Your Baby's Health
Mothers Early Milk Most Important
 To Assure Good Health Of Baby

If the mother is getting an in- sufficient amount of food, the milk will be deficient in both fat and protein. If she gets too little fluid, the milk will diminish in quantity The composition of the milk is in- fiuenced little by the mothers diet except for the vitamins.
 A question invariably asked h whether tea, coffee, tobacco, or al- cohol affect mothers milk. Most doctors are convinced that these substances may be used in small amounts, but that excesscs will be harmful.
 Alcohol taken in negligible quan- titles does not appear in the milk. Mothers who are nursing babies, however, should not experiment with alcoholic drinks, because 1t ts known that intoxication of the nursing mother bay produce harm ful symptoms in the baby.

NEVER MIND THE GERMS
 ALL ROUND


 Chairman of the research com mittee of the American Dental as- sociation said recently: "There are germs in every mouth. But you'll find the same germs in all mouths- the girls as well as the boys" Not the same germs, you understand but germs of the same strains or types. mainly harmless.
 In the ruck of material" coming to my desk today is description of a discovery" whereby linen things such as bed sheets, towels handkerchiefs and clothing may be made germicidal. AS an incentive tc make linen kill germs the propa- gandiSt who prepared the material says that germs cause half the deaths in the United States and linen has long been recognized as source of infection and @ carrier oi germs.
 As a matter of fact there is rarely any evidence that linen carries germs of disease or ondangers any body's health, and especially not the health of Q laundry worker. Laun- dry workers are rather less likely to contract infectious disease than people at large. Ordinary soap and hot water, plus the chlorine solu- tons used for bleaching and the heat of boiling or ironing, are pretty effective disinfectants. A washed and freshly ironed piece of linen or other fabric is practically sterile. In my judgment 1t would be a silly waste of time and money to at- tempt to iInpart germ killing pro perties to laundered linen.
 So far as germs on objects are concerned, there is no reason to

.-BEAUTY----s GlorUying

By Alicia Hart

NEA 6cTVICe DtHu WEhVeE
 Just in time to greet hot summer weather when the bathroom be- comes the most popular spot in the house, cosmeticians are presenting some of the iovelieBt bath access sories imaginable.
 There is, for instance, @ new eau dc cologne in tall, slender bottle (the shape of c wine bottle). This Is put out by an old, reliable firm and comes in twelve scents, includ- ing sweet pea, which can very well take the place of a daytime per- fume, fresh, delicate mimosa, and chypre, Q spicy scent for the sportswoman and girls who hate sweet perfumery.
 The same company makes tale cum powder in four floral scents. It comes in Q regular can and is grand for travelling.
 Then there is Q new dusting powder in an attractive metal jar which is dust and moiSture-proof. It can be had in four scents, but gardenia seems to be the favoritc. The manufacturer presents Q spe- ciai gardenia cologne to match the bath powder.
 Also new and interesting for the bathroom is Q nail brush with rows of short, strong, bristles fastened into Q turtle-shaped catalin top. Not only is 1t a practical little gadget, but it's novel enough to encourage the children to scrub their nails more frequently.
 Everyone needs bath brush. of course. Pick one with a removable handle, 50 you can use 1t convent. ently on elbows and knees aS well as back and shoulders. Always hang 1t Up ot dry. If you don't, the bristles soon will become soft, soggy and unfit for use.

his trump holding to three.
 To make the hand, Q favorable club situation must be fol;nd, 50 the next play was low spade to the king. A club was led and the ten forced the ace.
 West led another diamond, on which the jack was played. De- clarer used his last small trump to ruff East's queen.
 Now the spade ace was laid down, drawing East's last trump and leaving West with two com manding trumps; but dummy still held the ace of diamonds. A small heart was led to dummys ace, and West discarded. Another club was played and the queen in the East hand was picked up by the second finesse.
 West could win only two tricks more, his two high trumps, and South fulfilled his contract only because he held up the stopper in the adverse suit, and accepted forces with his own weakened trump holding.

