Mrs. M. H. w., Bethesda. we
are taking our 6-month-old baby
to California this month and We
have gotten the disposable diapers
that insert in a pantie that is
waterproof silk. These can be OBJ
tanned in any of the larger stores
A nylon sheath protects the baby's
skin. We also have a bottle warmer
that heats in the lighter OF the
car. This is inexpensive and can
be obtained wherever you will find
a baby counter. We are having q
block Of wood made that will have
three holes 112 inches deep, SO
that three jars Of food will fit in
these and then the block can be
placed in the glove compartment
SO that you can feed the child in
the car. For the formula, I have
been advised not to change water
any more than is absolutely neces-
sary. I am going to fill 20 bottles
with water and put sandwich bags
over the top to keep the seals pro-
tected from flies and dust. The
milk can then be added as it is
needed. For cereal, I'm taking
boiled baby food jars. A car re-

SILVER FISH.
BABY SHOWER

From Mrs. E. G. D., SuitlandJ
Mrs. F. B. H., Alexandria: Here
is q simple way I found to rid your
home Of silver fish. AS they are
usually found in closets, put a
small jar on the shelf. The jar
must be covered with adhesive
tape to allow silver fish to climb
jar. Inside the jar put several
tablespoons of flour (Which they
love to eat). Once they get down
to the flour they cannot climb out
as the jar is slippery. Every six
weeks or two months empty jar
and fill with fresh -four.
Mrs. w. j. H., Alexandria: Here
is a suggestion for a baby shower.
Send out your invitations asking
each one to bring two cans Of baby
food in addition to their shower
gift. Wrap these in pink and blue
paper with the donors name on a
sticker. When the mother uses
these months later. she will have
a pleasant reminder Of the shower.
Table decorations and refresh
ments should be simple. Use pink
and blue paper dishes and napkins.

fFront Mrs. w. E. F.,
Falls Church,

During your trip to Texas by
automobile with your small baby,
it would be much easier to use
dispensable diapers. You could
keep your baby's bottles in a con-
tainer Of ice (ice is very easy to
get along the way--usually the ice
house is right on the highway in
most towns). and since the wea-
ther will be hot. you could Just
remove the bottle from the ice an
hour or so before feeding time
and place it in the window in
the back seat until warm. With
our children we had a bottle
warmer which connected into the
cigarette lighter. In large depart
ment stores you can get several
types which connect in different
places in the car. would warm

From Mrs. r. A. W., Washington )
] just arrived in Washington
from Texas via automobile with
my six weeks old baby. Here are
some Of the things that I did OF
rather had that made my trir
easier. First of all. put all Of the
things you will use to make for
mula into one pox. inciuded my
bottle sterilizer and a hot plate
An extension cord is also helpful
as the outlets in motels are not
always in convenient places.
When you sterilize your bottles,
put in a couple of empty baby
food jars to sterilize with them.
Measure out the portion of
strained foods your baby is to
have each meal into these empty
jars and cover. I had a small ice
chest that I put my formula for
the day and baby foods in. You
can get ice anywhere along the
way. Another suggestion would be
to bring enough water with you
from Washington to last you all
OF your days on the road. This
will eliminate any upsets due to
changing water in your baby's
formula. I took two gallons and
had enough for my first 13 days
in Washington. I made formula
and bathed the baby every night.
In the morning all had to do was
feed the baby and dress it-then
get myself ready, and this you'll
find will give you a much earlier
start in the morning. I stopped
IN motelS as you can park the car
right up near the door and you
don't have to carry all of your
enquipment so far. Also, I pulled
out a dresser drawer, put two pill
lows in it and thus made a very
comfortable bed for the baby.
