MORE ON SERVICE.
From Mrs. w. L. M, Washington J
| l am most interested in the let
ter Whats become of Service?
This is long overdue and more
things can be added.
| Get back to daily deliveries, both
from the stores and dairies. In the
summer the latter should deliver
milk and cream early, as we used
to have it. Why should people who
are employed not be able to put
| the milk away before leaving home
! instead of having to let 1t stand all
day long in the heat?
| What were war measures have
/ turned into abuses.
| Concrete action is needed. This
lady has made good move, let's
hear from others!

TRIP WITH BABY.
From Mrs. E. H. A., Washington.)
In reference to the reader who
wrote in asking about trip with an
eight month old baby. 1 recently
came $50 miles with a 8-week-old
baby and I used the following sys-
tenn. I made formula in the morn
ing and put the bottles in an alum
mum sterilizer filled with ice. When
arrived they were still Ice cold.
We left Immediately after the early
morning feeding and we used car
crib. A very comfortable contrap-
ton which fits on the back seat of
the car very securely. We found
that the motion of the moving car
kept the baby sleeping very soundly.
In fact when We stopped for gas he
woke up and fretted until we started
again. We fed him on the road and
he was very well behaved the whole
trip. However according to all the
books, doctors, etc, by the time
baby reaches the age of eight
months she should be on whole milk
and when a baby is on whole milk
you no longer need to sterilize, just
wash the bottles well. If your trip
will take few days you could carry
a sterilizer and keep the bottles and
ice in that. I do recommend the
car crib. 1t should be big enough
for your baby.
have few facts which may be
helpful to other mothers.
have found a sterilizer that has
a lid which when turned upside
down is bowl in which the for
mula is made.
fill my scrubbed bottles with cold
water and put them right side up
in the sterilizer and keep my steril-
izer on the fame for an extra five
minutes and then I have the water
for my formula without any extra
pots and pans.
really enjoy the RICH very much.
1t is really help to us new mothers
and amateur housekeepers. Thank
you all.
