IN A DOCTORS OFFICE

For a study in facial expression visit a doctors office, as
unfortunately most of us have to occasionally.
Pain, patience, sorrow, curiosity, sy~mpathy-how it is
written on the faces of the patients as they sit in the office
waiting their turn.
The sickening, %throbbing pain in the hand of the injured
mechanic, can you not almost feel it as you watch his pain
worn face?
The resigned, placid, patient expression of the little bent,
worn, pathetic old lady nearly crippled with rheumatism.
How the sadness of old age is sweetened by it's patiencel
The depressed, despairing, sorrowful expression of the
young widow, as dressed in deep mourning she stares idly and
disinterestedly into space as she waits her turn.
The friendly curiosity on the faces of nearly all the pa
tients as ones glance fits from one to the other, as one is
forced to do in a doctors office.
But best of all the real human sympathy that radiates
right from the heart of one to another as with glances of pity
and compassion they show their sympathy for their fellow
sufferers.
This a cold, hard, selfish world. You won't think so if
you will study the facial expressions of the patients in a doc
tors waiting room. Gone touch of pity makes all the world
akin, y is never more true than there.

YOUR BABY AND NINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Milk
We are getting better educated
each day to the advantages OF milk
for infant feeding as against any
other food. If the rother cannot
nurse her baby, and has tried, the
next best choice is cows milk proper
ly diluted. 18th
There are some mistakes when
happen so frequently that n must
be constantly warning against them.
One is that it is no advantage TO a
child to be given rich, heavy-wltn-
cream COWS milk. You are no doing
him a favor, in fact you may make
it impossible for him to digest milk
at all because his digestion has peen
So deranged by the rich food. A
good grade cows milk, with about a
4 per cent cream will suit most chill
dren, far better than rich GuurEsey
or Jersey milks.
Also infants can 0t.en AXE COWS
milk after it is boiled, better thah
they can either ~pasteurized or raw

to supply the necessary vitamlns
which have been destroyed in the
boiling.
/ When first starting to give COWS
milk the baby can usually digest n
Iounce of milk for every pound of his
weight. The amount of boiled water
sshould be sufficient to bring up the
Eformula to the amount necessary for
&Aeeding. The sugar content for the
#ormula is computed at one-tenth OF
an ounce for every pound of weight
Thus: -.
A four months old baby
twelve pounds can take five and one
half ounces of a formula every three
hours. or six times a day, which Will
be thirty-three ounces in all. Twelve
ounces of this will be milk Ito start
With and twenty-one water, n
one ounce of some kind of sugar.
Every three or four days the milk
NAV be strengthened by adding an
ounce of milk and taking out one
ounce of water until the formula ar
rives at eighteen ounces of milk and
fifteen water, and one ounce sugar,
which will be the correct n for a
twelve pound baby of four months.

The main trouble is that a mother
is too anxious to e the baby LEAP
upward in weight; she is not content
to increase in this slow way-and in
consequence the baby has gas, foamy
stools, collie and whatnot and the
mother becomes worried. There are
mighty few babies who cannot digest
milk if it is given to them in small
amounts at first, SO that they have a
chance to get used to it gradually.

Well made bound buttonholes are
a real decoration to a dress, often
the only trimming in these days of
simple, smartly cut gowns. These
buttonholes are easy to make if care
is taken from the first step.
First mark the place for the but

thread. On the right side haste a
piece of material (the facing) over
the buttonhole mark. Place this
material right side down. A true

An easy way to make sure all the

is to draw lines representing the
buttonhole on a piece of paper and
basic this paper mark to the wrong
side of the buttonhole.
Stitch around the buttonhole on
the lines on the paper as shown in

through the center to within one

Perhaps the reason why you say you have no friends is
because you expect too much demonstration on the part of
friends. This is a busy world, you know, sister, and we are
all so occupied with our own affairs that we haven't time to
get out a brass band or beat on cymbals every time some one
we like comes around the corner. Nor do we fall on their
neeks, and kiss them, and tell them how much we love them,
