Testing Resolutions
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE

The only resolution that is Of any
account, said a philosopher, Ia one
which contains something that must
be done now.
A resolution never passes over from
the sphere OF vain wishing TO actual
practice unless it contains something
TO be done Immediately.
Test your resolution by this: A
resolution that contains a thing to be
done when an emergency arises is Of
no value. 1t must contain something
to be done In an emergency which
has already risen, something which
can be translated into action.
A resolution that is made an actual
deed has a double power. 1t fires
itself 10 the habits. 10 has got into
place where ii can grow and
strengthen your character.
A resolution that is not put into
practice at all and contains nothing
that can be put into immediate prac'
tice is like the winged seed which il

Brains and Character

prize, and recently in the public eye for the
discovery of the Millikan ray. demonstrates
that he has not only brains but character.
Replying to German statements that his ray has
long been known to German scientists the gamma

"What the Germans obtained in their experiments
were merely indications. Ny findings definite
answers to disputed questions. The matter Of naming
the ray does not interest in the least do not claim
it,
The phenomenal advance of science during the
last century has been due to with this attitude of
mind.
Keeping the eye on the main consderaton-ac-
hievement-rather than upon personal credit is the
trait of character that has distinguished all true scien
fists.

GENIUS IN THE BUD

]I'm dresdfully afraid you are going

SO much after his father" (This is not
an unfamiliar sslutation.)
"We can't keep q servant in the
house, and my mother simply cannot
stand his abuse, and he is beyond me
to handle because he gets the best Of
me every time" It was quite true;
the very first day we had trouble.
William was eleven. and had to be
watched, for he was full Of mischief,
but almost Immediately after his ar
rival fighting began to break out like
the measles. William was never in
the fights but always stood on the side
Inns enjoying the fray.
Hitherto peaceable boys started
fighting one another, and what was
battling was the bad blood that seemed
TO exist In each case. The clue came
through accident:
He stood just behind my door, with
one hand laid carelessly laid upon the
shoulder Of q classmate: "You know
Charlie s., don't you? Well, I don't
like to be a tattle. bat you just notice
how be acts toward you. and pretty

listening to the very same thing, and

each scowling at the other. The next
day the foment began at recess, and

Diet for Baby
BY Royal S. Copeland

Babies are remarkably sensitive to
mistakes in feeding. Adults are, too,
but they are not so easily upset as
babies.
As we grow older we get sort Of
hardened to what is going on inside
US, but babies are not so. Their in
ward organs rebel IL the feeding is
wrong, even for a day or two.
Constipation and diarrhea are evil
dences of wrong feeding. II either
condition becomes conspicuous 1t is
time to inquire into the feeding meth
DDS used.
Give a grown.up person too much
sugar or too much fat and constipa-
ton is likely to result. II the baby
is constipated, you must be suspicious
at once that fat and sugar are too
abundantly supplied. ! refer, OF
course, to the bottle-fed baby.
The top milk or cream should be
omitted. The mixture less rich in
fat is likely TO overcome the trouble.
This reduction in fat will probably
cause the intestincs to resume their
normal function.
II the fat reduction does not work.
then you may return to the use OF
cream and cut down on the sugar.
The infant may be getting two
ounces or more OF sugar every day.
One ounce is probably quite enough.
You may think / am inconsistent
when I say at this point that a lack
of fat and sugar may be productive
of constipation. It is true, nevertbe-
less. II the food mixture is too
weak" there may not be supplied
sufficient vitality TO make the mus
cular efforts worth while. The mus
cles of the intestinal walls will be
weak, too. In consequence conetlpa'
ton may exist.
On this account, il no sugar has
been added to the milk mixture, II
should be done. Likewise a little
more top milk may be used. Under
feeding should be avoided.
Orange juice is great corrective
of constipation in infants. At first
give a little, perhaps half teaspoon
full, but after a time more and more
Juice of half orange may be giver
twice a day.
It is just ar important to cultivate
regularity in a baby as it IL in ar
adult. The child should be placed or
the vessel at regular times. IL vii
not be long before the infant will re
spond.
1t is a rather common practice II
certain sections to give the baby boiled
milk. Perhaps it started with tn
treatment Of diarrhes and for SOM
reason its use has been continued. II
constipation, the boiled milk should b
discarded.
A little study and a lot Of commol
sense will make il easy to keep Mas
ter Baby feeling fit and fine.
