Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDREp.

When you see mother offer = bot
tie Of milk to child well over one year
Of age. we feel as if she has fallen very
far behind in her knowledge of what
should be done for the child. The child
past one year Of age is quite capable of
taking his milk by cup and If he isn't
this mother is remiSS in her training.
She should understand that this is all a
natural part of the child's develop
ment. He can't grow up If she is going
TO let him remain baby.
Getting the year-old baby to take a
cup after he has been taking a bottle
for such a long time, isn't always an
easy proposition The baby wants his
familiar bottles. He is used to a manner
of feeding that is endeared to him by
months of use. When he attempts to
drink from a cup it comes too fast, he
chokes or 1t spills all over him. because
he is still inept at taking small swal-
lows. Sometimes he simply pushes the
cup away and won't even try, but con-
tinues to whine or scream for his
"ba-ba."
1t is difficult for the mother to know
how to act. She feels that his milk is
SO much more important than the man.
ner in which he drinks 1t. This would
be a correct policy if under its admin
istration the baby continued to prog
resS, and inevitably arrived at the stage
when he would accept a cup. But the
very opposite happens. He clings more
and more firmly to his bottle, refuses
solid food in favor of it, and at two
years Of age is more of bottle addict
than he was at one year. Sometimes a
badly under-nourished baby is the
result.
The time to begin cup feeding is
when the baby is able to sit up. At
first he will press his head lightly into
much. Very soon he will get the trick
of it. 1t will help If his first cup or
glass is not much larger in diameter
than his familiar bottle. Then he can
clasp his hands about it in substan-
TALLY the same manner as when he holds
a bottle Mother can help tip 1t so that
he only gets little milk at time. II
he happens to gulp hastily and begins
to choke, don't give baby the idea that
anything frightening has happened.
Pat his back, give him few spoonfuls
of water and Immediately afterwards
offer the cup again.
When the child is starting cup feed
ings, only part of each feeding, perhaps
only a few swallows should be given by
cup. The rest may be given by bottle.
Gradually increase the amount by cup.
If his experiences are pleasant, II he
feels himself initiating his elders by
draining his cup and wins praise and
smiles from them for so doing he will
find this grown-up game delightful to
play.
Scolding, teasing and forcing de-
stroy his pleasure in drinking by cup.
He must feel that it Is a great privi-
lege to be allowed to have a cup, and
not q punishment.

Famous Woman Bosses of History
Clode, Queen of Franks, Converted Whole Nation to
Christianity
J. p.

Clotilde, Princess Of Burgundy, has
gone down In history as the woman who

Her father, King Chilperic Of Bur-
gundy, and her two brothers had been
murdered by her uncle. Gondebaud, who
seized the throne and held Clotilde at
his capital, Geneva, practically priS-

While she meditated on her wrongs,
hoping for q just vengeance, Clovis I,
King Of the Franks, heard of her beauty
and goodness and thought to make her
his wife.
But first he sent an emissary, dis

And We women are in the van of the

Women are opening their eyes to
what is going on In the world and
even II they behold no more than what
man has viewed for centuries, the
whole thing Is new to them. It looks
like one grand Whoopee. The signs of
this awakening on the part Of woman
are everywhere.

So much have we become accustomed
to the new line that when We put on a
last seasons dress we feel convinced
that it must have shrunk. 1t looks SO

Often the length Of the new daytime

treatment of the hem, and one of the
most effective ways of doing this is by
means of the short knife pleated ruffle,
which adds the length demanded by

to be the tail of the kite. There have
been times when secretly wished that
my wife had never been born with a
talent. Having one, I am glad she has
made such marvellous use Of it. She
doesn't need money, for I earn enough
to take care of my family. Most men,
whether financially able or not, prefer
to be the sole support Of wife. One
thing gets my goat. That's when the
wife and I go to social functions and
the hostess says, oh, this is Mrs.

A comparatively young couple lives in
beautiful home situated in the coun-
try. Before they were married the hus-
band was popular night hawk. He
had two tuxedo suits, one which he
kept at his Office and the other in his
bachelor quarters. Thus he could save
time If a party was suddenly proposed.
His father, a wealthy man, had set
him up in business. Because of his
popularity the business prospered after
a fashion. His stock was stored in q
four-story building Of ancient construc-
ton. Each day for several months the
father inquired If the son had obtained
fire insurance. The answer was usually
evasive or a confession that he had
not done so. In the early hours of a
certain Winter morning the building
and all its contents were leveled to the
ground in ashes. The loss was enor-
nous and the father was so incensed
that he ordered his son from home and
refused to contribute another cent.

