to be appropriate to his size. You
can't expect him to stretch his little
kicking limbs down to pedals that are
a foot beyond his reach There must
be plenty of room on the seat, too.
See that the seat is made of good
quality leather. and is mounted on
spring that will minimize jars and
bumps Metal seats are uncomfor-
table and liable to hurt the little fell

When son mounts his wheeled steed
he shouldn't have to reach far out for
the handle bars. He's growing now.
and it isn't right to have him spend
a few hours every day in a cramped
position just because the handle bars
are stingy in length or poorly placed.
Wooden grips are the best by the
way, though rubber grips are also
good. A metal grip gets hot or cold
too easily.
The velOCipede should have bear
ings. 1t will ride smoother and faster
and require less effort to propel.
BEARINGS ease the strain on the parts
that wear, and if they break new bear
ings can always be put in their place.
The pedals are usually equipped with
rubber grips. so that sons feet won't
slip off when he's racing the Jones
boy or straining to mount the bill in
back of the garden.

to arrange a diet for diabetes that
eliminated all starches. AS we know

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Danger of Over Feeding.

Mrs F. N S.-You are making
great mistake to diagnose your bahy's
discomfort and wakefulness as being
a need for more food. She is hardly
the regulation weight for three months,
that being T. pounds, and you are
feeding her now as much, or more,
than a child of five or six months re-
ceives. Top milk is not in general
use any more, being considered too
rich for the average child. 1t would
be better to use the whole milk, that
is the cream from the whole quart
mixed through it, and much less in
quantity. Eighteen ounces day
would be the maximum for her age
and weight, and ounces at a feeding,
the rest to be plain boiled water and
some form of sugar. no lime water
and no barley water. The baby is
staying thin. / imagine. trying to di
gest this rich amount of food you are
giving her.
Mrs. w. j. L.-Will you send for
feeding leaf1et. including a self-address-
ed and stamped envelope with your
request? This will tell you how to
feed the baby from now on.
Mrs. T. IA child who has suffered
for long time with a neglected cold
may develop earache, because the in
lection will have travelled from the
nose into the ear starting up infiam
nation, intense pain and consequent
fever. If a child has high fever,
screams with pain and cannot be
soothed. think of earache and consult
the doctor.

ionable. 1t is important to have
something little different-not to
have what ninetenths of the other
women are carrying.
The fashion for bags and scarfs to
match is an interesting one and one
that seems to be meeting with con-
siderable favor. If you wear tailor
ed suit you will need either a fox fur
scarf or scarf of some sort-and
the effect Is extremely good IL your
scarf matches your bag. There are
charming little bags made of pleated
silk mounted on metal tops. sold to go
with scarfs of the same sort of silk.
They are not especially expensive.
The scarf is passed close about the
neck and knotted or crossed over
ascot fashion in the front. Sometimes
a large clasp pin is used to keep the
scarf in place at the front. If the
frame Of the purse is silver then the
scarf to match the purse should be
pinned with a silver pin.
