Mrs. Leighton, whose husband

not get his first leave for three years,
discovered that, when she had to,
she could accomplish almost any
thing. The story of her struggles to

and is little lesson in itself to any

Milk for Baby
h Many Forms
BY DR.. Martha NJ. EIfof

~ LII. A"IHH w. EHOI,
Associate Chief, Children's Bureau,
U. S. Department OF Labor.
Associated Press Features.
We're having to make adjustments
regarding all our foods lately, and
we can expect to be making them
in regard to the milk we give the
baby. OF course the mother will
nurse her baby in the early months
II she possibly can. II she can't
she will follow her doctors instruc-
tions. Both the little baby who is
not nursed by his mother and the
baby who has been weaned will
very likely be on a simple cows
milk formula.
Now, there might very well be a
temporary shortage of fresh milk
or canned milk or dried milk In a
particular region, due to transpor-
tation and other difficulties. So it's
important for the mother to know
that in any of these forms the milk
Is. good. Maybe she's been using a
particular brand Of evaporated milk
that's no longer available, and is
distrustful of other brands. She
needn't be. There's a Federal stand
ard for evaporated milk.
Evaporated milk is whole milk
from which about half the water
has been removed. When diluted
with an equal amount of boiled
water it has practically the same
food value as fresh whole milk that
has been boiled. Fresh milk should
always be boiled to make it safe
and digestible for a baby. But it
isn't necessary to boil the milk mix
ture that is made by adding boiled
water to evaporated milk. The milk
has already been sterilized in the
can.
Dried milk, or milk powder, is
made by removing practically all
the water. Read the label on the
can, because some is made from
whole milk, some from SKINNED
milk, and you want what the doc
tor advised. You will add water to
dried milk according to directions.
The dried-milk mixture should be
boiled. After the can has been
opened it must be kept in a cold
place, the lid tightly in place.

recipes are unusual and sound de-
licious. The only trouble is that the
book Is not written as a wartime
cookery guide-the author says this
was deliberately done, as book is a
thing to keep forever, and the food
situation is changing so fast that
what she might write would be out
of date before publication. She
maintains that newspapers and
magazines are the best source Of
such day-to-day information, and so
has written her book in such a man
ner that it will be valuable when
things return once more to normal.
However, her knowledge Of food
and her choice OF dishes is so ex-
ceptionally fine that the majority
Of her suggestions can be adapted
to wartime conditions with very lit
tie trouble. And anyhow, it's such
fun to get away from rationing and
war talk occasionally.
Be that as it may, when an to-
the minute volume like Ida Bailey

published also by Barrows comes

of the wartime picture. Mrs. Allen

stand or sympathize with her. She
doesn't tell mother what she Is
going to do II she knows that moth
er is going to say don't. And she
doesn't confide in mother because
mother will blab her secret to
grandma and Aunt Nell and the
woman across the street Or maybe
make funny story Of 1t to tell
at dinner pal ties.
Many mothers lose all touch with
their daughters because they use
FBI methods in dealing with them.
They listen in on their telephone
conversations. They eavesdrop their
dates. And they put them through
a third degree inquisition about
everything they do and everywhere
they go, and it isn't in flesh and
blood to stand this without resent
ment.
Mothers justify themselves in this
by claiming that they have a right
to know what their daughters are
doing, but by SO doing they take
the worst possible method of finding
out, for they not only shut of all
voluntary condolences from the girls,
but kill the girls affection and re-
spect for their mothers and turn
them into liars and deceivers.
A girl once said to me: II cannot.
tell you how I felt when I found
out that my mother searched
through my bureau drawers while
was at work to see If I had any,
thing hidden from her, and that
she broke the lock on my diary so
she could read what I had written
in it. I had always loved her and
looked up to her, but now she is
horrible to me. She seems to me like
an enemy who is trying to get some
thing on me, when I am innocent.
1t just killed something in me to
know that she didn't trust me-"
All of which boils down into say
ing that If q mother wants to pro-
tect her daughter she should be her
most intimate friend, instead OF =

