How Much Water
Should Baby Get!
~AEamous A,Ithorftys Rule
by Ruth Britain
By Ruth Britain

Baby specialists agree nowadays,
that during the first six months.
babies must have three ounces OF
fluid per pound of body weight
daily. An eight pound baby, for
instance, needs twenty-four ounces
of fluid. Later on the rule is two
| ounces of fluid per pound of body
weight. The amount of fluid alb
sorbed 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 1t doesnt

Castoria. For these and other ills

collie, cholera, diarrhea. gas on stom-

stomach, loss of sleep, underweight,
etc, leading physicians say there S
| nothing so effective. 1t Is purely
vecetable-the recipe is on the
wrapper-and millions of mothers
have depended on it in over thirty
years of ever increasing use. 1t

An Authority on the Problems Of
Love and Marriage


There's a trite old saying, to
the effect that what is sauce for
l3khe goose is sauce for the
igander." This adage has influ-
anced many a girl and many a
wife in her attitude toward sweet
heart or husband.
But is the saying true? Or is
1T as false as that other equally
welLknown quotation, The course
OF true love, never yet ran

The proof OF anv theory is the
way 1t works. Docs the theory

I am thinking of young mar

who started out on the great ad-
venture very much in love with

marriage would succeed, let come
what might.
For a year or two all went
well. Then gradually the two
began to drift apart. Jim's work
kept him long hours away from
home. at his office, late at night.
His pretty secretary often worked
aate with him. Ills wife was not
3nterested in his work, because
ashe had never tried to understand
and keep in touch with its growth.
She was content rs long as the
profits were sufficient to buy all
the comforts and luxuries she
loved.
At last rumors reached Mary
that her husband was in love with
his secretary. She questioned
him. He laughed at the idea, but
refused to dismiss his efficient
assistant.
Mary was worried. puzzled, fu-
Tious.
I'll give him soTre of his own
medicine" she decided. There
are others who find me attractive,
if my own husband does not"
So 1t happened that very soon

his wife's open flirtations.
He questioned her. And her

YOUR CHILD
Grandchildren
From Disease

NOTHING 1rrlCateS me more
4 ' than to hear mother say,
Smiths have the whooping cough
or the measles, but I'm not going to
try to keep Johnny away because he
has to have those children's diseases
some time and it may as we'll be
now. The sooner the better"
Johnny doesn't need to have those
disease, and such statement from
any mother is ridiculous.
1t shows that she doesn't know
that every illness Johnny has, seri-
Gus or otherwise, takes away just
little bit more of Johnny's resist
ance, makes his organs just a little
less efficient, corrodeS his nerves
and affects his senses, so that the
sum total of Johnny's illnesses by
the time he reaches manhood will
spell his health capital and his
life expectancy.
He may seem to recover COM
pletely from the torturing days of
high temperature, and various con-
gestions, but anyone who argues
that he is better for having had
them, or that they are inevitable or
unacceptable, Is merely doing a bit
of guesswork without any founda-
ton whatsoever.
I have heard people say that
after typhoid fever, for instance, a
certain person was fatter and bet
ter than ever. Yes, APPARENTLY, only
to have ten or twenty years later
a gall bladder infection which real
ly was a direct aftermath of the
intestinal infection of the old dis
ease.
But go back to children's dis
eases, such as whooping- cough,
measles, mumps and all the others:
Parents not only should see that
their own children are kept from
other families who are infected, but
from other children in their own
households who are infected. If
possible, the other children should
be kept out of the house.
If child has whooping cough
or any other contagious disease and
is we'll enough to be out-of doors,
he should not be allowed to roam
over the streets or in other peoples
yards or sit on steps with other
children. He never should be taken
to movies.
A child with even a severe cold
should not be allowed to mingie
with other children. 1t may be only
cold for him, but the germ caught
from him, incubating in less
healthy child, may develop into a
head or lung affection that is really
serious.
For instance, sore throat may
be 1ncipient Scarlet-fever. It NAV
be so mild in one child that he is
not even put to bed, and the I'M
suspecting parent may never guess
that the notwithstanding redness
and slight indisposition that lasts
for day or two is really a case of
streptacoccus infection that may
spread a serious case of scarlet
fever to another child.
If children are sick, keep them
by themselves until they are bet
ter. Don't deliberately expose a
child to any disease-and certainly
not that curse Of childhood whoop-
ing cough-because you think he'll
get 1t anyway.
