All Mothers
Should Use
Baby Book
Will Give Reliable
Date on Child's
Development
yLeffics Lee Street,

A pale-blue baby book decorated
with hand-painted ribbons entwined
with pink forget-me-nots Is some
times given as present to the new
mother. Snapshots. cute sayings
and q golden ringiet clipped from .
curly head are all very appealing
records Of babyhood, and any one
who does not think 80 must have
forgotten about babies or has never
had one!
But nowadays . baby book may
have a practical as well as . senti-
mental value. 1t may be utilized
by the responsible young mother as
q reliable record of her baby's
health and development.
A mother may make her own baby
book If she likes, and no one can
deny her the wish to trace his tiny
footprint or to jot down any sweet
reminder of the months when he
looked and acted like q pink
checked cherub. But the chances
are that the modern mother will in
clude each day notations like this:
February Awhile Billy was lying
on the bathinette top he pulled
towel over his face and voluntarily
tried to play peek-a-boo. His eyes
sparkled and he laughed out loud"
Or February 5-Billy tried to pull
himself up to sitting position in
his carriage. I bought harness.
Slept only one hour after his bath"
An inclusive baby book contains
an accurate record of an infants
gain and growth in length; it notes
all additions to diet and describes
each days menus. This, by the way.
is an excellent idea, because a
child's food should not just be
planned by the day but by the
week. In this way a mother can be
doubly sure that her youngster re-
ceives all the foods he needs each
week and in sufficient variety.
If you want a weight chart to put
in your baby book, so that you may
keep a graph of your infants gain.
I shall gladly tell you where you
may obtain an efficient one. without
charge, if you will write me, care Of
this paper, and inclose a stamped
(3-cenD, self-addressed envelope
with your request.
In the event that baby falls
sick, it is undoubtedly an aid to
the doctor If the mother can show
him an accurate account of the
baby's health preceding the illness.
If in her baby's diary she makes a
practice of commenting upon the
baby's appetite, his disposition and
any unusual symptoms, these can
not fail to help the physician in
his diagnosis of the trouble.

Common Sense Is the Greatest

No home can be happy home that

era and the beginning OF another.
What the events of the next five
years will do to the homes OF the
future remain to be seen. But for
the time being 1t is to our advantage
to use what we have, use it to its
fullest capacity and learn to adjust
ourselves to changing conditions
with as little hurt, mentally and
physically, as possible.
We must learn again to use the
materials we have and to make OF
these both useful and beautiful
things. When the early Spanish
pioneers tried to establish homes in
the wilds of the southwest, they left
behind them all the wealth and
beauty Of 10th Century Spain. Out
Of the red mud of the desert they
made bricks which baked hard
enough in the sun to withstand wind
and weather up to the present day.
From the pine forests, many miles
away in the foothills, Indian boys
brought logs for ceiling beams and
the boards necessary for the hand
carved furniture which they learned
to make under the priests direction.
We must learn again to persevere
in spite Of difficulty. When the ma
terials and equipment that we have
always demanded no longer are
available and the daily routine Of
our lives is hampered, we will learn
to do the next best thing and 60
on to success by another route.
If we find that the fashions, fur
nishings and habits Of the present
day have no place in the life we are
called upon to lead, with Spartan
practically typical Of our Puritan
ancestors we will rule out these
things and set up menage that is
adjusted to the effort we are able
to expend on it in these busy days.
In this way we will be Just as much
aware of the environment in which
we live as were the pioneers, and
we will contribute our share to the
future.
Much of the silly frippery with
which we fill our homes will be
eliminated when we reduce them to
comfortable, useful establishments
in which we may live and breathe
freely. Each item of the house.
hold will have a definite purpose,
either for comfort, for beauty or
for utility, and each will be a part
of an individual idea about living.

less sugar for sweetening than q
plain pudding,
Finally, suggests Doctor Stanley,
add variety and supplement the
weekly white refined sugar with
other naturally sweet foods. Avail
able now are honey, cane sirups,
molasses, sorghum, corn sirup and
maple sirup. Molasses, cane sirups
and sorghum contain a good deal
of calcium and iron.
When honey Is used merely to
sweeten, 1t may be used instead
Of sugar, cup for cup. For 1t is Of
about equal sweetness. If you use
honey in cakes or quick breads, you
have TO make certain other allow
ances. A formula worked out for
honey substitution for sugar by
the Bureau OF Home Economics is
thus:
If you substitute medium thick
honey for all the sugar in q cake
or quick bread-reduce the liquid in
the recipe one-half. If you substi-
tute medium thick honey for half
the sugar in cake or quick bread
reduce the liquid in the recipe one
fourth. Bake all such cakes and
quick breads at a moderate tempera-
ture to prevent too rapid browning
and to keep the good honey flavor.
Sorghum, molaSses and maple
sirup-au have their own character
istic flavors. For all, there are avail
able special recipes worked out that
yield delicious cakes, puddings and
cookies. Cakes made with much
sirup are heavier than sugar cakes
and they usually stay moist longer.
Sirups are especially good In ginger
breads and spice cakes.
Sirups. like honey, may be used
merely for sweeting-on cereals, In
puddings. sandwich filings, sauces.
1t takes about II cups OF these
sirups to equal l cup of sugar in
sweetness.
Corn sirup Is half as sweet as
sugar. 1t also may be used as the
only sweetening in many ways. When
it is used in beverages, puddings,
custards and sauces in the place
Of sugar, the other liquids in the
recipe must be reduced by one
fourth.
Recent studies made in the lab
oratories Of the Bureau of Home
Economics show that corn sirup may
be used in standard recipes for muf-
fms, plain cake and drop cookies.
The corn sirup may be substituted,
measure for measure. for the sugar
specified, and the liquid in the recipe
reduced one-third. These prod
ucts are less sweet than those made
with sugar. The cakes are espe-
cially good II served as a cottage
pudding with a sauce or with a
sweet icing. The cookies are good
frosted or unfrosted and served as
accompaniments to a dish of sweet
ened fruit or pudding.
Corn sirup may also be used in
candies, icings and mousses, but for
these special recipes are necessary.

had proved profitable among them;
thorough soil preparation to insure
uniform termination, checking or
killing to insure uniform fertilizer
use and even stand, spike-tooth cul-
tivation in middle of day when corn
is wilted to control weeds, and fin
ally deep cultivation early and shall
low cultivation late to loosen soil

saying that corn lost weight due to
drying out in ripening and that
weight was greatest when quality
was best.
Banker Says Corn Brings Prosper
ity To Community
Mr.. Charles s. Pyle, successful
and popular banker Of Rising Sun
pointed out that the five local can
neries were very important to the
prosperity Of the growers, labor and
merchants of this section as they
brought in $4,000 last year and
furnished a market to $50 growers
and employment to more than $50
workers each year. He pointed out
that a community without Indus
tries to bring in money was like a
family without earnings.
County Agent Stresses Need OF
Maintaining Farm Machinery
County Agent, Miller, pointed out
that, because of the unprecedented
demand for iron and steel, farm ma
chinery was hard to get, and farm
ers could help themselves and the
War effort by repairing existing
machinery at repair centers in the
County where tools and instruction
would be available.
He stressed the Importance of
farm gardens to help the food situa-
ton, especially potatoes, beets, car
rots, turnips and cabbage. which
could be stored for later use.
When the meeting broke up,
friends and neighbors discussed
plans and problems, and exchanged
greetings. ALI present expressed
themselves as delighted with the
"get together" and extended their
appreciation to the hosts Of the eve
ming. 1t is hoped that such meet
ings can be held each year.
