BEDTIME STORIES BY y. TMoasToS anscqs2

haystack was still a long way off.
but it was q haystack and that was
enough to keep Danny going.
At last Danny reached 1t. Then
he went all around it. Never had he
seen Il stack like this one before. It
was on stills. Yes, sir, it was on
stlts. You see. it was on the marsh
and that marsh was sometimes COW
cred with water at extra high tide
Hay would spoil If it were wet by
high tide. SO Il great many big
marsh, leaving the tops above high
water. On these had been built q
stack Of hay. 1t was salt hay. You
know, the grass that grows on the
marshes is salt. Danny didn't know
what TO make Of this haystack. He
ran in and out among the stakes
and then he made up his mind that
this was the best place he had found
since he left home. 1t was no trou-
BILE at all to climb up one of those
stakes and burrow into that mass
of hay. There he had the SofteSt
kind of bed and no one in the
Great World would think of looking
for him there.
Danny spent several days there. In
fact. he hated to leave his home on
stilts. Il wish Nanny were over
here said he. "If Nanny Meadow
Mouse were here what wonderful
time we would have. This would be
a wonderful place to spend the Win
ter, if only had food enough"
But thinking of Winter reminded
him of home again, and. in spite of
his comfortable quarters. he began to
grow home sick. The very next morn
ing when he poked his head outside
almost the very first thing he saw
was Whitehall the Marsh Hawk
Whitehall was sailing back and forth
his breakfast. It was Whitehall be
hide and seek with Whitehall too
not to know him, Finally Whitehall
alighted right on top of that very
haystack. and there he sat and sat
and sat.
Danny began to wonder If Whitehall
suspected that he, Danny. was hiding
In that stack If he didn't suspect
anything of the kind. why did he
stay SO long? II think I'll move on
this very night" said Danny. I'm
rested and I think it's time to move
on. I don't like Whitetails COM
many. lie is another one of those
fellows who Is fond OF tender, sweet
Meadow Mice. I'm not tender, but
I suspect that Whitehall wouldn't be
fussy. I'll move this very night"
And that is just what Danny did
do. He once more pointed that funny
little blunt nose Of his toward home
and started on.

The Time to Wean.

II the mother has been holding on
until the cooler weather in order 10
wean the baby, this Is the time to
start 1t. Summer Except In the
warmest climates) is quite definitely
over. One can begin now to put the
baby on cows milk. If he Is still
being nursed exclusively, and for
those bottle babies who have never
had cereals and vegetables one can
begin those changes, too.
Weaning should never be done IN
q hurry. For the comfort OF the
mother and the protection OF the
baby it is best to make the weaving
process last three weeks or a month.
One can substitute one bottle feedlng
for one breast feeding this week
Next week substitute another bottle
And so on. This gives the breasts
n chance to excrete less milk, as
less and less demand Is made upon
them. and also gives the baby a
chance to become accustomed to the
new food before he is deprived OF the
breast entirely.
The milk formula should be COM
paratively weak, no matter what the
child's age, in the beginning. "A
9-month old child can take a half-and-
half mixture just the same as II he
were 6 months old. For the time
being this will slow up the baby's
weight, but one should not expect
gain in weight Immediately. The
main thing is to get the baby estab-
lished on the new food without up
setting his digestion. Then 1t Is easy
enough to make cautious increases In
the strength of the formula until he
is taking enough milk per day to
increase his weight. When child
makes an upward leap in weight on
any new food 1t Is pretty certain that
the food is too strong and trouble
may result. If mothers will go about
weaning in a leisurely fashion. and
make the increases in the strength
Of the milk carefully there Is no rea-
son at all why any baby should have
trouble digesting cows milk; or why
the mother should suffer from pain
fully over-full breasts. Such condi'
tions come about when the mother
decides one day to put the baby on
cows milk and the next day intro
duces the poor child to a full days
feeding of it, forgetting that nature
is still supplying her breasts with
milk and that the baby's stomach
will naturally resent having an en-
tirely new food thrust upon it with
out any warning. In some cases such
drastic methods are necessary, but
the average baby can best be weaned
slowly.
This department offers a leafiet on
weaving and early feeding which can
be had for the asking, and a self
addressed, stamped envelope.

Foe Passes River Barrier.

HARLEM HEIGHTS, n. Y, Oc-
tober 9. 1776.-Three British war
ships. the Phoenix. the Roebuck and
the Tartar, and three tenders sailed
up Hudson's River this morning and
ruined fond hope from which the
Americans have been deriving much
encouragement for several weeks.
With no trouble at all they passed
the distractions which our troops
have been sinking in the river, brush
ing them aside as they might d few
floating chips Of wood.
Our shore batteries did not let the
proud British ships get away undam-
aged, to he sure. 1t was not alto
gether n triumphal parade for them.
On the ROebuck alone nine were killed
and IS wounded. For a time it was
feared that their coming foretold q
land attack on our camp on these
heights, but after brushing by the
sunken Instructions between Jeffery'S
Point and the Jersey shore they kept
on to Dobb's Ferry and anchored.
Not the least disaster Of the day was
the loss of the submarine boat which
David Bushnell OF Connecticut has
been developing for many months and
which was counted upon to do great
damage to the enemy navy by under
water attacks.

"You can't wean 4 rat on q ham
sandwich"
This statement was made by Ros-
coe II. Shaw of Chicago in a report
at the annual convention of the
American Bakers Association.
Here Is the point OF this story.
Mr.. Shaw continued: mo proportion
of ham and bread without butter pro-
duced n sandwich which would sup
port the growth OF young rats. With
the addition Of milk the rats grew
i'll q normal manner"
Mr.. Shaw. as q worker for the
bakers. had to acknowledge that mot
by bread alone" could rats live, not
! even when ham was sandiched in.
But the addition Of butter in the
| sandwich helped the growth of the
young rats. When milk was given
the rats grew in q normal manner.
The ham sandwich contributed
starch for energy and some protein in
the ham for rebuilding tissue waste,
but II did not give the absolutely es-
sential mineral salts. without the
| protective mineral salts they could
not grow. though Mr.. Shaw does not
say. presume. that the bread Of the

that their tests We're made with white

shown that rats fed on whole wheat

rats fed on white flour do not thrive

do. the young are feeble and do not

White -four contributes n certain
energy value. but It is shy on mineral
salts and vitamins. So is ham But

for bones and teeth.
II calcium ia not present in our
food. health will suffer. II calcium is
not present in the food Of young rats,
they will not grow. IF calcium is not
present in the food of young children
they will not grow.
You can't nourish young rats on Il
ham sandwich. But. more important,
you can't nourish young children on
a ham sandwich. They must have
milk for normal growth. Again and
again this truth is demonstrated.
Milk contains protein carbohy-
drates, mineral salts and vitarnins.
Experiments have shown that its pro-
