Mans Influence in the Home
They are still wrought up about
it over in England. At least n Of
the biggest London journals devotes
nearly a column to a mans medita-
tions on the subject, Women Who
Take Up Public Work.
This generous-minded husband ex-
udes a lot of twaddle, which is all
the more amazing when one consid-
ers the marvellous public work" his
own fellow-countrywomen did in the
war.
'Tf my wife suddenly took it into
her head to take up some pubic
work, should l encourage her?' one
Martin Bale arises to inquire.
"Or should l say: My dear, l
would much rather you saw hat the
holes in my socks were nde ana
that 1 had an extra good dinner, ana
that-and so on?"
He then drags out all the old
time-worn arguments, wen bringing
in the h~and-rocked cradle, reminis-
cent of the dear late Queen.
Now. If it were a question of hus-
bands going into public work, the
case might be different. When a
man goes in for politics, he is so
likely to rob himself of just those
qualities which a woman so admlres
and looks for in a man-modesty
and silence.
Harking back to the "hand that
rocks the Grade" which Mr.. Bale so
sentimentally exhumes, he does not
say what he obviously implies-that
is. 1.-THE hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world"-only when there's

YOUR BABY AND MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Mrs. w. S. G.
My baby will be nine months old
the fourth of this month and | am
thinking of weaving him. from the
breast. Do you think he is too
young, and if not could / give him
whole milk
He SENS to be, strong and he
pulls himself up to chairs and also
has two teeth. l do not know his
correct weight.
answer
Nine months is the right time TO
begin to wean the baby, though 1t
is proper to have given him some
other food beside breast milk from
the seventh month on.
At no matter what age you start
to give cows milk 1t should be dllu-
ted. If the baby is nearly a year u
it is all right to increase the milk
proportion a little faster than one
could do with a younger baby, but
after all, milk is a strange food and
all strange foods, no matter what
the age Of the baby, should be given
in small quantities at first, or ,
the case Of milk, in small proper
tons.
