Travelling with the baby is not
such a problem. If he is breast
fed everything is easy, but bottle
baby has kept more than one mother
from taking a needed vacation, par
ticularly IL the journey Is to last
more than few hours. And 1t
should not be SO.
To begin with, arrangements for
the trip should be perfected before
hand so there will be no confusion.
no long waits, no broiling stations
to park In for long periods Of endur-
ance that wear out both mother and
child. A baby fed under such try
ing conditions Is almost sure to be
sick. The noise and strangeness of
travel are enough without these add
ed strains. Be sure to make ar
rangements for the preparation of
his food and its care.
His milk should be prepared.
boiled, and packed in ice the last
thing before starting. unless, of
course, powdered or condensed milk,
However, I should not change the
baby's diet too materially at this
time If possible, because every
change is at best an experiment
even under favorable conditions. and
1t Is always difficult to tell how he
will react to 1t even at home.
Require Long Boiling
Prepare his food and fill the bot
ties, then stand them in a kettle Of
water, boiling for an hour and a half.
The time, remember, is ODE en-
phasized. Then cool the bottles a..
quickly as possible without breaking
and stand them in cracked ice, taxi
ing care that no ice gets inside the
bottles. Then the bottles may be
packed in a small portable refriger-
ator. This may be bought. or 1t may
be homemade. Stores sell variety
of little tin regrigerators that are
not expensive.
A vacuum bottle may be used If
it Is thoroughly sterilized, but 1t Is
not recommended for trips that last
over the day. 1t must be tserilized
by scalding too, and chilled, and the
boiled milk must be thoroughly
chilled before filling. The feeding
bottles can be carried empty. hav-
ing been cleaned and sterilized first,
of course. They can be filled and
warmed on the train. as needed the
porter will get you boiling water In
a pan, or some arrangement may be
made to allow you to heat them
yourself One thing to be remem-
hered is that no bottle must be used
twice.
Extra Bottles and Nipples
On a cross county journey 1t may
be necessary to make special ar
rangements with the railroad COM
pany whereby you may prepare the
daily food on the train and have 1t
kept on ice for the day. I suggest
that enough bottles and nipples he
sterilized beforehand at home to
last the journey. They are very in
expensive and can be thrown away
after using. The tops should be
filled with clean cotton to keep them
sanitary inside.
Dry milk is used satisfactorily In
travelling. The kind used should be
suggested by the doctor. Indeed, all
feeding during the journey should
he done under advice. A baby may
be able to stand the change from his
regular food, and again he may NOT.
Dry milk is not a makeshift 1t must
he remembered. 1t is very good
food.

He didn't object. She wished that

him. He affected her the wrong way.
There was something about him that
didn't ring true. She didn't know
what 1t was. A shoddy place in his
armor. A too sudden laugh. An ap-
praising guess that made too ac-
curate an estimate. She disliked
him.
She sat down at the table and
watched the candles that were grow
ing tired and sinking to the bottom
of the yellow crooks on the tables.
She looked at the figures in the
blue and white checked tablecloths.
She wished that she was back home.
She wished that she had a job. She

Dandruff, is nuisance, besides
being signal that your scalp Is not
in good condition.
No well-groomed woman can
stand the thought of dandruff drop
ping like a fine film across her
shoulder to malign her meticulous
character.
Nor does any woman want the
bother of itching that dandruff has
u way of bringing in its wake.
If you have dandruff and keep
on having 1t. don't complain about
how mean nature Is, or the summer
or anything else. You can get rid
of 1t, If you will. But it takes a
strenuous regime of haircare. Make
up your mind to go in for this and
you'll have a scalp clear as n baby's.
Need Different TONES
There are two kinds of dandruff.
one the light. powdery scales. the
usually comes with dry scalps, the
latter with oily hair
Both require about the same
kind of treatment. only you use diff
fcrent kinds of tonic. For the first
type. get a tonic for dry scalps, the
latter one for oily scalps.
Invest in n fine tooth comb and
gently go over your whole scalp.
scraping the dandruff loose. Don't
scratch 1t so rard you hurt your
head. All you need do Is to loosen
II slightly. Putting on your tonic
and massaging does the rest.
Use the tonics every night for a
week. then give yourself or have
somebody else give you herb
shampoo. These come especially pre-
pared for danduff and are very re-
freshing in addition.
May Cure In Week
After your shampoo, use n medi-
Gated ointment by applying II to
your scalp after parting all the hair
out of the way. Then massage your
head firmly until 1t sinks into the
scalp. A weeks daily brushing and
massage and application of tonic
and one shampoo and medicated
ointment treatment should see the
skids put under your dandruff. 1t
may take much longer to really free
the scalp. But keep right on. 1t can
be done.
One precautions: Be sure that
everything that touches your head
during this treatment is absolutely
clean, and disinfected. That means
your fine comb, your brushes. your
finger tips and any bits OF cotton
you may need to apply the tonic.

chocolate In the upper part OF

cold milk. When chocolate was
melted she beat It with rotary
heater to blend mixture. Then she
strained this through Il fine sieve

salt, one-half cup sugar and four
tablespoons light corn syrup. This
was stirred and cooled. In the

She liked to try new recipes, per-

One hot day she made some

those who carried muskets.
One valiant patriot rose from a
sick bed and rode 80 miles through
