You have drifted along, promising yourself to look into the matter “some day.” You probably have noticed their low cost and have said to yourself, “how reasonable,” and in your mind's eye you have seen certain of your rooms furnished with attractive Congoleum Rugs at prices you could easily afford to pay, but you have never got round toit. There, now—haven't we come pretty near the truth in your case? We know from ample experience that Congoleum Rugs sell at sight. You will find them better than the pictures. Our only problem is to get you to actually see one in a store, where you can look at it, and feel of it, and walk on it. In looking at our advertisements you have a private reservation in your mind that maybe these pictures have all been fixed up by artists to make the rugs look more attractive than they are. We want to get you past that point. These illustrations are from actual photographs. Congoleum Rugs are a new invention; that is to say, they have been on the market for about five years. They have proved enormously popular. They look like woven rugs, but have a waterproof, washable, beautiful surface which can be cleaned with a mop. They lie flat and never kick up at the edges. Thecolors do not fade. Ideal as porch rugs. Congoleum Art-Rugs Sizes and Prices Congoleum Rugs are made in two grades: Art-Rugs and Utility-Rugs. While both possess all of the re- markable Congoleum characteristics, we have pro- duced the Art-Rugs in more colors and in especially artistic designs.

DAINTILY EMBROIDERED AND MADE OF CRISP WHITE LAWN To the left front and back of No. 17-5-l, NCE having acquired either one of the lovely little bonnets that top little Sister’s black curls, any little girl will need a very nice place to keep her treasure, and what could be prettier than this simple bonnet-box? Mother or Aunty can make it quite easily. The foundation is a round or oval hat-box from the attic or the nearest millinery-shop. Over the box is drawn a bag with a shaped base to fit. The bag is a soft shade of tan soisette and the little figures are embroidered in pink, blue, yellow, and green, all in the simplest of stitches with only a few accents of solid work. Dress, hat, and parasol are outlined in pink, and the shoulder straps, cuffs, bands on parasol and shoes are in pink satin- stitch. The French knots on the waist and next the brim on the hat are blue, on ‘the skirt they are blue with a yellow one in the centre of each flower. The demure little streamers on the hat are outlined with blue, and all of the colors appear in the wreath of flowers around the crown, some of the French knots being green and some yellow. The smaller flowers, done in single stitch, are blue and the larger ones, in lazy-daisy stitch, are pink. As for the bonnets of crisp white lawn, they certainly are the most becoming style that any lit- tle girl could have. Both are cut on the same lines and yet by a little manipulation, such as dropping the brim instead of turning it back, they appear to be quite unlike and can be made becoming to any child. The crown is round and fourteen inches across Little Sister By Mrs. J. L. Meem and to the right front and back of No. 17-5-2. Three Little Ladies in Dainty Array Decorate the Bonnet Box No. For DESCRIPTION OF PATTERNS AND MATERIALS, SEE PAGE 38 AND AN EMBROIDERED BONNET BOX IN WHICH TO KEEP THEM with the design stamped in the centre. Two gathering threads will be better than one for holding the fulness. The brim sews on straight after it has been seamed together at the centre back and embroidered, and then a soft satin ribbon is tied around for a trimming and to cover the seam. If one wished to make laundering very easy a casing could be made on the outer edge of the crown and a tiny tape run through it to draw up the fulness. In that case the brim would be bound neatly on the inner edge and the two need only be basted together for wearing. * Both designs are in satin-stitch and outline, and may be all white or a dainty and appropriate color. The edge-of the brim is, in both hats, finished with a buttonholed scallop, and in order to have it look as well as possible the stamped. lines had best be ruin with fine sewing-stitches before any work is done, then put in a bit of padding be- tween lines, either in chain-stitch or with long outline stitches. This padding should not be too heavy. It is only to give a little body to the edge. Keep the buttonhole-stitches perfectly straight and parallel all the time and the corners will take care of themselves. Any Big Sister, Mother, or well-disposed Aunty could make both bonnet and box without en- countering troublesome problems of any kind, so simple are they in stitchery and construction. And simplicity being the first law of good taste in all things for the comfort and adornment of small misses, one would feel sure of doing the right thing. 17-5-3

Morris White is most satisfactory for the dressing - table, but a touch of color in t he embroidery adds pleasing inter- est and a cheerful note. The narrow scarf at the right is sup- plemented ‘with the two oval doilies and the long pin- cushion. These just cover the average bureau top. AAAAAAAAA TPCEPIIS AI] ¢ SISTT TS GISITIGT No. 17-5-5. Ovat Doinres. No. 17-5-6. Narrow ScarF BLvEBIRDS AND Roses IN A Happy CoMBINATION OF CoLors ON Ivory-WHITB LINEN HE three doilies at the centre of the page are a part of a set. The pincushion to match is not illus- trated. The two square ten- inch doilies are placed at the back cor- ners of the bureau, the pincushion be- tween them and the oblong doily at the centre front. This makes a simple little set which is cheery in its combination of bright colors worked in simple stitchery. The edges are | padded and buttonholed in white, the large | flowers are blue in single stitch with yel- | low satin-stitch centres, the leaves green lazy-daisy stitches, and the small French knot flowers are pink, blue, and lavender, while there is just a touch of black used for the small dots and around the cen- tres of some of the flowers. A diagram with the patterns explains the placing of the colors. The pincushion and bureau-scaff all in white at the bottom of the page are in a HE set of bird embroideries at the top of the page is intended for the regulation size dresser, the twelve-inch scarf coming at the front and the doilies and _ pincushion practically covering the rest of the sur- face. This gives a little variety from the usual scarf and also makes pieces of linen which may be used for other purposes. — The color scheme in this set is most pleasing and all the stitches are simple. The little roses are in light coral-pink in outline-stitch, or they can be worked “in short buttonhole-stitches with the stitches taken towards the centre of the flower. The leaves are light green in slanting satin-stitch, no padding being secessary, and the birds are outlined in blue with a tiny spot of bright red on their heads. The edges are finished with a single row of crocheting with a fairly coarse thread.

This and this can be done only by having the padding even and then covering with close regular but- tonhole-stitches. In working the eyelets for the pin- cushion it is well to run the thread twice around the stamped line, keeping the stitches outside the stamping rather than inside so that the eyelets will come quite large and thus make them easier to run _ the ribbon through with- out rumpling. The design on the scarf is one which | can very easily be stamped on a forty- two-inch square and will thus make a pretty little tea-cloth makes a very pret- ty finish, which is simple and durable besides being easy to do. If one desires a narrow scarf for a small table this one will be eminently suitable if only the end designs are used. The scarf may be made any desired length and finished as illustrated or with a plain hem. At one time birds in designs of any kind were consid- ered by some to be omens of ill luck, but now the super- stition has been changed and_ they are looked upon favorably, especially the bluebird, which or small luncheon- is used as an em- cloth.

Cover for hot-water bottle made of cream-white flan- nel. Blue flowers are lazy-daisy stitch, leaves are solid and stems outline. PaTTERNS OF TOILET-SET ARE GIVEN ON PAGH 46. HOOSING unusual first gifts for baby is a most difficult problem that is easily solved if a per- son can handle a brush. By a little thought, time, and a small outlay of money, such peo- ple may make gifts at home that possess charm and in- dividuality rarely found in articles for sale in the shops. The toilet-set of ivory is of the usual kind, and, of course, other articles may be added. A tiny clothes- hanger has diminutive sachets suspending from it. The painted bathtub will appeal because of its novelty. Trace the pattern, which is given full size on page 46, and then transfer the design to the article to be painted. To transfer, use carbon transfer paper. Use a combination of tube oil paints and house enamel, mixing as much of the enamel with every oil color, as is required to make the desired shade. The mix- ture dries so quickly after the oil color is mixed with the enamel that for the best work only one color should be mixed and used at one time. For the roses paint the outer petals in pale pink, and the centres in a rich rose- color. Light blue is used for the ribbon bows and a fresh light green is needed for the leaves. In paint- ing keep the edges clean and well defined, nothing that is careless and unworkmanlike will ever go to the making of the gift uncommon. The painting of the design should be finished at one time and then allowed to dry. But if after the painting is done the work seems weak or unfinished, go over the design again. The clothes-hanger is painted in the same way as the toilet-set, over the smooth background of white enamel. This hanger was bought with the white enamel sur- face already done. The tiny sachets are made of white ribbon and are painted before they are made up. The same general design (enlarged to meet the re- quirements of the size) is used on the tub, which, when purchased, was already enameled in white. soiled ET a ANT hinin deat In my get got caught ? for You, Our Brand New Baby. & Grow ft and play.

