Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

All young mothers, without exception,
run into the usual snags and want help.
We understand this inclination and APP
plaud 1t. The following letter sounds
very, very young. as you older mothers
will recognize. We've all been through
the stage when we feared that the first
hair would never come back and baby
would be doomed to badness for life.
We can we'll remember when almost
! anything which deviated from the nor
NAL set us to trembling. Mrs. G. RS
baby Is just 3 months old, and she
wants to know:
us this formula all right for a baby
Of 3 months, weighing IL pounds? Her
food consists of 16 ounces of milk, 10
ounces Of water and four tablespoons Of
sugar, and give her ounces seven
times day.
Her hair is coming out on the back
| OF her head from constant rubbing.
Will this come back soon? Can she
wear loose rubber panties day and
night? II not, what harm is there in It?
she still wakens for her o'clock
feeding and give her ounces. Is
that all right? How can break her
| of this habit? After each feeding, If
lift her up to help the gas up, she spills
L
this? How many hours should she
sleep?
when does she have cereal? Now
she has one and one-hah teaspoons Of
orange Juice, the same of water and 80
| drops of plain cod-liver oil in three
doses. Is that right2"
Baby's weight Is good, but IL would
i take a magician to make five 7-ounce
feelings out of q 26-ounce formula.
Something Is wrong somewhere. Baby
needs IS ounces for that many feed
ings. and this should all be prepared
at one time, otherwise your formula
would be all askew and not represent
the proportions you say. Here are the
| correct proportions for this age and
weight: 10 ounces of milk. II ounces
Of water, four tableSpoonfuls of sugar.
| Put this into six bottles IF you want to
omit the 2 o'clock feeding) and give
just water at when baby wakens.
This first fine hair is always lost. It
| Will come back, don't worry. Rubber
panties used constantly are hot, nearly
air tight and cause chatting and some
times real soreness. They encourage
mother to be less particular about
| changing than she should be. Use them
occasionally but not all the time
Change babyS position after feeding
or let her sit up moment, and the gas
Will be eructated without this Spilling.
1t isn't of much moment. Two maps a
day and IL hours at night mean that
baby ought to be sleeping IA hours or
more. Cereal Is begun (unleSs indicated
earlier) about the fifth month. Every
thing else Is fine. Our leaflets on feed
ings, vomiting and sleeping go into
these subjects in greater detail Any
mother may have them for just the
usual self-addresSed, stamped envelope

Today in
Washington History
ny DONALD A. CRAIG.

January 2, 1856.-The action of Presi-
dent Pierce in sending his annual mes
sage to Congress on the last day of the
old year, 1855, without waiting longer
for the House to organize for the trans
action OF business, seems to have met
with the general approval of the people
I'VE have heard hundreds of persons
Of all parties, not in public life," says
The Evening Star today, speak of the
act Of the President in sending in the
message without longer waiting for the
House to do that which 1t should have
done a month ago, II really competent
to the proper transaction of the pub
lie business, and without exception
every one Of them has approved his
course.
Judging from this remarkable una
nimity of sentiment, We feel assured
that the country at large will approve
the act with well-nigh as much una
| nimity.
After having done our best to find
a single individual who knew before its
announcement in the House hall that
the President designed sending in the
| annual message we can find
no such person. The secret was, there
! fore, capitally guarded. Certainly no
member of Congress, and probably not
| soul but the President, his cabi-
net and private secretary. had the least
idea of it, 1t was kept with fidelity
and managed with adroitness."
! The National Intelligencer says the
receipt of the message in the House
gave rise to an exciting scene"
Strong objections were made by vari-
Gus members to the course adopted by
Mr.. Pierce in this instance. They
claimed the House, in its unorganized
state. had no power to receive 1t on
cially.
The Union today reviews and APP
| plauds the message and defends the
position assumed by the House Demo-
Gratis in favor of the official reading of
the message.
Referring to the contents of the mes
sage, The Star says it Is 1.-The most i'm
portant state paper that has yet seen
| the light, because it is the first one
that has boldly approached and fear
lessly handled the subject which threat
ems the permanency Of the America
| Nation.
THE President clearly comprehends. {"
adds The Star, 1.-THE fact that the South
| will not submit to be robbed with her
/ eyes open under any new-fangled pre-
text whatever of the rights of co.
equality under the Federal Government,
freely guaranteed to her az the induce
nent for her to enter the Onion Of the
States originallHs"

