Ing saving 6Oaps Time, ana worry
about such things as drying in bad
weather, unusual number Of changes
due to accidents or illness, etc.
Unable to buy the so-called "bet-
ter brands" found much to my
surprise that q lesser brand costing
less than u Of the unobtainable
ones lasted my baby until he out
grew them at II months.
Buy Solid Colors: Now In XII
monos, later In creepers, overalls,
etc. Good brand dyes now on mar
ket will keep them bright with very
little time, trouble, or expense.
Use Creepers and Overalls for
Girl or Boy: More comfortable. Re-
quire no Starching and minimum
OF ironing. When creepers become
too short, cut of bottom, hem, and
use as jersey.
Buy Nothing For Formula Except
Bottle Nipples and Brush. Doctor
may prescribe formula Of powdered
milk and water.
Cap and Sweater: My baby was
given more than he could use in
cluding a bunting which I found
less satisfactory than an infant
snowsuit with the feet In.

Perhaps you left the pot covered