The Modern Priscilla Successful Blouses and Accessories IN KEEPING WITH THE MODE OF TO-DAY No. 17-5-20. A Wuire VorLE BLouse EMBROIDERED IN COLOR ERHAPS a= supply of summer blouses should be the first consideration of the girl or woman who makes her own clothes, for, given a suit, a good sport skirt, and a supply of tub waists, one can almost always look and feel very well dressed in hot weather. The blouse ,just above has especially attractive features in its collar and cuffs. The collar is extended to form a becoming tie, and the circular cuffs are each cut from a square of mate- rial, having a round piece taken out of the exact middle. Both collar and cuffs are narrowly hemmed by hand, or the hems may be held by a spaced running- stitch in one of the embroidery colors. This particular waist was em- broidered with flowers in gold- color, having centres of soft brown and extending rays chain- stitched in dull green. A second voile blouse finds favor in its sheer coolness and in the rather different shaping of a deep and becoming collar as represented above at the right. The wide shallow scallop that finishes all edges on this blouse is-easy to buttonhole and pleas- ing to look upon. So striking a design would be good only in white and suggests its expres- sion only in satin-stitch and out- line. Fine lawn could be used in place of voile, if preferred. No, 17-5-19.

Tuts OverBLovsE WouLp ReJUVENATE A Last SUMMER’s DRESS For DESCRIPTION OF PATTERNS SHOWN ON THIS PAGE, SEE PAGE 42 ALL SHOWING SIMPLE EMBROIDERY DESIGNS Or SHEER WHITE VOILE with WuHitg EMBROIDERY OLLOWING close upon the heels of the blouse comes the over- blouse, as popular as any piece of wearing apparel could well be. Its straight lines are par- ticularly becoming to youthful figures. Nothing could be sim- pler to make than the model of loosely woven white linen shown on the figure at the left. It has seams only at the shoulders, and is embroidered in white. Large eyelets carry the linen belt. One has the feeling that the collar and cuff set shown at the top of the page is of the regu- lation style, and ought to be easy to find. But, if one is really needed, making it is the surest way to get it, and it is a very useful set to own. This one is embroidered in one shade of blue on a thin loose-weave white linen. The work is satin-stitch. For a bag that can be carried on the street, one of green linen with medallions of écru linen embroidered in colored silks is recommended. The flower has a bright red centre, dull blue petals, and leaves and stems are green, the latter chain-stitched. The medallions when finished are buttonholed in place with écru silk. Chain- stitck’-, in écru forms a run for the écru cord made heavy enough by twisting and doubling. A lit- tle heading is made where the top joins the stiffened base.

May, 1917 Smartly Embroidered Frocks For the Little Tots DeraiL or No, 17-5- OILE, batiste, piqué, lawn, in fact all of the fabrics desirable for little folks’ white frocks are repre- sented here. At the right is a dress of cotton poplin, which makes us realize in these days of expensive linens, that there are really some very desirable cotton fab- rics. This dress is the simplest kimono fashion, and the effect of a collar is cleverly devised by embroidering the semblance of one, about the neck of the dress and run- ning ribbons through eyelets for the tie. This avoids a collar with rolling edges and is much easier to iron. - Oval-shaped flowers have petals em- broidered solid in blue, centres are white, and also the connecting lines of feather- stitching. The entire embroidery design may be done in any single color, or it may be an all-white pattern with flowers either solid or eyelet as Mother prefers. For very small children all-white is more practical and prettier. In the right centre is a dress of voile embroidered with lines of chain-stitching in pink, and pink roses with pale blue cen- tres placed at intervals, either singly or in groups. Lines or small flowers in blue French knots surround the roses, a de- tail of the work is shown in the upper left- hand corner. The narrow frill of lace that follows the chain-stitching may be omitted or the dress could be cut off at this point, making the lower edge of the dress scal- loped and finished with a lace edge. This is an attractive finish, especially for the two-year-old size. No. 17-5-26. Or Piqu& anp ALL WHITE OT 5-24. ON MADE OF No. 17-5-25. PopPLin EMBROIDERED IN COLOR All of these garments are suit- able for a child of two to four years, and they are a striking demonstration of transforming a simple kimono dress by cleverly placed embroidery to achieve va- riety in daughter’s wardrobe. No. 17-5-27. ONE-PirceE UNDERSLIP For DESCRIPTION OF PATTERNS USED, SEE PAGE 41 VoiLe Dress, N the dress of piqué at the lower left corner, the front closing, like the collar of the one above, is only simu- lated by the embroidery, which is all in rather heavily padded satin-stitch. The scallops should be run on both edges and taney padded before the buttonholing is one. Bravely adorned with a smartly bowed sash of colored ribbon, the dress at the lower right will fulfill all party require- ments for so young a miss. It can be made of fine lawn or batiste, and the tiny insets of lace should be basted on the un- der side before the edges are scalloped. A detail above shows the work actual size. In this detail the lines are done in out- line-stitch. On the dress they are in brier- stitch. Either of these stitches or, in fact, . any one of several outlining stitches could be used. Small flowers and leaves are worked solid and the long eyelets for running the ribbon can be closely whipped or buttonholed. The latter is probably more serviceable. The little maid must have a princess slip to wear under these sheer dresses, and she will enjoy the one illustrated, that has no annoying buttons or other fasten- ing. It is kimono cut like the dresses, and the neck is low enough to permit the head to pass through. This slip is made of nain- sook or long-cloth, and is finished about the neck with Valenciennes lace. The em- broidery is entirely in French and eyelet- work, as can be clearly seen in the il- lustration, and should be all white. “

The Modern Priscilla Aw OS ane _— Nursery China and Tea Cloth No. 17-5-29. Name-plate and mug to match. Clear pink used flat in lettering and bands is slightly deepened in the roses. And Straps for the Carriage The little rose ornamenting these pages can be traced for the china. Patterns for names specially made, see page 38. BaBy STRAP, SEE PATTERN ON PAGE 46 E Robert Louis Ste- venson Supper Cloth is about 36 inches square and made of white linen. If crochet thread No. 70 and hook No. 14 are used the meshes should run about 8 to the inch. The her should conform to the size o the squares at corners. The pattern at the bottom of the page is followed line by line, starting with 39 ch, which al- lows 9 ch for the first sp. Two lines form one strip, each strip overlapping the former. The corner squares are like square at beginning of pattern with the addition of two solid rows all around. General directions for filet crochet are given on page 26. Carriage Straps A strap for keeping the car- riage blanket in place at the foot is comparatively new. It is made of elastic, covered with shirred ribbon and matches the strap that we are all accus- tomed to, for holding the blan- ket at the top. The two straps illustrated are cross - stitched on Hardanger canvas, strips 2% by 7 inches and 2% by 9% inches. The edges of these strips are fin- ished with double crochet, hav- ing a picot after every 6th d. Cross-stitching and crochet are done with embroidery cotton No. 5 in pink or blue, and the ribbon matches. For the round strap 1 yard For Description OF MATERIALS USED IN Aa pps TW Lg | at XU BLANKET a Strap of elastic 7% of an inch wide and 4% yards of No. 9 ribbon are required. One yard of the _ |] ribbon is used for the rosettes. Cut the remainder in two and gather over the elastic, as illus- trated. The shorter strap required | 2% yards of ribbon the same width and two pieces of buck- ram 7% of an inch wide and 5 inches long for a foundation over which to gather the rib- bon. Allow 34 of a yard of ribbon at each end for ties. Do Not Kiss the Baby (ILLUSTRATION ON OPPOSITE PAGE) The inscription on a turnover piece for the top of a carriage blanket is timely. It has its amusing aspect, but the warning is good. A pattern for the filet crochet appears on page 46. The materials needed are one ball of No. 60 crochet thread, a No. 14 hook, and silk to line the finished piece. Start at one end with 60 ch, which allows 9 sts for the first space. Follow the pattern, add- ing spaces as necessary, by chaining 2 sts and making an 1 t in the same st with last t at the end of a row, or chain- ing 8 sts at the beginning of a row. | Epce.—Two d in I sp, 4 t in | next across lower edge, then t | around other three edges, put- ting enough sts in corners to |} turn well.

