TAKING BABY OFF BOTTLE.

from Mrs. r. X. p, Arlington.)
1have just taken my 12-month- -old
son of the bottle and have been
successful. fHowever, for the first
few days I was discouraged / use
juice glass which the baby can
handle easily, with my help. 1 hold
the base Of the glass while he twines
his hands around the upper portion.
If at first baby refuses glass, place
1t where she can see it and when
ever she gets thirsty, while eating,
she will let you know that she
wants it. If not, offer milk to her
every few hours: eventually she will
take it. My baby points to it and
then drinks.
Another thing, baby must be taken
off bottle entirely no bottle at bed
time. First few nights she won't like
this, but will get used to the idea.
(From Mrs. T. o. d., Washington.
l have had satisfactory results
from the following method. A
couple of weeks in advance of taking
the bottle, offer small amounts of
milk to her from a cup at different
intervals during the week. This is
to help her become accustomed to
the feel Of the cup. (This might
discourage you, but all babies either
reneg or are clumsy at f1rst). Then
at the beginning of the next week,
take the morning bottle away.
She will be hungry in the morning
and thus more cooperative. The
second bottle is the noon bottle, to
be taken away about seven days
later If she is ready. If not, pro-
long it several days. Then the next
seven days withdraw the night bot
tie. This should take little longer
but let her take her time.
For a short time she may not get
enough milk because it will be diff
ficult for her to acclimate to the
cup, but don't make an issue of it,
and she will resume milk drinking,
this time from a cup. All children
refuse their milk at stages but by
varying the taste of milk, and even
another beverage, this passes. You
can fill in the gap with cheese, but
ter and junket or other milk-made
solids.
From Mrs. A. W. u, WGshington.)
Having two children myself. /
know all suggestions are appreci-
ated. After trying to wean my first
one from the bottle gradually, I
found it did not work. With deter
mination I took all bottles, washed
and put them away, thus keeping
temptation out of my way and also
keeping the bottles from the sight
of my very determined little girl.
After about three days of offering
milk Just once at meal times, then
withdrawing it, won and the glass
has been used ever since.
With the second little girl the
same treatment was given, but with
variation. AS before, I washed
and packed the bottles away, only
this time 1 heated the milk slightly
and, using small fruit juice glass,
/ cut straw in half and there was
no trouble. After sucking on nip
pie, the straw was easy. After about
month of the straw I gradually
gave small amounts of milk in the
glass at time without the straw
and soon my l6-month- -older was
holding the glass In her own hands
and enjoying it immensely.

1000 PEOPLE BITTEN BY
MAD DOGS LAST YEAR

THAT rabies (hydrophobia) ex
lists in. the land and that the ma
jor host of the disease continues
uncontrolled in most sections is
brought home when reports re-
veal that half million persons
were bitten by dogs last year and
that at at least 1000 of the dogs
were mad" The United States
Health Service, and certainly Vir
ginia, is justly proud of the many
steps taken to improve the health
of its citizens and to extend the
normal life span. Yet rabies, a
comfortable killer, continues I'M
controlled to the point of being
called national disgrace, DR..
L. j. Roper, State Health Commits
sioner, states.
The United States Public
Health Service states that the
country has the highest rabies
death rate in history and that
there has been a SO per cent in
crease over the pre-war figure.
Public support and co-opera-
ton are all important to the sue
cess OF any program to control
rowing dogs, which, in turn, is the
main factor in preventing rabies.
Control is primarily connected
with dogs, for the reason that
dogs are household pets and there
fore have closer contact with
humans. A wide range of animals
are susceptible to rabies, how
ever, including cats, foxes, cat
tie. Each year the disease kills
livestock worth millions of dol
lars.
The remedy is to vaccinate all
dogs yearly.

A BOUQUET FOR
CLINTWOOD
By HAMPTON OSBORNE

Whatever may be the short
comings of Clintwood, it cannot
be said truthfully that the people
are not mindful of the sick, suf-
fering or the dead.
In many towns you would
know nothing of the death of a
person unless someone happened
to casually mention it, even on
the day of the funeral. The word
SYMPATHY is simply not in
their vocabulary and is alien to
their lives. The business firms
carry on as usual with no thought
for the feelings of the bereaved.
There have been many instances
in which the bereaved were alone
with their dying relatives and
not soul to offer aid and COM
fort This is trying hour; I
know from experience.
I have lived in Clintwood for
the past fourteen years and have
taken note all along of the fine
spirit of sympathy and comfort
as we'll as unselfish service the
people render in these trying
times. I was pleased, beyond
words, to see the good spirit Of
sympathy and cooperation again
demonstrated by the people of
Clntwood when Ted Baker was
so suddenly taken from our
midst. Those beautiful floral
offerings, the many comforting
words of friends, the many kind
deeds of friends, all acted as
