Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. B. writes-"My little girl is
three years old. Should she wear long
sleeved wooden shirts or nainsook
union suits and boomers? Should she
have little wooden bands and separate
boomers? Or do you think it neces-
sary to still keep wool on her this
Summer? She and my boy Of still
have cod liver oil and orange juice
daily. Is this necessary"
Answer-There is no necessity for
the child over years of age wearing
wool of any kind in the Summer. Up
to that age it is quite all right for a
child to wear the part-wool bands il
the Summer, but after the teethine
period is past there is no reason for
them to be continued. Use a wooden
panty waist and thin panties on the
child or else a romper and cotton un.
derwear; a union suit is fine.
Neither child needs cod liver oil
now unless there is some degree OF
under-nourishment for which this has
been advised. The orange juice can
be given indefinitely.

AZ months old; weighed eight pounds
at birth and now weighs IA. He is

until 8 without a feeding. He has an
ounce of orange juice and Is drops of

What makes a small baby perspire
so when nursing? At what age can a
baby sit in high chair?"
Answer-The gain is good and the
orange juice and cod liver oil are
recommended. You need not give as
much as an ounce of juice yet, a.:
though If it does not cause unusual
bowel activity there is no harm in it
All babies perspire when nursing.
Why not? They are usually very
warmly dressed and while taking a
warm food huddled next to warm body
it is quite natural that they should
grow warm and perspire. At months
a well baby can support his back and
can then be put in chair for short
periods. Ordinarily / do not believe
in propping babies up in high chairs
and forcing them to sit erect; they
have quite enough of this when sitting
on the mothers lap or on the bed, and
then fall backwards when they grow
tired.

At last she was so close to 1t that she

osity was then! Her little heart
pounded with fright. You see, al.
though she didn't know it, she had
walked right up to the feet of Farmer
Browns Boy. He had seen her and
she would do. All the time he had
been chuckling down inside as he
watched her come nearer and nearer.

his shoe, he had stopped quickly to
pick her up.

right in front. They were biting teeth.
And when she made her jaws 60 up
and down very fast those teeth came
together with sound that might
have scared some people.
Farmer Browns Boy merely
laughed. He knew all about Wood
chucks. He wasn't afraid. "You
funny little thing" he cried. do you
think you can scare me that way?
You might scare some folks, but
not me-"
He reached down to pick up Little
Miss Curiosity, and this time she did
more than grit her teeth at him; she
made a quick snap at him. Yes, sir,
she snapped at that hand that was
reaching for her. She was spunky,
was Little Miss Curiosity. She knew
that this great giant could kill her If
he wanted to, but she didn't intend to
be killed without making a fight for
life.
Farmer Browns Boy withdrew his
hand just in time. Then swiftly he
passed it over her head and picked her
up. The moment she was in his hand
Little Miss Curiosity no longer wanted
to bite. She was no longer spunky.
Yet she couldn't have told you why.
Her little heart was still going thump,
thump, thump, thump with fright, yet
she had the feeling at the same time
that nothing very bad was going to
happen to her.