_ nothing to fear. to the HE expectant mother who understands that her condition is absolutely normal is practically assured of a_ successful childbirth, both as regards her own self and the sturdiness of her baby. This is equivalent to saying “Don’t worry,” and I cannot put too much emphasis upon the im- portance of this command to every expectant mother. First, the fortunate woman who under- stands that this condition is as normal and as natural as for the flowers to bloom, or the birds to nest, will have no fear for the outcome. She needs but little advice or instructions from a physician other than a few words about exercise, ' laxatives, and the like. The woman I have in mind who needs to be helped more than all others is she who, upon learning that she is to become a mother, exclaims: “What shall I do?” When a woman says this it is apparent that she does not understand the situation, that she re- gards it as something out of the ordinary, and looks upon herself as unfortunate. Do nothing at all. There are a number of things she should not do, chief among them is to worry. About all she should do is to under- stand that above all she is a very fortunate woman and that she should simply abide by the laws of nature. The sensible woman will get fixed firmly in her mind the fact that childbear- ing is the all-important law of nature from the lowest to the highest form of conscious life as we know it, and that it will proceed and progress and reach its completeness without troubles or disease in the healthy woman. All this should make it clear to every woman that worry or anxiety is useless. Worrying Unnecessary and Harmful I want to go much further than that and em- phasize the fact that worry and anxiety is more than useless, it is harmful from beginning to end, from every viewpoint and, for the woman of average mentality, it is criminal because she should understand the situation and know better. The normal woman has nothing to fear. If she were in normal health before marriage and lived right after marriage, her pregnancy and childbirth will be right arid normal, the natural fulfilment of the first and greatest of Nature’s laws. ! In these days, fortunately for the physical bet- terment of humanity, many people are acquiring the very valuable habit of consulting physicians every six months or every year to learn their physical condition, and this, regardless of whether they feel “run down,” or are in the best of health. This is as it should be. The successful merchant takes account of his stock and knows just where he stands, what he needs, and what he does not need. The wise man and woman of to-day goes to a physician and secures a thorough examina- tion; taking stock of their health, as it were. Every woman should do this the moment she learns that she is an expectant mother. ; She should explain her condition to the physi- cian. His examination will let her know if she is in normal health. If her health is not quite normal her physician will make it his first duty to build her up and put her in the best possible health at the earliest moment. Remember that with normal health the expectant mother ha Every expectant mother should understand, and find relief in the knowledge, that some physi- cal ailments, such as dyspepsia or many other troubles, do not have half as bad an effect upon the unborn child as do mental and emotional ail- ments. That is, the woman who is afraid of childbirth will impair the health of her unborn child to a far greater extent than will the woman who is dyspeptic or bilious, or otherwise affected. Diseases and physical disorders in infants are frequently the result of mental and nervous dis- orders suffered by their mothers during -preg- nancy. The trouble is that too many women re- gard childbirth as something abnormal. This is the furthest possible distance from the truth. The Words of Counsel The Modern Priscilla By William Lee Howard, M. D. woman who regards childbirth as abnormal is herself abnormal. The expectant mother who knows she is in good health yet finds herself worrying too much, finds herself afraid, finds herself unusually irri- table and nervous, should secure treatment from her physician at once. She is in far greater need a it than she would be for ordinary physical ills. Remember that the growth of your unborn child is as natural a state as was the growth and the development of your own body from babyhood to mature womanhood. This prenatal growth, every expectant mother should understand, is just as natural as growth after birth. There are likely to be a number of little in- conveniences which almost every expectant mother must undergo. They are, for the most part, trifling and the woman who understands will give some little attention to them, but not a moment of worry. These are little feelings of fleeting mental and physical distress and they are quite as natural for the pregnant woman as are those due to any physiological growth. Worry will make mountains of them when they are really less than mole-hills. Worry will make them harm- ful, whereas if they are regarded from the com- mon-sense viewpoint, looked upon as a part of the natural conditions of an expectant mother, there will be no ill effects. Importance of Fresh Air and Exercise Fresh air and exercise is far more important than diet. Keep constantly in‘mind that there are two, that you are building tissues for another lit- tle body. The combination of fresh air and ex- ercise is ideal. There is nothing better and there is nothing else so important. The exercise gives you a more vigorous circulation of the blood. This means a great quantity of blood goes through your lungs in a given time. It goes there to be purified by means of the oxygen which we take into the lungs when we breathe. Do your exer- cising in the fresh air, take long deep breaths, and you will purify the blood in the best possible man- ner. Since it is by means of the blood that the tissues of the unborn child are built up, the purer you make and keep your blood the better tissues you are building for your child. Breathe for two; exercise will not harm the unborn child so long as you do not become really fatigued. Con- tinue your exercise until you commence to feel tired, then stop and rest. When thoroughly rested it is safe to take more exercise and in this man- ner avoid fatigue poisons. No matter what may be the circumstances of the expectant mother she should take at least two hours of exercise every day in the open air, and a great deal more whenever it is possible. If there is stormy weather for a long period, put on storm rubbers, rain-coat, take a serviceable um- brella, and go out for the walk just the same. Damp weather won’t hurt you, the real harm comes from sitting indoors in a stuffy room. Women who have been accustomed to vigorous outdoor sports need not give these up entirely, but should so modify them that the moment they feel the least fatigued they can stop. On the other hand, the woman who has been a shut-in through her own choice, should make herself go out-of-doors two or three hours every day dur- Expectant of To-day ing her expectant motherhood. In the summer where opportunity offers, there is nothing better than taking care of a little vegetable or flower garden. All these exercises not only keep the blood purified, but aid the diet in digestion and laxative functions, stimulate the sweat glands and other excretory organs, and at the same time rest the nerve tissues, invigorate the brain and improve the muscles. Present-Day Dress Makes for Better Babies Time was when much stress had to be placed upon the matter of dress. In those days the really criminal custom of tight lacing with high corsets, and style s demand for small waists, made chronic invalids of many mothers and resulted in un- healthy and physically imperfect babies. To-day the dictates of style make for better babies. The wasp-like waist is no more, the corsets are little more than a girdle, and the waists are allowed their natural space. As time goes on and the ex- pectant mother increases in size, she should make certain that her corsets are just as loose as ever. The woman who is proud of her physical grace and form is normal, but the woman who, by means of tight corsets or by hanging heavy garments on the hips and across the abdomen, deprives her unborn child of a fraction of an inch in which to grow, is criminally negligent of the rights of her baby. I do not believe that one out of a hundred ex- pectant mothers who complain that their condi- tion has brought on nervousness is right, or has any excuse for “nerves.” It is simply another form of worry. If she keeps it up she will in- jure her child. If she regards the situation in its right light there will be no nervousness. She should keep constantly in her mind thoughts of the pleasure that maternity is to bring her. Never call up phantoms or false pictures of what may happen. Think only of the coming child, the laughing, happy, chubby, hungry baby. There is no call for nervousness, there is nothing in ex- pectant motherhood that gives excuse for ner- vousness, and the woman who gives way to it is injuring, not only her own health, but is taking just so much strength and health from the little body. What I have said about “breathing for two” may be said of sleeping. The sleep the expectant mother has found sufficient should be increased. It may be necessary to arise at a certain hour. If so, add the sleep on the other end. Retire earlier. Perhaps you are thoroughly rested when you awake and get up, but this is not always true. A great many people are fairly well rested, but not thoroughly rested and there’s a big dif- ference. This is especially important. A_ little extra sleep will do no harm. On the other hand, the lack of even a quarter of an hour’s necessary sleep is harmful under these conditions. Bear in mind always that “other one,” and that whatever harms you harms the child unborn. The Question of Food Our grandmothers used to say, “You must eat for two.” In a way this is true, but the state- ment is misleading in that it has led many a woman to eat more than she cared for. When we have eaten sufficient, to eat more is distress- ing. Anything that distresses brings trouble. The mother-to-be will eat enough for two quite naturally, since her condition is natural. She will unconsciously do this and it is-not advisable to attempt to eat more than is wanted. “What shall I eat?” is the commonest question we hear. There is a simple rule for this, “Eat whatever you want so long as it does not hurt you.” It is quite natural for women in this con- dition to crave many unusual things, such as strawberries in December, or quantities of pickled limes, or pork chops, or almost any other edible that is unusual. The unsatisfied craving for any- thing of this sort is not good. Satisfy the crav- ing if possible. If it hurts you, do not eat it,

