Two Letters

A mother writes:
q want to pat my three months
old baby on the bottle, using Eagle
brand milk. How many ounces
should he take at one nursing? How
should it be mixed-how many
ounces milk and how many OF wa
ter? Should the whole days supply
be mixed at one time? ] would ap-
preciate it so much is you could tell
me all about the milk and mixing it
properly"
Answer
Is there any reason why you have
to use a canned milk? If there isn't
some reason the way to feed the
baby properly is to give good cows
milk properly diluted with boiled
water. Also must you wean the baby
so early? Have you tried to increase
the amount of your breast milk by
diet and drinking plenty Of milk
yourself: and have you tried compile
mentary feedings Of diluted cows
milk given to the baby AFTER each
nursing. I cannot conscientiously
advise you about this. The baby is
too young to he weaned unless there
is some good reason to do il. In that
case, a doctor who can watch the
baby day by day, and see the effect
of the feeding he is giving him is the
only one justified in advising you. A

Now that Coue has returned to
France after telling us how to cure
our bodily ills by means Of autosug-
gestion, along comes one Of his fair
countrywomen to explain how we
can make ourselves beautiful by the
same method.
The treatments apostle is Adri-
eune Lachamp, the dramatic dancer
already well known on the stages of
most European capitals and at many
theatres in Asia, but just making her
first visit to America.
Mademoiselle Lachamp'S own
boudeir is her beauty parlor.
Her beauty doctors are the poets,
artists. philosophers and sculptors
who have seen real beauty and left
a record of it.
Your Subconscious Mind
Nobody else can cultivate your
mind for you," she says. "It's sone-
thing you must do for yourself.
And just SO, you must bring out
your own beauty; it can't be done for
you by another.
But your subconscious mind is a
reservoir of power. Ytt might as
well draw on it.
"Ceue tells us that the subcon-
scious mind is most receptive to
suggestion when the conscious mind
is closed against the days clamor--
just before falling asleep or imme-
diately after awakening.
Tagore and the Bible
$50, no matter what creams or To-
tions you may have applied to your
face, don't consider that your nights
beauty stunt has been completed
until you have read some exquisite
piece of prose or poetry, that your
thoughts, just as you sink to sleep,
may be beautiful ones.
II find Tasore most helpfu1--and
the Bible.

EEIvery day, in every way, l become
hnore beautiful,' also will remind the
bubconscious mind OF its duty.
Copy What's Beautiful
"Then, IS often as possible, see
beautiful expressions of human char
hcter. as portrayed by painters and
kculptors.
"Try to copy the beautiful express
6ons you see in famous works of art,
and to assume the bodily poses of
grace, as represented in classical
statues.
"You must make a conscious effort
to do tlis--to bring into play the
facial and bodily muscles which
counteraot the natural inclination to
live hurriedly and carelessiy, ignor-
ing the beauty of reflection and calm.

skirting the Shoe Question

| Sk1rlng the Shoe Question
| EVERY inch added to the length of
| women's skirts reduces the sale of
shoes in the United States by ten
| million dollars"
Our memory goes back to a. shoe
| manufacturers convention wherein a
delegate arose and supported his ad-
vocacy of short skirts with a dollar
and-cents argument.
From another quarter came a
| Macedonian cry for help by the the
atrical producers who claimed that
the short skirt revelations would cut
down their profits. Feminine beauty
rampant ON the boulevard or the
avenue trespassed on the Folly
drummer's stock in trade. Why pay
good money plus-war-tax for a show
| that is free at the curb?
Regardless of all these finer etl1i-
cal points, we hasten to add that,
whatever the men designers of ladies'
coats, suits and other garments
choose to foist upon us, that we shall
wear.
They may tell us to adorn our left
ears with pink peacock feathers or
swathe our rlecks in Navajo blan-
ket-then watch the scramble for
the peacock feather counter or the
blanket section for bargains.
Many women, otherwise fntelli-
gent, bow slavishly to what THEY
are wearing" and go in for the ex-
tremes. 1t is the saleswoman' s
ellnching argument. Thus, If short
skirts are considered "good STYLE"
there are always those who believe
shorter ones are better, regardless of
anatomical facts.
Shoe business or no shoe business,
the windy corner observation squad
will agree that trailing skirts are
calamity. Health experts join in the
chorus for a different reason and
here's an avalanche of rolling pins
for the Male Crouch who says:
keep 'em short! The average
f1apper's legs are prettier than her
face, anyway"
