Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRKD.

There is a tendency on the part of
most mothers to overemphasize the ef-
fects of teething. That Is bad thing,
for it makes teething the goat" for
most of the ailments of childhood. We
must realize, however, that even healthy
babies do show some temporary upset
during the actual eruption period, and
the weaker child may have a real
illness.
In the moment after the mother dis
covers the sharp little edge of the
tooth she Is very apt to say: Don't
you remember how upset Bobby was
last week? He wouldn't drink all his
milk and woke up and cried so many
times ut night. didn't think of 1t
then, but the poor little fellow was
probably cutting these teeth"
Sometimes there are more noticeable
symptoms-some fever or more than
the usual number Of bowel movements
or a noticeable loss of appetite.
When baby isn't hungry don't force
him to eat. Give him fewer feelings
a day and weaken those. Shake I'D the
bottle, pour off an ounce or two of for
mula and fill up the deficit with boiled
water Cut down on the amount Of
sugar baby gets If he is vomiting or
the bowels are loose. If he is nursing,
give him boiled water before each nurs-
ing. Help his stomach by tightening
the load instead of trying to wheedle
more food into him and making him
sick. Mothers have to get over the
idea that baby is going to dry up and
blow away if he misses a meal or two.
Sometimes it is very good for him.
To soothe his sore and irritable
mouth, there is nothing better or more
harmless than Just ice water rubbed on
with piece Of absorbent cotton. Or
mother can wrap her finger in sterilized
gauge and dip that In the Ice water and
rub the gums. Baby will accept this
gratefully. A nice, clean rubber ring
or O piece Of orris root (soft woody will
give him something to bite down on
hard. Never give soothing sirups or
paregoric or rub the gums with thin
bles. The gums part and let the tooth
through when it Is ready: 1t doesn't
have to be rubbed" through.
II baby has a convulsion and high
'fevers, make up your mind his diet is
poor. Perhaps he has been nursed too
long, and thus lacks the elements that
will make teething an easy process.
Blame the diet, not the teething, for
that. II baby's teeth are slow In COM
ing In. blame the diet again.

Focus Of Infection.

Just what Is q septic focus" or
sfocus of infectiona" It Is q center
Of activity for germs. indus. nest
where the germs grow and multiply.
Very well, then, II that were all 1t
wouldn't matter so much, provided the
germs selected some out-of-the-way
place to set up housekeeping. But that
isn't the half Of 1t, as a lot of our
older readers know from experience
We shall Just call it experience and
hope it has not been sad experience in
too many instances.
The trouble with this septic focus
business is that the germs are likely to
become cocky, especially IT, they are of
the Streptococcus tribe. and stage out
breaks from the reservation. The host
has no assurance that the germs will
confine themselves to the focus, say in
the tonsil, and no warning when they
are about to break out and perpetrate
Q raid on the lining of joint far from
the home focus, or maybe the lining
Of the heart in the neighborhood OF
Likely as not these excursions will
be so quietly conducted that the host
will remain unaware of the disturb
ance until the rheumatism begins to
obtrude upon his consciousness, or he
discovers that his heart, like the old
gray mare, amt what she used to be
when he happens to run to catch the
e:12 train some morning.
It Is no wonder that we doctors are
% firm about the Importance Of clear
ing UP septic focus whenever we dis
cover one in the course of health
examination or q casual once-over. Yes,
to be sure, it's all guess work, and we
make no bones of that-not now.
OF course, we had to be pretty posi-
tive or arbitrary about it at first, in
order to get folks into the habit of
having their septic foci cleaned up,
Just on the chance that IL might be
causing whatever seemed to all 'em.
But now, after nearly 20 years of it,
the public Is not at all obstinate or
unreasonable about giving up tonsil
or two or few teeth just to see
whether. And the best doctors, say,
make no bones about such experiments,
even IL the hoped-for gains fail to
materialiZe in half the cases.
The doctors concede that such fall
sires are Just too bad, but they don't
cry crocodile tears about 1t, for they