Page 15

for May, 1917 rk ee oor ooo but it is seldom that any .food the expectant mother craves will do her the least harm. There is one important consideration that every expectant mother should constantly remember and that is the condition of the excretory organs; the skin, kidneys, and bowels. She must get rid of, not only her own waste products, but those of her unborn child. To aid in this a light laxative diet is generally necessary. This diet, however, must at the same time be sufficient to satisfy her‘ hunger in every way and it must be nutritious. Always consult your physician about these things, but if you chance to live where it is not possible to consult a physician frequently, there is no cause for worry providing you know a lit- tle about the ideal diet. Such a diet consists of a larger proportion of liquids than usual and a smaller proportion of meats, at the same time the expectant mother should eat more fresh fruits and. fresh vege- tables. The average physician advises meat but once a day, and sparingly then, but gives an un- usually large choice of other foads. It is important that liquids should form a large part of the diet. Naturally the proper amount to be taken may vary in different ‘cases, but at least two quarts of liquids should be taken every twenty-four hours, and sonie- times three quarts. Do not be afraid to drink quantities of water. From four to eight glasses a day should be taken. Other liquids are also included in the foods and consist of sweet milk, buttermilk, broths, soups, chocolate, and cocoa. Milk can never be regarded too highly in the prenatal diet. If the habit of drinking milk is thoroughly established, it will serve as a most valuable preparation for maternal nursing. Sometimes milk has a tendency to constipate, but the careful and constant use of a laxative diet will counteract this in almost every instance. If the expectant mother does not take kindly to milk it is extremely unfortunate and she should make every effort to cultivate this taste. The expectant mother must abstain totally and absolutely from alcohol in every form. If mothers could only know the manner in which alcohol may enter the foetal system prac- tically undiluted and unchanged, they would shun it as they would shun a deadly poison. If they are in the habit of using tea and coffee every day, it is better to gradually cut out their tea and coffee until, by the end of the fifth month, they are drinking very little or none. What Constitutes a Laxative Diet Chronic constipation will prove ‘extremely harmful to the child, and almost every mother- to-be suffers in this manner. There is a purely physiological reason for this. Some of the slowly enlarging organs bring internal pressures to bear, and this causes a tendency to constipation. It becomes more pronounced in the later months. Throughout the entire period of gestation it is absolutely important that there be a free move- ment of the bowels at least once a day. If it is not natural, then it must be brought about by a laxative, but always remember that these laxa- tives should be in the form of foods, purgatives, or enemas. If the woman is careful to adopt the proper diet made up of a combination of nourish- ing and laxative foods, the purgatives will never be necessary. x A diet that contains laxatives of a nature fit- ting for every expectant mother includes ap- ples, peaches, plums, grapes, pineapples, cher- ries, figs, prunes, oranges, pears, apricots, grape- fruit, raspberries, and strawberries. These, ex- ‘cepting prunes and figs, must always be fresh, and out of this long list there is some fruit easy to secure at all times of the year. In addition to this I advocate cooked fruit, such as pears, apricots, peaches, apples, figs, and prunes. With the exception of figs and prunes these are not quite as effective as the fresh fruits, but they may be even more freely eaten than the others. There are also the foods consisting of various grains. and whole ‘wheat bread and corn-meal. Oatmeal and grits are both valuable, as they stimulate an increased activity of the intestines. One of the very best of laxatives is bran. This should never be taken with an idea that it is nourishing, for it is not, but it thoroughly cleans the stomach and intestines, and physicians are learning more and more of its great value. : A bread made of bran is excellent and should be made as follows: One cup of cooking mo- Probably the best among these is graham’ lasses, one teaspoonful of soda, cne small tea- spoonful of salt, one pint of sour milk or butter- milk, one quart of bran, one pint of flour. Stir well, and bake for one hour in a very slow oven. It may be baked in a loaf, or in gem-pans, as preferred. The bread should be fresh and ten- der, and may be eaten freely, day after day. Fresh vegetables and such vegetables as are kept through the winter, all have laxative prop- erties. The green vegetables are especially good and those that may be eaten with olive oil are even better. These include lettuce, watercress, celery, spinach, string beans, carrots, lima beans, potatoes, peas, tomatoes, asparagus, and onions. Of these, spinach is probably better than any. Special Remedies for Constipation When the expectant mother follows this diet with care, and yet constipation seems to persist, senna, a well-known remedy, may be tried. There are many mixtures of senna, two of the best known and most successful are; Senna Prunes —Place an ounce of senna leaves in a jar and pour a quart of boiling water over them. Let them stand two hours, then strain, and add a pound of thoroughly washed prunes with the clear liquid. Allow them to soak overnight and in the morning cook them in the same water until they are tender. Two tablespoonfuls of brown sugar should be used for sweetening. At first eat half a dozen of the prunes at night with the syrup and if the results are not satis- factory increase this amount. If the constipa- tion is overcome, decrease it. Still another good mixture is senna with prunes and figs. This does not need to be cooked. Wash a pound of dried figs, and a pound of dried prunes.’ Remove the stones from the prunes and soak them for an hour, unless they are extremely moist. Put both of these fruits through a food-chopper, adding at the same time two ounces of finely powdered senna leaves. Make a thick paste of this by stirring in two spoonfuls of molasses. At bed-time eat of this paste a quantity about the size of an egg. Keep the mixture covered in a glass jar and keep it cool. Always sleep with windows open, and if pos- sible an open-air sleeping porch is advisable. The skin needs especial care, for through mil- lions of pores much more waste material is thrown off than we realize. The moment the sweat glands are clogged the waste products are retained in the blood until they can be carried away by the lungs, bowels, and kidneys, and all this overburdens the functions of these organs. The entire body should be washed every day. This may be a shower, tub, or sponge bath. A mild shower is preferable every day. It is bet- ter to go without soap than without the shower, although both should be used, as the shower stimulates the circulation. If the water is the least bit cool it will prevent taking cold. If the woman has been used to a daily cold bath she may continue it up to within a month of con- finement, but never unless she is thoroughly used to it. Always follow it with a good rub-down to bring a healthy glow. It is better to take tle warm bath with soap at night two or three times a week. There is one thing the pregnant woman should remember about baths, and that is to avoid the hot bath all through the nine months, at the times of her normal periods. The Care of the Teeth Since pregnancy so tends to decay the teeth, much trouble will be averted by having them put in perfect condition. This will prevent s-rious trouble, as bad teeth will always have a bad effect upon the health of the child. The fact has long been established that a child gains fully nine-tenths of its weight and tissues after the fifth month of pregnancy, consequently there is much need for the mother to take great care in her selection of nourishing foods at this period. The unborn child gains half its weight in the last eight weeks. For this reason the mother demands an increase in foods during this period, and these foods should all be of a heat and energy-giving nature. One of the best methods of supplying this need is to take a glass of milk now and then between meals, and at bedtime. Light broth or soup may be taken with a small biscuit, but milk is better. Eating lightly several times a day frequently does much to relieve nausea. US Te Sts Sa St a es ee eee es Sees a sess aes ones ame tens aes 655s samae Sees ames see Two Item np News Publishers of The Modern Priscilla Buy Home Needle- work Magazine Home Needle work Magazine has gone out of existence as a sep- arate publication. The April number was the last issue. This is of interest to Priscillareaders because the publishers of The Modern Priscilla have bought Home Needle- work Magazine. The subscription lists of the two publications will be combined. Every Home Needlework subscriber will be given as many issues of The Modern Priscilla as was due her on her unex- pired Home Needlework subscription. In case a woman happens to have been a subscriber for both magazines, her Priscilla subscription will be ex- tended for the full term of her unex- pired Home Needlework subscription. If YOU have been a subscriber for both “magazines please note the following: The ex- piration date that appears on the wrapper of your Priscilla will beadvancedas many months as your Home Needlework subscription would have continued for. BUT—don’t be surprised if this change does not appear before JUNE, as there is an immense amount of detail work involved in a consolidation of this kind. ANOTHER THING! If you happen to get two copies of The Modern Priscilla with different expiration dates, please notify us at once. Probably this will not happen, but it might, as our clerks are human and occasion- ally make mistakes like the rest of the world. Freight Cars Loaded with Magazines are Many Priscilla sub- scribers have received recent issues of the Magazine much Jater than they should have. Delayed at Thousands of our read- ers have complained to Many Points : us on this account. In more than a few cases magazines have been so late as to justify the conclusion they were not mailed by us at all. When a subscriber has taken this view of the matter we have immediately sent a second copy, although we have been morally certain that the first copy was mailed as usual, and that in due time both copies would be received. Now what’s the trouble? The answer is delayed delivery, due largely to the Post Office Department’s practice of shipping mag- azine mail by FREIGHT. All publishers have suffered from this during the past winter, and the trouble still continues. General business conditions have brought about freight con- gestion at many points. As these words are written, we have before us a statement to the effect that EIGHTEEN THOUSAND loaded freight cars bound for the West have recently been stalled in the rail- road yards of a single city. Without question some ofthese eighteen thousand cars were loaded with magazines, ours and others. These magazines were mailed early enough so they should have reached subscribers on time. But they were undoubtedly Jate, Please Don’t Complain Until — We do not like these conditions, but to remedy them is beyond our power. All wecan do is to mail magazines as early as possible, and then ask our subscribers to wait at least until the frst of the mnonth before complaining, In this way the unneces- sary duplication of many copies will be avoided. The Post Office Department is doing its best to remedy matters, and we are hoping for an early im- provement.

