FOR JANUARY BABY.

from Mrs. H. L. c., Washington.)
To the lady who asked about
clothing for a January baby: I've
had one and am expecting another
this January. I used 100 per cent
cotton shirts, gowns and binders.
They were perfectly satisfactory.
My child never had cold-or was
cold-during her first year. I pre-
fer shirts that slip on to the variety
that tie. They go on easily and
fit better. Il had both typesD My
baby never fused about having
things slipped over her head, but
she did fuss at being turned a lot
to have shirts, binders, etc., put
around her. I consider 6 shirts
dong sleeves and 6 binders essen
tial. They are often wet or soiled,
especially binders, and have to be
changed with the diapers.
Gowns that are open all the way
down the back are best. They can
be pulled from under the baby and
are not wet so often, which means
less washing. -Four or five gowns of
this type should be enough. The
knit ones are very nice. Two or
three dresSy kimonos to slip on baby
for feeding time and showing of"
at home save lots of tedious dress
ing. One or two little dresses and
slips take care of baby's visits. Be
sure to have thick bibs for feeding
time, at home as well as while
visiting.
If you do your own diapers have
at least five dozen. You need wash
only every other day so you won't be
so rushed and tired all the time,
and will have an ample supply on
days when things dry slowly.
I didn't use bunting with my
first child and have about decided
against it for my second January
baby. The only times I took my

: Just in from a tour of the mar
kets and the big news Of the day
OF course, is meat. The dealers tel
me they just don't know what to
expect-as far as the immediate
future is concerned the situation
will undoubtedly remain pretty
much the same. There will be 4
"sprinkling" of several meats, with
more lamb than veal, pork or beef
but still a far cry from being
enough. A case of the early bird
getting what is to be had, I'm
afraid.
The supply of fish is about the
same as last week. Trout, butter
fish, Norfolk spots, Spanish mack
erel, mullets, rockfish and haddock
fillets, shrimp and some oysters.
These last are expensive-crab-
meat, too, is in the luxury class.
The vegetable outlook, however,
Is quite different. There the pic
ture is decidedly bright, great
abundance of everything and the
quality is tops. The produce coun-
ters are pretty enough for an artist
to paint, with all the colors in the
rainbow represented. Apples lead
the fruits-by the way, did you
know that the pectin found in
apples was used during World War
II as a valuable aid in healing
wounds and burns? You can make
your choice of apples according to
the particular way you plan on
using them. There are apples for
eating, baking, sauce and salads
crisp, juicy Winesaps, Grimes
Golden, Jonathans, Staymans for
plain eating, Greetings for good
apple pie with a generous chunk
of cheese. Avocados from Florida
are plentiful and not too expensive.
Caulifower Is the big item in the
vegetable line this week-its ex-
cellent quality bellies its low price.
Cheese is plentiful, too. Combine
the two for luncheon dish. Cheese
sauce poured over cauliflower makes
an attractive dish as we'll as good
eating. If you like crisp brittle
celery don't overlook the Pascal
variety IN your shopping.
There are greens of all kinds,
both for the salad bowl and cook
ing. With the prospects of meat
coming back to our tables you can
have kale. rape or mustard greens
cooked with a piece of fat back"
maybe? Radishes. green onions,
raw spinach, lettuce. escarole,
watercress, chicory and tomatoes
for your mixed green salad bowl.
Some sweet Spanish onions, too.
I saw beautiful purple eggplant
Fried, it makes a very nice meat
substitute, but it's even better

are abundant There are hun

riage, were to the doctor. A tiny
baby is "lost" in bunting and when
a January baby has grown up to flt
one, the weather is too warm for 1t.
I used little coat and bonnet, then
wrapped a wool blanket around my
baby. This may be old-fashioned,
but it was snugger and left fewer
spaces for cold breezes to creep in
around the head. Your baby will
be too big for bunting its second
winter, and probably your baby
won't be out at all before the mid
die of last of February so you'd only
need a bunting short time anyway.
Be sure to have two or three wool
sweaters and bootees.
I found Better Homes and Gar
dens Baby Book most helpful. 1t

mother would want to know, includ-
ing list of things to have for baby,
what to take to the hospital, how
to fold diapers, bathe, dress, feed
and bubble" the baby. 1t tells you
just what to expect in the way OF
development. and hints on ham
ding behavior problems up to the
sixth year. 1t also tells you about
what time you may expect these
problems to arise.
(From J. G. B., WdShington.)
AS for bottles the cap type Is
grand. One can get along on 8
bottles but 10 gives one an extra
for orange juice and water. If the
baby is on a formula that is made
up at each feeding the mother may
not need that many bottles.
1t is also wise to choose your
pediatrician and have him see the
baby either at the hospital or the
day you come home.
My mistake was not getting
doctor right away and both the
baby and myself were upset by
collie due to an incorrect formula.
1t was very trying-and learned
great lesson.
Also-the travelling baby bed and
chair that one reader wrote about
sounds like a gift to parents. It
would truly be needed and appre-
ciated by many.

To Mrs. P. G. S., Washington:
To wash quilts and comforts so that
the cotton will not wad up and
separate: Fold, so that it will go
nicely folded, into the biggest tub
you can find, and cover with hot
suds. Leave Is minutes, and then
pat and press down with palms of
the hands so that the suds go
through and through the quilt. Do
not twist or wiring or pull around
or rub. Turn off that suds and put
on more and proceed as before. Old
timers used to have "stomper.
Such can be improvised by the use
Of an inverted fruit jar, which will
have little suction action as well
as the "stomping" Another suds
may perhaps be needed then drain
off and put in hot rinse water.
Press as before and change the
water as needed. Then have some
one to help you and lift carefully,
and fold for the wringer. Then,
on four outspread hands take out to
to the clothes line and unfold, two
parallel clothes lines would be better.
You should choose a sunny day with
a little breeze and it will dry before
nightfall and be very fresh and
nice.

WieSbaden, July 6-(UP)-Mlh- tary Government officials today told 14 visiting American newspapermen that malnutrition was developing m Greater Hesse.
 The physical reserves are gone and unless the trend changes there vii be starvation within a few months. a spokesman said.
 Food stocks guarantee the pres ent ration level through July but officials said there have been no commitments for shipments from the United States after this month. They said Greater Hesse is almost entirely dependent upon imported food.
 Crop yields this year are expect ed to reach only about 60 to 30 per cent of normal in grains and pota- toes because of the shortage Of fer tilizer, farm machinery and labor.
 Nutrition experts told the visit ing newSpapermen the average weight of Germans is falling again after a rise last year. They said 50 percent of the children in some towns have rickets. Child mortai- ty is four times the rate Of three years ago.

Melbourne, July 6-(UP4-Horace F. Richardson, Deputy Chairman of the Australian Commonwealth Disposals Commission. said today that the United States is rushing blindly toward an economic disaster of the first magnitude
 Richardson, who has just return ed from the United States, said that for all our criticism of our poli- tieians they are comparatively well informed and diligent compared with the swarm of racketeers, ig- noramuses and stooges of the big pressure groups in Congress who are strangling Americas attempts to re- gain postwar stability"
 Richardson said that never in his widest dreams would he have inn agined American legislators would abolish all price controls at one stroke
 He said there were five main req sons for conditions as they are in the U. S.:
 First. over-rapid demobilization of the armed forces:
 Second, lifting price controls and a mad inf1ationary scramble after the dollar; :.
 Third, low level of politics and the interruptions tactics of great | pressure groups; -. .".-
 Fourth, delay in reconversion Of industry to peacetime production and
 Fifth, a gigantic public debt which is crippling national finances.
