Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

There are all types of vomiting, from
that which is rightfully called regurgi-
| tation and merely means that baby ha:
stuffed himself like little piggy and
gives up" what he can't hold, to the
really serious type of vomiting called
"proiectile" and which lives up to It's
name.
This latter type may so easily go I'M
recognized while the mother believes the
child has a weak stomach" and tries
one food after another, sure she will
hit upon one that will end the vom-
iting.
Mrs. r. A. w. describes this type
very accurately: Baby is months
old and has vomited almost since birth.
At first he was breast fed, but We de-
cided my milk was too rich and changed
to a SKINNED milk formula. We have
had him on five different baby foods
and he vomits them all. As soon as
he takes food you can hear 1t rolling
around in his stomach and then in an
hour to two hours he vomits 1t back,
seemingly every drop he has eaten.
Sometimes it is sour and sometimes 1t
isn't. He is also very constipated and
has gained but very little, now weighs
nine pounds and weighed seven at birth.
Do you think Tactic acid milk would
help?"
won't you let me send you leafiet
on vomiting? Inclose self-addressed,
stamped envelope with your request,
please. Meanwhile, take this child to a
doctor who will understand how to deal
with this special type Of vomiting. The
child needs medical attention and the
food is of secondary consideration.
Probably any of the foods you have
tried would have been successful If the
physica. handicap were not preventing
him from being nourished by it.
This condition. or at least what 1t
seems to be from your description. is
called pyloric stenosis. The pylorus
(from the Greek "gatekeeper") Is q
ring of muscle at the lower end OF the
stomach leading into the small intes-
tine. When food goes into the stomach
it is first reduced to an acid fluid. AS
the muscles of the stomach contract
this small ring of muscle opens up and
little by little the fluid passes into the
small intestine.
Sometimes from birth this ring Of
muscle is so small and CONSTRUCTED that
even when the stomach contracts again
and again only tiny bit of food passes
through. Eventually, after hours of
this effort (you notice this in the roll
ing motions you mentioned) the fiuid
is shot back 1t cannot 60 into the in
testine. so is pushed forcefully out Of
the mouth.
Under these conditions baby gets
little or no nourishment, and stubborn
constipation is just the result of that.
Unless given some help he may die of
starvation. Thick foods, such as milk
made thick with cereal, are excellent to
use as they are harder to vomit.
Usually drops of q strong drug are given
before each feeding to relax the muscle.
If these methods fail, an operation can
be performed to cut the muscles in such
a way as to make normal digestion pos
sible. Tactic acid. being q thick food
and capable Of being fed In small guam
titles. is sometimes very good choice
when this condition Is present.

RY DONALD A. cRAIn.

September 3, 1s65.--Vfolation of the
long-standing Government order, is
sued by the War Department, prohibit
| ing the use of Government horses by
civilians or other unauthorized persons,
brought forth a statement today in the
local newspapers that the order has
been ''persistently disobeyed" and that
many clerks have had the opportunity
to display their equestrianship at Gov
| eminent expense" Lately 1t has been
the custom for War Department clerks
! to take their "lady friends" along on
| these unlawful horseback rides
About three weeks ago an order was
| issued to arrest all persons found riding
Government horses within the limits OF
Washington City without proper official
authority. Apparently, however, this
order had heretofore not been executed
TO any extent until at the races day be-
fore yesterday at the end of Fourteenth
street. Hundreds of persons were then
present to witness the trials of speed,
and II was discovered that among the
horseback riders were many who be-
strobe steeds branded with the United
States GU. So mark
Detectives were posted in the vicinity
OF the race grounds, ana they at once
demanded the surrender of some SO

were taken into custody Half of the
riders were females, declared to be of
doubtful character" according to the
report IN today's Evening Star. The
affair caused quite a commotion in
many instances, and those taken into
custody were promptly dealt with 'ac-
cording to law"
There is still no let-up in the number
OF pardon seekers under President
Johnsons amnesty proclamation. Each
vessel arriving up the Potomac River
from the South brings an increased
number. AS this was general reception
day. at the White House, the building
was literally overridden with them.
As usual. most of these cases are re-
ferred to the Department of Justice for
reports before the President acts. Many
of his visitors today sought to have ad-
verse decisions of the Attorney General
overridden.

Well Treated Toes.