The Modern Priscilla Convenience and Economy in the Nursery Discoveries Made by Priscilla Mothers To make the Baby Basket—Give the outside two coats of the white paint and one of enamel, allowing each to dry thoroughly and pad the entire inside with cotton wadding. The lining should be yard-wide ma- terial. Cut it into four pieces, twenty-six inches long, and sew together on the machine. Six inches from one edge of this long ~ strip, gather it to fit around the” top edge of the basket, the six- inch part forming the overhanging ruffle. The ruffle is slit twice to fit through each handle and all edges are hemmed. The handles are padded with cotton and wound launder easily, because they open flat—Mrs. J. L. H. Renewing Soft Shoes—I rip out the worn soles of Baby’s soft shoes and using them for a pattern cut new ones from an old felt hat or heavy woolen material. I turn the uppers wrong side out and stitch in the new soles with a tiny seam, turn them back again and have shoes that will outwear new ones.—Mrs. M. R. _A Bath Table — A table made with long legs to fit over the bath- tub is an especially wise provision for a very young baby and a com- fort to the mother.. Put the bath = water in a bowl on the table, which with ribbon. Fasten the lining firmly around the edge of the bot- tom of the inside of the basket, distributing the gathers evenly and fasten at upper edge with tiny tacks. Sew together four twenty-three-inch strips of the muslin and hem. one long edge, sew the lace on the other long edge, and six inches from the top of the lace take up an inch plait and shirr to form a heading around the basket edge. Cut and hem slits for handles, Catch the covering here and there along the top edge of the basket and run ribbon in _ beading. Edging Slips and Panties—I find crocheting a tiny edge on baby slips and little panties much easier and quicker than putting on fac- ings, and it is very pretty—Mrs. I. M. S. An Easily Laundered Dress—I have made all of my baby’s short dresses to button the full length of the back. They look sweeter and A Baby Basket for $3.00 By Aletha B. Walker The materials needed are a 36-inch flat laundry basket which can be purchased at any department or hardware store for about 95 cents; 14 pint each of white enamel and white paint, 50 cents; a small brush, 20 cents; | roll of cotton to pad the inside of the basket, 20 cents; 3 yards of pink or blue lining at 12!4 cents, 38 cents; 214 yards of dotted muslin at 15 cents, 38 cents; 4 yards of combination lace and beading at 6 cents, 24 cents; 5 yards baby ribbon to run in beading, 10 cents and 2 yards of |-inch ribbon to wind handles, 10 cents, making a total cost of $3.00. should be covered with a thick pad or towel, to absorb all water and make a soft place to lay the baby on. The table should be large enough to hold all the bath accessor- ies, such as soap, powder, eye wash, pincush- ion, towels, wash-cloths, etc. When Baby gets large enough to sit in the tub without support the legs can be removed from the table and it can be placed across one end of the tub, making a convenient place to dress him. — MirssubaG. J. For the Creeping Stage—The best thing | have found for a baby to creep in is a pair of pants made from black sateen of good qual- ity, shirred at the waist and knees with elas- tic cord. These can be easily slipped on over a dress and are quickly pulled off to change the baby.—Mrs. L. C. J. Helps with Older Children Nighties with Feet—I have my little boy wear nighties with feet attached. He used to stretch and tear them by drawing his feet up out of the stocking legs and then kicking them back into the wrong place. I have solved that difficulty by attaching a tape about two inches above each heel, long enough to tie snugly around the ankle. These prevent the feet from leaving their proper place, and the garments last much longer.—Mrs. F. N. G. K. A Darning Help—A quick and easy way to darn children’s stockings is by cat-stitching, thus crossing two strands of darning cotton. The stitches give and do not wear as quickly as the usual darning, and are smooth and soft. This is also a neat way to mend a three-cor- nered tear.—Mrs. F. F. Washing in Cold Weather—I am sure this will be appreciated by mothers of large fam- ilies or any one who has many small pieces to hang out in winter when the fingers get so cold hanging them and still colder taking them in all frozen. Take white tape in three or four yard lengths, sit down by the fire and pin each piece to the tape with common pins. It takes only a moment to fasten the tape to the line and there are no torn pieces when they are removed.—C. D. D. Adjustable Skirts — When making under- skirts for small children, attach the skirt to a waist and leave the shoulder seams open, fastening with button and buttonhole or small pins. The length of the skirt can then be ad- justed from the shoulder to suit any dress length.—Mrs. J. S. M. My Best Help—lI have three children to sew for and I make fancy-work to sell. This has been one of my best labor-savers. Use only one number of thread for general sewing. No. 70 white is fine enough for lawn and ging-,, ham and heavy enough for undermuslins. Fill all machine bobbins and place full spool on You will not have to stop to match No. 70 can be easily ripped when children’s clothes need altering, while a coarser thread is apt to tear. Use Lengthening Last Year’s Embroidered Dresses A mother told me the other day that she was greatly distressed because she saw no way of using her little girl’s embroidered dresses which were new last summer. Even after letting out the hems they were too short. I suggested that she cut the skirts off, leaving butterfly yoke and sleeves and plait or gather on new skirts of blue or pink if the yoke was white. The old skirts would be left to use for yokes and sleeves on other dresses and could be cut ac- cording to the two suggestions above, the upper one having turn-back cuffs cut from the em- broidery and edged with val lace to match neck and yoke edge. The second was cut from a skirt edged with scalloping and has sleeves joined to the yoke with beading.—Mrs. W. J. S. A prize of $2.00 is offered for the best “Help” each month, $1.00 each for second, third, and fourth best, and 50 cents each for all others published. Address, Needle Helps Department. Send nothing already ac- cepted or published by any magazine. No contribu- tions returned unless accompanied by stamped, ad- dressed envelope. No. 40 for sewing on buttons and making but tonholes.—Mrs. A. W. J. Bedroom Slippers for Children—Very com- fortable bedroom slippers for the children can be made from scraps of double-faced cloth, wool velours, or any heavy cloth and the arm of a long kid glove, one glove cutting two soles for children up to eight years. Use an old slipper as a pattern, or outline the child’s foot with chalk on the cloth, cut the sole one or two layers thick, and cut the bottom layer from the kid glove. Tack the kid to the cloth sole; cut out the upper and tack to the sole, having the seam to the outside. Now stitch on the machine and ornament the seam with blanket-stitch done in wool or mercerized cot- ton. Bind the top of slipper with a bias piece of silk, or blanket-stitch to match the sole. Run elastic through the binding if desired. A pair made a year ago are still in use, and took but an hour to make—Mrs. F. M. To Please Small Boys—I have found a very attractive decoration for little boys’ rompers, morning suits, etc. Cut a rabbit, elephant, or some other favorite animal out of the material the suit is trimmed with, and sew it flat on the pocket of the blouse. This will please him immensely and add to the appearance of the suit.—E. H. Little Dresses from Shirt Waists—I had sey- eral of my shirt-waists which were beautifully embroidered but past service because worn un- der the arms, and tried an experiment that proved a success. I cut the waist down to make a long-waisted dress for my four-year- old daughter, using for the skirt a pretty piece of nine-inch embroidery. The result was a lovely little white dress. Carriage Covers—The white corduroy uphol- stering in my baby carriage became soiled, and I purchased three fine white linen handker- chiefs (men’s) and a box of white-headed pins. The handkerchiefs I pinned securely to the buggy. These covers are easily taken off and laundered, and now my carriage has a neat appearance at all times.—C.

The two on page 14 can be traced for the same purpose or to decorate place-cards. Cut - outs from old magazines can be pasted on, if the hostess has no © skill for tracing and _ coloring. The wording may be somewhat as fol- lows: Sir Stork arrived some weeks ago At some one’s house you see, So bring a baby gift with you And come and lunch with me Next Tuesday noon at half-past one (We'll sit and sew till tea) And please to keep the whole affair In strictest secrecy! Of course the new mother, in whose honor the luncheon is given, should receive only a formal little note inviting her to luncheon on the given date, and asking her to bring her sewing and come prepared to spend the afternoon. The decorations should be in pink and pale blue, the baby colors. The flowers used, apple blossoms and for- get-me-nots, can be real or artificial. Tf the latter, For the New Mother By Martha Luncheon 3. Use the stork and mirror centrepiece, hid- ing the edges of the mirror with asparagus fern, and using alter- nate sprays of artificial forget-me-nots and ap- ple blossoms around the edge. From the chande- - lier, four broad (two to three inch) streamers of satin ribbon, two pink and two blue, alternat- ing, run to the four corners of the table and are fastened with a bunch of the flowers. In any of the decoration schemes given above, small bonbon-dishes for candies or salted nuts should be made of the crépe paper and tied daintily with narrow ribbon. These should be of the pale blue crépe to contrast with pink candies, as unfortunately there are practically no candies in the proper shade of blue. In pink, tiny checkerberry mints, pink curls, pink buttercups or pincushions, and many others will suggest themselves. The menu should be carried out as much as possible in the two prevail- ing colors of pink and blue. Tiny bows of ribbon in contrasting color tied to bouillon cups and the base of coupe glasses add attractiveness to the serving of the menu. Most of the recipes for the dishes are found in any one can procure beautiful sprays of artificial ap- ple blossoms at any Japanese store, and they are not very ex- pensive. Forget- me-nots will have to be found at a milliner’s. If the luncheon is given toward the mid- dle of May, there should be no dif- ficulty in finding apple blossoms.

Below are three suggestions for dec- orating the table. 1. On a white table-cloth lay two strips of pale pink crépe paper, cross- ing in the centre and extending to the bottom of the table-cloth. At in- tervals along the edges of the paper pin tiny sprays of artificial forget- me-nots. Place a wreath of the same blossoms interspersed with as- paragus fern around a centrepiece, consisting of a well-flowered pot of real forget-me-nots. The pot should be tied in pink crépe paper, and have four tiny papier-maché storks from the Japanese store standing in is. 2. Use pale blue crépe paper in the same manner as described above. In the centre of the table set a large papier-maché stork (about eight inches high) and use two of the curved parterre flower dishes filled with sprays of apple blossoms (real or artificial) to flank it. A small mir- ror, perhaps six inches across, its edges hidden with fern, makes an at- tractive base for the stork, and re- flects the decorations prettily. till the skin is crisp and well browned. Baste frequently with a lit- tle hot water, and plenty of melted butter. When done put chicken in a large hot casserole, and prepare a gravy as follows: Add sufficient boil- ing water to the browning in the pan, thicken in the usual manner with flour and water, and use enough kitchen bouquet to give it a rich brown color. To this add one tablespoonful onion juice and grated pulp, a tea- spoon (scant) of celery salt, and salt and pepper to flavor. Cut fine one small ten-cent bottle of pimolas. Strain the gravy over the chicken in the casserole, and sprinkle the pimo- las over the top. This sauce may be varied with pimentoes or mushrooms. One-quarter chicken must be allowed to each portion. : Pimento Mousse Salad To one can of clear chicken bouil- lon, add enough grated onion, celery salt, salt, and pepper to season highly.

