Waste OF PUBIC Money.

If letters of acknowledgment could
be abolished in government depart
ments, thousands Of dollars could be
saved. This is the conclusion Of one
who has seen the wheels go round
Everybody gets letter Of acknowl-
edgment.
If you transmit anything to a fed
eral bureau you get letter In reply
stating that it has been received.
If you write for job, you probably
won't get it-but you will get nice
letter Of acknowledgment. It win be-
typewriter as carefully as If destined
for the President himself.
1t will have a file number and all
the rest Of 1t. The wonder Is that mo-
body has set himself up as coli
lector Of government letters Of ac-
acknowledgement. He could undoubtedly
get thousands Of fine specimens In

CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS.

When the bowels are constipated. the
lower bowels or large intestines become
packed with refuse matter, that is made
up largely of germs. These germs enter
the vermiform appendix and set up in

as appendicitis. Take Chamberlain

from appendicitis.

TT ERE 10 considerable difference
among physicians in their use of
raw or heated milk in infant feed
ing for the babies who cannot be
breast fed. There have been many
epidemics Of typhoid fever. scarlet
fever. diphtheria and other Infectious
diseases traced to contaminated milk,
and more recent Investigations have
shown that large number of young
children suffering from tuberculosis
are infected through the milk supply
These Facts certainly give one valid
reason to advise first procuring for the
baby the cleansst milk possible and
bringing II to q boil for a short time
before using 1t for infant feeding. AS
far % We know. there is no nutritional
detriment in the use of boiled milk as
compared to fresh milk, except that
perhaps there il q little more tendency
to scurvy and ricketts,, but this is easily
avoided By early use of fruit juices.
Moreover, boiled milk IL probably q
little more disestible than raw milk
for the boiling prevents the formation
Of large curds in the stomach.

THE weight Of tKe baby at birth is
determined BY many factors which
are not well understood. Although the
average birth weight is about seven
pounds, many perfectly well-formed and
healthy babies may be born at term one
or two pounds lighter, and, Of course,
the 1O-pound baby is the mother .
boast. Small parents have small babies,
and, a. has been previously stated, the
proper diet and regime Of the mother
result in heavier and more vigorous
babies. In general, it may be said that
the smaller the baby, the more protec-
ton 1t requires, and the more nourish-
ment in proportion to it's weight.
Because Of the, great inequality in
weight Of healthy babies at birth, no
weights in the early weeks can be con-
sidered standard. The accepted rule il
THAT the baby's birth weight should
double atsix months and treble at one
year. There 10 nearly always a loss
of few ounces, perhaps pound, in
the first week or 10 days of life, which
loss is made up after this period, from
which time there should be continu-
GUS gain of from four to eight ounces
weekly throughout the first year.
Weighing The Baby.
THE failure to gain in any week, il
the baby in other respects seems
well, should cause no concern, but the
continuous failure to gain In weight
should be brought to the doctors at
tentfon. The habit Of weighing the
baby every day ia an interesting pas
time, but is fraught with good deal Of
unnecessary worry to the mother.
Height.
THERE 10, perhaps, less variation in
the height Of the newborn baby,
which usually averages from 20 to Fl
inches. The baby usually grows five
inches in ak months, three additional
inches In the first year and three to four
more inches In the second year. The
rate Of growth also depends upon the
diet and inheritance.
The comparative measurements Of the
circumference Of the head and chest
are important. At birth the circumfer-
ence Of the head II between IS and IA
inches, and that Of the chest about one
half an inch less. These two measure
ments continue approximately the same
through the hrst two years. When
there il q marked deviation from this
rule the doctsr1 attention should be
called to It.
Touch.
Sensibility to touch and to painful
impressions is present in early infancy,
but is dull ~ compared to later child
hood.
Sight.
A r birth baby can probably distin-
guish between light and darkness.
He recognises objects. at six or eight
weeks and can focus his attention on
objects usually at three months. At this
time tears are first she'd Many young
babies have slight sQuint due to the
inability to control the eye muscles.

are often blue. The color gradually
changes in the first few weeks to that
which is permanent.
Hearing.
THE newborn baby apparently does
not hear. In short time, however,
localize the sound for two or three
months.
smell.
THE sense of smell is the last of the
senses to be developed.
4 Activities.
ONE Of the first conscious acts Of the
young baby is to smile at or
weeks Of age. Voluntary muscular
movements develop in the fourth month,
at which time objects may be grasped,
and the head held up when the body is
supported. Many babies begin to creep
from 8 to 8 months and sit up alone
at the same period. He can stand with
assistance from 10 to IL months and
will walk from IL to 16 months. About
the same. time he will begin to say
few words and short sentences at
years.
1t must be remembered that there is
a great difference in the time in which
perfectly normal babies develop these
activities. Undue delay, however, is q
reason to consult the doctor.
Teething.
THE development Of teeth begins at
least six months before birth. A
nutritious diet for the prospective mother
is the best way to insure healthy teeth
for the baby. At birth each tiny tooth
Of both sets lies imbedded in the jaws
surrounded with a soft gum. As the
baby grows the teeth grow also, and
begin to cut through the gums usually
at about the seventh month of life.
Teething is normal process and
should not be accompanied by any dis
turbance. Unquestionably, however,
many children are irritated and un-
comfortable in cutting their teeth, and
II this is 30 the doctor should be con-
suited largely with the thought Of elimi-
mating any serious condition.
THERE are 20 of the so-called milk
teeth-fve in each half jaw. These
are cut in groups; first, the incisOrs,
then the second incisors at about year,
followed by the first molars, then by the
stomach or eye teeth at year and a
half to two years and lastly by the
second molar teeth at from two to two
and half years. This set of teeth is
replaced by. the permanent set beginning
about the sixth year.
There is great variation both in the
order and in the time in which the teeth
appear, and no mother need feel alarm
If her baby does not cut his teeth in the
usual order. Failure, however, to have
teeth at a year means some interference
in development. This may be due to
diet or disease and the doctor should be
consulted.
Some interesting family traits relating
to the teeth have been perpetuated for
many generations.

Additional FoodstufRs.

A FTER the baby's first year addi-
tional foodstuffs are necessary to its
growth and development. These are
starch foods, such as cereal; potato,
bread and rice;~fruit, green vegetables,
butter. eggs, meat, fish and fowl. The
diet for the child from IA months to
2 years would be about as follows:
Breakfast.
Cereal; milk from the cup; egg, soft
boiled, poached or scrambled in butter;
slice of bacon broiled crisp; bread,
stale white or graham bread dried In the
oven.
Dinner.
Vegetable soup, meat begun at about
IL months, teaspoonful and increased
slowly to tablespoonful three times a
week, roast beef, steak, lamb chop or
chicken chopped up fine; rice boiled two
hours In double boiler, potato or maca-
roni: green vegetables, such as spinach
or peas, string beans, stewed celery, as
paragus tips, squash, caulifower. All
thoroughly cooked and at first put
through colander. Dessert-Rice pud-
ding or tapioca, blanc mango, custard.
baked or stewed apples, prune pulp,
junket.
Supper.
Cereal as at breakfast or milk toast
made from stale bread: egg; In addi-
ton, II the child is hungry; stewed
fruit.
Lunch. r..
Between the long interval of dinner
and supper, or II the dinner is at 2
o'clock, between breakfast and dinner a
cup Of milk with stale bread or crackers
can be given, or If there is constipation,
prune pulp, baked or stewed apples and
graham crackers.
