Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The baby's sleeping hours are subject
to periodic changes. AS baby ap-
proacheS the end of his first year 1t
seems better for him to take shorter
maps in daytime to encourage long,
unbroken sleep at night.
My baby has cut two hours off his
daily maps and added an extra hour
at night" writes Mrs. H. A. F. He now
sleeps until or $50 in the morning,
and then won't sleep again until 1870.
please tell me how to protect baby
from sunburn. These first hot days he
got very bad burns, even though / cold
creamed him beforehand. Also, now
at 8 months, shall he have meat broth
as well as cereal and vegetables? Your
column is so sane and practical you
are life-saver to us young mothers.
incidentally, / have eczema. Can my
baby acquire this?"
l should be glad that baby is learning
to sleep all night, and should no longer
waken him for a feeding in the first
part of the night, but let him sleep
as long as he will naturally. Then you
may find that he won't take 10 or IL
o'clock feeding any more and will sleep
straight through.
1 am afraid that baby is having too
long exposure to the sun when he gets
such bad burns. Reduce the time to Is
minutes and increase it very slowly.
1t never pays to keep baby out in the
sun until he burns, for the skin should
be slowly and gradually accustomed to
the sun so that it browns. This tam
ming is itself protection from the
dangers of sunburn. Oil the skin well
and see that baby isn't exposed longer
than Is minutes now for a week or
more.
Meat broth has no special advan-
tageS in baby's diet. 1t is practically
without nourishment, and is merely an
appetizing fluid in which to serve vege-
tables. The nouriShment is in the vege-
tables or bread served with it, not in
the broth, though it does contain eX-
tracts which pep up the appetite.
Eczema is in no degree contagious.
But it is possible for your baby to be
sensitive to the same food or external
elements to which you are sensitive.
Apparently he is not, for eczema in the
susceptible child usually appears early
in his life. If he is now being breast
fed, it is just possible that when you
put him on cows milk he may show a
sensitivity to it, We have a leaflet on
eczema which will show you the nunler-
Gus causes of it and give you a clearer
understanding of what may be causing
you to have it.

The Investigator.

Pat and 1 went out for walk in the
park. Pat was on a leash, but that
didn't prevent him from chasing squir-
rels and threatening cats and enjoying
himself as a good dog should.
A tiny girl, scarce years old, stopped
digging gravel, threw down her shovel
and shouted through the iron paling,
"Stand just where you are. I want to
see something about that dog"
We stood perfectly still as commanded
and the stout little legs tore up the walk
on the far side of the paling until they
reached the gate, swung in on a wide
curve and headed down the green to
where We stood.

A Sermon for Today
Get BUSY.
BIZ REV. JOHN r. GUM.


There remaineth yet very much land
to be possessed. Joshua, kill.
AS great as have been the achieve
ments of the past, there remaineth yet
very much land to be possessed" and
that in every region of human knowl-
edge and human activity.
Nature still holds many secrets that
are waiting to be discovered. Possible
inventions have not all been made. We
have seen many wonderful things done
in our day, but there are still many
more wonderful things waiting to be
done-thingS that nobody has hitherto
thought of doing.
Where shall we look for these posi-
bilities, these things waiting to be dis
covered or done? In answer I may
quote the words of Edward Everett:
mo royal permission is requisite to
launch forth on the broad sea of dis
covery that surrounds us-most full OF
novelty where most explored"
I might quote the words of an emf
nent professor Of natural science who
said to his class: IF you knew what
is in one square mile of earth where
you live, you would know the whole
earth"
If you would be discoverer, if you
would accomplish something worth
while, you need not look beyond where
you are for opportunity. Around you
there are all sorts of opportunities cry
ing out to you and challenging you to
seize them.
If you only knew it, right under your
nose, right there on the common way
over which you walk daily, there are
many things waiting to turn up. But
do not forget Garfleld's famous words
Things don't turn up in this worlo
until somebody turns them up"
This is a world of opportunity, anc
there remaineth yet very much lane
to be possessed" Get busy.