When the guests ‘go into the other room the guest for whom the lunch- eon is given looks under the clock, and finds another slip, reading per- haps, “Look inside the cover of Modern Priscilla on the centre table!” There she finds still another slip directing her somewhere else. At every fourth or fifth slip, she finds one of the presents brought by the other guests. After the enjoyment of finding and opening the presents is over, the party settles down to what a college man calls a “talk fest” and needles and tongues fly.

AE Sb ake perhaps, of c ons tantly “ sewing a long white seam” on the lavender- scented linen sheets of her own spinning, she searched about for something a bit more frivolous, and found it in a roll of soft unbleached cloth, and a bit of fine calico which her own mother had brought from England years before. With a crochet-hook and needle she fashioned a dainty table-cover to suit her fancy, and now her own great-granddaughter with her up-to- date cedar “hope chest” is copying the quaint patchwork, with its feather-stitching and crocheted bor- der, into a luncheon-set to use when the girls come to take tea with her.

JUNIOR GIRLS: There are many of you who have asked for more fancy-work so this month we will make a doll’s bed-set. Some girls write me that they do not play dolls any more, but I am sure that they know little girls who do and it will be fun to make these things and then use them for birthday or Christmas gifts. “Surely every girl wishes to learn one to sew and make pretty things. I wish that you might see the darling silk muslin bed-puff shown in “the centre of the page. You can make it of either blue or pink and bind it with the same color if you like. Supposing we select blue silk muslin, pink ribbon for binding, and em- broider it in pink, yellow, and green. First put an embroidery hoop over the part of the de- sign that you wish to start on. Select a fairly fine crewel needle and draw two strands from your pink embroidery cotton. Carefully make all the crosses of the flowers except the centre cross in each blossom; this centre cross is yellow. Remember to keep the upper thread of each cross always running in the same direction. Now, take two strands of the green thread and work all the stems in outline-stitch, taking short even stitches. You re- member, of course, that you should work the outline- stitch away from you; that is, you begin at the end of the line nearest you and point the needle toward you and work away from you. When the stems are all fin- ished we will pad the leaves by running little stitches lengthwise and then carefully covering them with satin-stitch running across the padding. Make the stitches even and close together so that the. work really looks satiny and smooth with even edges. Perhaps you have not tried satin-stitch and would not like to practise on this pretty puff. In this case use the lazy-daisy stitch, which is so easy to make. If you will look through the back copies of Tur Moprern PRIscILLA, you will find the lazy-daisy stitch care- fully described and illustrated. When the puff is all embroidered we will put it together. The back is a piece of plain silk muslin of the same color as the front. Cut a sheet of light-weight cotton wadding the same size and put be- tween the back and front, baste all together and then quilt by tak- ing small stitches through from Isn’r mie 4 A Sweer Lirriy Purr ror Douty’s BED?

Now, thread your needle with your blue embroidery cotton. You will notice that this cotton is different from that we used on the puff; this is not stranded and the color is sure to be just as pretty after dolly’s bed linen has been laundered. Do this design entirely in outline-stitch, except the rays on the pansy pet- These rays are but a single straight stitch each. You may work a tiny solid centre for each flower or use two or three French knots if you wish. Seam the pillow-cases across the bottom and up one side before hemming and then hem just as you did the sheet, The embroidery is finished in the same way also. wee will all be curious about the interesting group of Juniors at the top of the page. They are Doretta Lurene, Carol Louise, and James Adams, of New Jersey. “Bob,” the cat, is also an important mem- ber of the group. Perhaps you would like to hear what Lurene wrote about “Bob.” “I am going to tell you about my kitten, she was born without a tail so we know she is a Manx cat. Beside our house there is a large field and “Bob” almost lives in that field. When my father calls her, she jumps and runs for the back-door, and she goes to my father and curls up in his lap for a sleep. “One day I was cleaning the liv- ing-room and when I looked out of the window I saw a bunch of white butterflies around “Bob.” She made such a pretty picture and looked so cute bobbing her head about trying to watch all the butterflies at once. One time she caught a big one and carried it to Sister. “There is an old sea captain across the street from us. He is very good to us and lets us play with his picture puzzles. He has thirty-two of them! Once he re- ceived a large parcel and what do: you suppose was in it? A big boat from one of his friends at sea, and it had a cunning little bit of a boat with oars! This sea captain tells us of his wonderful voyages around the world.” entines you sent me last Febru- There were so many of them that I could not find time to thank each of you separately.

The logical selection of dentifrice is the one that will protect both your teeth and gums. Sozodont Liquid Dentifrice is made for that particular purpose, and very rea- sonably should be your choice. It is the finished product, resulting from years of search and research in our laboratory. 23 Regular users of Sozodont, some/ of whom have given it the test of years, Your teeth will attest to the facts we state. Sozodont, with the same basic elements, is alsomade in Paste and Powder form, but our first recommendation is Sozo- dont Liquid. Because of its nature, its action is rapid from the brush, and while it is thoroughly cleansing the teeth, it gently comes into contact with the gum tissue, preventing the re- cession of the gums, and provides every other function possible in a dentifrice. It has harmless, but very effective, antiseptic properties prepared in due consideration of the delicate membrane that nature has placed in the gums and mouth.

Nothing makes us feel more strongly the marvel of a single human life and at the same time wonder at the myriad lives which have peopled the earth. The mother who to-day plans the daintiest of layettes is, in spirit, doing what mil- lions of other mothers in many centuries have done. From the swaddling clothes of the ancient East to the simple, ex- quisite garments of to-day, each has given to the clothing in which her child was to be wrapped the same dreams and devotion. In olden times it was love and tradition alone which guided the mother. Now we have science in addition to these. The modern mother plans first of all for what, in the light of our present knowledge, will make her baby most truly comfortable. Materials are her first thought. Silk is soft to the touch, but it must be discarded for use where it comes in contact with the skin because it is not absorbent, If the baby per- spires, silk clothing grows clammy and may chill the delicate skin. Linen is not used because it has the same chilling prop- erty. Cotton is better and is therefore chosen for diapers and for summer underclothes. Wool is the best material of all, though it must have a cotton or a silk warp. All wool fabrics shrink badly in washing and grow uncomfortably stiff with continued use. Wool should be shrunken before it is made up. : For slips or dresses, fine nainsook and batiste are the best materials. Nainsook is best for the every-day slips, and ba- tiste for the “company” dress. The layette on this page is one actually made by a thought- ful young mother for her baby. The list of what she con- sidered a minimum number of pieces appears above. This is a pretty complete and dependable list. Variations from it will largely depend on how often the tiny clothes are to be laundered. The construction and ornamentation of all the baby’s clothes is simplicity itself. The days when a mother tired herself nervously and physically in making an elaborate set of garments are happily past. We know now, too, that the truest beauty lies in lovely texture, workmanship, and spot- less cleanliness. Overdecorated clothes are never more out of place than on a tiny baby. The patterns and the stitches should be small and delicate to harmonize with the being, only about sixteen inches long, for whom they are planned.

No, 17-5-81 BeLtow — WHITE FLANNEL GERTRUDE The method of working No. 17- 5-70 is clearly tail above. The long petals are worked across, and the small pet- als in the centre are worked fom centre outward. N making dresses or slips remember that the baby’s skin is exceedingly tender. Ruffles or lace that would chafe are therefore to be avoided. The kimono-cut garment is slightly easier to put on and take off than the set-in sleeve. Bobbin tape adjusts and fastens neck and wrist bands easily and is not so hard to fasten as are buttons. Twenty- seven inches is the approved length for the long clothes. A baby, when completely dressed for the house, wears a flan- nel binder, a shirt, a flannel petticoat fastened at the shoul- ders, a soft thin cotton petticoat, cut like the flannel one, and a simple dress or slip, socks, and diapers. For outdoor wear, a hood cape and plenty of blankets are all it is necessary to add. The binder is a strip of soft flannel eight inches wide and eighteen inches long. It should not be hemmed. In all the garments every effort must be made to prevent irritating ridges and lumps. Seams should be flat. In flannel garments bind edges with silk seam binding or turn edges over and feather-stitch flat on right side. The little garments on these pages are all simply made and embroidered. The dresses are all white and have fine pat- terns of French and eyelet work. The gertrudes are in satin- stitch; the flannel one embroidered with silk as are hood cape and blanket. The long kimono has wide bands of blue or pink crépe de Chine and a design in blue with dots, buds and flowers in pink; the sleeves are scalloped with blue. The Turkish toweling bath-set is cross-stitched in two shades of rose and green; a diagram sent with patterns shows how: the colors are placed. Diagrams help with the little towels, No. 17-5-84 and No. 17-5-78, also. The former has words in outline, oval in brier-stitch, flowers French knots, and leaves lazy-daisy; the same stitches with the exception of brier- stitch are used on the other and both are in boil-proof shades of blue, pink, yellow, and green.