In addition she plans your market

By Dorothy Dix

1t is the manifest duty Of every
mother to guide and protect her
daughters through the dangerous
teen age, and there Is nothing more
tragic and pitiful than that so many
Of them make such a failure of
their job. This is not because they
have deliberately shrked their duty,
but because they have used the
wrong methods in dealing with their
girls, and that they have lived with
their Mamies and Sadies every day
since they were born they know
them 50 little that they haven't
even speaking acquaintance with
them.
Everywhere you 60 you encounter
mothers who are beating on their
breasts and wailing out that they
can't do a thing with Mamie, or
that Sadie never confides in them,
and that they don't know what
girls are coming to in this day. And
it never occurs to them that they
have never taken the trouble to
learn how to approach their daugh-
ters and handle them diplomatical-
ly. They still go upon the theory
that their girls have never outgrown
their infantile belief that mother
Is an oracle who always knows best,
and that they will automatically
continue to ask her permission
about their every act, and tell her
what they do.
Unfortunately this idea Of han
ding a girl seldom works beyond
the II year plan. Adolescence, like
everything else, has been speeded
up In this fast-going, modern age.
Mamie and Sadie are beginning to
feel their oats and If mother wants
to prevent their boiling and keep
them jogging along in the straight
and narrow way, she has to drive
with a light and knowing hand.
To begin with, she has to trans
form herself from an autocrat into
a friend. She must cease being She
who-must- be -obeyed and become
the tactful adviser. This may put
a crimp in mothers ego, but it gives
her terrific hold on her daughters.
For, after all, these youngsters, for
all the bold and assured front they
put on, are frightened and bewild-
cred by this new world they are
entering and long for some strong
hand to cling to while they are
learning its ways.
And it lnight be mothers, II only
she would hold it out to them in
sympathy and understanding. It
makes one shudder to think how
many girls could be saved from
blllndering into committing the
follies that wreck their whole lives
if only they were on intimate enough
terms with their mothers to talk
over their little love affairs.
But they can't DO it with mother
being shocked to death at the very
mention O. petting party and pre-
tending that when she was a girl
when boy came to see her he sat
on one side of the room and she
sat on the cher, and they discussed
politics and the weather instead Of
making love and that she never
even kissed .-ather until after they
were married.
Probably there isn't any young
girl who wouldn't like to talk things
over with mother If she could, and
when she doesn't it is because she
knows mother isn't going to under

Three news books on children and
three new books on culinary matters
that's grist for today's mill! And
then, to top off, another that falls in
neither category, but is delightful
and restful contribution to wartime
reading.
We'll begin with the youngest" I"
Your First Baby" by Louise Cripps
Glemser, is charming volume pub
lished by A. S. Barnes & Co., on
modern methods of infant care and
feeding-and it also includes a per-
sonalized baby record book. Lavishly
| illustrated with sketches and pho
tographs Of adorable youngsters, it
is clearly and pleasingly written,
serious without being stuffy, UNDER
standing without being sentimental
In these wartime days when doctors
are overworked and so many babies
arriving to young and inexperienced
mothers, this book will be an inval-
liable guide in helping to bring up
strong and healthy youngsters. Many
old wives tales and theories are de-
bunked, and baby raising is treated
in a sane and thoroughly competent
manner.
Next on our list is Betty Peck
hams fine book "Other Peoples
Children published by Thomas
Nelson & Sons. Written in fictional
vein, 1t is really the story of the
need for nursery schools, under pres
ent conditions, and presents the
picture in stimulating and inform
ative way. 1t should be a strong
factor in persuading many a girl to
train for such service, and many
woman to start a nursery school
project of their own. And what bet
ter way to serve on the home front!
"At Home With Children" by
Charlotte G.. Garrison and Emma
Dickson Sheehy, published by Henry
Holt g. Co., Inc, is fine guide to
pre-school play and training. AS
the authors say in their introduc-
ton, "Too often children don't know
what to do with themselves and
parents haven't really found out
what to do with the children" So
here is an informal, common sense
book for those parents, which should
help solve the problem on both sides.
All sorts Of suggestions for making
things, where and how to play vari-
GUS games, reading, play for the
sick child, music, science and pic
lures that hold child's interest,
and section on holidays, parties
and excursions make up a very COM
plete and detailed volume. Sketches
illustrate many of the ideas and
add much in value to the book.
So, the next time it rains and
Junior whines There's NUTHIN'
to do," get out the book for inspira-
ton and amaze him with q sugges-
ton that sounds too tempting to be
resisted!
Now for our culinary works! First
and foremost is You'll Eat 1t Up"
by Charlotte Adams, from the
presses of M. Barrows & Co. If
you're tired of thinking up new
menus for the family, this is just
your dish, for the author who sprang
to fame by creating new kind of

with menus and the recipes to bring
them into being.
