Your Baby and Mine
Cows Milk Best .
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Cows Milk Best.
Mrs. A. L. wonders why people ad-
wise her to put her baby on cows milk
when she has successfully reared one
Of her babies on a proprietary food.
The baby Is seven months old, and she
would like to know whether she
should change to cows milk or con
tinue with the canned food.
Advice Is Good.
Fresh cows milk is the next best
substitute for mothers milk because il
is d fresh food and because. with modi-
fication. il more nearly resembles
mothers milk and has the advantage
OF being a live food and one contain
ing essential minerals and vitamins. 1t
would be advisable to change the baby
to cows milk gradually and to add
vegetables and fruit juices to his diet.

Feeding" will be most helpful to you
now, and You may have it for a self

marks or the result Of medicine used
daily in the baby's eyes. The baby is
not at all bothered by the marks.
The tooth-gritting is indicative OF

shaking may be just a nervous spasrn
! or be real commissions, though 1t would
seem that any mother would recognize
a convulsion even though she had
never seen one.
One would need to be a clairvoyant
to be able accurately to diagnose the
ills of this baby.
In a convulsion the baby Is I'M
conscious and its muscles contract con.
stantly. The eyes will be opened and
rolled back, and the child may froth
at the mouth.
I don't believe the mother is using
any medicine strong enough to cause
spots above the eyes. II she is she Is
doing the child an injury instead of
being helpful The marks are likely

Material Prices Lower.

1919 average, The real boom did not
get under way. however, until 1923.
Material Prices Lower.
With the increased activity Of 1923.
building wages began TO rise and they
have been on the ascendency ever
since. They are at the present time
about so per cent above the 1919 level
and approximately 10 per cent higher
than the level at the peak Of the infla-
ton period in 1920. The level OF rates
now is 1873 per cent above the level Of
1913, according to the United States
Department OF Labor, as compared to
124 per cent above a year ago, or an
increase Of per cent. In 1928 they
We're l07 per cent above 1913. and the
level in 1922 was 81 per cent above
showing the steady advance which
has been made in labor costs during
the past few years.
Just the reverse condition exists as
regards building material prices. At
the close Of 1925 these were about IA
per cent lower than they were in 1919.
Furthermore, material prices have re-
manned fairly we'll stabilized during
the three-year period since 1923. and
give every indication that there will
be but little price variation this year.
The general tendency on the part of
builders is TO oppose increase in the
cost of wages at this time, feeling that
additional cost in homes will not be
tolerated by the public.
