Homemakers and Their Work
By LYDIA LIE BARoN wALKER.

And so we find there Is sanction TOR
dividing our lives into periods dis.
tinguished by epochs as well as BY
days. weeks. months and Years
Epochs IN Lives.
The homemaker who would &c.
coinplish most and IN the most agree !
able way will find that the epoch
division OF time offers by tar the
greater interest II also pushes
ahead the things of actual moment
So that they get accomplished de-
icdedlg quicker than when the cal
endar division Of time Is consid-
cred, AS q matter OF fact, lives are
divided by epochs whether we Fecog-
nize them as such or not. There was
the time when you first Went %
school. the time when you graduated,
the time when you married, the time
when you started housekeeping, the
time when your first little child was
put into your arms, and then follow
all the epoch periods of his young life.
You find yourselves reckoning from
these dates consciously or uncon-
sciously. They divide. your lives into
epochs, and are not these Of far more
significance than the mere calendar
divisions? OF course. for they were
the times when definite eras in your
lives were marked by events that
made impressions never to be- for
gotten.
Interest Of EpOchs.
It is well TO recognize the epoch
method of dividing our days into por-
tions. Know this wayto be the one
that is most influential in forming
happiness and in developing char
acter. Without underwriting the
necessary routine of housekeeping and
methodical running of a home, put
this epoch method in advance OF them.
You will find that the very interest It
develops will make you speed UP on
detail work and it will also be of in
estimatable value in making you dis.
Germ the essentials of life.
Estimate Life Right.
For example. is it of more impor-
tance that you should get cleaning all
done by a special hour and be weary
when your husband returns home, or
that you should let a little OF it 60 and
be ready with the cheer that betolsens
good health when you welcome him?
The happy hours spent together in
companionship are epochs that make
for happy homes. The hours spent
with your children are rarely beauti-
full ones when you give your full at
tention to entering into their little
games and come to know them.
Every mother realizes that she can
give her full time to homework and
leave out these priceless periods
Which is the most worth while? And
if you value these epochs Of a life
time. will you not find them 50 alb
sorbingly interesting that you win
simplify routine of housework and
eliminate the unimportant in order to
have them? Let me strongly recon-
mend living lives in epoch periods that
glow with the radiance Of power and
beauty.

Sometimes at o'clock, Just when

Mildred was bright girl and she'd

Until the day Milly found a crowd

Your Baby and Mine
Artificial Feeding
y MrRrLn azEzEs EIDRrD.

- nAAtHA8A ARSNAAAAN
Providing the mother has made
every effort to nurse her baby
and has failed, even with compleuleTi-
tary feedings, she Is justified IN try.
ing artificial feeding.
The simplest formulas Of good fresh
cows milk, boiled water and sugar
have beer. found 10 IS the best. II
more complicated feeding Is indicated
doctor should always advise the,
formula and watch It's success.
DO not use Jersey or Guernsey milk:
The baby cannot digest such rich
milixs. You may use any Scf three
forms Of sugar, malt sugar; corn strip
or granulated sugNr. Malt sugar con-
tains more minerals and IL generally
more easily digested and almost al
ways more laxative.
It is wise to have your doctor stg.
gest the initial formula.
Use separate nursing bottle Tor
each feeding and have one extra In
case Of breakage.
Use reversible nipple and have
one for each bottle.
Wash bottles and nipples In hot
soapsnds, after rinsing, and boil the
bottles In clean water. Rinse nipples
and keep In q s0da-water solution.
Boil the nipples twice weekly.
Hold the baby when he IL taking
the bottle Just a. II he were being
nursed. This Offsets any possibility
OF his taking the milk too rapidly and
of swallowing as much air as milk.
Stop the feeding frequently and pat
up the gas.
Constipation.
The commonest causes Of constipa.
ton are the wrong formula and q
sluggish condition.
For nursing babies the mother
should look to the condition Of her
own bowels. eating plenty Of fresh
green vegetables and fruits to keep
herself unconstipated.
| II this does not help, usually some
alteration In the child's diet will. The
addition Of complementary feeding
may bring about q change. At B
months orange juice alternated with
prune juice may do the trick. At 5
months the mother can use q soap
Tor glycerin suppository at q regular
hour each day and help to regulate
the child to daily movements. For
older children q greater supply Of
vegetables and fruits win usually
work wonders. Regularity OF bowel
action Is q habit that should be fos-
tered from birth.
DO not use artificial laxatives. Do
not use castor oil for small babies.
The common practice Of giving castor
oil each week Is to be condemned and
often starts the very constipation the
mother Is trying to avoid. Milk OF
magnesia Is a harmless and nonhabit
forming laxative, and where all other
measures have failed one may make
use Of this until q full diet has had
chance to cure the trouble.

THE wearing of buttonhole bou-
