Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. G. NJ writes: 81 have an s.
monlh-old baby who has had a cold
most of the Winter. Now she has
another cold and coughs as if it might
be whooping cough. Is there any
thing I can do or give her that would
keep her from coughing so hard? She
is nursing baby. She has six teeth
and will soon have more, but she does
not sleep very well at night. She Is
restless and cries in her sleep. Would
teething cause this? She maps sew
eral times during the day. She easily
chokes on food. I give her orange
and tomato juice and she drinks al
most pint OF milk a day. What
would you advise me to feed her?''
Answer-Either you are dressing
the baby too warmly so that she is in
constant state of perspiration and,
therefore, more susceptible to colds,
or else there is some correctible con-
dition of the nose and throat. No
healthy baby has a cold continuously
and l should certainly find out what
is causing this condition. If the child
has whooping cough, as you suspect,
the doctor can give her serum which
will help to lessen the severity Of the
disease.
Teeth may temporarily cause rest.
cries out and acts restless at night it
usually can be traced to the diet,
either a deficient or an injudicious one.
AS the baby now gets SO much milk it
will be no trick to wean her entirely
and put her on the diet suitable for
this age. This should be done this
next month. Our diet leoiet advises
in detail about this period and would
suggest that you send a stamped and
self-addressed envelope and ask for
the weaving and feeding leafiet.
When baby is 8 months old in the
Spring it is wise to begin weaving. 1t
does not pay to keep a baby under
nourished, as he most surely would be
if nursing is continued for longer than
8 or 10 months, in order to protect
him from the dangers OF the second
Summer. Wean the baby before hot
weather. 1t is never advisable to
change foods during the hottest
months Of the Summer.

Joan said, oh" sort of downhill,
like she was going to say something
else. but that is all she said, and she
went out to the kitchen to get his
bottle. and when she brought it into
the bedroom the baby looked at her
and waved his arms and kicked, and
I'll be darned if he didn't say Bobby $
bottle, Daddy just as plain as the
nose on his face.
/ said, There! Tell me he can't

couldn't talk. He said, 'Ba-ba, ,ba-ba

/ said, ''WelI. why in the devil would
he want to say it three times?" Joan
said, "Oh. of course. Swear in front
of the poor little thing" | said, We'll,
I'd be darn sight rather he'd cuss
little than say everything three
times
Joan said, 'sHe has a perfect right
to say things three times if he wants
to-" and I said, 'He has not" and she
said, "Well, why not, I'd like to
know" and I said, Because he's a
male, not female"
Well, the baby was through with
his bottle already, and he grinned at
me and said Daddy" and said.
"Yes, dear. Daddy understands and
Joan said. Eyes, darling. Bottles all
empty. isn't it?" and he said, Daddy,
Daddy" and said, "Yes, angel.
Daddy, daddy, daddy" and Joan
b said, you sweet little thing-'bottle,
bottle, bottle"
I ! said, "Say Daddy again, darling -
and Joan said, Say bottle dearest, =
but he did not say anything and
said. why can't you leave him alone,
Joan?"
She said. Hes my baby as much as
he is yours, hope" / said. THAT
doesn't give you any right to tell him
he can't speak to me-" She said, "He
can speak to you all he wants to. for
all care, but when he says bottle ]
intend to let him say bottle"
/ said. "He said 'Bobby's bottle,
Daddy but he didn't get any credit
from you for it," and Joan started
to say something back, but the baby
had turned over on his stomach and
pulled his knees up under him, which
is how he says he wants to go to
sleep, and so we put out the light
and closed the bedroom door, and we
went out to the kitchen on account of
the dishes having to be washed no
matter what is said.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, May 5.

Sinister planetary aspects will rule
tomorrow, according to astrology. 1t
is a time to be calm and to avoid all
impulsive action.
Mars is in threatening aspect and
there is a sign indicating influences
that encourage bad judgment and ILL.,
advised policies.
Interest in all sorts of sports will
increase greatly at this time, when
there will be new records made in
athletics.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of many changes in the
coming year. A great enterprise may
enlist interest, and removal is
probable.
Children born on that day probably
will experience extremes of fortune.
They are capable of attaining the
heights of success.

Spring Tonic.


A few days ago the following Spring
tonic prescription was offered by DR.
Theodore B. Appel, Pennsylvania State
secretary of health
Fresh air in abundance.
Restriction in the use of meat; con.
sumption of more fruit and vegetables.
Eight hours of sleep each night.
''Plenty of work and a goodly dash
of play"
This is natures own program for
vim, vigor and vitality" said DIR. Ap-
pei. "It is merely common sense ap.
piled to the gentle art of living. Fol-
low this prescription and medicine will
not be required advised the doctor.
The open window is a sign of Spring.
The fresh Spring air is an allurement.
We want to bring it into the house.
And that is well. For its life-giving
oxygen is needed for the health of our
bodies.
/ would amplify DR.. Appel's "eight
hours of sleep each night" adding 'in
a well ventilated room" Some few
adults might do with seven hours
sleep; others might need nine or ten
hours, depending on the state of
health.
Scientific experiments have shown
LnaC meat Is not necessary as q source
of protein. Eggs, milk, soy beans,
whole grains and q few other foods
supply sufficient protein. But meat
is tasty and f1avorful, and of course
does furnish protein. But one serving
of meat a day is really sufficient for
any one. Health is better when meat
is used in moderation. Fruits and
vegetables are the great tonic foods.
They help to cleanse the system. They
are filled with mineral salts which the
body needs in great abundance. They
are filled with vitamins. These are
essential to health.
The old idea of a Spring cleaning by
the use Of sulphur and molasses is
not needed in these days when every
one is being warned about the neces-
sity of properly balanced diet
through the whole year. Also it is
now easier to provide this diet, since
commerce has made fresh foods avail.
