ABOUT BABY'S APPETITE
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner Of Health New York City.

delicate tissues may be injured by
something the baby has put in his
mouth, or, il he has reached that
age, there may be intense soreness
of the gums from teething.
Probably the most common cause
of lost appetite is wrong feeding.
BY this l mean the feeding of the
wrong food or giving too much Of
the right food. Both are common
faults.
Perhaps the most frequent mis-
take in infant feeding is the giving
of a mixture too strong in its milk
content. Reducing the amount Of
milk and sugar or giving less top
milk may speedily restore the APP
petite.
This is a very general statement,
of course. 1t must not be considered
as anywhere near infallible. Instead
of acting on your own account, it is
better in every case to consult your
doctor and follow the advice he gives
after a personal examination Of tho
child.
Another piece Of general advice is
to cut down the number Of feelings
increasing the interval between
them. You know you have no appe'
tite if your meals are too close to-
gether. 1t is the same with baby.
Acting on these suggestions will be-
likely to increase the appetite anil
prepare the child for a richer mix
ture and a larger quantity OF food.
But don't neglect to seek your doc
tors advice if the trouble does not
yield promptly. 1t is much easier
for him to bring about speedy relief
if he is called carly. 1t is, indeed,
true Of baby's ailments that "a
stitch in time saves nine"

Their First Jobs
By Philip Nolan
How An Engineer Become'
a Manufacturer.

A leading manufacturer Of mo-
tors, who has built up a heavy ex-
port trade TO So foreign countries

facturer at all. He wanted to be a
mining engineer.
And his mining engineering stu
dies kept him busy until he was "A
years old, at which time he went
to work on a power plant construc.
ton job. He stuck at his work for
three years, in the meantime deyel.
oping some ideas OF his own on types
of motors that we're needed in this
and other kinds Of work.
1t was his interest in the mechani-
cal side Of the work that landed him
finally into a connection with the
Wichita Motors Company, of Wich-
tia Falls, Tex, Of which he became
the president and general manager.
Under his direction the business
Of this company, particularly in the

Over a city like New York the
night sky is not the wide, cool,
kindly spaces of the countryside.
1t is feverish, filled with a red
dish cast, lurid from the million
lights below.
Men who live in great cities look
up and see duller stars. The lights
they have lit all about them reflect
ed on the sky have lessened their
effulgence.
The city dims the stars.
Those who only see wan and
hueless consultations are apt to
underestimate the power of nature.
They are apt to lose sight of ul-
innate sources.
Men who turn a polished man
made faucet and out flows water,
hot or cold as they desire, who open
a tap and warmth is theirs, who
press a button and flood the dark
ened room with light--are apt to
get an exalted view of mans place
in the universe.
The majesty and Importance Of
the ultimate sources of power re-
cede. Effects are liable to loom
larger than causes.

Cities That Dim Stars
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

The man is apt to forget that
money is good only so long as the
present balance of nature continues.
Let disaster tie up all transpor-
tation and the big city becomes
helpless. If there is no food the
money with which the man feels
safe" is useless as so much dirt.
When catastrophe enveloped Ger
many only the farmer who pro-
duced his own food and had his re-
sources in nature, who was in con-
tact with fundamental powers, was
safe. The owner of stocks and bills
had nothing.
If the mighty forces Of nature
give one little shake or heave, men
who dim the stars are running
around like frantic ants among the
debris of their buildings.
1t is well once in a while to
think out beyond the man-created
systems and machines to the ulti-
mate sources of power upon which
they depend.
1t tends to make a man humble.
And humility, we are told, is the
beginning of all virtues.

There are many. things about
baby which the mother is not ex-
pected to know. 1 read of moth
er who just presented her husband
with 22nd child and all are liv-
ing! That mother must know an aw-
full lot about babies. But the aver
age mother cannot be expected to
recognize every sign Of approaching
trouble, or to. properly analyze the
significance of every symptom.
To a trained observer the scales,
the skin, the eyes and the temper
tell everything about baby. They
mean little to the mother. She is
often in doubt.
Whenever the mother suspects
something is wrong, 'but does not
know just what it is, she should con-

is one of the symptoms which should
not be overlooked.
You cannot be governed in your.
opinion of the child wholly by the
appetite of the baby. There may be

to the indulgence of an over-stimu-

In short, then, the appetite is not a

Failure Of the baby TO take his

James Russell Lowell, one OF
Americas famous after-dinner wits,
as well as great poet, once de-
fined repartec as: g.
"The clever things we think Of
in our carriage on the way home"
There is as much truth as clever
ness in this definition.
Someone has advanced the the
DRY that repartee is mainly thought
Of at some previous time and then
remembered when similar situa-
ton arises.
Thinking up what you might have
said after the dinner is over helps
prepare the witty retort for some
future occasion.
Not alone in the matter Of repair
tee does this apply, but in other
activities.
Going over in your mind what
you will do If a certain exigency
arises is the secret Of doing the
right thing when the time comes.
The story is told Of the engineer
Of a passenger train passing
freight going in the opposite direc-
ton on a double track.
One of the freight cars buckled
and jumped over on the track di-
rectly in the path of the speed
ing passenger.
Without a seconds hesitation the
engineer threw on all speed and the
train cut its way through the car
to safety. This net was given
credit for saving the lives Of the
passengers.
When he was asked how he was
able to think so quickly, he said:
Il didn't. / had often thought
just what / would do If ! saw a
car thrown ON the track ahead OF
me and decided there was only one
possible way out. So when the
time came / didn't think at all. 1
just did it.
