Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Evaporated Milk.

Evaporated milk has come into promi-
nence within recent years because OF It's
advantages in feeding infants. 1t is
easy to obtain everywhere, is OF uniform
quality and because OF its sterilization
and heating the milk curds are very
fine and the fat is homogenized and not
easily separated out. Evaporated milk
is fluid unsweetened milk. and needs
only the addition of an equal quantity
OF boiled water to make it the equal of
fresh cows milk Because of its cook
ing 1t lacks some essential vitamins, but
these are replaced in the childs diet by
the use of orange or tomato juice. Good
dairy milk is impossible to obtain in
many communities, and evaporated milk
Is valuable substitute for it.
Use of Tactic Acid.
DR.. McKim Marriotts method of
utilizing evaporated milk with Tactic
acid is published in the s. 1tcmber, 1927,
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation. 1t is of extreme interest to all
mothers who are using this type of feed
ing because of its simplicity of prepara-
ton. In fact. 1t is so easy that any one
could do it successfully, one very good
reason for its adoption.
With this method one ounce of water
Is allowed for each ounce of evaporated
milk and 10 drops of acid for each
ounce of the evaporated milk or five
drops for each diluted ounce. Instead
of mixing the acid with the milk it is
first mixed with the water and the
corn sirup. This results in a mixture
Of water-acid and corn sirup which is
shaken together and kept in a covered
jar in cool place. At feeding time cor
before) the correct number of ounces OF
evaporated milk for one-half the entire
feeding is put in feeding bottle-ano
the other half of the feeding is made
up of the water-acid strip mixture. The
two are shaken together until vel
mixed, heated slightly and given to the

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
The Chastened.

Text-"Now no Christening for the
present seemeth to be joyous, but griev-
Gus; nevertheless afterward is yielded
the pcaceable fruit of righteousness unto
them which are exercised thereby
Hebrews kill.
why is it YOU have SO much trouble?
I have been watching you. Since you
joined the church and began to walk
square and seem to love everybody, you
have twice as many trials and accidents
as you had before. thought that when
a man gave himself to God his troubles
were over"
This question was put to a black
smith some eight years after he had
become a Christian by skeptic who
thought to discourage him.
With thoughtful but glowing face,
the blacksmith replied: do you see
this piece of steel? 1t is for the springs
of carriage. But it needs to be tenn
pered. In order to do this I heat it
red hot and then cool it with water. If
I find 1t will take a temper I heat 1t
again. Then hammer 1t and bend it
and shape it so it will be suitable for
the carriage. Often I find the steel too
brittle and it cannot be used. If so,
throw 1t on the scrap pile. Those
scraps are worth less than cent a
pound, but this carriage spring is valu-
able"
He paused and continued: God saves
us for something more than to have a
good time. That's the way 1 see it. We
have a good time, all right, for the smile

PRESIDENT WINS
OVER CONGRESS
Sustained on Every 0utStand-
ing Measure Involved in
Test for Leadership.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Coolidge has won his long
battle with Congress On every out
standing measure his leadership is
sustained and on the principal recon-
mendation Of his whole administra-
tion--namely, that the tax reduction
shall be approximately 1922, 900, ,000---
Congress has followed his advice.
The fact that Congress has not suff1-
cient votes to override a veto on the
Muscle Shoals bill, that there has been
an acceptance of his views on food
relief and that insurgent Republicans
joined with regular Republicans in put
ting the tax bill through the Senate
is more gratifying to the President than
any experience he has had with Con-
gress thus far.
Constant Strife Maintained.
For the record of Mr.. Coolidge with
Congress shows constant strife and as a
rule the Democrats by their coalition
with the Republicans have contributed
mostly to the sending of bills to the
President which he has felt compelled
to veto.
Mr.. Coolidge has always been much
more concerned with the economy and
budget policies of his administration
than any other. Had Muscle Shoals
Boulder Dam, the Columbia basin and
St. Lawrence waterway projects TO-
gether with the indeterminate amounts
in the food control bill been added tc

there never would have been a tax re-

Wind Up Proving Satisfactory.
The way in which Congress Is wind
ing up its work is giving the admins
tration much satisfaction, although
from a political viewpoint there would
have been more comfort If Congress
after receiving the McNary- -Haugen
veto, had offered an alternative meas
ure TO the President for signature. There
is reason to believe MFR. Coolidge would
have been persuaded to sign farm Dill

with some other changes made IN the
operations OF the proposed Federal

The Democrats are. on the other hand,

them and 1T would not be surprising to
see their platform outline farm relief

idea, While the two Democratic Sen
ators from New York voted tor the
