 When the baby has reached the age of 8 to 10 months, 1t should be weaned.
 In the weaning process, the bot tie gradually should supplant breast feeding. If weaned abruptly with out having had time to get used to . bottle, Q baby may refuse to eat for . time and, in this way, harm its health.
 If the nursing infant has been ac- customed from birth to taking one bottle feeding day. the weaning process, of course, is not so difficult.
 A strong minded or stubborn child may refuse to take artificial feeding for even 24 or 36 hours; but 1t will eat, If 1t gets hungry

 However, 1t is not necessary to depend upon the privileges of Leap Year to ask his escort to your Club Dance. This is being done in cer. tain Sororities, at any time. But if 1t would settle your doubts as to his feeling toward you, by all means, invite him.

Necessity Of Rest. Change

The earth itself teaches us the
necessity of rest and change. Dur
ing the SHOWS and frost of winter
it lies dormant. In rest it gathers
force for the rejuvenating pro-
cesses of spring. We must follow
the earth's example, and gather,
force in rest and recreation, or
we can no more go on growing
and gaining in strength and pow
err than it could 60 on producing
the grains and fruits and vege-
tables of summer and autumn
without an annual rest.

Slaves for the American
Colonies, Mixed Variety

The negro in "Our History. by
Carter G. Woodson, says:
"The source of these negroes
drawn in securing slaves for the
American Colonies) will be of
much interest. They came in the
main from Guinea and the Gold
Coast. Very few came from the
West Coast of Africa. The slave
trading nations did not control that
part of the continent. Among
these slaves were a few of the
most intelligent of the Africans,
the Senegalese, with an infusion of
Arabic blood. They were especial
" valuable for their work as me-
chanics and artisans. Then there
were the Madingoes, who were con-
sidered gentle in demeanor but
prone to theft.
The Coromantees, brought from
the Gold Coast, were hearty and
stalwart in mind and body. For
that reason they were frequently
the source of slave instructions.
It was said, however, that the Cor
omantees were not revengeful
when well treated. Slavers brought
over some Whydahs, Nagoes and
Paw Paws. They were much de-
sired by the planters because they
were lusty, Industrious, cheerful
and submissive.
"There came also the Gaboons.
They were physically weak and
consequently unsuited for purposes
of exploitation. The colonists i'm
ported, too, some Gambia negroes,
priced for their meekness. The
Eboes, brought from Calabar, were
not desired, because they were in
clined to commit suicide rather
than bear the yoke of slavery. The
Congoes, Angolas and the Eboes
gave their masters much trouble
by running away. Among the ne
groes thus imported, too, there
were a few Moors and some brown
people from Madagascar"
