Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Many ideas have been handed down
to us which have a slight foundatlon
in fact, but which most persons ac-
cept at their face value because IA
miliarity has given them almost the
semblance of truth. For instance,
there is that old superstition about a
child's eyes being sore when he cuts
his eye teeth. So If, during any or the
months preceding the cutting OF teeth,
a baby's eyes become sore, the mother
comforts herself that they will get all
right when the eye teeth are in, ana
she does nothing about curing the
sore eyes.
All of the ailments which may aff1ict
a baby during the two years in which
he is actively teething will be attrib-
uted by such persons to teeth, with
the result that the mother fails to look
into the real causes of the baby's i'll
ness on the mistaken notion that he is
bound to be sick when he teethes, so
she just has to bear with it.
Laying at the door Of prenatal In
f1uence the blame for baby's bad dis
position is another way Of binding
ones eyes to what Is really the mat
ter with the baby. Mothers don't do
this on purpose, but they listen to
what others tell them, and because
they felt miserable and cross during
pregnancy and the baby acts that way
after birth, they consider the pre-
natal influence ruined the child's dis
position, instead of hunting down the
reason for the baby's crossness.
If we could just urge mothers not to
be satisfied with cut-and-dried expla-
nations for a baby's unnatural behav-
ior, we would feel that we had a real
reason for existing. Don't let people
hush your fears with the old hoaxes
about IT'S his teeth" or "Think Of the
trouble you had before Junior was
born; no wonder he's cross baby"
Babies aren't spoiled before birth by
a mothers trouble If that mother has
fed herself properly, and mothers who
have lived through frightful expert
ences and borne a perfect child will
tell you so. Babies who are not we'll
will teeth harder than we'll babies be-
cause they aren't well, and not be-
cause teeth in themselves are any
more than a temporary disturbance
which seldom lasts more than a day
or two.

In the Summer children seem to
grow like weeds, and so when Autumn
comes the frocks that were plenty
long enough for them are all too
short, even for these days of abbre-
waited skirts. The question of how to
lengthen the garments is a problem
sometimes. To be sure, at first extra
deep hens should have been put in,
and probably were. If the goods have
not faded too much, the solution is
simple. If the fabric has faded and
the turned-down hem is brighten than
the rest of the goods, baste paper
along the line where the faded part
stops. Let the paper extend up over
the dress. Wet the hem just let out
and put it in strong sunlight until it
has faded the same as the rest of the
goods. Then remove the paper and
face the heightened strip.
1t was not this, but another method
that 1 had in mind to tell you about
today, namely, the use of fagoting
as a means of lengthening frocks with
out apparently being used other than
as a trimming. There are two or
three ways of using the fagoting,
which may be plain stitch or fancy
one, according to preference. 1t is
wise to use the quickest way for
dresses that are expected to give but
comparatively little wear and save
fancy stitchery for frocks that are
distinctly worth while.
Materials Unlike.
A contrasting material is best to
use for this decorative method of
lengthening garments. Then the con-
trasting colors, the plain goods put
with figured fabric or patterned with
plain materials add elements Of gar
niture as well as the stitchery. A
yoke across the top of dress can be
put in to give extra length. But
never be content with just this. 1t
will look too much what it is-a means
of making the frock longer. This
must be guarded against. Therefore,
put in belt portion, and then trim
ming, and not necessity, seems the
reason. Or deep hem may be fag-

Everybody Should Know His Food.

Having prepared himself for the
study of health by acquiring an ele-
mentary knowledge of physiology. the
person of ordinary intelligence should
next learn something about his food.
He should know the types, amounts
and proportions Of the various food
elements essential to the proper nur-
ture of the body.
Most laymen know too many Things
which aren't SO about food. Not only
popular fallacies or myths but all
sorts of food takers manage to keep
the laity pretty thoroughly mlsln-
formed about this subject.
Formerly it was customary to think
of three types of food or three classes
Of food material, namely, proteld
heterogeneous matter, such as lean
meat, white Of egg, cheese or curd,
gluten), carbohydrate (starches ana
sugars) and fat. Nowadays it Is the
rule to consider as of essential 1mpor-
tance also three additional types or
food or food materials, namely, min
eral matter or mineral salts, f1brous
matter or cellulose roughage, bulk)
and vitamins. Carbohydrate material
Is the most necessary food for man,
the kind Of food on which man can
survive longest, the kind OF food man
must have in the largest quantity,
and the kind Of food man can most
readily utilize for energy. A well bal
anced ration for an average adult
must provide 2 ounces of proteid ma.
terial, ounces Of fat and IA or l6
ounces of carbohydrate In "a hours.
The proteid, fat and carbohydrate
materials are burned, oxidiZed in the
body. and by their combustion as fuel
they furnish the heat and energy re-
quired to run the organs and do the
muscular work of the body
The mineral matter, cellulose, woody
fiber and the vitamins, though neces-
sary for health, are not oxidized or
burned and do not yield energy. These
food material rather give the body
something to aid it's functions, as the
ignition spark or the lubricant aids
the working of an automobile.
The fuel materials of food vary in
their heat or energy value. This
value is measured IN units. called cal.

