Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Habit becomes so strong cord that
if any habit is continued for a long
period it becomes not only difficult but
painful TO break. Thus it Is that the
baby who has nursed for 8 or 10
months and has never had bottle is
going to make most awful fuss when
he is introduced to it and it may hap
pen that in order TO force a child to
take q bottle when it is no longer
possible to nurse him the mother has
to refuse the breast and offer only a
bottle until at last he succumbS and
takes it willingly.
All this trouble could be avoided by
starting to give each child a bottle
from the very beginning of his life.
At first this bottle may contain only
water; later he may have one bottle
frequently which contains a milk
formula. This can be given when the
mother is away and will afford her
opportunity for recreation, which
might otherwise be denied her and will
likewise accustom the child to taking
milk from bottle. Then weaving
time will never represent suffering
and trouble.
1t is the same with feeding from
d cup. When baby is given bottle
feelings only until he is we'll into his
second year 1t becomes Increasingly
difficult to get him to take his nourish-
ment from a. cup. The baby of nine
months or so should be given some Of
his milk from a cup from the very
beginning 1t is not always posi-
BILE for him to take all the milk he
needs from a cup, but If each day he
has part of a feeding. especially his
, O'Clock feeding. which is fuller and
more leisurely meal from q cup, he
will be accustomed to this method of
feeding and he will not rebel at it
when more and more milk is given
to him in this way
If the child has not had such train
ing and the mother is now finding it
almost impossible to get him to drink
milk except from a bottle. she may try
offering him his milk from a glass and
use straw or glass tube so that he
can drink IL as one drinks fancy
drinks at soda fountain. Milk may
be slightly colored with cocoa so as TO
improve its appearance. and once the
baby has learned this method of drink
ing he will enjoy it. and the difficulty
is solved.
So many mothers say. "Siace nv
baby stopped taking the bottle she
will not take milk in NY form" That
is the fault of the mother. She must
find some form in which the baby will
take the milk. Buttermilk Very
weak cocoa made with all milk
Matted milk drinks. Milk soups. All
of these forms offer ways in which
the child can be taught to enjoy milk
again.
But going back to the bottle drink
Ing. 1t Is mistake to let children
over Is months of age land this is a
liberal limit continue to take their
feelings from a bottle. Children must
progress from one stage to the next in
feeding as well as in all other forms
OF natural development, and to keep a
child who should be eating like an
adult still in the baby stage is to re-
tard this development.

New Outline From Fur Chin Collar
BY MARY MARSHALL.

furriers hit upon the idea of launching
a fashion for flaYing fur coats. Some
women bought them--and paid some
what more for them because more
fur was needed in making them. But
from the start most women held back.
The flare was all very well for the
pict ureSque evening frock or for the
daytime frock when made of soft.
plant material But even the most
plant new fur was too substantial for
the fare. The fiared fur coat de-
tracted from the slim youthful line
to which women had committed them
selves. So the faring fur coat made
little progress. IF you bought one
last season the chances are that You
have taken it back to the furrier to
have the flare removed.
That being that, the furriers have
had to devise some other ways of
dating" their fur coats. They have
made new cuffs. new sleeves and.
best Of all. new collars. While many
OF the new coats do still show the
shawl collar. newer outline is
gained by the new straight standing
collar or the chin collar that flares
like the cup of a Gala lily.
The straight standing collar is
sometimes no higher than the neck
and actually goes urder the chin.
Sometimes it widens ever SO slightly
toward the top and extends well up
to the ears and covers the tip of the
chin. II is then sort of straight
chin collar. More generally becoming
is the lily-shaped chin collar. Some
of the new fur coats are provided with
collars of this description. which.
when folded back. give the effect of
one Of the new shawl collars.

SCHOOL NOTES


 Mccarthy, Alaska,
 March 5th, 1926. The Children's
 Orthopedic Hospital, 21O7 Warren Avenue, Seattle, Washington. Dear Friends:
 We are sending you a box of toys, books, and candy, Which we hope you will enjoy. Perhaps some of you are Alaskans your selves, yet 1 think you would be interested in what we do here.
 These toys and books are some we received on Christmas and our birthdays. Some are not absolutely new, yet some are just about.
 Last year on Armistice Day there was a big dance here. Our teacher and another lady made about thirty.six pounds of candy. We made a booth in the dance hall, and decorated it with flags and posters. It surely was very pretty. We sold the candy and that is how we received the twenty five dollars.
 Alaska is larger than Ger many, although it hasn't many people. It is United States last frontier. Many people think Alaska is cold and barren. but it's not. 1 wish all you children could see it's tall majestic rugg ed noun taips, glistening glaciers descending into the valleys, and it's dense fragrant forests. Yes, 1 think Alaska is d wonderful country, and hate to think of it's getting settled hhe all the other frontiers. Perhaps you will think just because 1 am an Alaskan 1 say this, yet 1 think all the other people who have been here would say the same.

 In Alaska it isn't much diff erent than down in Seattle, only it gets cold in winter, and warm in summer. All the rivers freeze up so you can't see the water run. In summer we farm and things like that. In winter the trappers bring in furs and sell them. Some of the furs are mink, wolves, lynx, wolverine, wease]s and fox.
 We do many things in the summer time up here. We go fishing, hunting, camping There are ten farmers up here. We go swimming out tc Boltoff Lake. It is very warm in summer.
 Our school up here isn't very big. There are only six children going to school.
