There Is Soap for All.

One soap manufacturer industrf'
ously propa gates the idea that his par
ticular brand gets after the disease
germs in extraordinary fashion. The
health officer of a Western city tells
the world that soap or its frequent
use for washing the hands has anti
semitic value and so tends to prevent
the spread of many infectious diseases.
The health officer of an Eastern city,
writing some stuff for manufacturer
of something else, asserts tnat soap
is not so good, at least the ordinary
cake or bar soap, if used by more
than one person. as it many convey
germs from person TO person and SO
actually spread disease.
I have often wondered just what
would happen if an infaIlible proprie-
tary interest should clash with an i'm
movable proprietary interest in the
same issue. I'd like to see 'em go
at each other for a finish fight on
some little question of hygiene like
this.
On this vital question of soap. now

hurt my business. l refuse to be
drawn into the controversy. Let the
East and West fight it out, say. |, and
mea nwhile, folks need not feel any
anxiety, as there is plenty of soap
for all.
If you suspect that some one else
has gone and used the soap before
you get it, don't make a fuss over it,
but just give the bar a good soap and
water washing, and, according to the
more westerly view and mine. it will
be sufficiently aseptic for the most
squeamish microphobiac to use.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs..L. NJ. S. writes: "I wonder if
you would be interested in hearing
about my 9-month-old baby? AT birth
the baby weighed a little over 7
pounds and now weighs IS pounds
and 10 ounces. She is sunny and
good natured She has five feelings
of 8 ounces of modified milk: orange
Juice at 8 am: cereal and milk at 10
am: strained spinach or carrot and
rice with broth and her milk at 2
pm; prune juice at pm. and her
milk at s. At 10 pm. she has another
bottle of milk.
"She sleeps for three hours after her
morning feeding and has short nap
in the afternoon. She goes to bed in
a darkened room and sleeps through
from 10 until 6 without waking. She
was breast-fed until months old. At
that time / took one breast feeding
away and substituted a bottle feeding
and continued this until l had her on
all bottle feedings. She is very ac-
tive and springs to her feet when we
take her up.
From 5 until is her fussy time. so
for a few minutes l cuddle her and
then undress and bathe her. I let
her kick and play III her band and
shirt and diaper for about Is minutes
on a table. / hope my letter will find
a place in your corner"
Answer-Yours is literally perfect
baby. She has exactly the right care
a baby of this age should have, as
we'll as the right food. The bedtime
exercises are splendid.
All mothers find that babies are fussy
during this last hour before bedtime
and the babies will be amused and
benefited by being undressed and al
lowed to stretch and kick unhampered
by clothes. The baby should amuse
himself, though, as it is not advis-
able to excite him by playing with
him. Just watch him; that ought to
be pleasure enough for the mother.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL

Wb"is a growing girl attempts a hun.
ger strike against excessive aVoirdu
pois she may do herself more harm
than she realizes. An absolute fast
will, Of course. bring down the weight
at rapid rate, but this is not the
healthful way to reduce. A loss Of
two pounds a week is all that any
one should aim for. Rapid reduction
brings feeling of weakness and ones
face becomes haggard and ones body
flabby.
Most girls in their teens are thinner
than they, should be and they try to
maintain their slimness. This makes
we'll developed girls seem too stout.
An excess of 10 pounds or so over the
average weight for age and height
in this adolescent group Is an advan-
tage from the health standpoint. Lack
of normal development during the
growing period will be a health and
beauty handicap through life.
The sensible way for a really stout
girl to reduce is to leave out of her
diet a few specially fattening items
like candy, rich pastries, cakes and
ice cream and mayonnaise dressing
Her menus may be well balanced with
out these things. Plenty of regular
exercise will help reduce accumula.
tions of the fat about the shoulders
or hips. Correct posture is a seldom
recognized factor in reducing pro-
grams. A slouching carriage of the
body causes double chins and promi-
nent abdomens. When the figure is
drawn up to it's full height, with chin
up, chest elevated and abdominal mus
cles contracted, it's girth around the
hips is reduced automatically.

eating means good health for even
the adult of normal weight. But a
diet restricted to one or two foods is
fraught with danger. Undernourish-
ment will follow such a course.
The amount of protein food eaten
is rarely too small. Milk, meat, eggs,
cheese, wholegrain cereals and breads
and beans supply protein. 1t can
easily be seen that there is little
danger of too small an amount of
protein being taken. In fact, it is
easily possible to take too much. 1t
Is best to use meat Sparingly-about
three or four ounces a day; to eat
eggs in moderation lone or possibly
two day. and depend upon about 8
ounces of milk for the protein ration.
Two or three ounces of carbohy-
drate-that is, the starch and sugar
foods-''must be taken daily to insure
the proper utilization of other food
stuffs and prevent acidosis. A nor
NAL diet contains six or eight times
this amount of carbohydrates" The
carbohydrate group can be repre-
sented by the cereals, breads, white
potatoes, besides the starches and
sugars present in other vegetables
and fruits.
There must not be undertaking of
mineral salts, calcium, iron. etc, and
the essential vitamins. These must
be taken daily. Be sure there is some
raw fruit or raw salad vegetable in the
daily menu.

Victim of Deception.

Mr., Smith had another outstanding

person was full of what you might call

his habit to touch some one for a loan
and then go. He would go and keep
on going and never come back-at
least, he never came back to return
the sum he had borrowed.
On this occasion he buttonholed Mr.
Smith and pleaded for the small
sum of $40. AS he represented the
situation, his need for that amount
was pressing and urgent. On his word

Underfeeding.

Though the great majority of peo-
pie eat too much, there are many,
many people who do not eat enough.
Poverty, of course, brings under
nourishment to many. When money
is scarce and food prices are high,
economy is practiced in the kitchen.
1t seems economical to buy coffee in
stead of milk. But health suffers by
such an arrangement.
However, lack of money Is not al
ways the reason for underfeeding.
Sometimes convalescent patients are
underfed. Lack of appetite may pre-
vent enough nourishment being taken.
In this case, dainty service, small
portions of food, perhaps given at two
or three hour intervals, instead of
several foods given at the regulation
three-meal periods, may coax the
patient into taking adequate nourish-
ment. Also, the patient must make
an effort to eat the food necessary to
the rebuilding of health. Food is the
great tonic in convalescence. Sun
shine, fresh air and food will do
wonders in bringing back health.
Underfeeding will naturally cause
a loss of weight. And this process
of undertaking is the one employed
by many who wish to lose excess fat.
We hear great deal about "reduc-
ing diet of 1900 calories.' One ply
sician noted for his knowledge of foods
and nutrition states that IAN adult
person of average size who is taking
less than 1900 calories daily is almost
certain to be underfed, unless con-
fined to bed