can always turn for consolation and
cheer to the other half Of their prac-
tice. in which the hoped-for results Of
removal of septic foci are realized.
Several months ago I feared was
developing a touch of rheumatism In
one knee. ! believe referred to 1t
here. But 1t no longer annoys me,
thanks, believe, to reasonable modi-
f1cation of diet. I've been trying wee
speck of my own medicine-the cor
receive, protective regimen. II any
reader wants to follow such regimen
I'll be glad to send full particulars and
directions on receipt of request in
closing a stamped, addressed envelope.
I mention the matter here merely to
indicate that ] am by no means COM
mitted to the belief that all arthritis
or Joint trouble is due to q septic
focus, and my views are very much the
same as those Of the majority Of ply
sicians about that.
But suppose you are fairly satisfied
YOU have q focus of infection In o
tonsil. Must you have the tonsils re-
moved? Not necessarily. In O good
many instances the septic focus In
the tonsil may be cleared up thorough
ly and promptly and painlessy by
diathermy-provided your doctor or
throat specialist is equipped TO give
such treatment.

Wants to Reduce.

DEAR MISS LEEDS-(1) I am IT..
am s feet 8 inches tail and weight 1923
pounds. I am small-boned. Can you
tell me how can bring my weight down
to 1870?
(2) For the last year my hair has
grown very greasy and has become very
thin. Also my skin Is very dry and
rough. Can you advise me what to do
In regard to this? SEVENTEEN.
Answer-(D Don't do 1t. At your
age being Just little overweight is far
better than being one pound under
weight and, a. q matter Of fact, I
shouldn't consider that 1913 pounds for
you Is overweight. I imagine you are
Just "pleasingly plump" OF course,
there is no harm In going without rich
desserts. You may 60 without pies,
cakes, puddings or ice cream and say
"No, thanks" to sundaes or sodas of
any kind for while. But please don't

Many business women do not have
an opportunity during working hours
to form the sort Of contacts which are
valuable to them in their work.
Their own time may be occupied or
be employed by others. or they may
find it difficult to obtain time IN places
and with people which might prove
profitable to them.
The business luncheon Is their chief
resort, and it can be made valuable
one. It not only permits one to con-
verse more at ease and with less for
mality but 1t also affords one chance
to contact" people who otherwise could
not spare time.
The business luncheon itself may be
a success or failure, depending on what
use one makes Of 1t. For example, II
Of social gossip or personalities, 1t may
be wasted.
On t. other hand, it may be used
as O time and place at which ideas can
be exchanged, facts presented, oppor-
tunitieS uncovered, situations clarified,
and sympathetic understanding gained.
1t depends on ones self as to how
the luncheon shall progress and what
may become of 1t.
A good deal depends, of course, on
the luncheon mates one selects and

We should not like to give the i'm
preston that woman should regard a
luncheon place as a salesroom or at
tempt to impose in any way on friends
or acquaintance by obligating them
via lunch.
If one only arouses interest, she has
made her business luncheon pay, and
whether or not she collects on 1t win
depend on her subsequent action. It
Is an opportunity to make herself,
her ideas, her activities, her products,
her aims and all else known. 1t Is an
opportunity to present them at a ia
vorabie time and place. 1t is a place
to Advertise" not to sell. The clever
ness and adroitness with which she ad-
vertises, however, will affect the chances
of her making the sale"

Attractive House Dresses
By MARY MARSHALL.

were displayed by the models 1t was
difficult to believe that they were house
dresses at all. Many of them might
have been chosen for sports or Sum-
mer resort wear.
There was a trinity fitted short.
sleeved dress Of pastel blue pique ana
a sleeveless dress Of green and white
cotton print with crisply pleated or
candle at the neck. Those Of Shantung
silk especially appealed to me, though
their price was amazingly reasonable.
One reason that house dresses now
adays have such an air Of snartness
is that they are inspired by II not
actually copied, from dresses designed
for sports wear.
With the present revived interest In
more feminine fashions has come re"
vival of hand embroidery as trimming
for Summer dresses. Simple but efiec-
tive cross and running stitches are
used to finish collars, sleeves and belts
and to form small panels In blouses and
skirts. If you would like to know how
to make some of the simplest and most
effective of these stitches send your
stamped, self-addressed envelope to

directions will be mailed to you.
