Solid Foods.

Have you baby who will accept
quantities of milk and will not eat any
thing In the way of solid food? Such
baby represents one of the common
est of feeding problems And the an
sWer to the problem is SO simple that
IL Is ridiculous. Yet mothers seem
strangely blind about finding it.
The present-day emphasis upon a
quart of milk for each child has the
effect OF convincing the mother that
milk alone is essential. But solid foods,
when the time for them arrives, are
equally essential and must be included
In a well balanced, nourishing diet.
A reader of this column for a long
time, Mrs. M G. M, has found many
helpful ideas in it. What shall I
do" she asks with a baby who is l
year and months old? She is fat
and healthy plays contentedly. and is
no trouble at all. But l cannot get
Ter to eat She will accept cereal and
orange juice in the morning but after
that nothing except milk. 1 cook
everything in the line of vegetables
that she should have, but she refuses
them. She gets plenty of milk, three
pints day, but is this enough nour-
ishment? Should force food on her?"
Please do not ever force food on her,
under any circumstances If there is
one sure way of spelling the child's
appreciation of vegetables or any food,
forcible feeding is that way
One quart of milk a day is enough
for any child of any age At Is months
the child cannot be well nourished on
milk. Milk lacks minerals and bulk.
1t encourages swallowing, but not
chewing. one of the activities which
should be developing at this age. To
allow a child to satisfy his appetite.
even If not his nutritional needs, on
milk alone is to court a still more
stubborn refusal as the child grows
older.
When children's appetites for solid
food are being spoiled by the amount
of milk they take. the solution is to
cut down the amount of milk The
quantity for your young daughter
should be reduced to four cups daily
and not a drop more. If this decrease
doesn't spur her appetite for other
foods, cut it to a pint to drink, using
the same amount in preparing solid
food
Begin to accustom the baby to cup
feeding only. For further suggestions
about this send me a self-addressed.

to Wean Baby From Bottle to Cup"
If you want a leaf1et on diet, ask me

Your Home and You
Covers for Pillows.
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

A reader tells us she wants to put
fresh covers-fresh ticks-on her pill
lows. How shall she go about it? I'm
glad she wrote, if she didn't know, for
I once knew young housewife who got
into a mess trying to do this task with
out knowing how.
To begin with, make the new ticks.
Don't French the seams. Just make
them fiat and smooth and even, and at
least a quarter inch wide, so there will
be no danger of pulling out. Seam all
four sides of the tick, excepting three
or four inches. Turn the pillow right
side out through that slit and press
the corners out square.
Now make rip in one end Of the
old pillow or one side, the same length
as the slit in the new cover. Basic the
edges of the new pillow cover where it
is slit carefully around the rip in the
old one. Basic very firmly. Then
slowly and carefully push the feathers
from the old to the new tick.
When they are all transferred rip
the new tick off the old and overland
the opening firmly and neatly.
Before making the transfer the old
pillow should be thoroughly shaken and
beaten and freed from dust. The dust
in the feathers will. most Of it, come
out through the tick, so that the feath
ers transferred from the old to the new
tick will be practically clean.

that his wait was to be in vain.
Then his keen eyes caught a move
ment in the top Of tree some distance

was alert. A slender branch moved

and Taper caught glimpse OF some

ran along this to the trunk. There he
stopped. F1attened against that trunk
he remained motionless for SO long
that 1t seemed that he never would
move. His bright eyes were searching
all the surrounding trees. 1t would
have been clear to any one watching

no one was about.

In South Carolina in the years 1926

All were children. Eighty-eight OF
the children who died were under
years of age-under school age.
Ninety-four of the 100 children who
died were given antitoXin. Six of them
did not receive any antitoXin.
The shame lies in the fact that 81
Of these little children who died OF
diphtheria we're not even seen by phy-
sicians until they had been sick three
whole days and nights.
Not only in South Carolina but in
every other part of the country chill
dren old enough to go to school have
better chance against the hazard Of
diphtheria than have the younger chill
dren, for it seems public health author
tiles everywhere are willing to carry on
systemac campaigns to immuniZe school
children against such scourges as small
pox and diphtheria, but are strangely
reluctant to go into the homes and
bring such protection to the younger
children who need it most of all.
Why this peculiar discrimination?
The health authorities offer a rather
weak alibi. They spend a good deal
Of their official time and not little
Of the money the community appro-
PIRATES for administration of the health
department in deploring the state Of
the people which hampers the efforts
Of the health authorities to prevent
disease. That is rather ridiculous when
we consider that the health authorities
invariably obtain the parents consent
before they administer toXin-anti-
toxin or toxoid to the school child to
immunize him against diphtheria. If
the parents wish to have a child of
school age so protected, they will not
hinder the health authorities in any
sincere endeavor they may make to
give the same protection to the chill
dren not yet of school age.
In South Carolina as everywhere
else the cause of the impotence Of the
public health administration Is politics
The American people have long way
TO go before We can say we administer
our pubic health affairs economically
and wisely.

Home canned tomatoes may or may not
retain some of their vitamin c, depend
ing on the amount of oxidation occur
ring in the course of the canning
process. Factory canning is done in
vacuum. so no oxidation or practically
none occurs. 1t is for this reason that
evapcrated milk is as good as paSteur-
lied milk. Pasteurization means heat
ing up to las degrees Fahrenheit for 20
to 80 minutes, then cooling again. But
while pasteurization of all ordinary milk
is necessary to protect infants and chill
dren, unfortunately it destroys vitamin
in the milk, too and hence any
infant CT child whose diet is largely
paSteurized milk must receive a daily
ration of tomato juice, fruit Juice or
vegetable juice to supply the vitamin C
required to prevent scurvy.
Four pounds of potatoes will meet all
nutritive needs that are ordinarily salts
fed with medium-siZe loaf of bread.
Any child who receives daily from a
pint to a quart of milk as beverage or
in various dishes, any kind of bread or
a cereal, rice or macaroni or similar
dish; two vegetables, one of which
should be a leafy vegetable: one fruit
or scme tomato, and a choice of eggs,
fish, meat. cheese. dried beans, peas or
lentis, with some cream, butter, nut
butter, margarine, bacon or other fat,