26 Even She Had orns Until a little while ago she thought them unavoidable. If you have corns don’t blame your- self too much. Many an old person has had them fifty years. ET they have done what you do—pared them and used old- time, useless treatments. But what folly it is when nowa- days about half the world keeps free. The chemist who invented Blue- jay made corns forever needless. Last year some 17 million corns were ended in this simple, easy way. Just try one corn, BAUER & BLACK Chicago and New York ay na of Surgicai Dressings, etc. Blue -jay Apply a Blue-jay plaster in a jiffy. Then forget it. It will never pain again. In two days take the plaster off. The corn will disappear. Only one corn in ten needs another appli- cation. You will laugh at the old ways when you try Blue-jay.

for May, 1917 IMPLICITY in design both of dress and embroidery is the feature of the charming frock for a young girl shown at the right. It can be made of linen or cotton, poplin, either white or colored. In either case the collar could be of white and the belt of silk to match the embroidery, which in this case is green and blue. Flower centres and lines are green, and petals blue. Any two colors or two shades of one color could be used instead. The dress can also be cut with short sleeves as seen in the back view. A charming type of the popular slip-on dress is shown in No. 8251. The front is open down far enough to slip the garment on over the head and closed up to the collar. For description of embroidery designs, see page 30. Back VIEW or No. 8242 Cutting patterns of No. 8251 and No. 8242, 36 to 42; No. 8152, 24 to 34 waist; and No. 8207, 16 to 20. Price, 15 cents each. DETAIL OF DETAIL OF No. 8251 No. 8207 And a Suit nith Sleeveless Coat ITTLE slip-on coats without ’ sleeves are very smart and are worn over a lingerie dress or as part of a linen suit. The suit illus- trated below is of white linen, and the embroidery lightly padded and worked in satin-stitch is all white. Dots may be worked in eyelets if preferred. If this is to be worn separately over a thin dress a heavier quality of fabric could be used. Another attractive feature of the coat is that it has no side seams. The back is lapped onto the front, and held in position by a button. In this way the coat can be made flat, and the matter of fitting is easily adjusted by lap- ping the edges more or less as required.

for May, 1917 IMONO cut dresses are probably the fa- vorite for young girls. | Because of their suita- bility and becomingness as well as their facility of making and launder- ing. The little dress above should be of white linen or lawn, and the embroidery in French and eyelet work is all in white. Edges may be finished with colored binding or, if one pre- fers, the bottom may be hemmed, and neck and sleeves edged with lace. VEN the _ present high cost of fabrics should not deprive the little girl of her com- fortable middy dress for hot weather, The blouse of this one is made of linen-finished cotton or cotton poplin. The skirt may be of the same ma- terial or of poplin in a contrasting color. Em- broidery is done in two shades of the _ color chosen for the skirt. A detail above shows the method of working. Col- lar ‘of —(Now 8194*is worked in the same way. ‘Styles in For description of embroidery designs, see page 30 OKE dresses are more becoming to some children, and if the top part is kimono cut they are very easily made and will also give variety to the little one’s wardrobe. The yoke of the one at the right is pointed in front and straight across the back. Embroidery may be all white or a delicate color.

Under the dress is worn a pair of bloomers, made of the same material, and what child will not- just enjoy. the ample patch pocket on either side? The dress should be made of chambray or gingham and_ trimmed with linen or the same material in a contrasting color. MORE | dignified dress for after- noon is shown at the right. Colored linen would be a delightful material for this dress, although chambray would be very satisfactory. The collar and _ belt should be of white linen or piqué. Even a little girl could embroider the simple design on the col- lar, which is all worked in satin-stitch. A leather belt would look well in- stead of the one of cloth. It could be black or white. earn athome 3 1s summer to YourOwn The Woman’s Institute has solved absolutely—for you and your chil the problemof dress.

for May, 1917 toSEtEasety Devoted to Practical Household Problems NY mother can meet the following deti- nition of a satisfactory diet for a little child: A little child three to six years of age who is carefully fed in accord- ance with his bodily needs (as these are now understood) receives every day at least one food from each of the following groups: 1. Milk and dishes made chiefly of milk (most important of the group as regards chil- dren’s diet) ; meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and meat substitutes. 2. Bread and other cereal foods. 3. Butter and other wholesome fats. 4. Vegetables and fruits. 5. Simple sweets. The relation of food to the condition of the bowels is an important matter. Grains, particularly those containing the outer or bran- ny layers or coats, are laxative; so, too, are such mildly acid fruits as apples, oranges, and grapefruit. So far, therefore, as the impor- tant matter of preventing constipation is con- cerned, coarse grains and mildly acid fruits serve the same purpose. When fruits are to be obtained in abundance, the kind of cereal served is not of great importance. When they are not, the coarser cereals should be used. The basis of a child’s diet should be clean whole milk —at least a quart a day. Such milk, in addition to water, contains about half a cupful of the very best food substances — butterfat, milk sugar, lime and other mate- rials needled by the child to make muscle, bones, and teeth. In addition milk contains a sub- stance thought to promote growth by helping the body make good use of other foods. Where good whole milk is not obtainable, clean, fresh skim milk supplies these substances with the exception of the butterfat, and is preferable to dirty or questionable whole milk. Milk contains very little iron, therefore spinach and other green vegetables and egg yolks, which are rich in iron, combine well with milk. The child should drink the milk with the chill taken off, or should consume his full quart a day with cereals and in milk toast, cocoa, milk soups and stews, in cereal puddings, egg-and- milk puddings, custards, junkets, or simple ice- creams. Milk stews may be made with vege- tables or fish, or to vary the diet these things can be combined with cream sauce and served on milk toast. Farmers’ Bulletin 717, “Food for Young Chil- dren,” gives helpful directions and _ practical recipes for the preparation of foods, among them a large number for the preparation of various milk dishes which will help children consume the requisite amount of milk with- out growing tired of this valuable food. Well-baked bread and thoroughly cooked breakfast cereals are both good for children, and with milk should make up a large part of the diet. Bread and ‘cereal mushes are, to a certain extent interchangeable, but neither can may be used for variety. in large pieces, and are therefore not desirable. get too much. and Intelligently Given. Questions Every Mother Should Ask Herself at the Close of the Day ID each child take about a quart of milk in some form? Has the milk that comes to my house been handled in a clean way? If | was obliged to serve skim milk for the sake of cleanness or economy, did | supply a little extra fat? Were the fats of the wholesome kind found in milk, cream, butter, and salad oils, or of the unwholesome kind found in doughnuts and other fried foods? Did I make good use of all skim milk in the preparation of cereal mushes, puddings, or other- wise? Were cereals thoroughly cooked? Was the bread soggy? If so, was it because the loaves were ton large, or not cooked long enough? Did I take pains to get a variety of foods from the cereal group by serving a cereal mush once dur- ing the day? ‘ Did I keep in mind that cereal foods, while good in themselves, do not take the place of meat, milk, eggs, fruit, and vegetables? Did I keep in mind that children who do not have plenty of fruit and vegetables need whole-wheat bread and whole grains served in other ways? Did each child have an egg or its equivalent in meat, fish, or poultry? Did any child have more than this of flesh foods or eggs? If so, might the money not have been better spent for fruits or vegetables? If unable to get milk, meat, fish, poultry, or eggs, did I serve dried beans, or other legumes thoroughly cooked and carefully seasoned? Were vegetables and fruits both on the day’s bill of fare once? Might we have raised them in our home garden? Did fruit or vegetable dis- agree with the child? If so, ought I to have cooked it more thoroughly, chopped it more finely, or removed the skins or seeds? Were sweets given between meals, or anything that tempted the child to eat when he was not hungry? Was he allowed to eat sweets when he should have been having substantial foods? Were sweets given unmixed with much fat or with hard substances difficult to chew, and not too highly flavored? Was the food served in a neat and orderly way, and did the child chew his food properly? take the place of milk, meat, eggs, fruits, and vegetables. of bread is equal in food value to about half a cupful of boiled or steamed cereal and about a cupful of flaked or puffed cereal. Different kinds of bread The veast-raised bread given to young children should be at least a day old, or should be toasted or twice baked. Hot breads are likely to be sw allowed Hot breads which are almost all crust, like thin tea biscuits or crisp rolls, are best of the hot varieties. In some families children do not get enough meat and eggs; in others they A good general rule commonly followed is to give a child An ordinary slice The Right Food for Young Children Much of the Mental and Moral, and all of the Physical Growth of a Child Depends on Simple Wholesome Food, Well Selected, Carefully Prepared It is up to the Mothers and Nurses two years old or over an egg every other ie and about the same amount (two ounces ) of meat, fish, or poultry on the intervening days. Where meat is omitted, care must be taken to see that other suitable foods take its place — preferably an extra amount of milk and eggs. Fried meats should not be given to a child. Meat is best given as broiled chop meat or in simple meat stews combined with vegetables. Poultry may be boiled and served with rice. When roasted, only the tender portions should be fed. Highly seasoned stuffing or rich gravy should not be given to a young child. ‘Dried and other fish, and oysters, may be used in milk stews. Well-boiled fish is good for variety. Eggs must not be overcooked or they are likely to cause indigestion. The best way to cook eggs is to poach or coddle them. Scrambled eggs may be served occasionally, provided care is taken not to score h the fat or to overcook the eggs. Fat is an important part of the food of chil- dren. There is more than an ounce of fat (at least two and one-half level tablespoonfuls) in a quart of whole milk. If the healthy child is given a quart of milk, has butter on his bread, and meat or an egg once a day, he gets enough fat, and that which he receives is in wholesome form. It is well, therefore, not to give such fatty foods as” pastry, fried meats and vegetables, doughnuts or rich cakes. If the child is constipated, the occasional use of cream or salad oil is desirable, for fat in abundance is laxative. Bacon or salt pork, cut very thin and care- fully cooked, may be given occasionally, It is very important not to burn the fat. Vegetables and fruits are grouped together because they are similar in that both supply iron, lime, and other mineral matters, and also mild acids. Vegetables are an important, but often a neglected part, of the child’s diet. They should be served at least once a day, as they help to keep the bowels in good condition. Fruits are important for their flavoring, for their laxative effects and doubtless for other reasons, and should be served in some form at least once a day. Fruit juices and the pulp of cooked fruit, baked apples and pears, and stewed prunes, are the safest. The child should not be allowed to eat the skins unless they have been made very tender by cooking. Sugar is a desirable part of the diet, pro- vided it is given in simple sweets and not allowed to take the place of other foods and spoil the child’s appetite. Simple sweets are such things as lump sugar, maple sugar, syrups, honey, and plain candy, and those foods in which sugar is combined in simple forms with fruit juices (in lemonade, water ice, jelly, etc.), with flour or starch, as in plain cakes (cup cake, sponge cake, cookies), and with fruit, as in jams, marmalades, and similar things. To help mothers who are trying so to care for their children that they will grow up into stalwart and efficient men and women, the United States Department of Agriculture last year issued a bulletin, written by Caroline L. Hunt, under the direction of Dr. C. F. Langworthy, Chief of the Office of Home Econom- ics. This -book can be had for the asking. The author has carefully avoided the use of all technical dietary terms or systems of grouping, and has so classified foods that any mother can use the information. simple bills of fare, recipes, and practical directions for preparing foods. The pamphlet is illustrated to show simple and right presentation of the food, and gives a variety of ways in which the necessary quantity of milk may be introduced into the diet of the child.

