Rattles where his home was. Rattles

branches, and Peter sat down just be-

Your Baby and Mine
ny MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs T.. W. T. writes: How often
.hnuid child of three weeks be al
lowed to nurse? Can you tell me
the cause of extreme nervousness
in a baby of that age?"
Answer-If the baby is of nomal
full-term age and weighs over SIN
pounds. the most satisfactory nursing
intervals. everything else being equal
is the four-hour one. BABES ieu
every four hours sleep better. suHef
less with collie and will have made as
good a gain at the end of six months
as the baby fed on the three-hour
nursing period.
All babies act startled when they
hear loud noises; they may wake up
trembling, and still this would not be
called extreme nervousness. From
your question I am in doubt whether
the child is merely showing these
perfectly normal actions or II there Is
some more serious symptom of nerv-
BUSINESS.
Constant Reader-Your 6-month. old
baby has made a fine gain so far,
and if the gain has stopped and the
baby is going backward. it indicates
clearly that there should be more
nourisnment given her.
A child may fail to gain for week
or two during the actual eruption OF
teeth but when the weight begins TO
go down one cannot attribute this to
teeth, but to a deficiency in the diet.
Our feeding leaflet which covers feed
ing from months to 6 years will
help you with this problem. Just
a self-addressed and stamped envelope
and request for 1t are all that is
necessary.
Mrs. M. f. writes: "For months
my baby was very thin and cried all
the time. ! thought it was collie. but
now l know it was because she was
hungry. Then l started to give her
five ounces of milk and two of water
and a teaspoon of malt in each bottle.
''She improved wonderfully but was
not satisfied so I increased the milk.
She never vomited or acted as If she
could not digest it. But lately what
worries me is that she refuses to take
all the milk. She only takes two or
three ounces and leaves the rest. She
is teething and cries more than u.s.
ual."
Answer-Your formula Is almost
whole milk now, and though you
failed to say how old the baby is
1 guess she is not much over or
months old and is now getting an
eight-ounce formula of almost all
milk. Naturally she does not need so
much you also failed to tell me her
present weight and as she gets what
she needs from a smaller amount.
she refuses to take more 1t is posi-
bic that the imminence of teeth may
have temporarily caused a loss of
appetite, but her formula is too strong.

There is historic. background for
rnerry-making on the first day of May,
called May day even to the present
time. The ancient Romans used to
AaVe professions and festivals, and
Flora, the flower goddess, received
%ibute. The early Englanders had
fbeir marches to the woods. bringing
bacy May poles, to be erected in some
open field and about which dances
were enjoyed In our own country
May 3ole dances are still given at en-
tertafnments and at May festivals.
One of the Old American customs
was to hang May baskets, filed at
first with flowers only and later with
goodies covered with flowers that con-
cealed the contents. These were
either hung on front door knobs, or
when they were heavy placed on door
sills, the door bell was rung and then
the person or persons hanging the
basket ran and hid. The recipient of
a May basket gave chase, and when
the hidden persons were found they
were escorted back to the house. the
baatfet opened, the contents eaten and
= good time enjoyed.

HOROSCOPE
Tuesday, April 26.

Tomorrow is a threatening day, ac-
cordlng to astrology, and certain ad-
verse influences of the stars are
rather strong.
There should be fair profit from
commercial transactions early in the
morning, but it is well to avoid i'm.
pCrtant deals.
There is sign supposed to encour-
age deceit and double-dealing, and for
this reason trading is hazardous while
this rule prevails.
Again increase in the cost of living
is indicated
This is not a favorable rule for
financial transactions, and borrowers
especially may find il disappointing.
Advertising now will be discussed
as never before and new methods will
be introduced, the seers prophesy.
There is a sign denoting agitation
regarding horse racing, which may be
the subject of widespread revival OF
interest.
Persons whose birth date it is are
lucky where work or travel is con
cerned, and this year should be most
fortunate for them.
Children born on that day are likely
to have artistic talents. and should be

one redeeming feature; that is, it was
