allow quarters of an inch along
CD and a quarter OF an lnch on the

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Eating inedible material is not an
uncommon habit in childhood when
the sense of discrimination Is unde-
veloped. If a child exhibits such
perverted taste, the mother should turn
her attention to the diet first, and with
young children should prevent oppor-
tunities for further indulgence in the
habit.
Babies who nibble paint from their
cribs are in actual danger OF lead
poisoning, and 1t is obvious what splin-
tiers might do to the wood-eating child.
Punishments simply antagonize the
child and in no way prevent an orgy
OF eating the moment the punisher is
out of sight Scrape cribs OF all paint
or cover with strips of adhesive tape.
Stone, cellouloid or rubber toys may
replace painted ones. Put the wood
eating child in a metal bed and give
any toys except those made OF wood.

with great interest and benefit" she
says. Now my 15-month-old child
eats sand, handfuls of it. He puts his
mouth right down in the sand like
little puppy. He is 81 inches tall and
weighs "a pounds. He has the follow
ing diet. Please tell me what is miss
He has bottle Of whole milk at
$50 am. Sleeps until am, and
has cooked cereal and stewed fruit.
AT 10 am. he has raw apple or graham
cracker. At IL he has scraped
steak or a lamb chop or egg, with two
vegetables and a gelatin dessert or a
cuStard.
When he awakens, he has melted
ice cream or a cracker. At pm. he
has cereal. stewed fruit or cottage
cheese and pineapple. He has bread
and butter at breakfast and supper.

7 pm. l give him potatoes only twice
weekly. Does he get enough starch?''
Your first change is to omit the
bottle entirely. Give cups Of milk at
each meal, and after his nap, If he

The meals are unfortunately spaced.
Begin your day at 7 am. If the baby
wakens earlier give a drink Of water
or possibly the orange juice. Water
Is better. however. Breakfast should
consist of cereal and toast and milk.
For lunch, the meal you outlined for

in the morning give this in place of
milk when he wakens from his nap, or
give it at IL am. The night meal is
usually cereal, stewed fruit and milk
to drink. OF course this cup of milk,
If taken right with the dinner does

at bedtime.

pile. If he puts his mouth to the sand,

take him into the house, making it
plain that eating sand will deprive him
Of the pleasure of playing in it. If
you practice this deprivation right on
the heels Of his sand-eating. he'll soon
see the connection and find it expedient
to stop the habit.

Cutting the Diaphragm.

They're hanging Danny Deever In
the morning, or cutting out his dla-
phragm. If any of our readers should
take it into his head to have more
than ordinary prolonged attack OF hlc-
coughs. I warn him to have 1t as TAR
from Kansas City as he conveniently
can.
James Davis of that city attempted
to stage his attack right in town. He
was going along very we'll indeed and
might have broken the record. but on
the tenth day the doctors rushed him
into the operating room. injected a
local anesthetic and severed the phrenlc
nerves in his neck.
In the event that you have never
met the phrenic nerves and are not
familiar with the anatomy of the neck
or the physiology of necklng, we hao
better explain that the phrenlc nerves
pass down the neck underneath the
erno-cleido-maStoid muscles, through
the throax and between the heart,
lungs and other fltments, to the dla-
phragm. Of course. any intelligent per-
son knows what and where and why
the diaphragm is-oh. yeh. Well, nav
ing arrived at the diaphragm, the phren-
ic nerves serve as sensory ana motor
nerves for this breathing muscle: Cut
the nerves and you put the diaphragm
out of commission.
Hiccough is spasm OF the ola
pfragnf.
In Mr.. Davis case the severing Of
the phrenic nerves Immediately stopped
the hiccoughs. He was IN desperate
state from the prolonged attack, and
this was a desperate resort. 1t brought
the patient the first rest and comfort
he had enjoyed in 10 days. His breath
ing after the severing Of the phrenlc
nerves was quiet and even.
Many less heroic remedies had been
tried in his case without bringing relief,
except a two-hour sleep from a hypo-
dernlic injection.
Fortunately the diaphragm is not the
only muscle of breathing. Mr.. Davis
will go on breathing with his other
muscles, though his breathing capacity
will be limited and he will be unable
to exert himself in any way
AS a result of newspaper items about
the case many letters, kilograms and
telephone calls were received at the
hospital suggesting remedies.
1 suppose there are almost as many
popular remedies for hiccoughs as there
are for warts, and each remedy Is the
best in the opinion of the person who
has used it or seen it used with appar-
ent success, just as all sorts OF RENE
dies. some sensible and some plumb
silly. have gained popular repute for
curing warts.
Before cutting a patients phrenic
nerves we should at least give any
osteopathic or chiropractic maneuver or
manipulation a chance, if such treat
ment is offered by such a healer. Also,

ness she had had recourse to Surplice
effects, but now she found a variety OF
styles which met her needs admirably.
She wanted clothes in which she
would feel comfortable and incon-
spicuous.
Figured materials were better for her
purpose than plain goods. :
| She could wear the two-piece dress
with wide collar ending in a cross
over or surplice closing. Dresses with
a jabot down one side of the blouse
were good So were those which had
fullness coming from a semicircular
ruffie attached on either side Of the V
| closing.
! For evening wear she found that a
! figured dress or one of lace with a
bertha giving fullness and adding a
broadening effect to shoulder by means
of small caps was smart and comfort
able as well.
Extra large seams were made in the
entire skirt and fullnesS was rather
cunningly laid below the peplum.
Dresses with small all-over figure de-
signs and with loose endings, which
gave a fiuttery effect, were her choices
every time. And over and over again
she received compliments upon her ap-
pearance.

Answer.-While most weight charts
would call for about six pounds more
weight for a woman of your age and
height, I would not consider you seri-
ously underweight. AS have often
said before. we aren't all built to certain
specifications, and a variance of 10
pounds either above or below the aver

BANKER FAILS PROMISE
 SWEDISH NIGHTINGALE

NEW YORK, Oct, 2, (R-Ma- dame Lydia Lindgren, Swedish Nightingale, who is suing Otto H. Kahn for half million dollars for alleged breach of promise, testified the banker pave her 2 trust fund of $15O,O0O. promised her a life income of 5000, "be- cause he realized all the trouble he had caused.
 The singer insisted however, that the financier's promise had never been fulfilled. Madame Lindgren told the jury that her opera career had been ruined by scandalous reports circulated to the effect that she was too friend ly with Mir. Kahn. She once sued Madame Julia Claussen, her rival as Swedish Nightingale" for sponsoring such reports, she said, but later withdrew action at the request of MT. Kahn.
 The singer testified, between her sobs, that the banker had promised to remember her in his wilt, but this promise, like others. was never kept.
