YOUR BABY AND MINE
Breast Milk
BY mYRrLs MEYEB ELDRED

Breast Milk
As far as food Is concerned there
Ia Just one food for the baby-and
that il his own mothers milk. NO
matter how much trouble he may
have to digest it-and some babies
do have trouble-one may be sure
that he would have more trouble
with a substitute milk. That is
logical isn't it?-because If his di-
gestion finds difficulty in taking
care of a food which nature has
provided for him how much greater
difficulty will he have in getting
used to milk which was not made
TOR him. We try to make modified
milk as much like mothers milk as
possible and when we annot have
mothers milk the next best thing
must be used-but 1t does not give
the child all that it should have
because it was not intended for the
infant but for the salt.
Children who are nursed are al
most immune to disease. This is
a we'll known fact. The breast
milk provides the baby with sufi-
cient anti bodies so that germs are
harmless to him in almost every
Ease.
If the mothers milk does not
agree there is no reason why the
nother's diet cannot be altered, her

same as cows milk and it is as
amenable to treatment as any other
kind of food.
If there were as much time spent
on trying to get mothers milk to
agree with babies as there is on
trying out complicated and expen-
sive formula there would be few
mothers who could not nurse Their
babies. But there seems to be a
concerted opinion among mothers
that as soon as the baby cries and
acts dissatisfied that her only hope
is to wean it. Then-if she only

A Natural PoIygamist

A Natural Polygamist
A bored bachelor wants a wife. He
takes his typewriter In hand and
writes to the editor of the heart
throb column:
His specifications follow:
She must be a pianist. understand
polishing plates, ~manicuring floors,
the strategy of toeless socks, button
less shirts and ripped trousers. She
must be capable of, catering to the
caprtces of a cranky bachelor. She
must be a qualified nurse to attend
to masculine ills of upset stomach.
heavy head, irritated temper and
general male helplessness.
She must know the nutritive
value Of cornbeef and cabbage, char
lotte russo and how to make a mod
crate salary look like a million dol
lars"
The writer of this heartfelt appeal
sets the compensation at $275 a
month and IAN honest effort to be a
loving husband" then adds a post
script that Handsome women and
cigarette jugglers need not apply"
He doesn't want much, does he ?
Can't you just see the deluge of ap-
plications that mar is going to re-
ceive from the girls who qualify for
the job?
He offers no information about
himself except his salary and IAN
honest effort to be a loving hus-
band"
The masculine ego is a marvellous
thing. Any woman who can fill the
order which this chap put in de-
serves about the best there is availa-
BILE in the matrimonial market. An
artist, a nurse, a cook, an efficiency
expert, a valet-he wants all in one.
Man is a natural polygamist. Since
he is forbidden by law to have more
than one wife. he attempts to make
up for it by insisting that she possess
virtues enough for a dozen women.
