Baby Not Walking

A worried mother writes.
Ny baby is sixteen months old and
does not walk as yet. She Creeps
and stands good deal but she does
not go for herself, as she holds on to
something and walks from one chair
to another. She does this for the
last three months. Don't you think
it is time she learned to walk?
She has fine rash on her face
which is hardly noticeable, yet l
would like to do something for it. I
think it is her blood. She has such
nice, red cheeks, what could 1 give
her for this rash? When 1 give her
bath she always scratches. Do you
think her blood is too thick? Hoping
you will answer soon.
Answer
Try letting the baby scoot around
in a, kiddie Lar or some contrivance
on which she is compelled to use
her feet and legs and thus develop
them, and confidence at the same
! time. This has worked with one baby
of whom I know personally.
1t is impossible to advise about
rashes. Make up Jour mind that the
| baby's blood is the same thickness
| as everybody e1se's, there is no such
| thing as thick" blood The diet is
evidently wrong and the slow walk
| ing and the rash probably all comes
| from this source. She should be hav-
| ing cereal, fruit, vegetables, r ddled
| eggs and four cups of milk daily. Is

that herald is trumpeted.
The inference is that you are =
woman of far more than ordinary
intelligence because you had sense
enongh not to get married. You
are sure to understand"
Or perhaps you have been mar
ried, therefore you are sure to "un-
derstand" all the more.
This, trick reasoning leads on
with the soup course, which corre-
lates with the shortcomings OF Wife

successors and you walt resignedly.

unfaithfulness of a woman you new

trouble is with her diet, am sure.
The face should be sporged with
starch water and no soap used on ii
until the rash is thoroughly healed.
Use some soothing ointment contain

What to Add to Diet of Six Months
Baby
Mrs. J. r.:
Your baby is doing wonderfully,
so continue the breast for three
months more, adding one-haif cup
of vegetable soup at the 2 o'clock
feeding and one to two tablespoons
of well cooked cereal with the 10
o'clock and o'clock nursing. Giving
orange juice once a day between
meals. This ought to keep her satis-
fed until weaving time.

The ability to dress well? It's an

of success may be attained. But so
