YOUR BABY N MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
Over Feeding

1t seems true in so many cases
that come to my attention that
mothers never seem to have the
slightest idea when their children
r being overfed. They relate a
long series of symptoms and think,
merely because the baby cries many
times during the day and sucks its
thumb and "acts hungry" that he
should be fed every two hours or so.
In most of these cases the mothers
do not make any connection between
the fact that the baby usually sleeps
all night without being fed, and the
fact that perhaps this is occasioned
as much by the rest from food as
any other cause.
A baby may be persistently over
fed and still refuse to gain in weight.
though these children will usually
have gained enormously in weight
just before the time they stopped
gaining and remained stationary in
weight. An upward leap in weight
on any new food should warn the
mother a baby should not be expect
ed to gain. He can not take enough
food without running his digestion to
nourish him. But If he is comfort
able and is digesting his food, one
can be assured that everything is
all right. When the food is strength
ened slowly after he is accustomed
to it he will begin to show a steady

WHY DISCUSS THEM?

Do you know a family like this9 In the first place there
are a great many in the family. There are many married sis
tiers. Whenever this large family gets together their one
subject of conversation is-their ailments.
Sister Jane is sure of developing gohre. Sister Marie is
crippled with rheumatism. AS for Alice, the doctor has told
her she has high blood pressure and must be relieved of all
worry. Edith has never felt well since her last attack of flu,
and Beatrice-well, the strenuous life she is living is just
making a nervous wreck out of her.
They get together often so they must enjoy their re-
unions. But where does the pleasure come in in constantly
discussing symptoms. And why do so many people feel that
there is so much credit due them if their list of ailments is long
and serious.
We sympathize with the sick, of course, but is it a mark
of distinction, a sign of a thoroughbred an indication of any
superior ability to be constantly complaining and IN poor
health?
Should not rather credit be given to the person who be-
cause of good Judgment and good care of ones body and
mind succeeds in keeping in good health.
Furthermore do you not think the health of these com
planning sisters would really be better if they gave less thought
to their wretched miserable, condition? I most assuredly do.

progress.
Diverted babies very often have
copious bowel movements several
times a day. They Will be wet al
most constantly. They may act ir-
ritable and hungry when it is moth
ing more than discomfort due to IN
digestion. There may be vomiting
directly after eating, and sometime
as long as two or three hours after
ward; large, sou curds of milk, and
there may be curds in the stool.
Obviously the thing to do is to go
on a very low diet for a day or so,
and then begin with a much weaker
formula, or with an increased inter-
val between feelings.

Answer:
Depends on what you want in a husband. The stubborn
and ambitious man will probably make the most money. The
gentle one will let you boss him, and be pleased to get along
with. The old chum is a safe choice because you know all
about him, and what sort of a disposition you will have to
contend with in a husband if you marry him.
But If you do not know which of three men YOU prefer.
you are not in love enough to marry any of them, Better
wait until Mr.. Right comes along. DOROTHY DIX

Men need associatIon with other mon. and your husband
gets that in his business. Women need the society of other

want to deny you that. He does not see why you want to
gossip, and talk about clothes, and exchange recipes for
new sandwich filings. and tell each other the intimate wo-
man things that women talk about, and that no woman ever
tells to a man no matter how much she loves him, because
