Ship De Sotos
By Trainload

For the second time in the past
two weeks, solid trainload of De
Soto ears has arrived in Southern
California, according to information
received by the Inland Motor Com
pany, valley distributors for De
Sotos.
Trainload shipments have become
necessary, the local representatives,
are advised, because of the tremend-
Gus demand for De Soto which has
prevented any accumulation of
stock.
Shipments are made direct from
the factory to the coast for distribu-
tion to the various dealers. The In
land Motor Company will receive Il
portion of the trainload to fill or
ders which have been received here.

NOTRE DAME IS
RECOGNIZED AS
NATIONS BEST
United Press Ranking
Places Irish Ahead OF
All Others.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. .. U.H-The
nations three outstanding football
teams for 1929 are Notre Dame,
Pittsburgh and Purdue.
Notre Dame has slightly the bet
ter claim to the mythical national
championship by winning nine con-
secutive games against major oppon-
ents. all of them away from home.
There were several soft spots in
the schedules Of Pittsburgh and Pur-
due, especially the latter, whose
schedule was perhaps the easiest
in the Big Ten.
The United Press ranks the lead
ing elevens of the country as fol
lows:
1-Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Pur-
due.
2-Tulane, st. Mary's (Califor-
MAJ, Tennessee, Fordham, Texas
Christian, Western Maryland.
3-Sonthern California, Southern
Methodist, Stanford, Colgate. Cali
fornia, Illinois, Davis 4 Elkins,
Nebraska, Kentucky, University of
Utah.
4-Minnesota, Iowa, Northwest
ern, Army, Yale, North Carolina,
Dartmouth, Navy, Harvard, Penn
sylvania, Michigan.
In the south Tulane is urbeaten
and united. but the "Green Wave"
hasn't a single outstanding victory
10 its credit. Tulane's major vie
tories were over Texas Aggies,
Georgia and Georgia Tech, each
beaten several times.
Although tied by Kentucky, Ten
nessee's record is virtually on a par
with Tulane's record. Tennessee has
beaten Alabama and Vanderbilt,
two strong southern teams.
On the far coast st. Mary's is
the outstanding eleven, with only a
scoreless tie against California early
in the season to mar its record and
notable victories over the Olympic
club, Santa Clara and Oregon.
Fordham and Western Maryland,
in addition to Pitt, are unbeaten in
the east. but Fordham has been tied
by West Virginia and Davis &
Elkins, while Western Maryland's
only notable victory was over
Georgetown.
Texas Christian has the best rec
ord in the southwest with nine
straight victories ana ~ tie
against Southern Methodist.
The University of Utah is the
Rocky Mountain regions best team,
without defeat or tie to mar its
record.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Interested reader writes-"I come to
you, like so many others, for advice.
My baby boy is 2 months old and Is
q bottle fed baby. How much should
he weigh at this age? How much water
him take water. Should it be warm
or Is 1t alright to give it cool? What
can do to make him gain? Should
give him sunbaths?"
Answer-His present weight Is entire
" dependent on his birth weight. The
average baby takes 10 days to get back
to his birth weight, after which he gains
from to ounces weekly. Sometimes
there is week or two Of no gaining
after being started on an artificial food.
but he usually makes up this loss when
type of food.
He gets a great deal Of water in his
formula and as you gave me no proper
lions for his formula, can't tell you
whether he gets enough or not. Water
may be given either warm or cool.
Cool is more appetizing, as warm water
Is nauseating.
The only way he can be made" to
gain Is to give him formula that Is
suited TO his age and weight and also
the additional foods as the age for them
arrives. shall be happy to send you
leaflet on feeding that deals with
these matters In detail. You may find
there that his present formula isn't
nourishing enough.
This Winter he will need sunbaths
daily and it Is best to start them now
and keep them up after the weather
turns cooler. In addition, he will need
cod liver oil all Winter, as 1t Is this
first Winter Of baby's life. spent IN
the house without much air or sun
light on the skin, that so often results
in ricketts,. Babies who spend their
early months in the Summer season
are much less apt to develop this.
Mrs. T. G. J. writes-"My baby Is 10
months old and has been fed exclusively
on Tactic acid milk. Now that Winter
Is coming would like to change to
sweet milk How can do this without
danger to his digestion?"
Answer-There are two ways in which
this change may be accomplished. Each
morning when making up the baby S
formula take out drop Of acid. This
can be increased to two drops a day
and in a months time or less the acid
will have been extracted from the FORM
ula and sweet milk used entirely.
Or. one may offer sweet milk FORM
ula at one meal day and Tactic acid
ones at all the rest. In q week offer
two sweet milk feeding and so on until
baby Is used to the sweet milk. Either
change would be gradual enough 50
that there would be no danger attached
to 1t.