For Preserve Closet

When the preserve closet is empty
and fresh fruit expensive, pick over
and wash four pounds of prunes, soak
for "a hours, then steam for 20 min
utes. Boil together for 10 minutes two
pounds Of sugar, one pint of vinegar,
one ounce each of whole cloves and
stick cinnamon. and one-fourth ounce
Of ginger. Add the prunes and simmer
gently until tender, then can. Or pick
over, wash and soak a good grade of
dried apricots. Next day weigh the
fruit, and for each pound add three
fourthS OF pound Of sugar. To four
pounds of fruit add one cupful of
water and the sugar, and cook slowly,
with frequent strings, until reduced
to q marmalade.

II you want to be well dressed make
a rule never to 60 shopping when you
are tagged out or irritable. If possible
make your selections when your mind
is fresh and when you will not be
tempted to make compromise with
your better taste just to get through.
Never try to buy a new hat at the end
Of the day when your hair needs at
tention and your face looks tired. II
YOU do you will find every hat you try
on equally unbecoming and will make
your choice in desperation.
1t is well worth the effort TO look
your best when you start out to buy a
new dress or wrap or anything In which
you need the help and suggestions OF
the saleswoman. But don't make the
mistake of wearing coat that Is too
warm and heavy.
Unless the weather is very cold the
best shopping ensemble consists. Of a
Jacket suit. A heavy fur coat will tire
you out before you are half through
with your undertaking. If you are bent
on buying q new evening dress you
may find it well worth while to carry
q small overnight bag with pair of
evening slippers. 1t is almost impos-
sible to get the right effect in an eve
ming dress without the right sort Of
footwear.

Salary No Object"

Earnest young people sometimes ask
me whether it is considered good busi-
ness sense to advertise in the want ads
that salary is no object" The best
answer to that question is, 1T all de-
ponds"
Young, unframed or semi-skilled
workers who need jobs urgently may
ind IL to their advantage to indicate
that any fair salary will be considered.
Often taking them on" is a gamble,
and employers are not willing to gam
bic much. On the other hand they
may not have any definite idea Of their
value, any way. Experience at work
only can give that to them
It is not good business sense to indi-
cate TO any employer that salary is no
object" indefinitely No matter what
our pleasure in achievement may be,
we are vitality interested in earning our
respective wherewithals. There is no
advantage to be gained by hiding flnan-
cial motives from ones employer. In
fact, he should know Of ones ambitions.

! more rapidly than the normal breath
ing, which is from IL to Is times a
minute. In the zeal to revive, there
may be the impulse to make the move
ments too rapidly.
AS soon as you begin artificial respi-
ration, II others are present have them
loosen any tight clothing about the
patients neck, chest or waist, and keep
him warm by covering his limbs with
blankets or by rubbing them.
Keep up the artificial respiration
without interruption until the patient
begins to breathe or until the physician
states that rigor mortis (stiffening OF
the body has set in, which will denote
death. Do not give up hope until this
Stiffening does take place. People have
been resuscitated after being worked on
for eight or nine hours, or even longer
The patient should be watched very
carefully after breathing begins, and
If 1t stops, the resuscitation should be
repeated.
Your assistant, If you have one, may
do as follows:
/. Place a cloth saturated with am
monia or smelling salts near the pa
TENTS nose, first trying it out on him
self to determine the distance at which
1t will not strangle.
2. Hit the patients shoe heels q

this operation every five minutes until
breathing commences.
Do not move the patient until

he should be placed on a hard surface
such as a door or a floor of a convey
ance. But you must not stop or inter-
rupt the resuscitation for an instant.
This prone pressure method is much
superior to the one called the Sylvester
method in which the patient is placed
upon his back and his arms swung
alternately above his head and down
across his chest, because this method
quickly tires the person applying it, and
Is also unsuccessful in filling the pa
TENTS lungs with air.
