Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Mrs. A. B. tr.. writes:

Mrs. A. B. jr.. writes:
az would like some advice about
my baby. He Is Az months old and
only weighs a little over pounds.
I nurse him and also give him a bot.
tie. l don't have any regular feeding
time. Do you think I should have?
HE doesn't sleep well at night and
wakes regularly every two or three
hours. The baby COOS and is active
and is getting tooth. Do you think
/ should use veil? / cover his face
with a blanket. / forgot to tell you
give him orange juice and cod liver
oil. Will you give me some advice?"
Answer--It seems quite terrible
that baby of Az months should
weigh no more than a new born baby,
and certainly indicates that more than
one thing Is wrong. OF course, en-
phatically, he should be regularly fed.
Your irregular system hasn't a leg
to stand on when its results are so
markedly disastrous. You did not tell
me what or how you are feeding the
baby but If you will send me a self
addressed and stamped envelope l
shall be glad to send you personal ad-
vice. Be sure and tell me the baby's
what he is being fed. / see no rea-
son at all why you should continue
breast feeding when it Is doing the
child no good. Also tell me If the
baby vomits after eating. / want to
be Of help, but you must help, too.
Don't use a veil ever or blanket
over his face. Do give the child a
chance to breathe.
Mrs. L. G. p, writes:
Ny baby is 26 months old and for
several months it has been impossible
to get her to take a nap. However,
she goes to bed at 6 pm. and sleeps
soundly until 6 or $50 and she does
not seem to be affected by her lack of
an afternoon nap.
Do you consider the II hours sleep
at one time as beneficial as 10 hours
at night and 2 in the day time?
VIII nervousness result from the lack
Of day time nap?'
Answer.-Ordinarily child does
better with 10 hours sleep at night
and a nap in the day time. mainly
because too many hours Of play make
the child so tired and cross that it
spells hts rest at night, also. In your
case the results seem to be all right
and when there is no harm resulting
there Is no use making the child irri-
table over nap. / should handle
the situation this way: Do not ask her
to take a nap, but merely to lie down
and let you read to her. II she has
this period of rest, even if she doesn't
sleep, she will be better for it, and
who knows but that she may go back
to mapping again.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WlNIFRED stuart GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

How one thing does dovetail into
another. When we think of food. the
first connection that comes to our
mind may be that Of fashions In food,
customs that dictate what foods shall
be served and when and how. There
is another aspect of this relationship.
however. How many of US stop to
think that food may actually affect
fashions in figures and in frocks?
For a long time there has been
heard in the land a feminine wall re-
garling excessive avoirtlupois. Won.

pound over and there Is misery;
pound undel and we hear chuckleS
of JOY.
Luckily for the health of the hui
man race. however, there is current
in the land hint that the craze for
a matchlike Silhouette is waning.
Various publications are beginning to
discuss the matter seriously, the wom-
ems clubs are beginning to take up
the question for future study, and 1t
is perhaps a safe prediction to say
that in the years from now the normal
figure will be more nearly in fashion
tior.
Meanwhile. what about diet? TO
put it in q nutshell everything about
diet. For without proper diet this
normal feminine figure will never be
regained. The pleasant thing about
this diet, however, is that it Is normal.
There need be no scrimping here and
there. All we have to do is to apply
ourselves diligently to the task of find.
ing out just what we should eat and
then eat 1t.
For this matter of constructing a
normal diet for a normal individual
is. comparatively speaking, simple.
If the normal individual has fresh
or stewed fruit for breakfast followed
by a cereal, If he likes it--but not il
he doesn't-and two or three slices
of buttered toast or two buttered rolls
with an egg occasionally, his morn
ing Is likely to he all right.
The normal luncheon gives a rather
wide range OF choice, for 1t may have
either a vegetable soup or a hot baked
vegetable dish, or salad as it's chief
attraction. With plenty of bread and
butter, fruit pudding and a glass
Of milk one more normal meal has
been achieved.
AS for dinner, clear soup, II there
has been none at luncheon, with a
moderate serving Of meat, at least
two vegetables, a green salad and a
fruit or frozen pudding, and the day
is rounded out we'll. The keynote
from breakfast to bedtime has been
that Of normally.
In short, whether we are especially
interested in weight or not, the one
word. normal, may we'll sum up for
us the beginning and the end OF our
story of diet.

Hugh scowled. He wasn't feeling
cheerful this morning. Back of his

stomach wiggled every now and then
as If million gold fish were swim

CHAPTER XXXVII.
The Storm

1t was rather exciting to handy
words with Mark across the luncheon
table, to fiutter her eyelashes at him
as she always did when she wanted to
make an impression and yet hardly
cared whether she did or not.
1t was so absurdly easy to make an
impression on men. Doubtless even
staid. somber, old Mark was already
half in love with her: not seriously, of
course. But he certainly had been
stirred when he had caught her in his
a Irritation with him? After all, it
wasn't as if there were anything else
to do in this forsaken wilderness.
Mrs Morse appeared with boiled
apple pudding smothered in a delec-
table sauce. JeSSiCa attacked it with
gusto, but before she had finished her
portion Mark looked up from his plate
and spoke to her. His tone was crisp
and COOL his look quite steady.
IF you will excuse me, l have an
errand to attend to. Please amuse
yourself as you like. There are some
books on that shelf in the corner. I
hope you'll be able to find something
you haven't read, although they aren't
new by any means"
AS he finished he rose from the
table and strobe from the room.
Outside she heard the car thrill into
action. and then the steady, rhythmic
throb Of 1t as he turned it into the
road and drove off. Where was he
going? He might at least have asked
her to go with him. OF course. he
knew that by leaving her alone he
would be compelling her to spend a
stupid, boring afternoon. AS long as
he had brought her up to this terrible
place, he might at least amuse her.
She lighted a cigarette and strolled
over to the book shelf Deliberately
ignoring the slim books of poetry. she
finally chose a detective story and re-
tired into her room. But the book
could not hold her. 1t was just like
all the other detective stories she had
ever read.
A house party and a mysterious
murder, with the body discovered by
one of the servants early the follow
ing morning. She knew already what
was ahead Of her. There would be
absurd clues and suspicion would point
first to one person and then another.
The local authorities would take
charge and then finally in the last
chapter but one a famous detective
from the city would be called in to
solve the problem. His method was
always the same, too. Having made
all his deductions, he would call all
the suspects before him and then, just
at the crucial moment, the guilty per
son would pun out a little bottle of
poison and swallow it at one draught.
Just to prove her point, she turned
to the back of the book and with a
grin followed by little moue of dis
gust she flung the book from her and
with her hands behind her head went
