Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Rules for baby rearing carry such
calmness and assurance that the young
mother believes nothing ever goes
wrong When something does go awry,
as something always will, she is ready
to discard all rules.
Most OF the time the average baby
sleeps. But all babies are not average,
and some Of them, we hate to confess,
sleep all day and howl most Of the
night. Does that mean that regular
hours are Of no consequence and that
this baby Is to be reared haphazard.y
just because he fails to Immediately tit
into one habit channel? Does it mean
that when the book says the baby
should be allowed to "cry it out" the
mother should let him cry for hours
every night to teach him that crying is
futile? No.
Rules are for guidance, but they are
never, however good, 70 be considered
unbreakable. Babies should be allowed
to cry for q short time in order to teach
them the futility of crying for useless
attention, but the child who cries for
hours is not crying for the pleasure of
it; he has definite reasons.
At f1rst small babies under 6 weeks of
age seldom sleep at the exact hours laid
down for them For q few weeks they
may have their wakeful periods at
night, and then, without apparent rea-
son, may begin to sleep all night. Dur
ing the weeks that they are wakeful
and restless they should have necessary
attention. Meanwhile, try to find what
is causing the upheaval Too much
food. too little food, being too warm or
too cold, may make the tiny baby very
uncomfortable.
After weeks Of age things begin
to adjust themselves. The same rules
are in force, but now they work while
at first they seemed ineffective.
Allowing the child to cry for hours at
night is not only cruel but also defeats
the mothers purpose, for child may
easily learn the habit Of being wakeful
and OF crying. During those first weeks
Of adjustment soothe the baby. give him
a drink of fairly hot water when he
wakens, change his position, make GER
tain that his s o'clock nursing is salts
flying AL these things encourage him
to learn the habit Of sleeping and to
fall into the routine that his mother
knows Is best for him.
Usually it takes at least six weeks for
the baby to cease being a little
stranger" in his environment and to
conform to the rules and regulations his
conscientious mother has set down for
him.

what's the matter. But one simply
can't have "sciatic rheumatism" be-
cause there Is no such malady. What
ever the patient had, the two physicians
were at least honest in their opinion
they could not assure the patient that
the trouble came from a septic focus in
the tonsils. No honest doctor could do
so They gave him their opinion, and
the patient should have accepted 1t and
followed the advice they based on it,
else it was silly of him to consult the
two physicians at all.
Sc" guess that my tonsils might
be the cause of my trouble, and their
depreciation Of the diathermy method
to name doctor in - who used
this method"
Another brief interruption, please, to
point out the 1neptitude or poor judg-
ment of the two physicians in depre-
eating a method which is now uni
versally accepted by the best physicians,
especially for handicapped patients
who are bad risks for the old-fashioned
surgical tonsillectomy. Surely if these
two practitioners we're familiar with the
modern method, as every good doctor
should be, whether he uses it himself
or not, they could not have deprecated
it when the patient asked about it.
you recommended DR.. - of -.
He, having first determined that my
tonsils were infected, removed them
Five treatments were necessary. I feel
sure that good share of the discom-
fort I felt alter the treatments was
due to the fact that I ate all my regu-
lar meals, even Immediately following
treatments. This was no doubt severe
on q, throat lust operated on
And now the tonSils are all gone, but
nothing else with them, except the old
rheumatic, which disappeared almost
entirely after the first treatment
Such q letter more than counter
balances the attacks some Of our old
timers in the throat and nose field have
made upon me for my promotion" of
the dithermy method Of tonsn removal.
I don't want to crow, but it is worthy
OF notice that the old guard no longer
utters any such sQuawks about this new
tangled method-they've been shamed
into silence by the alarmingly growing
army Of people who have been success
fully treated by the diathermy electro
coagulation, electro desiccation) method
I call attention particularly to the
correspondents assertion that his "rheu-
matiz" disappeared almost completely
after the first diathermy treatment.
There Is both q warning and q promise
implied in that. People with any such
focal infection cannot expect TO be
cured in one sitting, but nevertheless
many are so cured in one sitting-per-
haps when the septic focus happens to
be destroyed or the infected area of
tonsils stsrilized by the very first apph-
cation Of diathermy.

sketch is an example Of this sort Of
thing. It is copied from one Of the
new Spring dresses, but can easily be
reproduced by the home dressmaker
The strips to be used for the fagoting
are made from bias strips of the ma
terial. Cut them twice as wide as you
want TO- allowing little to turn in at
either side. Fold over to make q double
strip, haste at the top, blind-stitch to-
gether firmly and press.
Cut a paper pattern Of the shape
needed for the cuff several inches
longer at the top than needed. Mark
lines on this paper where the strips
OF material should come and make a
curved design at the top Of the cum as
shown in the sketch.
Basic the strips on the paper, turn
ing the top row in the center to form
the circular extension. Use fine but
tonhole twist to match the material
and work in simple fagoting stitch.
This Is done By cyoSsing and recroSsing
the thread between he strips to form
q zgzag lire. A small stitch is taken
in the band each time and the needle
is then passed under the thread of the
stitch that has just been taken. thus
giving the twisted appearance at the
edges.
