Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.


Mrs. +. J. Il. writes: MY boy is
II weeks old and weighs 13 pounds.
He weighed Ga pounds at birth. He
vomlts after every feeding and l have
been told il is due to spaSms Of the
stomach. Is this dangerous? Will he
outgrow it? VIII it grow worse?
What causes the contraCtionS OF the
muscles at the bottom of his stomach?
Is he too young to sit in my lap?
How can 1 tell if my milk is good
and If 1 have enough?"
Answer.
Any child who gains over pounds
in IL weeks has no real trouble and
the spasmS Of the stomach are a
rather high-sounding name for some
thing which / doubt exists. The baby
is just overfed. He gets more than
his stomach will hold and he very SEN
sibly spits it back. If he were not
gaining and he had "spasms" of the
stomach, coupled with constant vomit-
ing, it might be because of a too small
opening from the stomach into the
duodenum (small intestine) or because
his stomach had learned the trick OF
ejecting food. This is a muscular
habit learned by the stomach. I
think all you need to do is to lengthen
the intervals between the childs nurs-
ing periods, say to hours apart. and
feed for only 10 or 10 minutes. This
ought to stop the vomiting.
I would not let him sit up. unless
he does 1t Of his own accord for very
short periods, until he is at least
months old. Then do not prop him
up, but let him sit alone on your lap,
his back unsupported and this for only
short periods. AS long as the baby
gains from to 6 ounces weekly and
Is satisfied and happy you may be
sure your milk Is all right.
Mr.. G. 4. J. writes: "My 5-months-
old baby, reo has gained from to
IL pounds since birth, still insists on
a bottle at 3, IL and o'clock at night.
I know he should sleep through the
night, but he wakens regularly. I
give him 5 ounces Of milk, Of water
and one tablespoon Of malt sugar in
each bottle
Answer.
Why not make the baby's feeding
period at IL and refuse to give him
a. bottle at and 3? He doesn't need
it as he has made q tremendous gain
ana this is purely habit. Give him
water In his bottle at and 8 and let
him cry 1t out for a night or two. It
is better than having his sleep dis
turbed by SO many unnecessary fee0-
ing periods.

The Lion and the Sun" of Persia.

sun is depicted with the face of a
woman.
An eminent Persian. writing in
1880. says that the lion and the sun
emblem was taken for the official
arms Of Persia by Faith Ally Schah,
who reigned from 1897 to 1885. This
ruler instituted the order of the
Lion and the sun" after the model
Of the Legion of Honor. When the
order became well known, the EN-
blem was carried on the flags Of the
kingdom. 1t is said that. at first.
the lion was represented as "cou-
chant" or in repose, and the Min
ister from England at Teheran is
credited with having suggested the
change of attitude to that Of ION
guard" with sword held aloft.
The grand standard" was white
with a border of green, while the
army flag was bordered with red.
Later the two borders were COM
bined on one flag. and still later,
after the abdication of Shah Moham-
med All in 1909, the three horizontal
stripes were adopted. still preserv-
ing the three colors. Green and
white are the colors Of Islam. and
green has always been considered as
pertaining to the family of Moham-
med. Red was the Arab symbol Of
religious duties, and is also inherit
ed from the Ottoman rulers Of BY
zantium.
An interesting representation of
the official Lion and the Sun" may
be seen over the entrance to, the
Persian legation. The flag was dis
played this month on March Is, the
birthday of the present Shah, and
will be seen also on March 81. the
Persian New Year and a special
holiday.

mentS.
Perhaps 1t iS even more surprising
that almost exactly the same amount
of money Is spent for lead pencils as
for mirrors. We think Of mirrors as
rather expensive things. and. indeed,
| some OF the very large ones do run
into sums Of money that would buy
literally tons of matches. Still the
fact remains that you and I. II we are
average people. spend as much for
/ matches as for mirrors. The total for
each in the whole country Is 20 mil.
lion dollars.
Some readers may be particularly
interested to know that In 1919 people
spent just little more for phono.
graphs than for stoves: that carpets
and rugs for the whole country cost
just about the same as its linseed oil!
Most of us think that tinware is a
relatively small item in the budget, yet
there is as much spent for tinware
every year as for glass. not even in
| Guiding the cost Of mirrors. Still a bit
more surprising may be the fact that
the average American spends more for
| little bars of soap than for glass or
tinware, and twice as much as goes
for hardware or for rugs and carpets
in the country. In spite OF the fact
that we think plumbing supplies are
expensive. just plain soap costs the
| same amount Of money-300 million
dollars year.
Another item which ought to sur
prise many shoppers who have been
| investing in furniture lately is that,
| on the whole, the families of the coun-
| try spend just as much for cottOnsoed
! oil as they do for all of their furniture.

PICNIC COMMITTEE
MEETS

The Labor Day picnic committee
held their regular meeting this week
and transacted business pertaining to
all the subcommittee. From the
way all the committees reported, the
picnic will be success if signs do
not fail.
The committee voted to secure a
band for the concert both afternoon
and evening. An orchestra has also
been contracted for to take care of the
vaudeville show and the dance
pavilion. With both the band and the
orchestra there will be plenty of music
to cheer up the crowd.
Many new games are under way
and applications for concessions ga
lore have been secured. Some of
these have been let, but not all.
The contract for the fireworks will
be let some time this week, and as
usual they will be up to last years
or some better.
Several more acts are under way
for the big vaudeville show, which will
certainly be one of the big features
of the outing.

The community picnic which will be

one of the largest gatherings held this
season.
Extensive arrangements are beng
made by the committees to entertain
and take care of the thousands of citi-

improvement association members
alone with their families number
many thousands of our citizens, who
are all enthusiastic and are looking
forward to the big outing.
The picnic will be held at the But

August 21st, and will be an all day
affair. We are told that the amuse-
ments will be of the best, and all are
guaranteed good time as soon as
they set foot on the grounds.
The admission to the fair grounds
is free to everybody. With free
admission nobody can have an excuse
for not attending if it is only for
an hour or two.

An appealing letter was read from
the Central Labor Council of Winnie

SIX ORGANIZATIONS
Grouped in Lead for Pur-
chase of Stock in The
Union Labor Life
Insurance Co.

Washington, d. C.-With the photo
engravers leading by margin too
wide for comfort, six international
unions are fighting for honors as pur
chasers of the largest amount of
Union Labor Life Insurance Com
pany's stock.
The photo engravers lead the list,
both in total number of shares taken
and in number of local unions taking
shares. Matthew Woll, president of
The Union Labor Life Insurance
Company, is president of the photo
engravers.
The plumbers hold second place
with much tenacity, both in total of
shares taken and in number of local
unions participating. But the railway
carmen, headed by Martin Ryan, have
been pushed from third place in point
of total shares taken by the musi-
clans, headed by Joseph Weber. The
carmen cling tight to third place in
number of local unions buying stock.
In the second group of three organ
izations fighting for the lead are the
carmen, with a place in both divisions,
the stereotypers and the street rail
waymen, headed by William D. Mahon.
Either of these organizations may
easily enough step out of the second
division into the first, and out of the
six leading organizations any one of
them may take first place away from
the Photo Engravers at any time.
There is great interest in The
Union Labor Life Insurance Company
headquarters here over the manner in
which the organizations are seeking
the honor of holding first place when
the company begins writing insurance
business.
Emphasis is being laid by Presi-
