Your Baby and Mine
M MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

THE annetitelessness of the child past
wear. stir fed exclusively by breast or
bottle is a very real thing. 1t is one
of those situations about which the
mother Is singularly blind. WINE she
appears to know what to do about the
babys indifference to aolid tood, she
finds hard to believe that too much
mill NAV be the underlying cause.
Milk is a completely nourish1ng food
To the infant but from the time ne Is
2 months old there is need for other
elements in the diet. He needs the
yitanins present in either orange or
tomato Juice. in fact, he must ha re
them If he is bottle-fed. He needs the
bulk, the minerals and the nourishment
of cereal when he is 4 to months OLD,
AS early as the third month he must
have the vitamin D and possibly the
vitamin 4 contents Of cod liver oil dur
ing the Winter
1T or months the minerals, espe-
cially the iron of vegetables. are de-
manded. These foO constitute the
l. lportant on the first year of his life.
After one year he needs three whole
some meals, with his cup of milk as an
addition at the end of each meal.
Yet we find some mothers who are
still nursing their year-old babies, and
possibly offering them a soaked cracker
find babies still taking bottles four and
five times a day and refusing all other
foods, to the CONSERVATION of their
mothers
Nothing could be worse than 20 allow
thi situation to continue, for if the
child is satisfied four and five times a
day by bottle of milk, his distaste for
eating will grow. eN while he becomes
more and more undernourished.
A prominent doctor was heard to re-
mark in clinic that the cause for loss
age was the mothers insistence on his
drinking one quart Of -ilk q day.
1t is possible for the child to get this
amount of milk and still drink only a
small portion of it. No one doubts that
milk is tn child's most important food
in addition to his solid food but he
must learn to eat. If eating solid food
takes away his appetite for his cup of
milk, then include the milk in his solid
food. If drinking so much milk takes
away his appetite for solid food, stop
the milk altogether and give it to him
with his solid food.
Go age cheese, milk soups, milk in
and over cereal, milk desserts and milk
with vegetables are means of getting
milk into the diet without clinging to
bottles or breast feelings as an excuse
because baby won't take his milk other
wise.
We offer a leafiet on cup feelings
which any reader may obtain by in
closing a self-adG- esSed, stamped en-
velope with her request. This leaflet
shows mothers how they may do away
with bottles O. breast feelings after the
ninth month of baby,s life, which is the
time to make these changes. Don't wait
until baby has become so habited to a
fluid diet that he can't be interested in
anything else.

The Child of Today.

| I was listening 20 a group of .ople
talking about how to ring up children.
| They all had q great many ideas, put
none Il them any children. Having
children, of course, does not OF itself
make one a good parent Some OF these
! theorists might have made excellent
parents, since they felt SO deeply on the
subject. :,
There was one point that they all
missed in the discussion, and that is
that the child of today is not like the
child of their day They mentioned the
fact that the modern child is not well
brough up as they were.
Perhaps the child of a generation
ago was more subdued, and probably on
the average more in awe of his elders,
and therefore better hammered. Put
that is not the point Of difference.
The YOUNGSTERS of today differ radi-
cally from the last generation in being
clearer thinkers and more logical. Their
minds are not better, but their position
has improved. They are more part OF
the family and are talked to m -e
freely. Their education is BET lg better
adapted to their intelligences, and they
are on infinitely more friendly terms
with the grown-ups around them. The
Olympian attitude OF parents Is happily
q thing of the past.
This chance has put the little girl
and boy more at ease in their world,
They are better able to think and rea-
sol. for themselves, and they do so.
was amazed at a bachelor. He
made the statement that he would whip
manners into the modern child.
knew he had yet to know and I'M
derstand modern children. They are
apt to be obstreperouS, bat they cannot
be taught by whippings-not the nor
NAL, intelligent ones.
Once children are taught to use their
minds and think and reason, you will
find that they do not consider physical
force alone an unanswerable argument.
A child will say, as 1 heard boy say
to his father who had just spanked him:
You only did that because you are
stronger than am. Just wait!"
If the child is tinid, he will not say
it, but think (which is worse for him
than the parent.
The Spartan bachelor would learn q
new viewpoint If he had child who
thought and reasoned as the child of
today has learned to do. He would find
that the whipped child would give more
thought to what 1t considered the un-
fair use Of physical strength than 1t
would to its own misconduct.
The modern child does not accept
with the bewildered acquieScenee Of a
bygone generation the legend Of its
parents infallibility

ment.
Use sulphur ointment for pimples.
Drink lots of water for any skin
trouble. Use massage cream only at
night, and then around the eyes and
the wrinkled bits. Cleanse the skin
thoroughly before bedtime.
Mrs. A. O.-The formula you sent Is
cleansing cream, which you may
change so 1t will be nourishing one
If you substitute olive or almond oil
for the mineral oil. You will have to
increase the amount of rose water to
four ounces, as the nourishing oils are
heavier than mineral oil. There is no
need for the borax either, so omit that
when not for cleansing purposes.
OIL Of bitter almonds is included In
the formula merely for its perfume,
and since it is now being initiated, it is
best to use something else. Some skins
are irritated by this substitute for the
old perfume, so it is best not to risk
spelling your cream for yourself. Oil
of rose geranium is an inexpensive and
dependable perfume for any one to
use when making q cream at home.

tracts to contractors living away from Washington

tention Of Congress.

employing aborers mechanics living where

not be obtained would outside workers be permitted
To protect communities in the employment OF their own
workers and prevent contractors depressing wage scales
are the chief aims of the proposed law
Conditions in the District about the same as tnose

buildings and other projects have been let here to outside
contractors who lowest bidders largely because they
brought to Washington their workers paying them wages
considerably below wage scales prevailing here.

large taxes to the District would then have chance OF a

In ancient times, the cosmos
was popularly thought to be
immutable. It would have been
deemed heretical had anyone
suggested the contrary. Stars
once seen, never disappeared.
Dark stars were never dreamed
of, It was not conceived to be
possible that q new star should
suddenly appear in the heavens,
where none had ever been seen
before.
And yet astronomers, since
the time of Hipparchus, have
from time to time observed in
the sky points Of light which
had either formerly escaped
their attention or elsa suddenly
appeared as if from nowhere
and out Of nothing.
So little had this pheno-
menon been studied. so COM
paratively seldom had it been
observed, that as late as the
time of Tycho Brahe, the
appearance of q new star was
regarded with wonder and be-
wilderment. Tycho Brahe, a
really great astronomer, was so
astounded by this new" star
appearing like a ghost in the
armament that he regarded 1t
as q miracle-"comparable to
the standing still Of the sun
at command of Joshua or the
darkness that came upon the
earth at the Cruciftxion."

of still others. With the usher

discovery of new stars has not

Milky Way, and probably more
than a hundred have been OBJ

Andromeda and in other spiral
nebulae.
All of these have been very
