoughts and passing
judgment upon their values.
G~eneralship Needed
with parents no longer like gen.
erals, drilling and training their
young recruits. the home is losing
it's foundation for strength and fails
in the purpose for which it was in
tended.

FEDERAL COUNCIL Of CHURCHES OF CHRIST
PLANS DRY LAW ENFORCEMENT CONFERENCE
Washington Simultaneous With Governors Conference
Called by the President; Design of Conference is to
Rekndle Waning Zeal for Prohibition

Heading the list are the names of
William J. Bryan, former Governor
Milliken OF Maine, and Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes. The call was
issued "in recognition of the tremen-
dous propaganda which is being car
ried on to nullify the Eighteenth
Amendment and the Nolstead act and
to discredit the law" The Federal
Council of Churches says:
Realizing that inactivity and apathy
have resulted i'll an apparent growth
of liquor sentiment and in non-ob-
servance of the enforcement act, not
only by state officials and bootleggers
but also by men and women who are
law-abiding in every other way, the
leaders state that they have planned
the conference with the idea of 'recov-
ering the morale of the moral and
Christian forces upon the prohibition
issue" s.hF3t e..

With the approval of Commissioner
Haynes the Federal Council of
Churches is planning conference on
prohibition enforcement to be held in
Washington just prior to or simutane7
Gus with the conference of Governors
called by President Coolidge. 1t is
now expected that the President will
call the Governors conference about
the middle of October Immediately fol-
lowing the Governors own conference
in West Baden, Ind. The design in
issuing the call, the Council of
Churches says, is ito spur on those
who believe in prohibition but have
lost active interest" The call was
signed by 756 men and women, in
Guiding business men, college and uni
versity heads, clergymen, members OF
Congress, mayors, heads of religious
and leaders of women's
organizations. r 8

Blair, and that it was the latter who
shielded from the light of publicity
formulated rules governing enforce
ment agents, and appointed and dis
missed officers, and as result affairs
were managed in such manner as
largely to nullify the purposes of the
law and demoralize the efficiency of
Commissioner Haynes in enforcement
work.
That under Blair's rulings Phil
adelphia breweries were running at
full capacity, turning out high power
ed beer, supplying it to the local trade
and distributing it by truck and rail-
road throughout Pennsylvania and the
adjoining states.
That under rulings by Mr.. Blair
beer of any alcoholic strength could
be made and stored in brewery with
out fear Of molestation and that by
other rulings of his, enforcement
agents forbidden to interfere with the
manufacture of beer at its source, were
reduced to the necessity of stopping
beer in transit, taking samples and
then allowing the contraband to
proceed.
That Commissioner Blair employs
group of confidential agents desig-
mated as the intelligence unit. that
these agents had been employed in
such manner as to intimdate honest
officers and reassure crooks, thereby
impairing the morale of the force and
the efficiency OF Commissioner
Haynes.
THAT large quantities of liquors
captured from rum runners consisted
of domestic products withdrawn from
bond ostensibly for export and that
among the seizures had been consign-
ments of whisky of noted brand
(Overholt), an extensive stock Of
which is held by banking institution
with which Secretary Mellon is con-
nected.
That the Republican administration
not only had failed to enforce the law
but had practiced systematic deception
by creating an impression that supreme
authority rests with Commissioner
Haynes and that the failure is due to
defects in the law and in his applica-
ton OF it instead of to manipulation
in the internal revenue bureau"
The editorial called forth reply
from Mr.. Haynes who took exception
to some of the statements made but
admitted that under the law he is
practically an assistant to Mr.. Blair.

JEWISH EDITOR INSISTS
LAWS MUST BE OBEYED

The Jewish World is published at
Cleveland in the Yiddish language.
Some time ago Jewish rabbi in St.
Louis was arrested and prosecuted for
the illegal possession of liquor The
Jewish World used the incident as a
text for an editorial in which it urges
the Jews everywhere in America to
obey the prohibition law and declares
that "the law of our government is
the same as the word of God and is
to be obeyed." The editorial also
says:
mo matter in what part of the
world Jews live they respect and obey
the laws of the country and we must
do likewise here and respect the pro-
hibition law as law-abiding citizens"
