Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDREp.

Mrs. l.. F. finds that her baby has a
habit of scratching the woodwork Of
her crib. Her mother thinks that
this Is a sign that the baby needs
lime In her food. The baby, who is
getting % ounces Of milk, IA Of wa
ter and tablespoonfuls of corn strip,
Is s months old and weighs is pounds.
She also gets three teaspoonfuls of
orange juice and the same amount
of cod liver oil daily. Her bowels are
irregular. She has no teeth.
1t would seem to be rather barren
Of results for the baby to try to
get a supply of lime by scratching the
woodwork and my guess is that it
merely shows that she is enchanted
with the noise she is making. Twenty
four ounces of milk is right for her
weight, and she can take ounces at
feeding now. In addition to the
orange juice and cod liver oil, she
can take part of an egg yolk and also
cereals. night and morning. Informa-
ton about these things appeared 30
recently in this column that I hope
most mothers have read and profited
by 1t.
This baby is a rather poor weight
for months, and the lack of teeth
with benefit to her.
Mrs. r. B. w. writes: NY 1O-month-
old baby weighs % pounds and has
seven teeth. How long should he
sleep? When put him to bed at
night he sleeps for a while and then
wakens and has to be taken up and
put to sleep again. He does this three
or four times before go to bed Some
nights he won't get to sleep until IL
O'Clock. Should / put him to bed at
the same time every night and let
him cry 1t out? He cries so long be-
fore he goes to sleep. In the night he
refuses to go to sleep without a bottle
unless I put him in my bed.
He gets a bottle every four hours
and none at night IL can keep from
giving it to him. He also gets orange
Juice, cereal. meat broth with rice or
macaroni and apple. He has a rash
on his chin and around his mouth,
which has been there a long time.
What causes that?
Answer.--The baby is such tire.
mendous weight that one could not
even suggest that he might be under
nourished. so it Is evident that these
wakeful periods come from one of two
reasons. First. that he has too much
to eat at his night meal, and the rest
lessness is due to Indigestion, or that
he is not used to regular sleeping
hours, either day or night. The last
Is probably the cause. / am sure,
without a single exception. IL child
has been used to regular nap periods
and sleeping hours at night, that even
II his food is not ideal. he will sleep
when he is put to bed. barring tempo
rary wakefulness, due to illness, colds,
teething, etc. Your baby needs more
rest in the daytime and absolute reg
ularity at night. Not one day being
put to bed at 6 and the next day at
II when papa or mamma take her OUT,
which I have a feeling Is what hap
pens. Try one bottle feeding at 10.
Perhaps the child really needs this
fifth feeding.
The chin eruption seems to suggest
eczema. Something is wrong with
the diet, perhaps too much cream. or
too much sugar and starch. The
overweight suggests the same thing.

Whose Fault Obesity?

A dentist asked for some advice
about reduction. but the stamped en-
velope he inclosed was addressed to
his wife, whose dimensions were duly
entered in the postscript, and ! be-
lieved the woman really needed reduc-
ton, so / sent her 1.-The works" But
along with the instructions and ad-
vice / sent her something else. What
ever 1t was, it made the dentist pref
ty mad. 1 don't mind that. for my
teachings about the conservation OF
the teeth often make dentists mad.
But in this case the dentists indigna-
ton was aroused because he said
said something which led his wife to
suspect he didn't love her as he used
to love her when she was sweet 1875
Now I am honestly sorry about
that. When a man has been loving
the same woman for 10, Is, 20, 20
years, and everybody else can see she
isn't the same woman at all. it Is de-
plorable to give the poor blind fellow
any rea son to suspect his present wife

much as he loved the wife he had 10.
Is or 25 years ago. No matter how
much his eyesight may have failed In

all fairness he ought to love his pres

one he married Is years ago-there Is
so much more of her to absorb his
love.
These nice fat wives-and ] hold
that the great majority of the nice
ones are good and fat, though this
does not necessarily imply that all
the fat ones are nice--these lovely fat
wives who take the lurid f1ctionists

complex about fairness do their hus-
bands an injustice. 1t is my obser-
