How Much Water,
Should BabyGet!
~AFamous Authority's Rule
by Ruth Britain

Baby specialists agree nowadays,
that during the first six months,
babies must nave three ounces of
fluid per pound of body weight
daily. An eight-pound baby, for in-
stance, needs twenty-four ounces of
fluid. Later on the rule is two ounces
of fluid per pound of body weight.
The amount Of fluid absorbed by a
breast fed baby is best determined
by weighing him before and after
feeding for the whole day; and it is
easily calculated for the bottle fed
one. Then make up any deficiency
with water.
Giving baby sufficient water often
relieves his feverish, crying, upset
and restless spells. If it doesn't, give
him a few drops of Fletcher'S Cas-
toria. For these and other ills of
babies and children such as collie,
cholera, diarrhoea, gas on stomach
and bowels, constipation, sour stom-
ech, loss of sleep, underweight, ETC.,
leading physicians say there's moth
ing so effective. 1t is purely vege-
table--the recipe is on the wrapper
and millions Of mothers have de-
pended on it in over thirty years of
ever increasing use. 1t regulates
baby's bowels, makes him sleep and
eat right, enables him to get full
nourishment from his food, SO he
increases in weight as he should.
With each package you get a book
on Motherhood worth its weight in
gold.
Just a word Of caution. Look for
the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher
on the package SO you'll be sure to
get the genuine. The forty cent
bottles contain thirty-five doses

CHAPTER XXI

THEY had happened upon the
Il place where Chiri was dining,
and Virginia had seen her as soon
as they entered the room.
She was sitting at a corner table
with a thin-faced, alert-eyed young
man who stared coldly at Nathaniel
when he and Virginia took seats
close by.
Chris presence annoyed Virginia.
Couldn't she ever see Nathaniel with
out having to come in contact with
this f1amboyant model?
Instantly she felt impatient with
herself for he thought. Chiri was
part of the world Mel belonged to.
Was she going to start interfering
with his life? She certainly did not
mean to.
Still the thought that Chiri repre-
sented something she did not like.
persisted in Virginias mind. But
what hao that to do with the feel
ing she had when she saw the girl
just now-the feeling of gratifica-
ton over Nie's expression Of his be-
lief in personal liberty?
Virginia worried over it until the
waiter brought the clam juice cock
tail. Then she put it out of her
mind to devote herself to being
agreeable.
She wanted to know about the
charcoal drawings on the wall and
Mel told her of the artists who had
frequented the place until fame had
come to them and they'd moved up
town.
Virginia sighed. "Why do artists
have to be poor?" she asked.
Because money makes so many
demands upon time and energy, and
creative art requires all that's in a
person if it is to amount to any
thing" Nathaniel replied earnestly.
But =. Virginia's remark
was interrupted by Chris coming
to their table.
Nathaniel started to rise, but she
pushed him back in his chair and
stood with an arm thrown carelessly
around his neck while she asked
him if he'd brought any of his Rus
sian cigarets along.
Nathaniel fished out a package
and handed it to her. She leaned
down quickly and planted a grateful
kiss on his forehead and then
started back to her own table. Her
companion glared at her.
Virginia was not any less dis
pleased, for Chris conduct had
served to answer her perplexing
question. She was becoming jealous
of this tempestuous creature. Afraid
of her, in fact.
That WAS why she was glad to
have a reason to give Mel for post
poning their wedding-a reason that
he had helped to build up. He would
have to agree now that every one
has a right to make sure of his own
strength, to prove his ability to
justify his existence before consent
ing to accept protection from an
other individual.
Virginia knew that If she had no
reason at all to give him Nathaniel
would question her love and .
that would be another girls chance,
if there was anyone to understand"
and sympathize with him when he
felt himself disillusioned.
She realized now that her IN
acknowledged dread of Chris in
fluence had prompted her to seek
this reason, to keep Nathaniel from
doubling her. But why Chiri?
There must be other girls he could
turn to.
Virginia glanced across the table
where Chiri, small face cupped in
her hands, blew smoke into the air
and smiled indifferently at the eager
young man who was talking to her
in low, excited tones, apparently ex-

THIS HAS HAPPENED

VIRGINIA BREWSTER, upon the sud
den death of her father, goes to live
with a friend, CLARISA DEAN, and her
father. Her fiance. NATHANIEL DAMN,
objects to this for he mistrusts DEANS
motives. Upon phOning NIEL'S studio
late one night, VIRGINIA is surprised
when his model, CHIRI, answers. This
causes a quarrel which is later mended.
Hoping to get MEL away, DEAN
arranges to have him offered a position
in San Francisco. MEL begs. VIRGINIA
to marry him and go west but she re-
fuses to let him sacrifice his art.
CLARISSA becomes jealous of VIR-
GINA. and the latter resolves to leave
but DEAN opposes her departure and
asks her to marry him. When she

GINA pledges to marry him il she

one of her rings and finds a quiet
hotel in which to live. She goes to
NIEL'S studio, but her joy at seeing
him is clOuded for she does not dare

takes her out TO dinner.

