Your Baby and Mine


It takes time and infinite patience to
teach child new way of doing any
thing. Teaching child to drink by
cup discourages mothers because they
expect instant success. Baby may ac-
cept cup willingly, or he may turn up
MS nose at it and cling to his beloved
bottle, endeared by habit and pleasure
abe experience. This is no excuse for
mother to sit down and say despair
ingly, 81 can't get my baby to take
cup"
Mrs: j. B. is becoming discouraged too
early IN the game when she says: MY
DaDy Will soon be a year old. She
weighs FL pounds and is healthy. She
will not drink milk from a cup, though
she takes orange juice and water will
1ngly. AS soon as she discovers the cup
contains milk she refuses it. I give her
two bottles now, one after lunch and
the other after her dinner at night.
feel she needs these when she won't
drink milk by the cup. Please send me
your feeding leafiet and also the leafiet
on how to teach child to drink by
cup"
I should be only too happy to send
you the leaflet desired but you failed to
sign either name or address, which, you
must admit, is an insurmountable ham
dicap. II you were alone in this I'd be
happy. but readers ask for leaflets and
sign their letters with couple OF mi
tials. Then I'm sure, they say later, 1T
wrote for her lesHets but she didn't
answer me-" A stamped, self-addressed
envelope (full address, not "city or
local") will bring you any of the leaflets
offered frequently through this column.
Will you send me one, Mrs. ]. B.?
Meanwhile keep on as you are doing
now. Put cup near baby at the table
and play tea party with her. Let her
pour the milk from dolls tiny tea
pot into a dolls cup. Let her pour one
for you, too. and both drink it solemn
~. Make a game Of drinking from a
cup, not horrid duty because you say
"Now drink your nice milk" If baby
doesn't take readily to the game push
the cup slightly out of reach. Say
nothing about It, If baby tries to drink
and spills some milk, don't say Naughty
baby, getting herself all wet" because
being a naughty baby when she drinks
out of cup turns baby against the way
she is drinking and keeps her attached
to the old bottle that doesn't get hel
all wet. Put on an oilcloth bib. Put 9
piece Of oilcloth under the highchail
and shut year eyes to awkwardness and
spilled milk. It's easily mopped up.
While she is getting such small
amount by cup, use milk with and ovei
her cereal, over her vegetables, in GUS
tards, junkets. and other milk pudding,
and see how easily one can use pint
or more day.

two tablespoonfuls of -four over, STIR
ring, and let simmer for two or three
minutes longer until thickened Add

points instead of pastry If desired The
mushrooms need not be peeled. and the

the book can be worked in some chaste
and suitable capital letters.
The stitchery can be entirely in
outline stitch. This is best for the let
tering. The stitches must be fine and
set very close together. A fine chain
stitch is well suited for the border. If
one elects to do the design IN close en-
broidery, satin stitch is recommended.
Silk should be the embroidery medium
The textile need not be SO rich if
decorative protection is all that is es-
sential. The material can be a fine
quality Of round thread linen. Natural
color is excellent although there is q
wide assortment OF tones adapted to
this cover bindery. There are other
textiles that are equally we'll suited. Be
sure the fabric Is not rough.
Linen is the embroidery medium to
employ on all textiles but the satin,
although silk may be used if preferred
The same stitches should be employed
as on satin. Covers of this sort can be
used on worn book covers and lend
beauty to them.

A NARROW BORDER is APPROPRIATE FOR THE BOOK COVER
tCopyright. is3o.)

Those who have had fine editions of
books presented to them at Christmas
will want to preserve the beauty of the
bindings. yet they will not wish to have
the volumes appear other than hand
some. How. Then can this double object
of preservation and beauty be accom-
plished? There are several ways.
Needlework covers follow the ancient
order of fine bindings. The covers can
be works Of art. conservative and ap-
propriate. A dull finish dark satin can
be cut and fitted to the binding, and
be removable in an instant. The title
can be embroidered In plain clear
stitchery, the letters being copied from
those on the back of the volume. Be-
meath the title, and spaced as on the
back OF the book, there should be the
name of the author. No other stitchery
need be employed, the front and back
covers being left unornamented.
It is quite in accord with good taste,
however, to put some stitchery en1bei-
lishment on the front. A narrow border
in conventional design can oe worked,
and within this the name and author Of

The armpits have active pores and
they must be given more attention than

After the morning bath 1t is a good
idea to dampen the armpits with toilet

effect on the pores, but it imparts

under conditions where the skin be-

the trouble is that our cleansing meth

Once each year L. D. Penfield Camp auxiliary, Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War, presents an American flag to some organiza- ton in New Britain, and this year the organization will be the Trinity Methodist church, the flag to be used in front of the New Britain house at the Methodist Plainville camp grounds during the camp meeting period in the summer.
 The flag presentation will take place Wednesday evening at the regular semi monthly meeting of the l.. D. Pentield auxiliary, in Junior o. U. A. M. hall on Glen street, with Mrs. John G. Buckley, patriotic instructor of the auxiliary, making the presentation. Rev. Will liam H. Alderson, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, will receive the flag. The ceremony, while brief, is impressive, and will be witnessed by the auxiliary members and by visi- tors from l.. D. Penfield camp, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil war.
 The meeting tomorrow night will also be significant in its being the annual past presidents night, when past presiden of the auxiliary will occupy the chairs of office in the lodge rooms.

.SCHEUY CRITICIzES | FINANCING SCHEME
Believes Mayor Quigley's Polio! Burden on Property Owners

The taxpayers of the city are being made to suffer unnecessarily in a financial way by Mayor Quig- leys unemployment relief plan, s1O0,0OO for which was approved by the common council at special meeting last night in the form of a street fund note authorization, in the opinion of Councilman William s. Scheuy of the first ward, who was the only member to cast vote | against the appropriation
 Explaining his stand in an inter view after the meeting, Councilman Scheuy said: According to the may or and the public works department the city actually receives about 60 cents worth of work on every dol | lar spent in payment for inexperi- enced labor, because men who have never done pick and shovel work naturally are not 100 per cent eff cient. There remains approxima ate- ly a month of the kind of weather which permits of outside work, 50 it will be impossible to carry out the program which the public works department has laid out.
 Would Hold $1OO,00O In Reserve
 "The public welfare department has already given notice that there will be need for money by Janu- ary. What will the city do them The needy will have to be taken care of and sufficient funds will have to be raised. That will mean about s50,O00 more. It costs the city money to borrow the necessary funds and the bill is charged to the taxpayers. Why not allow the board of public works s35,0oO or so fo, outside work to be done in good weather and hold in reserve, the balance of the s100,000 until Janu- ary and then turn it over to the pub lie welfare department? If an in experienced laborer gives the city 8 return of GO cents on the dollar ir favorable weather, he certainly can, not return more than 30 cents Ul even less when the ground is frozen
 'I realize that there are many people in New Britain who prefal doing any kind of work to accept ing charity and I commend then for their stand, but I believe that council members should look aftel the interests of all of the public and not only the comparativell small number who are facing pri vation. 1 was instrumental in hay ing the names Of persons receivin: aid from the public welfare depart ment kept out of the published re ports, so that now nobody neei know those who are helped, witl the exception of the proper official ard the merchants who cash tn, public welfare department orders Thus good deal of the stigm: which the aided persons formerl, felt is removed.

 Reflecting the democratic opti- mism, Chairman Jouett NShouse of the democratic national executive committee predicted that the house would show a democratic majority.
