at any hour Of the day Except
shortly after meals. It is best to
have a regular time for it. Next
to feeding time bath time Is the
time many mothers and babies en-
Joy most. Dad, too, can have fun
with the baby on Sunday mornings.
With his clothes of the baby Is
free to stretch, kick and twist,
sometimes delighting his parents
with a new trick.
During the first few days of life
the baby is given sponge baths.
After a dressing is no longer needed
over the navel tub bath may be
given. Some mothers, however, pre-
fer to keep on giving sponge baths
for some months.
Battle the baby every day unless
your doctor gives other directions.
Do 1t about the same time every
day, preferably before a feeding.
Do not bathe the baby within an
hour after feeding him. In very
hot weather 1t may make the baby
more comfortable to bathe him
twice during the day.
The room IN which the baby is
bathed should be comfortably warm,
from rs to 80 degrees F., and not
drafty. If 1t is drafty a screen
should be used to protect the baby.
1t Is not wise to have the room so
warm that the baby perspires.
The mother should make sure

CHILD PROBLEM.
From Mrs. M. E., Washington.)
For Mrs. ]. E. M, Alexandria.
Your daughter is going through a
phase of development common to
all normal children. It is the first
step toward independence, known as
"negativism," and usually occurs in
the period between 18 and II months.

ROSE EXTRACT?

wonder if any of the RICH read
ers have used rose extract in their
baking? I am most anxious to try
1t in cakes, but hesitate to expert
ment since sugar is SO scarce.
1t was my understanding that a
bakery goods establishment in my
old home town of Pittsburgh used
1t as a cake flavoring; it impaired a
delicate flavor that I have never
been able to duplicate with any mix
ture Of extracts. If any of you have
used rose extract will you please tell
me how much to use. It seems to
have q very strong and penetrating
odor.

When you take a safety pin out
of the baby's diaper, stick 1t into
something at arms length above
you, such as pincushion, where
the baby cannot reach it.

Remember that a baby who Is

he will not wriggle out of your

veiopment you desire for your
daughter.
II she is not going to spend four
more years in school after high
school she will probably want to get
a job. I would have her develop
her interests as far as possible
while she is in high school to show
where her talents are.
After high school If she plans
eventually to work I think finish
ing school would be waste Of time.
I am sure you would find it quite
expensive. II she is interested in
college and has the grades and
preparation why not give her one
year of college. Then she always
has starter If she wants to 20
back for more. If she has some
definite interests such as the dec
Grating, let her have training In a
recognized school. perhaps dec
Grating courses in a college or uni
versity.)
You want your daughter to feel a
security in herself that you didn't
have. I can't see that finishing
school would help. Like one dia-
mond earring without the other
things that 60 with it. hope you
don't let her know Of your old feel
ing of nothing up to par" Give
her a good sense of what is worth
while and whatever she is, she'll be
proud of herself.
Again I'll say, II you can afford
any additional education give her a
year OF college or special training
in interior decorating, laboratory
technician, medical secretary, but
let her start thinking about it soon
SO she'll have the proper founda-
tion In high school.
CRISP WAFFLEs
fFrom Mrs. H. w. D., Washington. J
In reply to inquiry from the lady
in Silver Spring relative to serving
crisp waffles to her family all at

ed to me rs years ago and has
always been thoroughly satisfactory
and improves the crispness. Light

cooked directly on the wire shelves

baby'S neck and his back while she
is bathing him. A young baby is
unable to hold up his head and his
back, and he needs this support for
his safety.
Babies usually enjoy the bath;
sometimes, however, a baby .dislikes
it. This is especially true if he
has been frightened at some time
while being bathed. Water splashed
onto him, soap in his eyes, too cold
or too hot water, and the feeling
of not being firmly supported are
the things most likely to frighten a
baby.
Try to avoid these things, but If
you find that your baby does dis

in as it is simply divine. And If
Mrs. A. B. of Landover, Md, goes

paper, have oven 375 degrees for /
hour. Then turn to 275 degrees.
Put pan of water at bottom of oven,

One pound light brown sugar, "a

STICKY GRILL

From Mrs. H. ", Mount Rainier J
To Mrs. S. E. c., Alexandria: I
am sure this old method will solve
your grill problem. Put about a
tablespoon of table salt in a piece
of one or two thicknesses of dis
carded tea towel or sheet, tie edges
together to form bag. When this
little salt bag gets too badly soiled
make a new one. Heat grill and
before putting on the panacke bat
ter rub the grill well with the salt
bag. Do this for each batch of pam
cakes you make. They will not
stick fast and no greasing Is ever
necessary.
Putting melted butter or mar
garine in the batter makes fluffy
pancakes, also a little sugar, which
browns them nicely.
CLEANING COFFEE MAKER.
BLACK SPOTS FROM SILVER?
(From Mrs. A. J. c., Arlington.)
I would suggest that Mrs. r. S. E.
Of Silver Spring clean her coffee
maker with a curved bottle brush
which costs about a dime at any 10
cent store. That is what I use for
mine.
Could some one tell me how 10

DAUGHTERS FUTURE.

For Mrs. w. E. D., Silver Spring:
In writing to you let me say that
am college graduate, young and
My parents income sup
ported my going to a local college
but not one out of town.
I hope that there are two things
that you want for your daughter.
l. That she will be a fine young
lady Of good character with poise
and grace. 2. That she will have a
good education whether It be OBJ
tanned in college or not.
I think you want to avoid her
having an inferiority complex. She
might have all the clothes and
money necessary, yet the tendency
to belittle herself would make her
just as unhappy whether she had
gone to college or not.
Now. I do not think a college de-
gree in itself is any password into

nutmeg.
Scald the milk, add fat and, when
lukewarm, add yeast and sugar. Stir
in IL cups -four and allow sponge
to stand in warm place until very

until almost double in bulk. Fry
in deep fat. placing raised side down

a college education for her and she's
willing to work to get it I certainly
wouldn't give up by saying you can't
afford 1t. myself went through on
a shoestring, working sometimes as
much as hours day in addition to
carrying full course and value my
education much more than if it had
been given to me. Why not start

Can any one tell me where I can

TO POACH EGGS
(From Mr.. S. o., Washington.
In poaching eggs you must have
a wide pot of IL inches or more.
Fill it more than half full of water
add u cup of vinegar, juice of two
lemons and l teaspoon of salt. Let
water come to boil (this must be
done. When water is boiling move
from the heat about three inches
and while water Is boiling break
eggs in a saucer and set in the
water. Repeat the same if more
eggs are desired. Let them cook
for a few minutes until they are
nice, round and firm: next you must
have fiat skinner Cat this time
you will see and notice the eggs if |
put in when water is boiling will not
stick) and just simply raise from
the water. You should have also
another pot with lukewarm water
to rinse them in before serving.
Poached eggs are very good on
English mullins with slice of ham;
cover them with hollandaise sauce.

warm air all around. I use two
racks, borrowing one from the
broiler. Waff1es may be removed
from the waffle iron little less
crisp than usual and the oven will
complete the crisping while others
cook. I've never lost waffle or had
one get soggy by this procedure.
They're better-crisp all through.
