Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
The Baby's Weight.
Mrs A p n writes.

Mrs. A. p. o. writes:
You are always so ready to help
babies, l wonder if you will be inter.
ested in hearing about my baby? She
weighed a bit over seven pounds at
birth and now weighs fourteen
pounds. two and a half ounces at five
months. How is that for gain?
Il feed her every three hours dur
ing the day. beginning at whatever
hour she wakens i'll the morning,
usually between and 8. She sleeps
all night long and has since one month
of age. She always wakes up laugh
ing and cooling.
'In addition to a 1Ominute breast
feeding, she gets ounces of formula

of boiled water and l tablespoonful of
maltese. l boil this mixture. Will /
have to boil it as long as she takes a

her up, but give her plenty of chance
to roll about and let her pull herself
up by her hands if this pleases her.
It's good exercise. 1t is not usual to
put baby in the tub until after the
navel is healed, for fear of wetting
the dressing and causing infection.
Otherwise tub bathing has no disad-
vantages. Your formula is fine. In
fact, everything is just the way it
should be.

variably interested in whether n tree

Some trees will require heavy prun-

green trees can be planted from
Spring to Fall. Deciduous trees are
most favorably planted in Spring or
Autumn. Unless there are abundant
rains all trees require plenty of

A Warm Weather Shampoo.

It's so very easy to shampoo and
dry your hair this sort of weather
that I'd suggest it as a good time to
begin shampoo treatments.
For instance, your hair is fair,
rather fair, that is. but not really a
gllnty gold as you'd like. During
these warm sunny weeks give your
self a lemon shampoo once each
week, doing your hair up while it is
wet in thin hair net and letting
the sun dry it in shape First
shampoo it with CASTLE soap which
you have shaved down and melted in
hot water until you have a thin
sirup. Wet the head all over, dip
on some soap sirup, lather, rinse. Re
peat, rinse, repeat a third time and
rinse. Let this last rinse be fairly
warm and squeeze into the water the
juice of one good sized lemon.
This lemon rinse, combined with
the sun bath the hair gets when drv-
ing, will make your hair shades and
shades more gold than it was. And
drying it in shape--that is, combing
it as you wear it while it is still
damp and then letting it dry so-will
keep it smooth and attractive until
time for it's next weekly bleaching
shampoo.
Another warm-weather treatment is

Buying Trees to Plant.

Few shopping expeditions eXcede in
interest those for the purchase of
trees to plant. One finds that buying
tree is like buying live pet. The
difference is that a tree requires
greater thought in selection: but 1t is
cheaper to feed" and it furnishes its
own shelter. Its life is almost with
out end. and it is a pet for gene
ratiOnS.
The tree one buys to plant should
be thought of in terms of the future.
Particularly one should bear in mind
such vital facts as height and width
The tree will expand in the years to
come, and there must be room for ex
pansion. One can trim trees, but
topping" a majestic tree practically
ruins 1t.
1t is especially desirable that one
consider the spread of certain trees

both opponents bidding, East considers
it better to rely on his hand to save
