CARE OF BOTTLE FEEDING
UTENSILS

" CIN 04Ao
II is important that nursing bottles
be of proper shape. The neck OF the
bottle should slope gradually. without
any sharp curves or corners. This
will enable you to cleanse the bottle
easily. There should be no corners
which cannot be easily cleaned. New
bottles should be annealed or made
less brittle by placing them on the
stove in a dish-pan OF cold water,
leaving them to boil for twenty min
utes. Allow them to stay in the water
until it is cold. This treatment OF
bottles will prevent their breaking
when filled with boiling water. Before
using any bottle it should be sterilized
by boiling for five minutes. Do not
rinse bottles after they have been
stcrilized.
In choosing nipples. the most inn
portant factor is the ease with which
they can be turned inside out to be
cleansed. A nipple which cannot be
turned in this way is unsafe. The hole
in the nipple should be large enough
TO allow the milk to drop rapidly, but
not so large as to permit it to flow
in a steady stream. II the hole is too
small, it can be easily enlarged with
a hot needle. The white powder on
new nipples should be completely re
moved by rubbing between the hands
and the nipples should then be washed
with hot water and soap. All nipples
should be boiled for five minutes
before using. Clean, sterilized nipples
should be kept in sterile covered
glass jar. A Mason jar is very good
for this purpose.
In mixing the food, il is important
that the same care be taken as to clean
illness. The top of the milk bottle
should be carefully rinsed i'll running
water. If condensed milk is used pour
boiling water over the end of the can
to be opened and also over the can
opener. Have all the utensils close
at hand. as we'll as the boiled water,
cruel or cereal water to be used for
the feeding. The Cruel or cereal
water should be prepared and cooled
beforehand. ,
The utensils should not be handled
anv more than necessary after they
have been sterilizcd. but should be
placed on a clean dry tray until
needed
When preparing feelings be careful
TO follow closely the directions as to
measurements. The exact quantity
and proportion of food is important
to insure proper digestion and steady
growth. -.
After the mixture is prepared. fill
the nursing bottles with the correct
amount for each feeding. measuring
by the glass graduate or the marking
on the bottle. Stopper the bottles with
sterile cotton. Cool quickly by stand
ing them in running water and then
keep them below fifty degrees Fahren'
heit, until needed.
Immediately after the baby has
emptied bottle, it should be care
fully rinsed and put in a clean place
away from dirt and flies. 1t is also
advisable TO keep these used bottle.
filled with clean water until all Of
them can be sterilized. After eacf
feeding the nipple should be turnet
and r;nsed inside and out. and put in {
covered Jar until sterilizcd. Use I
freshly sterilized nipple for each feed
ing.
All other utensils. mixing pitcher
glass graduate, etc. should be likewise
washed thoroughly. Immediately afte'
use and should be stc-ilized agar
before using.

FAVOR RETENTION
TRUEBL0OD ADMINISTRATION

AT a meeting held last night. at which a considerable number
OF representative citizens of the town were present, the question
OF the coming town election to be held May 18th was discussed
and the matter of candidates for mayor and comcilmen considered
1t was the unanimous conclusion of all present that the present
administration under DR.. Trueblood has been rendering the Town
most satisfactory service, and should be retained, if it were possible
to persuade the interested parties to become candidates for re-elec-
ton. The two councilmen whose terms expire at this time, with
DIR. Truebloods are N. w. Frost and c. A. Stump. Both of these
gentlemen have proven their worth as advisers and administrators
in town affairs, Mr.. Frost having served one year, while Mr.. Stump
has the distinction of having served on three different councils
having been elected under the Cox administration.
DR.. Truebloods administration has been distinctly noted, e-
pecialy during the last year, Tor the harmony and smoothness OF
its operation. Our town has been unusually well governed and
well cared for. There has been a marked absence OF trouble or dis
order of any kind, while our town Jail has only rare opportunities
to function.
Before the meeting adjourned these gentlemen were personally
consulted and were finally persuaded to allow their names to be
used as candidates for reelection. and it is 10 definitely announced
at this time. There is an unauthentcated report in circulation at
this writing that efforts are being made to launch the usual opposi-
ton ticket with P. S. Greever as aspirant for the main office.
DR.. Truebloods ticket will be known as the Cooperative
Ticket"

HORSE ROLLS ON
BOY; ARM BROKEN
Walter Hoffman, Jr.,
Plucky Youngster
Says Surgeon

The arm of Walter Hoffman, Jr.,
was broken a week ago last Monday
when his horse slipped and rolled over
three times with the boy under him.
The boy and his sister had been to
the Two Dot ranch for the mail and
were returning when the horse fell.
He was unable to get his foot out of
the stirrup while the horse rolled.
After it stopped the girl held the
horse down until Walter worked his
foot out of the stirrup.
His arm panied him all night and
the next morning he was brought in
an automobile as far as Dave Goods
ranch by r. G. Hopkins, They started
at 8 o'clock in the morning and were
until 2 O'Clock reaching the ranch.
Dave Good then BROUGHT him by wag-
on as far as C.. +. Hensen's. Mr..
Hensen brought the child the rest of
the way in his car. His arm was
swollen and extremely painful but DR..
Trueblood, who set it, declares he has
seldom seen such pluck as the little
fellow showed during the ordeal. Both
bones were found to be broken and
il WINS a very bad break.