The comedy, it will be recalled,

To Make Two

and another on the program at
the Fox Theater this week that no
review can hope to do adequate
justice to all.

in evidence throughout the bill
to the delight of all.
Clifton and Brent scored heavily

bellisl1ed by d group Of is coryphees

Reproduction of an old haunted
English castle, such as one of
those famous historically as a
haunt for ghosts. was an amazing
feat of construction by studio ex-

ghosts and vampires were staged
by using famous stage illusions

ing them as they were performed.

Only Fairly Done
By, the Book
"A Free Soul
Bv HAROLD PHILLIPS


Three performances stand out
in "A Free Soul" opening yes
terday at the Belasco. This is
Willard Mack's stage version of
Adela st. Johns novel and it
seems that every one in the
lobby. save this correspondent,
had read the book.
Lester Lonergan gives an
amazingly fine study as a be-
sotted barrist yanked from his
cups to defend his daughters hus-
band: Kay Johnston is expertly
placed as that wilful daughter
looking for freedom at any cost,
and Melvin Douglas, a handsome
Young giant, is no weak third as
Ace Wi1fong, the gambler, with q
few square ideals in his make
up. In the hands of these three
rest such exciting moments Of the
play as Willard Mack has pro-
vided
"A Free Soul" holds your in
terest but it seems from TINS
corner that it is not skilfully
dran1atized. The courtroom scene
is clumsily contrived' and defeats
its own intent by twice hating
the dramatic continuity to darken
the stage, indicating a lapse or
time. IN drama this appears the
equivalent of not-bright motorist
getting 4. running start up the
Thirteenth Street hill, only to halt
anon in admiration of the view.
Lester Lonergan's distinguished
moments come during his address
to the jury, but his argument,
tensely as it is delivered, is in
geniously unconyincing, and the
Jury demonstrates its sappiness
by freeing the gambler killer; this
in face of police determination to
rid San Francisco of Ace Will
fong and the better side of the
population crying also for his
blood. Frank McGlynn. jr., as
the district attorney. rather ruins
this act with bad case OF stage
fright,
The story--if there's one of you
who hasn't read it--concerns q
youngster who has been her

critic since childhood. She has

Her definition of freedom EN-.
braces the privilege of travelling
with the seedier members of her
own set. and, after warning
which she disobeys, Ace W1lfonS
follows her to rendezvous and
kills her escort. Then, the trial.
Miss Johnston manages several
emotional moments with skill and
Yaturalness between the two
principal male characters, and
Ellen Dorr contributes some good
bits as a snippy younger sister
of Wilfong.

The Washington times., 1928-01-03

First, let it be said the cast
is without defect unless one re-
members that their own judg-
ments led the actors into this
piece Of psycopathic brine. The
fault is a professional one and
hereby laid at the thresholds of
Mr.. BeIasco and Mr.. Hurlbut.
1t is pleasant to recall some
high nervous stanzas in the
past from the Anglins, Kalichs
and Barrymores and the young
err Lords, Bradys and Merrills,
but it is too much to ask at
tendance on a three-ring circus
of emotional outbursts such as
the estimable Miss Merrill is
committed to.
The cast is limited to five
people and, naturally, Miss Mer-
rill's entrances are fairly FREE
quent and every entrance calls
for swoons and shrieks about
her physical starvations. She
does the job immensely well
but it seems that Uncle David
could do better by his newest
star. Before the third act I
was longing for new counte-
nance. even if it was the old ,
charwoman, engaged to dust off
the deserted Philip Meriyale's
apartment.
The theme is slushy, to begin
with. A youngster with NOR
bid sex-fixation lies about the
impulses of her brother-in-law,
breaks up that household, cap
lures him in mad split-second
of passion and, then ends her
life as the reconciliation of the
other two is taking place.
1t has been mentioned above
that the cast is very much
desirable one. Philip Merivale,
as the outraged husband, is
ideal in the lucid Gains of his
The Washington times., 1928-01-03

role and more so in his stormier
scenes. Miss Merrill works to
beat the band but couldn't out
drown the yawns yesterday af-
ternoon. Mary Morris doesn't
bleat about the plush so much
as her younger sister, though
she has her moments of dis
turbances. Altogether a quite
trying piece Of business for the
customers who paid amusement
taxes.
