Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED,
The Busy Bodies.

1t seems to be the aff1iction Of some
souls that having no troubles Of their
own they seek out troubles for those
about them merely for the sake Of be.
ing able to advise and thus feel help-
ful. The care Of babies Is task enough
for most young mothers without hav-
Ing at the same time to worry about
placating relatives who insist on keen.
ing the mother in a state of nerves
about her offspring.
Here is Mrs. c. II. H.. who has a
wonderfully healthy, normal baby,
which she is able to nurse and which
is progressing in fne fashion. The
babe. though quite young. sleeps with
out waking from 1880 until 5. This
does not please the spinster aunt Of
the household, who is sure the baby
should not go that long without food
So the young mother, instead Of en-
joying and protlting by the fine rest
she gets at night, and being convinced
that the baby is likewise benefited. is
worried for fear she should wake the
baby and nurse him.
The aunt finds fault continually
with the way the baby is being nursed
and so the poor young mother does
not know which way tos turn. The
doctor assures her everything is fine.
but the constant dripping Of the criti-
cizing drop Is enough to wear away
the stoniest OF nerves, and SO the
mother will only feel satisfied II some
one else, quite unbiased. will tell her
If she is right.
1t is right and proper that a well
nourished baby should sleep from 6 to
s. or its equivalent. through the night
The baby needs the long rest and gets
plenty Of food to nourish it in the day
time hours. The fact that the baby
sleeps thus Of its own accord should
be enough to convince the mother that
there is no cause for worry. A hun
CRY baby is seldom a good sleeper.
If the baby has no trouble taking
the breast with the inverted nipple,
there is no cause at all for worry
The aunt, no doubt, means the very
best by the baby. and 1t Is only her
eagerness to see everything going
rightly that makes her SO dictatorial.
But when things are going well, no
one has a right to upset the regimen
that is responsible. Not every one
has to do things exactly the same way
that every one else does them. So
long as one keeps the primary essen
tials of child care firmly in mind, regu-
larity of eating and sleeping and air
ing. and the baby is thriving. one has
nothing at all to worry about. even
though small matters may seem to be
less than perfect.

WHY Wear a Sweater?

A college sophomore writes that his
class has just been discussing some
thing l said about exposure. ms
professor asked why basket oall
player, warmed up by practice or
play, is apt to suffer some sort OF res
piratory infection or other illness next
day If he neglects to put on sweater
or coat during rest periods. Inc

usual happening even though sucn a
player has not been exposed 10 the

ailment.
The basket ball player is not apt 10

the professor seems unable TO grasp
is that the respiratory infections, ail
Of them so far as we know, are specinc
germ diseases and cannot occur WIN
out specific infection. No one carries
about with him an assortment or the
germs of such diseases. SO 1ar as we
know, no one carries the germs OF any
respiratory disease, except an occa'
sional person who has recently hao
the disease or who is just coming down
with it. 1t is the veriest poppycock 10
imagine that you or 1 may haroor In
our mouth, nose or throat germs

and that little white patch wasn't a
patch of snow at all.
But IL II wasn't snow what could 1t
be? Peter was stumped. as the saying
Is. That means that he just couldn't
think of any explanation at all. He
knew now that it couldn't be snow.
He also knew that it couldn't be that
white stuff ca He'd mold found on dea
wood. because that wood wasn't dead.
What could it be? Peter thought and
thought and thought, and the more he
thought the more puzzled he became.
He wanted to ask questions. but he
couldn't think of any one to ask Ques-
tions Of. He couldn't think Of anybody
who would be more likely to know any
more about 1t than he did. What made
those little drops? Why were they
sweet? What made that white patch? ?
Did those little drops really come from
that white patch? If they did. why.
didn't that white patch grow smaller?
Over and over in his mind Peter kept
turning these questions until his head
ached. And all the time he sat right
in the same place and all he saw
in that alder was that one little
white patch high above his head.
1t didn't once enter his head
to look for other white patches. He
didn't once think that there might be
other white patches. And all the time
there was one not a foot above his
head, where he could have looked
at it very easily had he found 1t.
What do you think that white patch
was?

Concentrate With Ease.
BY J. O. ABERNETHY.

An employer in seeking person to
attend to the hundred and one details
of his office such as a secretary
should perform would make no mis-
take in hiring the person, other things
being equal, who has a large concen-
trative ability.
He will be able to concentrate with
ease, will have the patience and the
knack of remembering and perform
ing dozens of little acts in daily at.
fairs without becoming fretted. 1t Is
his habit to observe minutely and to
bring his mind to bear upon the So
called small things Of life.
Concentration is the faculty that
endows woman with the patience to
perform cheerfully her small but not
unimportant domestic duties. It Is
a very useful faculty in a person who
often has an occasion to exercise 1t.
If extremely large 1t makes one a
master of detail.
Concentration has its sign in the
upper lip. It is indicated by the
length Of the white pert of the upper
lip in the center. When this Is well
developed, there seems to be a drop,
a hangover, which extends over the
red membrane section in the center.
