Your Baby and Mine
Methods of Deduction.
BIT MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

~ NE often wonders how young
mothers determine that
baby isn't getting enough to
~ eat. A young baby has a
very limited way of express
ing himself He cries for any cause
at all-hunger, overfeeding. pain, need
for attention. AS a symptom, crying
tells us nothing except baby is not
satisfied with things as they are. The
cause for crying has to be determined
by other symptoms.
When 1t is question of feeding we
have one definite symptom which can
not be overlooked-baby's gain in
weight. 1t doesn't make much differ
ence whether the baby "acts" hungry,
according to his overanxious mother
whose one fear is that she will starve
the baby unwittingly, but rather
whether baby's gain is up to average. 4.
Mrs. J. D. KS letter begins with
compliment. II really do not know
what young mothers would do without
your help" She continues, MY baby
is weeks old. He weighed 8
pounds at birth and weighed Is
pounds two weeks ago. He takes the
breast during the day and one bottle
feeding Of Tactic acid milk at night and
sometimes during the day. The breast
does not seem to satisfy him. How
much of bottle feeding does he need?
And does he need orange juice and cod
liver oil? When should I start and how
much of these should I give him?
His bowels move regularly every
morning and sometimes at night, but
he cries and strains so much. I keep
a cotton shirt, stockings and outing
flannel petticoat on him. Then I keep
h1orkaf orOaInd him Tr dracead
too warmly? Should take the blanket
of when I put him in dresses? !
surely will appreciate your advice"
The average gain per month is one
and one-half pounds. Your baby has
made an average gain of two and one
half pounds. In the face Of that. 1t
is impossible to believe that baby is
not satisfied with the breast. There
Is no need at present, for any compile
mentary feelings.
Feed the baby regularly at 6, 10, 2, 6,
and 10 and at night. Give boiled
water between feelings Send me q
self-addressed, stamped envelope for
my leaflets, Feeding from Two to
Twelve Months" Complementary Feed
ings" and Dressing Baby in Summer"
If the baby's gain drops below i've
ounces weekly and baby seems to want
more to eat, then 1t is time enough TO
think of complementary feedings. The
questions about orange Juice and the
other additional feelings are better
answered in the feeding leaflet.
When the weather is 10 degrees or
over in daytime the baby needs only
a cotton shirt, diaper, cotton stockings
and a cotton dress and petticoat. He
certainly does not need blanket about
him. Keep the baby cool. That viii be
my refrain for the rest Of the season.
No baby in Summer needs to be wrap
ped in swadding blankets. He needs
extra protection when the air gets
chilly, but not when the temperature
is 10 or above.

Slenderizing Dress.

Women with full figures look for Just
such a pattern for Summer. but cannot
always find 1t so economical as this one
nor SO easy to make.
The v neckline and the skirt seam
ing are the ingenious slenderizing Tea
lures that do such marvellous things to
large figures. The cape shoulder line
is one of the smartest gestures IN sum-
mer fashions.
This style lends itself beautifully to
sheer chiffon or voile prints, ana VIII

you'd pay for such style already made
up. 1t Is No. 784.
Sizes "a, 36. SO, 40, AZ, A, 46. 4s
and so. Size AZ requires yards OF 30
inch fabric, p yard for contrast.

cutting and sewing are included with
each pattern. They give complete direc-
tions for making these dresses.

~ HuDREN Of the little people Of
the Green Meadows the Green
Forest and the Old Orchard
" are very like little human chill
dren. Given enough to eat,
enough of sleep and plenty of play and
they require nothing more to make
them happy. Their troubles soon are
over and forgotten. Their worries are
short Lived. 1t requires little to amuse
them.
Nine children, all Of an age, make a
big family to watch over and care Tor,
but Mrs Skunk with some help from
Jimmy Skunk managed to do it with
out making any fuss over 1t. In the
first place, she is easy-going, as the
expression is. She doesn't get all
wrought I'D over trif1es. If she worries
about anything it isn't about what may
happen. but about what has happened
or is happening If one Of the children
is lost that Is something to worry over,
but she does no worrying over the
thought that one Of the children may
be lost. In fact, she does less worrying
over big family than some mothers do
over very small families.
II was a moonlight night and Jimmy
and Mrs. Jimmy had led the children
over to the Smiling Pool. 1t was the
first time they ever had seen water
save in tiny puddles left by the rain,
and they had a wonderful time playing
along the edge of it and trying to catch
the lively young Frogs that would
lump from under their very noses and
land in the water with splash. This
was great fun. And when one little
Frog didn't jump in time and two little
black paws pinned him down there was
great excitement. At once all the less
fortunate brothers and sisters redou-
bled their efforts to catch Frogs. One
thing they couldn't understand and
that was what became of the Frogs
after they plunged into the water. A
lot of time was wasted In waiting for
them to come up again.
They made the acquaintance OF Jerry
Muskrat and when he swan clear
across the Smiling Pond they thought
1t the most wonderful thing they ever
had seen. They had their first taste
of fish. Billy Mink, having caught
more than he could eat, had hidden
some in a hollow log on the bank Of
the Laughing Brook just above where
it enters the Smiling Pool These
Jimmy found and dragged out one by
one and gave to the children. Billy
Mink returned Just as Jimmy was pull
ing out the last fish and Billy flew into
a great rage, but there was nothing he
could do about it. He knew the law,
which is that one has a right to that
which he finds. He did make move
as If to take that last fish away from
the two young Skunks who had

Dustless Cloths.

These may be made at home by
placing a generous piece of soft cloth
in strong hot soapsuds to which few
drops of turpentine have been added
Let the cloth remain in the suds fol
two hours, then wiring out and dry it
1t will then hold the dust quite well
and at the same time will give a bril-
liant polish to furniture The cloth
may be washed and retreated as often
as necessary, which is usually about
once In two weeks.

had come into their neighborhood and
she hoped we would like it. She told
me who she was, and also that her
mother lived next door to me. Some
Of the notes accompanied trays OF
delicious food. And invariably a note
would state that the sender thought
would help us plan our meals with
greater ease while we were so busy
getting settled.
'"The friendliness shown us in this
way made 1t so easy for us to meet
the neighbors when they came to call.
Instead of stifly talking about the
town. the weather and other subjects,
I felt the impulse to speak Of their
friendliness and thoughtfulness, and

Jimmy.

THIS YEAR OR NEVER.

You as an adult can postpone
plans, readjust to a changed econo-
my, but in the education of children
it is a matter of this year or never
The education that is denied to
childhood today is irretrievably lost
We cannot plot the opportunities of
youth along the zigzag lines of a
business graph. Childhood is all too
brief a period in which to become
fitted for the welter of modern life.
We cannot say to child: Next
year we shall see about improving
your instruction in health. Next
year we shall provide a new course
in citizenship which fits you for So
ciety's pressing problems. We shall
buy you some fine new library
books, new maps, new laboratory
apparatus next year. Next year we
shall furnish you wonderful text
book in geography. or history, or
arithmetic" For that child, this
years schooling is at least Twelfth,
perhaps an eighth, a half-yes, even
all-of his remaining education. 1t
is this year or never!
Many things for which we spend
public money may be postponed
roads, bridges, new pavements. new
lights, but not the education of
youth.
Are you helping people to see
this? The fine educational opportun-
tiles enjoyed by children today have
not come about by accident. Are we
to allow them to be dissipated at
the first financial oXigency?
You, the teacher, can hold up your
end, if they do not overload you too
much. But you must have good
tools. You and the hare walls are
not enough to fit the child for the
demands of this complex age.
