easier on both the mother and the
child If the training is started before
the child gets too-deflnite mind of
his own. The same is true with
night feelings. I took my baby of
one night feeding when she was
weeks and the second night feeding
when she was weeks. From that
time on she slept from 7 at night
until or in the morning. She
still got the same amount of milk
because merely divided the bot
ties into 4 bottles and also fed her
cereal from spoon at only weeks
to help fill her up and to get her
used to the spoon. The baby
weighed 18 pounds by the time she
was months old, hence I disagree
that night feelings are necessary
unless the infant is premature or
very tiny. Naturally many mothers
will not approve Of my methods, but
I had a very broad minded and CO.
operative pediatrician back home,
and when I told him I wanted to
start cereals at month, eliminate
night feelings as soon as possible.
start 3 meals day at months.
etc., he consented each time. /
never made any changes without
consulting him first.
Comment to new mothers: Ask
your pediatrician about giving a
new powdered milk instead of the
usual canned milk. Most babies are
very contented and gain rapidly on
this formula. Added comments.

(Fron J. K, University Park, Nd
There are Is tablespoons in one

REMOVING WHITE MARKS.
From Mrs. A. S. L., Ber,Dyn, Md. J
I have noticed several requests
for information regarding white al
cohol stain removal. A friend who
is furniture refinisher by trade
recommends household ammonia
just rub hard with cotton or clean
cloth moistened in ammonia, then
wash with clear water and mild
soap. Allow to dry thoroughly be-
fore waxing. I found this to be
very satisfactory on walnut as well
as mahogany. I hope it works as
well for Mrs. v. S. M, of Occoquan,
Va.
