YOUR BABY MI MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
Food Quantities

In preparing to give a baby some
form of artificial food, other than
breast milk, n should have in mind
that it is more than just necessary to
fill the baby up; one must be care
full that the baby is not too well fill
ed. Sometimes l marvel that ba7
bies survive the awful quantities o;
food that are given them, quanti-
ties all out of proportion to their
natural capacity. or course the
stomach is a very elastic organ and
if 1t is constantly filled to repletion
it will shortly respond by becoming
larger, and be able to contain more.
This is a bad thing to let happen
since this unnatural enlargement viii!
push it out of position, sometimes
permanently.
Beginning 1T three months oe age
Eve sincerely hope the baby a be
nursed at least to that age) the "a
pacity of the child's stomach should
be about four and one-half ounces.
If the child is very large and weighs
much more than normal for it's age.
it may be able to take five ounces at
a time, but this is the limit of guam
tity. One can from then on figure
that the child may take from IN
and one-half to two ounces NOR
than it's age in months-thus foul
months, five and one-half to six
ounces. The latter named amount

RUTS

If you are driving a motor car and get in a rut, your prog
ress is Immediately ~impeded? The same is true IN any en-
deavor in your life. Ruts spells deterioration, degeneration
stagnation. The business person who gets IN a rut Is inevitably
doomed for failure. To be a success in business one must keep
up to the minute in new methods, new tools and new lines OF
endeavor.
1t is equally as true of the housekeeper. To be efficient
to produce the best results with the least labor, which Is after
all, the highest type of efficiency, one must keep out OF ruts ana
upto-date. Mrs. Experienced Housekeeper, do you COOK the
same things, do your homework in the same routine and by the
same methods that you first became accustomed to? Ii you DO
you are in a rut. Change means progress. There IS always
something new to learn. The alert mind and searching hand
is eager to see it and grasp it.
Then, too, the person who is upto-date is so much more
interesting than the Anticipated rut-wearlng human. kuts
are always narrow. So are rut-loving people. Don't be mar
row. Be big and broad. Keep your interests varied. Keep
mentally alert for new ideas and worth while suggestions. In
your judgments and opinions don't be bigoted and warped.
Pc open to conviction.
The more knowledge the student acquires the more he
realizes there is to learn. That is one of the great values OF
education. By keeping out of the ruts let us all endeavor to ac-
quire a self-education.
A full life is the successful and the happy life. Are you
making yours so?

JERSEY CITY-For months Miss
Elizabeth r. Wurthmann, school
teacher, has been reading fairy tales
to her pupils.
Most of the children believed
them. But she never did. School
teachers are grown up and know

But now she has changed her
mind. She, too, believes in fairy
stories, for a dream of childhood
has come true. A fairy godfather
has left her a fortune which will
give her luxury for the rest of her
days.
She became a school teacher be
cause she hates to WASH dishes"
Now she will never again nave to
wash 'em or do anything else she
doesn't like.
For she is the heir of a 100000
fortune left by Louis T. Leh-
meyer, go, who had been the best
man at her grandmother's wedding
in Germany rs years ago.
For many years the old man lived
alone on the top floor of al old
house on the East Side of New York.

All of Tncm "Crltlcdl
A discussion over Mans Critical
Age is raging in an English journal.
AS far as we can see most of the
contributors are women, and the re-
marks therein may be presumed 10
be authoritative.
Some correspondents place 1t
around forty. MANY men have come
to grief sentimentally between the
ages of forty and fifty" writes one
who signs himself or herself "Psy-
chologist."
We're willing to agree with "Psy-
k~,oloeist" only we are more liberal
in range.
Mans Critical Age begins at the
age of one day old and ends only the
day or two before his funeral.
He brides himself upon being I'M
mime from sentiment, but it doesn't
take a particularly clever woman to
nenetrate his guard and carry off his
head on a pike.
The funniest of the dummybells
knows that Achilles had a limp in
his off heel, and a soft spot In MS
head that never grew over
Even King Solomon, rated as the
worlds best in masculine wisdom,
couldn't resist the thousand or more
feminine charmers for whom he per-
Bonally vouched.
Man cannot claim exemption from
The Critical Age oil any legitimate
bcore that we can see.
He is never too old nor too young,
loo rich or too poor, to feeble-mind-
I'd or too intellectual, or too any
hing else to forgo risking an atten-
i've Y to the charms of feminine

eight ounces and after this he need
never be given at one meal any more
than eight ounces of milk, which is

A rich woman, in my opinion, can spend her money in
no way in which she will get so much out of it as in marry
ing the man she wants.
There is no more cruel wrong under which the fem
lhne sX laboTs than being bound by the old traditions that
forbade a woman the right to select her mate openly, and
that made her do all her maneuvering to get a husband under
cover. Every woman knows the man she wants to marry.
and inasmuch as every wife is ten times as much married as
her husband is, it is she who should be the picker out" not
he.
or course, within a few years it Is going to be just as
much a commonplace for a woman to pop the question to a
man as 1t is now for her to vote, and it is women like YOU,
of means and position, who must be the pioneers in this final
emancipation of the sex. DOROTHY DIX.
