Talking Too Much.

Something must be the matter with
my little daughter. She talks all the
time. The minute she is awake she
begins and she never stops, not even
while she is eating Isn't there some
thing 1 can do to stop this? I've tried
about everything from spanking to
sending her to bed but nothing seems
to have any effect"
1 don't believe that there is any
thing the matter with the child. Little
children have to learn to talk. They
need to practice words and phrases.
They need to acquire vocabulary. The
only way they can do these essential
things is the way they talk-talklng
as much and as often as they can.
Little children will pick up word
or a phrase, even a syllable and repeat
it endlessly. That is their way of prac-
ticing speech. They timber up their
speech organs. develop them by use.
This is a signal to teach rhymes. The
more repetitive they are the better.

To talk we'll one must have good
audience. and the right audience for a
little child is always found within his
own group. You cannot isolate a child
from his own kind without loss to his
growth. Grown-up people can never
wholly fill the place of a child COM

and the span between age and child
hood is too wide to be bridged. Chill

They will pick up the wrong express
sions now and then. That is to be
expected. The grown-up people use
these expressions and children initiate
the speech they hear. That is the way
they learn. The wrong word, the cheap

essentially the same for the different
kinds of meat; the variation Is III the

To roast a small rib OF beef, for
example, which weighs three pounds
or less, rub the roast with little salt,

is to be well-done, 1t will require 80
minutes per pound. Beef is baked in
an open pan. as it has considerable
fat. In baking, the fat side should be
up. There is no need for the addition
of moisture.
Steak which is cut one inch thick

Refusing Milk.

II baby belongs to that small
group Of children who. have personal
Sersitivity to cows milk. there will be
some marked results If he drinks milk.
He may develop hives, large reddish
white weltS which arise rapidly and
may disappear with equal speed. He
may show some signs of fever His
eyes may swell or even his mouth,
where the milk touches his skin. He
may vomit or the bowels be affected.
If these symptoms appear only after
the baby has taken cows milk, the
mother may suspect that he has an
idiosyncrasy for milk which makes this
otherwise excellent food a real poison
to him Mrs. r. WIS letter describes
such problem.
II am writing you In regard to my
11-months-old baby, who has weaned
herself but cannot take milk in any
form. I have tried several kinds, but
If she takes even a little, all of her
food comes up, and she is very sick
for a day or two. She weighs %
pounds and has never been sick except
when / have tried to give her milk.
She takes soups, eggs, bacon, drinks
the juice of two oranges and can drink
10 to 80 ounces Of water a day. She
sleeps all night with just water to
drink. but my friends say she should
have milk would be SO glad ITO have
any advice. She walks everywhere, and
her legs are as straight as two pins
She has eight teeth"
Apparently this baby has a personal
senSitiveness to milk. There are sew
eral ways in which this may be han

or evaporated milk in very small guam
titles. even as small an amount as one
teaspoonful a day. Continue this for
several days, and then increase the

about half an hour. The next step
is to sponge the skin with a Turkish
face cloth, wet with warm water. to
remove all traces of the pack When
this has been thoroughly done, the
skin should be blotted dry with a clean
towel. A lemon cream or a good tissue
cream should then be patted on and
massaged gently in for a few moments.
Remove the cream by wiping the skin
with pads of absorbent cotton, mois-
tened with a skin tonic. Always wipe
upward on the face. Powder base and
makeup may follow the treatment IL
one is going out Of doors afterward.
A simple bleaching pack of this sor1
may be given once a week during the
transition months between Summer
and Winter. Even skins that are not
noticeably tanned will be benefited by
such a course of treatments. Almost

matter how careful one may be to pro-
tect the skin from strong sunshine.

the effects of exposure, even when