 Medical Association, and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 The mother begins to Secrete milk soon after her baby is born. Occasionally, 0 few drops may come from theb reast, even before the child'g birth.
 The milk is scanty during the first two or three days, but becomes profuse, in most cases, by the third or fourth day. Occasionally, the milk flow may be delayed until the 10th or 18th day.
 If the supply of milk seems in- sufficient during the first 10 or 12 days, 1t should be stimulated by en- coiiraging the baby to nurse. by ar- tificial pumping. or in some similar manner.
 The average mother will secrete from 10 to 16 ounces, or abuot Q pint, of milk by the end of the first week. The amount gradually increases, 50 that by the sixth month she may be secreting a quart daily.
 The amount of milk usually parallels demands of the baby. Complete emptying of the breast helps to encourage the milk sup ply.
 Milk from the mothers breast provides 20 calorics for each ounce. During the early days. immediately after the birth of the child, the thin fluid which is secreted is called cOlostrum. This differs from the milk which comes later. It contains more protein than does the later milk, and also is richer in minerals; but 1t provides less sugar and less fat.
 It has been established that the colostrum of the COW contains sub stances which protect calves from certain infections. It is not known whether these substances exist fin human colostrum, but the latter does contain high percentage of substances with which antibodies. affecting diseases that concern hue man beings, are usually associated.
 Doctors, therefore, insist nowa- days that babies should have COG lostrum. if 1t is at all possible for their mothers to provide them with it.

that there was no hope of beating

There is possibility that the re-

PHILADELPHIA. June "a MAN
A).-Oddly enough, the story of this
Democratic convention strikes us
primarily as a ghost story. Perhaps
this is because it is so completely
dominated by the spirit of man
more than a hundred miles to the
south Of it. Or perhaps it is because
what we are seeing here seems such
a pallid. shadoWy projection. sort Of
astral body polite of that vivid. vital
entity We knew four years ago in
Chicago as the Democratic party.
Oh, what fall is this, my country
men! We hate to say it, but these
men and women delegates here in the
flesh-and you couldn't think Of a
better word than flesh to describe
many of them if you sat up all night
with your dictionary-milling about
through the organized whoopee like
painted ships upon a painted ocean"
might just as well be a bunch OF Re-
publicans of the pre-Kansas era.
Could you believe it? We couldn't if
We hadn't seen it with our own eyes.
The whole effect is terribly spooky.
Here We are. all dressed up to visit
the City of Brotherly Love and now
we find ourselves in the port Of miss
ing men! It's really an awfully queer
feeling. One minute you hear the
mysterious footsteps of what are
known as the die-hard quintuplets,
Messrs. Smith. Ely. Colby, Cohalan
and Reed. taking their walk; the next
you hear the distant pitter-patter of
Mr.. Lemke's tiny feet starting to run.
Evening star., 1936-06-24
Ghosts Dominate Contention
As "Whoopee'' Is Regimented
Fun Forced on Delegates Who Must Stay
Until Saturday or Face Charge
of "Taking Walk"

And while we are on the subject,
this walk-taking business is scoffed at
by the high command, but rather
Wistfully-almost acknowledgements
by many of the lower-bracket dele
gates. Especially those from con-
veniently adjacent States. Here they
are paying pretty steep hotel bills
or rather, We are paying them for
them, for job-holding delegates pre-
dominate-with nothing to do but be
entertained, and you know what hard
work that is.
The entertainment is distinctly in
the nature of supervised play. The
old Democratic convention spirit-so
degage. so ie ne sais quoi, so what
the-hell. in other days-has been re-
placed by highly organized prize fights,
vaudeville, buffet suppers and-we
know you won't believe this, but it's
true-fashion shows! When We saw
New Jerseys splendid old beef-wine-
and-iron Democratic boss, Frank
Hague. eating his dinner while a
fashion show ragged about him. We just
felt like sitting down and having a
good cry over old times.
Forced to Stay Until Saturday.
But what We started to say was, even
if you're a home-loving delegate who
can take his fashion shows or let them
alone. you've got to stick it out here
till Saturday night or you'll be accused
of taking a walk. And then where
would your job be?
There's another ghost here that sur
prised us. Floats have been parading
