Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Weaned by Tenth Month.

Nine months Is the age ct which 70
begin weaving. At ID months the
weaving should be completed and the
child on all-milk feelings. This Is
this housekeeping situation which Is
harrassing Mrs. A. s.
MY baby Is nearly 10 months old"
she writes. "He was premature, weigh
ing six pounds, and now weighs "a.
He has two teeth. feed him wheat
cereal for breakfast and supper, veg
etables for dinner and two eight-ounce
feelings Of milk q day. The rest
of his nourishment he gets from my
breast.
MY problem is sleeping. put him
TO bed at 1880 pm. and he simply re-

out one or two nights, but people tell
me he will rupture himself, and this
makes me afraid.
He is definitely not sick. Once or
twice when I have let him cry and
have then picked him up he has Yomit-
ed. Is this temper?
II have q three-year- daughter
and this baby, and as have no one to
help me, the only free time have Is
at night"
Not only are you entitled to evenings
free of the children but baby is like
wise entitled to his rest. I doubt very
much you have analysed the situation
correctly. I do not think it is temper,
but probably insufficient food He Is
an enormous weight and would stop
nursing him. Put him on four bottles
of milk day with vegetables and GER
eals and orange juice daily. The vomit-
ing might be attributed to exertion aft
er eating, or it might mean that baby
has worked hard to get enough nour-
ishment from an empty breast. It de-
ponds largely on whether he Is bottle
or breast fed at this time.
have seen q baby vomit copiously
after nursing for is minutes and gain
ing nothing in weight, indicating that
mother, certain that she had milk,
refused to wean the baby.
See that baby has one long nap right
after the 10 or IL O'Clock feeding, and
one short nap, not to exceed one hour
between and 3. Then let him stay
awake until after his or o'clock din
ner. If he does not go to sleep imme-
diately, do not take him up but sit by
the bed for a few moments so that he
remains lying down. Babies 60 to sleep
easily if they can be kept quiet, but Oft
en- keep themselves awake by Sallop-
ing about.
Stop worrying about the rupture. See
that the diet is improved and weaving
completed, and then expect that the
baby will go to sleep if he Is kept quiet
Some mothers have achieved this by
putting the baby attired in q diaper in
to a sleeping bag made of the thinnest
of cotton material. In this the baby
cannot grasp the rails and pull him
self up and, being thus hampered, lies
quietly and goes to sleep.

by the mosquito, and, after some hesi-
tation, the ant will give her some OF
the nectar she has taken from the
scale insect. Better than some Of our
own hold-ups, she takes only what she
needs.
There are mites who are pensioners
on the bounty of other, more hearty
insects. They pick the crumbs from
their tables. so to speak. There are
crickets which, firing of the great out
doors and the white lights, seek Seclu-
sion and peace in the city of the ants.
They pay for their board by massaging
the ants who have a covering OF grease
which the crickets like. Sometimes the
ants take to this form Of graft kindly,
and then, from the looks of the crickets,
they have turned upon them and the
crickets lost leg or two.

Europe, watches her chance to deposit

where she stays for about eight days
to finish her growing up, then she
flies about seeking out our enemy, the
gypsy moth.
Another friend of ours is the wasp
which boldly attacks the Japanese
beetle. Watching her chance she lays
her egg at just the right tender spot on
the beetles back. When the mother
goes to the nursery in the evening
after dining on our trees or flowers, the
egg drops off into the cradle Of the
baby. Later 1t matches and eats with
gusto the juicy grublet.
The grafters who lie in wait for the
slow-moving, plump caterpillar are
legion. The insect world is filled with
the most canny grafters and parasites

Fruit Pies.

A fruit pie is usually juicy. If the
edge of the lower crust Is moistened
with cold water. the top crust when
pressed lightly into it will stick to-
gether better. To prevent the lower
crust from becoming soggy. either sift
a little dry flour over the bottom crust
or brush with an unbeaten egg white.
Place baked pies on a cake cooler and
allow to stand on it until cool. This
will help to prevent a soggy lower crust,
Do not grease a pie plate. A good pastry
greases its own tin. Leave in the re-
frigerator for a while and the pastry
will be more fiaky after baking.

Early reports of packs from the Icy Strait and other northern dis tricts indicate an initial movement of fish at least as large if not larger than that of 1880, it was said today at local headquarters of the United States Bureau of Fisheries. Reds, which are almost as plentiful as least year up to date, are exceeding expectations as this is considered one of the off years for that variety of salmon.
 Weekly pack reports from several canneries showed practically all of them slightly ahead of last years pack at this time. However, the main runs do not show up until after July 1 and packs to date are light.

Beware of entrance to a quarrel; but being in, Bear t that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice; Take each mans censure. but reserve thy judgment"
 From Hamlet.

These bits of advice included in a list of admonitions from Polonius to his son Laertes were needed by John Barrymore, famous actor, the middle of this month during a shore trip on Chichagof Island. They stood him in good stead. In company with Capt. Otto Matthies, of the Barrymore yacht Infauta, and J. H. Cam, Alaska mining man, the celebrated dramatic gen. ius landed to take motion pictures of northern wild life. Particular ly, was he desirous of training lis camera on a brown bear.
 Said to Be Docile
 A few weeks ago. in voyaging north, MT. Barrymore at Ketchi- kan met Stewart Edward White, popular author, concerned in the conservation of all manner of Alas ka game animals, and no doubt re- called the latter's oft-asserted doc Urine that uninjured brown bears never attack human beings. While the eminent exponent of the stage and the screen felt no inclination to dispute the statement. still he must have entertained some doubts of its verity. When he ventured on his motion picture quest, he took precautions to ask Captain Matthies to carry a Savage rifle and he himself slipped over his