The young man doesn't know, how
ever, that his father has since relented
and will leave him fortune in excess
of his wife's.
During the past 10 years women have
achieved what their parents and grand
parents would have regarded as impos-
Sible. In Washington alone are women
who have builded national and even
international regulations in their par
ticular lines of endeavor. The list is SO
long that 1t would require a column of
space. Woman physicians vie with their
medical husbands In q nearby city
dentist married a woman physician
who Is now conceded to be one of the
most skillful of her sex. Their Offices
are situated in different parts of town,
and each has a clientele unknown to
the other.
It Is said that a wife inspires her
husband. Frequently the husband in
spires wife. For many years a team
toured a string of vaudeville houses.
The husband was his wife's accom-
PIANIST. The act was a riot and 40
weeks booking was theirs each year.
They were never apart of or on the
stage. One day the husband was sud-
denly stricken with an illness and a
few hours later died in a bleak hotel
room, with his wife at the bedside. In
an effort to forget her grief the lady
employed another pianist. At each per-
Torrance, though, she saw the phantom
of her husband at the piano. Choking
her emotions, she carried on for a
short time and then retired from the
stage. Since her retirement, she has
devoted her time to the aid of unfor-
tunate stage players. Such, sometimes,
is a husbands inspiration.

DIET AND HEALTH

BY ROBERT CULLEN.

Simple catarrh would not cause an
odor such as you complain of, Mrs. Y.
Infected sjnuSes with dammed-up, de-
composing mucus and pus will give an
exceedingly bad odor, but you evidently
are not SO afflicted.
1t is possible the odor you complain
OF is what it smells like, Mrs. va dead
rat. Not infrequently rats may die in
between partitions, and the odor from
their decomposition is very terrible and
penetrating. Report it to your landlord,
and If he doesn't have it investigated,
report it to your health department.
In new apartment hotel that I was
living in at one time we had bad odor
which was finally traced to the con-
cealed hot-water pipes in the bathroom.
They were leaking, and the decomposing
asbestos caused the odor. Which shows
you you can't get away from such
troubles occasionally, even in modern
dwellings.
Bad odors, in themselves. will not
cause disease-unless, of course, they
should be so intense and prolonged that
the disagreeable sensations they pro-
duced finally got on the nerves, de-
pressed the appetite. etc, and in that
way lowered the resistance.

One mother says:
Sometimes when the children are
restless and fretful and you are all on
edge, try having an indoor outing. Dress
the children and yourself in warm
clothes and open all the windows wide.
If there is a baby, tuck him snugly into
his carriage with plenty of blankets.
Let the children romp about or perform
tasks suited to their capacities. Go on
with your sweeping, busting and clean
ing, If that is the order of the day, and
at the end of about a quarter Of an
hour close the doors and windows.
You will find yourself refreshed and
the children gay and rosy instead OF
fretful. Without interruption to your

Your Fingernails.

There is no excuse for the fingernails
to look old, ugly or neglected. You can
keep them nice looking no matter how
hard you work; even If you scrub floors
1t is quite easy to smear the ends OF
your fingers with petroleum. or lard
and to put on rubber gloves. You will
scrub just as thoroughly, and you will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
the grease around the nails can do
nothing but good.
At some convenient time during the
day reshape the nails with an emery
board. If you notice any stains, wrap
a piece of cotton around an orange
wood stick, using either lemon juice or
any cuticle solvent; go round the edges
of the nails and under them. Then
scrub the nails with soap, hot water
and a small brush and clean under
them. II there are any loose bits of
skin this will bring them up so they
can be clipped with cuticle scissors. II
any rough skin collects at the corner
Of the nails 1t can be clipped on then
also.
only two more things are needed to
make the nails perfect for the day. One
is to rub a little cold cream around the
cuticle and the other Is to polish them

have nothing to say against enamels.

quick, brilliant tinted luster they pro-
duce, but for permanent use am all
against them. It Is far better to polish
the nails with channels padded buffer
The friction of this stimulates the nails
and keeps them young looking and In
good condition while it polisheS them.
A paste or powder polish must be used,
but none of these harm the fingernails.
This is very thorough daily mani
cure. Some days you will need nothing
except the very briefest reshaping with
file, Scrubbing, cleaning and q quick
polish. AS the nails should always be
rubbed with cold cream every night, the
cuticle should stay smooth and should
need only pushing back with an
orarigewood stick.
