YOUR BABY AND MINE
An Overfed Baby
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED


Mrs. S. j. X. writes:
We are having such time getting
our baby started on artificial feed
ing. He is six weeks old and weighs
eight pounds, while he weighed near
ly seven at birth. We are giving
him dextri- maltese and cows milk,
at first sixteen ounces o f water,
twelve of cows milk and six table
spoons of dextri- maltese. That dld
not make him any better and SO we
changed to half water and half milk.
He vomits some after eating, taxing
four ounces every two and one-halI
hours, and sleeps very little during
the day. His stools are very foul at
times and also his urine is strong
and has a pinkish stain. lie acts
hungry most of the time. How long
should we continue one thing before
trying another?
answer
1t is strongly against my prlnel-

a tender age, but l can do him
nothing but good. since everything
you are doing is decidedly wrong.
lie is being fed too often, and too
much, and it is no wonder that ne
vomits, does not sleep, and has bad
stools and urine. He is being terri
bly, overfed. After all you know II
only takes so much milk to nourist
baby of any age and weight. and
when you give him so much more
you only tax his digestion so that ne

Were One in Misfortune

A certain gentleman in London
used to entertain a great deal. Every
Friday night, writes Mr.. G. B. Burgin
in his Memoirs of Clubman," he
would invite us to meet some celeb
rity at his house. Sometimes. how
ever, the gentleman would forget and
ask two social lions for the same ev-
ening; then something amusing
might happen.
One night a bronzed and bearded
solitary man. very much bored. was
sitting on a divan in the charming
Japanese room at the end of the
hosts suite. Another bronzed and
bearded man entered and sat down
close to him. For time they watch
ed the crowd in. silence through the
Japanese curtains.
Il say" one said to the other at
last, I've just come from Africa and
don't know a soul here"
Same with me-" the first replied
promptly and pulled a card out of his
pocket. I'm invited to meet a silly

The other man pulled similar
card out of his pocket. That's my
name" he said and grinned delight
eddy. I'm invited to meet a silly ass

I'm that silly ass. Come out with
me and have some supper"
And they went off arm in arm.

u. Dcuoh In Matchmaking

In the manufacture of watches
-four plays a rather important part
two barrels of flour a week being
not unusual in a factory turning out
1000 to 5000 watches weekly. Since
a baker uses about three pounds or
flour to five loaves of bread. 1t fol-
lows that for every watch the maker
uses the equivalent of almost a
third of o loaf. The flour is made
into dough and the dough is used TO
handle screws, rivets and other small
parts.
Each man in that part of the bust
ness has a lump of dough always at
hand; and when he wants to eX-
anime a screw he jabs the piece OF
dough on it. Then. turning it over.
he has a good chance to look at it
with his watchmaker's microscopic
eyeglass Many of the screws are too
minute to pick up easily with the
fingers, and many more. though
large enough to be picked up, would
be so covered by the fingers or the
forceps as to be almost hidden from
sight.

still more This will be the main
mix of the scrap and there will be
some other scraps for the prelims
and semi finals that will make the

Tom Page closed the deal with
young Fleurant last night when he
had a little talk-m-ov the long

Oldest FLAG

Our royal standard. in. which some
changes will possibly be made as
result of IreIand's new status, is not
so venerable as the Danish royal
standard-the oldest national flag in
existence. The white cross on a
red ground of the Danebrog is ira
ditionally traced to vision seen in
the sky by Danish king, Vlademar
the Victorious. when leading his
army against the Esthonians near
Reval in 1919. According to one
version Of the legend. the bloodred
flag fell from heaven into the Danish
ranks There is no doubt that about
the date of this battle it was adopted
as the Danish flag and that it had
the religious associations which
belonged to most national standards
in medieval times.-Montreal Family

Boards as Security for Loan

Though boards have of late be-
come somewhat more fashionable in
the United States. it is doubtful if
they ever again will be valued as
highly as they were in some Euro
pean countries. during the Middle
ages. In France, three hairs from
the kings beard were on special &C.
casions placed under the seal of a
royal charter as an extra guarantee
for the fulfillment of the promises
made in the document, and the
boards of far less exalted folk were
held in almost equal esteem. Thus,
when the Portuguese Admiral Juan
de Castro wished to borrow a thou
sand pistoles from the corporation
Ct Goa, the pledge of one of his whis-
kers was accepted as ample security
by the city.
