Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Repeatedly I am asked what would
do. what would say, how would act
when relatives persist in pooh-poohing
the young mothers modern methods Of
caring for her baby and in suggesting
that she follow their advice.
In every case the answer is the same.
A mother has to gather her own knowl-
has to work out her own salvation,
make her own mistakes, learn by her
own experiences. No one except an
authority has any right to interfere with
what she Is doing. Certainly no one
has the least excuse for interfering
when what she is doing Is in accord
ance with our best present-day knowl-
edge of how to care for babies. Grand
parents and relatives did what they
thought best with their own children.
The young mother has that same right
and privilege, and with all the new
knowledge that Is hers in this year of
1881.
1T read your column daily and learn
a lot" says Mrs. P. c.. S. I'VE have a
darling baby boy of 5la months, who is
our only child and an only grandchild
You can imagine I listen to a lot Of
advice.
There Is some one here whose baby
Of 3 months is being fed cornstarch
pudding, mashed potatoes, graham
crackers and vegetables. It has been
suggested that we do the same. We
take our baby to a pediatrist every
other month and follow his advice.

we do not listen, because they always
tells me what they think is best. I
hope you will state what you think"
Perhaps I am wrong, but feel that
my daily articles on baby care, training
and feeding constitute what I think

babies could with impunity be fed Just

A Sermon for Today
By REV. JOHN r. GUM,
Speaking Your Mind.

Speaking Your Mind.
"a fool uttereth all his mind, but a
wise man keepeth it In till afterward."
Prov, xxiX.11.
II always speak my mind and say
what I think" is boast we frequently
hear people make. There are several
things to be said about that.
In the first place, it Is apt to put you
in the class Solomon refers to when he
saws "a fool uttereth all his mind"
whether you rightly belong in that class
or not You may not be fool and yet
have many silly things come to your
mind. Utter them and people at once
Judge you to be Silly-minded. II you
want to make yourself appear foolish,
there is no better way of doing so than
to be always saying what you think.
Unless you are wiser even than Solo
mon, 1t is not safe to utter all your
mind on all occasions. If you do not
wish to be judged fool.
In the second place, what you think
may not be true or just. Unless you
have an infallible mind, many untrue
and unjust things are bound to be
lodged therein from time to time. And
one has no right to go about throwing
around such things in a hit-or-miSs
fashion without regard to the hurt they
may cause others. Such a practice Is
more likely to win for one reputa-
ton for reckless viciouSneSs rather than
for Smartness.
In the third place, even though what
you say may be true, you may do harm
rather than good by saying It, If 1t
concerns persons, you may unneces-
sarily cause hard feelings and stir up
trouble. If it is a matter of your opin-
ion about something, however right you
may be, you may unnecessarily create
friction and strife. Besides, there are
occasions when to express the wiseSt
opinion Is but foolish waste of breath.
Once more, the people with whom you
happen to be may not care about hear
ing all that is in your mind, or they
may not be interested in what you
think concerning the particular thing
Of which you are prompted to speak.
What you say may bore them, If they
do not take it as an affront. One who
is always speaking his mind on all oc-
casionS and on all things may imagine
that he is making a name for freedom
and frankness of speech when he is
only distinguishing himself for rash
and rude impertinence.
Let all these things be we'll consid-
cred, and think twice-better still,
thrice-before speaking your mind.

mothers to learn how TO feed their
babies properly.
II there were no art or knowledge
necessary to rear a healthy baby, this
column would have no need for exist
ence. 1t takes no intelligence to put
soft food in baby's mouth, provided he
will take 1t. Any ignoramus can do
that. 1t does take knowledge and in
telligence and good sense to feed and
care for o baby rightly.
II such haphazard methods Of baby
care had resulted in healthy children,
we would have followed those methods
indefinitely. The change in methods
and interest in proper care and feed
ing sprang from the great need to cut
down the terrific death rate OF babies,
appalling numbers of whom died the
first year Of their lives. Now, through
our intelligent information about what
q baby needs, and how and when to
give 1t to him. mother rears almost

The graduating class was looking
forward to the dinner which the
junior class gave them. 1t is true
that the mothers of the community
prepared the dinner, and the food
was quite like what the class mem
bers ate at home, but some way It
had a different flavor when served at
the long tables in the school gym

This year the menu was simple-in
keeping with the pocketbooks and the
times.
First came clear tomato soup, piping
hot, we'll seasoned and thickened ever
so slightly with roux of Drowned
-four and butter.
Then came creamed chicken with
plenty Of gravy and feathery biscuits.
Mashed potatoes, new peas with but

were crisp rolls, not buns nor bis
cults, since soft breadstuffS had been
used when the biscuits were served.

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.
Refrigerators.

Most housewives dream of the time
when they will have refrigerating plants
in their house that will forever dis
pense with the services of the iceman.
But while they dream they should con-
slider their present refrigerators, that
need to be supplied every day or so
with ice.
The ideal iceman would doubtless be
a creature on wings who could soar
through kitchen or pantry window
bearing his weight Of ice without letting
his feet touch the kitchen floor. Or
perhaps he might be an Oriental with
an Oriental's prejudice against wearing
his shoes in the house. He might sim
ply slip off the mud or dust covered
shoes on the back porch, so as not to
are the bane of most housewives. OF
course, however, if your house has been
well planned, it is possible to feed the
ice box from the back porch without
ever entering the door. BY careful fore
thought this arrangement could be
achieved in every house without much
additional expense.
But most Of us have to take houses
as builders plan them for us. When we
have an opportunity to build to suit
ourselves, we do not consider details as
we Snoulo, ana often In the mouse that
we have looked forward to as the
realization. Of all our dreams in house
planning such details as the placing of
the refrigerator are lost sight of.
In placing your refrigerator remem-
Der that the cellar is q very poor place
for 1t. If you have no place else for 1t,
select a spot in the cellar where there
is good ventilation. Don't select dark
part of your cellar, believing that, it
will be the coolest place. 1t also will
be damp and this dampness will almost
surely cause the box to warp.
And remember this-if you cover your
ice. with cloth or newspaper you may
make the ice last a little longer, but
you will keep 1t from making the rest
Of the refrigerator cold. To save ice
you may be letting your food spoil be-
cause of lack OF proper refrigeration.

Simple Applique Design Offered

tached tie scarf. Half the scarf at the
left Is navy blue and the other half
Is beige so that when tied at the front
in q soft knot the ends are blue and
beige.
Ascot scarfs retain their popularity
but many of the younger women are
tying their scarfs in bows instead of
in the ascot arrangement. This calls
for an oblong scarf longer
than the regulation ascot. The bow
is usually tied directly under the chin
over a collarless suit jacket.

FIRM s
LOSS HEAVY

The report Of w. R. Fisher,
president of the National Leather
Company. presented to stockhold-
erS' meeting at Portland, Me-.
showed a net loss for 1880 of ST.
70S,916. OF business conditions he
reported:
Opportunity for business in
leather during 1880 was much
less than normal. COnSump-
ton Of all kinds of leather
made from cattle hides, for ex-
ample, was ,18 per cent under
the consumption in 1929 and "a
per cent under the average con-
sumption in the five prior years.
The rate of operation of our
tanneries and the volume of our
sales in 1880 were lower than in
1929, but were in line with pre-
vailing condition.
Marked prices for raw hides
and skins are, on the average,
lower than they have been in
more than 80 years. Present
low prices for leather should
tend 10 increase leather con-
sumption.
The cOmpany'S program for
economy and reduction in ex-
penSe was intensified in 1880.
Large reductions in the cost Of
carrying on the business have
been effected"
