SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Brice Belden-

YOU, If a really fortunate
mother, will have no diff
Guilty in properly feeding your
baby. You will feed him, or her.
from your breast and that will
be the end of your trouble in the
selection of food.
But. even then, there are some
things you ought to know and
remember in the discharge of this
great responsibility. The first of
these facts, the great funda-
mental fact, is that in the early
feeding of your baby you in a
large measure are dealing with
the health and efficiency of that
baby's adult life.
The best way of preventing
digestive troubles i'm later life is
to ensure the development of
robust and well-disciplined dlges-
tive system during the period of
it's most active evolution; that is
to say, during the first and Sec
ond years of life. Natural feed
ing, If properly managed and
carried out, ensures the normal
development Of the digestive tract
during the most important period
of all; that is, during the first
nine months Of life.
Ii artificial feeding has to be
substituted for natural feeding. it
should aim at producing similar
results by means of a milk diet
modified SO as to resemble as
accurately as possible the mothers
own milk. The moment that this
milk diet is relinquiShed for the
hi Oh h1
given at or about the time that
the first teeth are cut. new diff
tlculties and dangers Immediately
present themselves.
Up to this time baby had no
carbohydrate" food other than
sugar. Now he has to learn how
to change starch into sugar for
himself. This is a most neces-
sary and important accomplish
ment, for starch i'm some form or
another will in future be the
main article of his diet, and
starch as it is can do nothing in
the way of providing him with
energy; it must all be changed
into sugar by his own natural
processes. Moreover he has to
learn how to chew solid food
and how to deal with roughage
or ballast from vegetable fiber,
that essential digestible part OF
the diet which will provide him
with a solid basis for his mo-
tons
While baby is being fed on
milk, explains Eric Pritchard, the
basis of his motions is insoluble
soap. This means that there
must be a generous allowance OF
fat in his diet all this time--an
allowance amply provided for by
milk

ing that our union with this other
human is going to iron out all
the kinks and give us that peace,
poise and punch which we have
always desired but never attained.
And if the miracle doesn't come
off We blame marriage and decide
that We haven't picked the right
mate.
AS a matter of fact, our choice
of a mate has comparatively little
to do with it. The fault lies with
us--ourselves. The very qualities
which made us futile and fretty
before marriage are making us
futile and fretty after marriage.
And they'll keep right on making
US futile and fretty, regardless of
our mates, until we remedy them.
We expect too much of marriage
and of the people we marry. Mar
rage isn't a mysterious expert
ence. operating under an occult
schedule. Marriage is just part of
life and it is governed by the
same laws which govern every
other department of life. And the
people we marry are Just-people.
They were people before we mar
ried them and they remain people
after we marry them. They do not
suddenly become endowed with SUI
perhuman understandings and
powers for our convenience. They
do not magically merge with our
psyches like a dose of spring tonic.
And if we expect them to, we're
1ust out of luck. They remain
themselves just as we remain
ourselves and we've no right to ex-
pect anything else.
But for all that, marriage is a
great little game. AS youn know
if you ever come home lonely and
tired of a night to an empty room.
For even If your partner can't
read your mind or revamp your
soul, he can hold your hand down
the winding trail of the years.
And that. I'm thinking, is about
as rare a comfort as any mortal
could desire.

There Are No Perfect Mates
By Elsie Robinson

r OIS has fallen in love, and she
IL wants to know how she can
be sure that the young man is

You can't be sure. Lois. For
there's no such thing as a perfect
mate. There's no mysterious
alchemy which binds one soul to
another to the exclusion of all
other souls. The woods are full
of nice men you might marry and

MARITAL HAPPINESS DOES

THEN GETTING ALONG.
This, Of course, won't be popu-
lar theory. 1t won't be a popu-
lar theory because it implies a
lot of hard work and self-re-
straint. It's much jollier to think
that God has prepared partner
peculiarly suited to our needs, a
partner whose love will smooth
every pebble from our path, than
it is to believe that we've got to
do our own smoothing. But
sooner or later we must face the
grim fact that, search as We will,
there are no affinities. There are
simply a number of ordinary
human beings whose PERSONAL
ties are more or less adapted
to ours. And if we don't hap
pen to get Bessie or Bill we can
probably be just as happy with
Alice or AL. Provided, as | said

But there's the rub. Some of
us have learned how to achieve
happiness and some of us haven't.

NEGOTIATIONS

WASHINGTON. D. c..
SEPTEMBER IL, 1923
BY Helen Rowland

Fair Play in Love and Marriage
NPoRTSMANSHIP is the first
- thing which men demand in
prize fight, a ball game or game
of cards-and the-last thing which
most of them remember in the
game of love.
Sportsmanship is something
which very few women have prac-
ticed-among women. but when
many women have carried to the
point of martyrdom in matrimony.
Yet. sportsmanship is as essen
tial between the sexes in friend
ship. in love, in a ballroom and in
a crowded street as in the prize
ring or on the battlefield.
A woman is poor sport"
when she takes advantage of
mans shyness in a department
store to edge in ahead of him and
get served out of her turn.
A man is a poor sport" when
he takes advantage Of a woman's
delicacy by showing past her IN
the subway rush.
A woman is a poor sport" when
she smilingly slips in front of
long line of waiting men at
ticket-seller's window.
A man is a poor sport" when
he spreads himself and his news
paper over two seats in a street
car-when he paid for only one.
craftsmanship is what makes
man admit that he is beaten in
an argument, and a woman own
that she was wrong in quarrel.
craftsmanship is what makes a
woman scorn to rule a man by
shedding crocodile tears and a man
scorn to conquer a woman by
brute force.
Sportsman ship is what makes
one woman refrain from poaching
on another woman's love-preserves
by making herself too charming
to the others man; and makes a
man refrain from flirting with
woman when he sees another man
seriously trying to win her.
Sportsmanship is what prevents
a woman from taking advantage
of a mans chivalry by asking him
to do something which she has no
right to demand.
Sportsmanship is what prevents
man from taking advantage Of
a woman's selfish devotion by re-
quiring of her some sacrifice which
