Your Baby and Mine
ny MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Lately there seems to have been
more than the ordinary Number OF
questions about skin troubles. There
are so many kinds of "rashes" that
| II is a difficult matter to try to diff
ferentiate them by mail and also by
the description given by the mother.
A rash may be caused by nothing
more harmful than a harsh soap on
the very dry skin of an infant, or 1t
may be caused by the wrong kinds of
food, and naturally the way to cure
this latter disorder would not be by
applying remedies to the skin but py
clearing it up through the harmful
| food which is causing 1t.
An overfat baby may have eczema
because his mothers milk Is too rich
| in fats, or If he is a bottle baby be-
cause he is getting a Jersey or Guern-
| sey milk, or even the top" of ordi.
nary milk. The eczema will be relieved
when the fat content is cut down or
skinned milk or buttermilk given.
The breast-fed baby may be sensitive
to certain food elements, notably eggs,
sometimes cows milk, pork, fish, choc-
olate, wheat, oats or some fruits.
When these appear in his mothers
diet the baby gets a rash on his face
or body. One cannot tell exactly what
causes this except to notice when 1t
does appear and thus be able to point
out certain foods which seem to cause
1t. Vaccination with these foods will
often clarity the mystery and the
mother can avoid these in her diet or
introduce them in such cautious
amounts that the baby will learn to
become tolerant toward them and then
they won't affect him.
Sometimes babies begin to have
eczema when they are started on new
foods. In that case 1t should be easy
enough to discover the offending food
and use the same method of introduc-
ing 1t in very, very small amounts
into the baby's diet until he acquires
an immunity toward it.
Eggs are frequent offenders In this
respect, especially the egg white
(Which is protein).
All eczema should be treated inter-
nally as well as externally in order to
heal the rash. If rash is healed by
the use of salves alone it is fairly
safe to conclude that the disorder was
not due to food but was purely an
external irritation of soap, hard water,
or something Of the sort
For speediest service, mothers
should take advantage of the leaflet
service offered through this depart
ment. The answer to almost every
ordinary question has been anticipated
and included In the following list of
leaflets. ANY one or more may be
had by sending a stamped envelope
containing name and full address of
the reader. 1t is wise when asking
for more than one leahet to send an
envelope large enough to hold them.
The leaflets are not large, but 1t is
better to send at least a full-sized en-
velope always.
You may have leaflets on the follow
ing subjects: Prenatal care and diet
for the nursing mother; Indigestion;
Feeding and WEAVING, covering
periods from months to 8 years old:
Eczema; Layets; Forcible Feeding:
Hiccoughing; Dirt Eating; Cradle Cap:
Hives; Vomiting; Limewater; Worms;
orange Juice; Cod Liver Oil; Refrac.
tory Children; Teething; Sleeping:
Thumb Sucking: Sitting and Walking.
Training in Clearly Habits; Periods of

CHAPTER TX.
Jessica Likes Raymond.

Jessica had made up her mind to
marry Ray Townley. He fascinated
her. She loved his thin face and the
way his eyes were set. giving him
slightly Oriental expression. Then,
too, he had the experience of a man
of the world and was only %. She
didn't believe any of the stories told
about him, either. People always ex-
aggerated when they wanted to Cos
sip and were unnecessarily cruel.
Ray had never told her very much
about himself But in a clever way
he had insinuated that he had been
very much misunderstood. She was
surprised and flattered that he cared
to play in their crowd. which was so
much younger, and when he began to
pay her particular attention she had
been thrilled.
AS a matter of fact, although Jes-
sica did riot know this, her fortune
had been greatly overrated.
1t was known, of course, that she
would inherit her principal at the
eye of 81, but her present income
seemed enough to provide her with
the essentials of life If not most of It's
Injuries. OF course, Aunt Maude paid
her share Of the expenses of maintain
ing the house, and she had never
taken a cent from Jessica for her up
bringing. Young people are apt to
overlook such things, however, and
Jessica hadn't given a thought to the
fact that her aunt had been faithful
to her over q period of years.
She tolerated Aunt Maude. nothing
more, and there were times when she
resented her f1ercely. There had been
the time, for instance, when her name
had first been coupled with that of
RavYnond TOwn1ev and Aunt Maude
had tried to talk with her.
Jessica had been furious.
"Of all the narrow viewpoints that's
the worst" she had stormed. "As If
l believed any Of the gossip that goes
around this town"
But it's true, dear, that his wife
had to divorce him. and. besides, Jest
sica, I don't like his face"
"Of course, you don't like his face

to suggest that he's after my money
How ridiculous! Why, he's making
loads Of money. Besides, I haven't
so much. Just enough to live on COM
fortably. You'd think l was about to
inherit millions"
Maudo saw that she had failed and
stopped talking about 1t. But shortly
afterward she had written to Mark
She was afraid for Jessica. In spite
of her modern tendencies, Jessica was
80 young and unspoiled. She wouldn't
have admitted it for the world. but
Maude knew that the girl was roman
tic JeSsica would have scorned such
an idea. Her crowd didn't admit such
a. thing as romance. They all pre-
tended to be hard-boiled and in a way
incapable of feeling. But at the age
of IA Maude had come upon her
reading a book one aftf rnoon. She had
been too absorbed to hear her aunt's
footsteps, and the slow tears had
dripped on the pages of the book open
before her. Later Maude had cap.
tured the book 1t was est Elmo"i
Surely, that Jessica of IA had not
been entirely obliterated by the
Jessica of 20, for of all the wild
romances, est. Elmo" is certainly the
widest.
Yes, the Jessica of 20 scorned
romance-openly. But Maude had
discovered certain slim books of
poetry that had been left carelessly
about the house Some Of the pas
sages were marked.
''They are not long, the weeping
and the laughter,
Love and desire, and hate
/ think they have no portion in
us after
We pass the gate
They are not long. the days Of
wine and roses"
Romantic, certainly, and strange
things for a girl to be reading who
was not sensitive to beauty and who
had not the capacity to be cruelty
hurt. Jessica would demand certain
things of life. She would never real
ize them with Raymond Townley.
He would take her and twist and warp
her ideals. And Maude wanted for
her the best that life had to offer.
Up to the present time she had been
closer to her than any one else.

Value of a Faithless Wife.
.om the Philadelphia Inquirer

From the Philadelphia Inquirer,
What Is the value of a wife who
deserts her husband for another man?
In suits for alienation of affection it is
often placed at a high figure. Yet it
may be doubted if object lessons of
this sort are very effective. Juries
are quite as apt to award low as high
damages. And can money ever really
compensate for such injuries?
In an undefended divorce petition in
England the lord chief justice, 20
whom the question of damages was
left, awarded the complaining husband
only half crown, the equivalent of
60 cents. The cable does not quote
his remarks. If he made any. But his
view plainly is that wife who does
not keep faith with her husband is
practically worthless. This has hth-
erto been moral rather than legal
view.