fond OF him. But poor Mother can't

for feeling as she does. My, my, my,
what mess he did get into this time!t
Farmer Browns Boy chuckIed at
the memory.
Then he saw to it that his door was
closed and locked, put out the light
and went to bed. He lay for some
time listening, but heard nothing more
from Cubby. Finally he dropped
asleep and, being tired, slept soundly.
AS usual, Farmer Browns Boy was
up early in the morning. The first
thing he did was to look around the
room hastily for Cubby. But he didn't
see him.
He must still be up in the springs
Of my bed," thought Farmer Brown g
Boy, and poked his head over the edge
OF the bed to look under. Then he
got out OF bed and crawled under.
There was no Cubby in the springs of
that bed.
l wish you might have seen the
expression on the face of Farmer
Browns Boy when he came out from
under that bed. He began to wonder
If he had dreamed that he had found
Cubby up in the springs of that bed.
Yes, sir, he actually began to wonder
If he had dreamed it. Once more he
crawled under the bed. This time he
settled it. He knew now that he
hadn't dreamed it. You see, when he
felt of some of those bedslats he found
them sticky. There was no dream
about that sickness. But this didn t
help any in solving the puzzle of what
had become of Cubby.
AS he crawled out from under the
bed Farmer Browns Boy happened
to look over at the fireplace. There
was an old-fashioned fireplace in that
room. Now, the hearth was covered
with SCOT and there was SCOT scat
tered out around beyond the hearth.
That SCOT hadn't been there the night
before. Farmer Browns Boy was
sure of that. Mother Brown was too
good a housekeeper to allow anything
Of this kind.
80 that's it," exclaimed Farmer
Browns Boy with grin. THAT
scamp has climbed up the chimney, /
do believer
He swept aside the fallen SCOT, and
getting down on his hands and knees
he peered up the chimney. AS he
did so little lump of SCOT landed
squarely in his face.
He's up there all right" grunted
Farmer Browns Boy ruefuIly. "It is
a wonder he didn't go up there in the
| hrst place. Well, I'm glad he's out
side the house, anyway. Now I'll
have to catch him somehow"

Harmless Pastime.

Eleanor feels that her day dreams
are harmless enough, but she is just
sufficiently worried about them to ap-
peal to me for Judgment.
She has been married a couple OF
years and she's perfectly happy. jim
my isn't as thrllingly attractive as
he used to be, but she's very fond of
him and wouldn't have another hus'
band for anything in the world. She
loves her baby, too, and considers her.
self a very lucky girl.
But there's a strain Of romanticiSm
or sentimentality in her makeup which
still yearns for ardor under the moon
light and romantic adventure with a
tall, dark man who will burn with love
for her.
This sort Of bunk appeals to some
wayward, irresponsible side of her
which she admits she can't quite mas
ter.
She has mastered 1t sufficiently to
marry good, sensible chap like jim
my. with plenty of dependability.
But she hasn't mastered her senti-
mental self sufficiently to give up
dreaming about an impossible he who
will love her as no woman in history
has ever been loved before.
She tells me it comforts her awfully
to sit for an hour or two imaging
wonderful scene in which she, the
golden-haired heroine, goes blithely on
a yachting trip with the wonderful,
dark adventurer.
She pictures in her mind their meet
ing, their first love. the joy of being
all in all to each other. But Eleanor
herself admits this streak in her to
be a form of weakness. She talks
about overcoming it, mastering it, yet
she gives into it with her day dreams
If she resolutely banished from her
mind these fancies, born of vanity and
too much sentiment, she'd be really
taking a step toward mastering her
weakness.
If she sits dreamily yielding to the
spell of imaginary love scenes with an
imaginary hero, she's succumbing to
the weaker side of her nature.
This wouldn't matter perhaps II
the day dreams continud to be her
only vice. But with a dreamy, sensi-
tive kid like Eleanor, you must watch
out. After awhile her day dreams will
make impressions on her brain-deep
impressions that she herself doesn't
realize are there.
She will begin to compare Jimmy
with the grand stranger of her visions.
She'll find more fault with him than
After awhile it will occur to her
that maybe she has made a mistake in
marrying so young. How does she
know that somewhere in the world
that marvellous man isn't waiting for
her?
And. of course, If a handsome
stranger hits town or comes rushing
into Eleanor's life, it is natural that
she should feel a bit flushed. That
weaker side Of her nature to which
she has been giving in all this time
will betray her into doing something
rash and foolish and dangerous.
No, it's better to cut out the harm
less pastime of sentimentalizing over
an imaginary person who is not your
husband.
You may be innocent and pure mind
ed and well meaning, yet that senti-
mental, foolish side of you may be-
come the master if you pamper it and
give in to it.
Keep yourself busy and you won't
have time to dream away the hours
with a wonderful Romeo who never
could be.

best of one dress can be transformed
into skirt, collar and upper sleeve

old ones, since this style Is used, as
well as the others given, for dresses
made of new cloth and sold as dainty
garments for little ones.
Preparing for Stitchery.
To make the fagoting especially
attractive, use two contrasting colors
OF coarse thread. Baste the material
to be fagoted together fright side up)
onto manila paper, leaving a small
space between the hens, which are
turned and basted on the wrong side.
Blanket stitch the hens, making the
stitches come as nearly opposite each
other as possible on the two hens.
The blanket stitches hold the hens
and form gauges for fagoting
stitches.
Use a contrasting color for the
fagoting and make each stitch in be.
tween those Of the blanket stitches.
The thread must go down and come
up lin the short fagoting stitch in
spaces alternately opposite each other
across the space left for this stitch

merely combining blanket Tor button

result is charming when the colors

cries. A calory Is the amount Of heat

about one-third teaspoonful, and 1 de-