How do you treat your toes? Most
people treat them rather badly, never
giving them much attention, forcing
them into a tight squeeze in q pointed
shoe, resting most of the weight OF the
body on them, and then they feel Dadly
when corns and other ailments develop.
Give your toes this treatment and see
how they improve and how much bet
ter your feet feel and look. Do 1t once
a week. AS they should soak in hot
and preferably soapy water for is min
utes or more, 1t is best to do this at the
end of a bath, as it saves time. But
il you have been shopping or doing
work which requires much standing on
your feet, 1t is worth taking the extra
time to soak the feet in basin of hot
water. This In itself Is extraordinarily
restful.
Use the sort of cuticle remover you
use on your fingernails, and after the
feet have been dried quickly trimmed
with scissors and cleaned with q file.
rub quite a lot Of this around the edges
of the nails, with an orangewood stick
rolled round with cotton. Then use
the edge of the file, to remove as much
dead cuticle from around the nails as
possible. Raise the dead skin with the
file, and scrape on roughneSs or ridges
on the nails. Then (the cuticle remover
dries quickly take your manicure scis-
sors and clip OF as much dead skin
as possible Scrub the nails quickly with
soap and hot water, dry and rub them
thoroughly with cold cream or oil.
This can be left on for time II con-
venient If not most Of 1t can be wiped
off again before stockings and shoes are

how he had planned that doorway. So
he was quite upset when Striped Chip
munk did not approve of it at all. Yes,
sir, he was quite upset. He just didn't
like to give up that idea. However,
when he saw Jimmy Skunk come along
and poke his head in that hollow log,
he realized just what would happen If
he had his doorway there and Shadow
the Weasel came in. So he went hunt
ing for another place for that doorway.
He went all about in every direction
around that stone pile, looking care
fully at this place and carefully at that
place, finding fault with every place.
Finally, he came to an old stump that
was not very far from where he had
dug the present entrance to his home.
Some ferns were growing around this
old stump and right between two of
the old roots was just the place for q
hole. 1t would be hidden by the ferns
and it could be reached under cover
nearly all the way from the fence.
Impy went back to his new bed room
and thought it over. Then he once
more resumed work.
He would dig till he got tired: then
he would go outside to get something
to eat and to rest. Whenever he did
this he would look over the ground
so as to see that he was getting the
direction of his new passage right. Then
he would go back to work. Little by
little that passage was pushed in the
right direction. 1t passed straight
under the pile of stones. All the sand
had to be pushed back out of the door
way. It seemed to Impy that he never
would get to that stump.
You know If you keep at thing
long enough you will in time reach the
end. So there came a time when, as
Impy dug, he came to some roots. He
knew they were the roots of the old
stump. He knew then that his direc-
ton had been right. He became quite
excited. Carefully he dug up between

THE WINNER

Good men have an admiration for
the voter who excels, who looms up,
in any station, as victor wearing bells.
II he raises better pumpkins, better
snuashes, better peas, than the other
tollinR pumpkins, all the good men he
will please. They will tell him he's a
dandy. he's the biggest thing on deck,
and II any wreaths are handy they
will hang one on his neck. For the
good men are not jealous, they give
praise as man deserves; when we win
they're prompt % tell us how they like
our nifty curves. So the man who
raised fine squashes is inspired to go
ahead, and he wears out his eoloshes
digging in his pumpkin bed. He will
make all records sicken. he announces,
with q smile; so the good men prompt
and quicken every impulse worth his
while. Oh, the good men are not
stingy with their helpful words of
praise, or the world would seem more
dingy to the poor aspiring jays. But
the mean men hate like thunder TO
acknowledge any worth; they would
trample all things under as they jog
along the earth. They behold the man
whose squashes stirred the good men
of the town, and with numerous
b'goshes, they proceed TO run him down
is wasting precious time, for his
squashes are not juiceful and they
taste Like lnslaked lime. And the mar
who hears their drivel viii be feeling
sick and sore, being sensitive, he'll
str1vel, and he'll try his stunt no more
Many eeniuses have withered in the
Springtime Of their days, just because
some mean men blithered caustic words
instead Of praise. WALT MASON.

riage than is possible when she main
tains q slouching, relaxed position.
Two Of the best exercises in the world
for strengthening the muscles Of the
back are horseback riding and swim
ming. A swim two or three times a
week and ride once a week will be
sure to put into action lazy, unused
back muscles. Such program will
be too strenuous for one who is not in
the habit Of taking any such exercises,
so begin 1t more gradually.
But not every one has the oppor-
tunity Of going to a swimming pool or
taking horseback riding. Fortunately,
the same movements which one gets in
the swimming pool may be practiced at
home right In ones own boudoir. The
hutter kick, which consists of q mar
row. alternate thrashing Of the legs,
may be done lying face down over the
edge Of the bed. Not only the muscles
Of the back, but those of the waist and
abdomen are strengthened consider
ably through this exercise, which may
be done every day with good results.
The breast stroke may also be done by
lying over bench, body parallel with
the floor. In all of these swimming
exercises the muscles Of the back are
being exercised and strengthened. In
the breast stroke the arm movements
are splendid for chest development and
the kick, If done vigorously, will re-
duce hips which tend to be fiabby and
fat.
Other exercises which will help TO
strengthen back muscles are:
First-Stand at attention. Inhale
deep breath, raising both arms to
shoulder level. Swing your body from
waist slowly to the left, back to front
then to the right and front again,
Second-Stand at attention. Raise
your right hand above your head
keeping the left hand down. Twist
your body to the left, then bend down
from the waist Repeat the twisting
to the right with left hand up and
right hand down. Repeat both Of these
exercises six to ten times.