Other ble fashion. It sets a space apart, too, for the development of the imagination. Children who play only in the “grown-up” parts of the house, in the midst of “great big people perched on_ chairs, stitching tucks and mending tears,” never have quite their needful opportunity for the growth of those deep qualities of mind and heart which come to them when they are by themselves in the land of make-believe. Children who have a_ big, sweet, out-of-doors .to play in, or an attic for rainy days, crammed full of dusty, mysterious treasure, need a special room for recrea- tion less than other children, — but they do need it. Preferably it should not be the room in which they sleep. It is well also to have it as far removed as possible from the living-rooms, so that the noise of the Big Injun age may spend itself wholesomely, without an- noyance to those who need quiet. woods for the purpose are maple and birch. The boards should be not over three inches wide and tongued and grooved. In case any other sort of floor is used it is wise to cover it with linoleum. This is durable, easily cleaned, not slippery, and comfortable under foot. The furniture never ought to be cast-offs from the rest of the house. One of the surest ways to make a child careless about his belongings is to give him discarded things. A few sturdy chairs and a table that will not wobble are the main pieces necessary. These need not be expensive, but they should be carefully designed and made. The pictures on this page furnish admirable examples of standard pieces. A platform about a ‘yard square and six inches high is most important for thrones and prison towers! Some sort of window seat is good to have. This might have a hinged top and form a toy Sunlight is essential to children’s rooms. A sunny corner with windows on both sides is ideal. These will provide proper ven- tilation. : A fireplace is important for ventilation and for other reasons, too. We shall probably never cease to feel the deep influence which the hearth has had on mankind. Some one has said that you can paint a family group around a fireplace, but not around a steam radiator. The hearth is a natural gathering-place, a place where children watch the pictures in the leap- ing flame, where Santa comes at Christmas-time, and where Mother says the quiet, true things which are never forgotten.

for May, 1917 33 alanced Rations for Growing Children By Alice Bradley = »Principal of the Farmer School of Cookery E sometimes hear a mother say, with pride, “My baby eats everything that we eat,” apparently expecting the baby to be capable of discriminating between what is good and bad for itself. Some little peo- ple may for a time be able to take care of all sorts of foods, but. in later years the harmful results of an indiscriminate diet are much in evidence. For the first years of a child’s life milk is the most important article of food. It is given modified by the addition of water, milk~ sugar, and sometimes cream, according to a doctor’s pre- scription, until the baby is a year old, when a quart of whole milk should be taken every day. Orange juice is introduced when the baby is about six months old, at ten months strained barley or oatmeal flour gruel may be added to one of the feedings, at twelve months the soft-cooked yolk of an egg and a small piece of stale bread crust to chew may be given. As the baby grows older, the strained cereal may be replaced by thoroughly cooked, un- strained cereals. Oatmeal is probably the best and should be given several times a week. Prune and apple juice or strained pulp may oc- casionally be substituted for orange juice, and at eighteen months some kind of green vegetable rubbed through a sieve may be given once a day. A little later a baked potato may be introduced, more bread, but always dried bread that requires chewing. Some of the milk may be served made into junket, custard, or milk toast, or the vege- table pulp may be served in milk soup or a white sauce, the full quart being given each day. In these simple foods, milk and eggs, cereals, bread and butter, fruit and vegetables, all of the food stuffs aré provided that a child needs for several years. A small amount, perhaps two ounces, of meat, fish, or poultry may be alter- nated with the egg after the child is two or three years old, if desired. Meat should be carefully cooked by broiling, roasting, or stewing, but fried meat should never be given. Occasionally strained soups made from beans, peas, or lentils may take the place of the meat or eggs. Solving the Problem of Sweets Sugar is a desirable part of the diet as a child grows older, if given in simple forms and in such small quantities that it does not take the place of the other foods that are so important. Plain cookies, stale sponge cake, whole wheat crack- ers, lump sugar, syrup, honey, plain candy, FUEL REQUIREMENTS OF CHILDREN Age goo—1200 Age 2— 5 years 1200—1500 Age 6— 9g years 1400—2000 Age 10—13 years 1800—2260 Age I14—1I7 years 2300—3000 I— 2 years Calories per day Calories per day Calories per day Calories per day Calories per day EE A DAY’S DIETARY FOR A CHILD TEN YEARS OLD Breakfast Orange 1 large Rolled Oats I cup cooked Milk to drink, and for cereal 1 Toast I Butter 100 Calories 100 Calories 150 Calories 100 Calories 50 Calories cup large slice ¥% tablespoon Dinner ounces 100 Calories 100 Calories 100 Calories Hamburg steak 2 Baked potato I Bread 2 Butter for po- tato and bread Asparagus Rice with pine- apple Chocolate sauce Milk to drink thin slices 100 Calories 25 Calories tablespoon stalks 24 cup 200 Calories ‘tablespoons 175 Calories 24 cup 100 Calories Supper % cup slices Y4 tablespoon 100 Calories 100 Calories 50 Calories Vegetable soup Prune bread 2 Butter Peanut butter cookies 2 100 Calories Milk I cup 150 Calories 1900 Calories A VALUABLE OPPORTUNITY If you would like to test your ability to feed your family correctly, prepare a menu as care- fully as you can, considering fuel requirements and food constituents, stating the age, weight, and occupation of each mnvember of your fam- ily, and send it to Miss Bradley, care of THE Mopern Priscitita, 85 Broad Street, Boston. She will mark your paper just as it would be marked if you were attending her classes. A table showing the fuel requirements of adults will be furnished on request, if a stamped, addressed envelope is sent. fruit jellies, and water ices may be included in this group. Such sweets should be given at the end of the meal, after the required amount of milk and bread and other food has been taken. If given between meals, or just before a meal, they spoil the appetite. Fats that are allowed the child should be those found in milk, such as cream or butter, and olive oil or other salad oil, sometimes a bit of bacon; no fried foods. ‘ Meals should be served at regular hours, the number decreasing as the child grows older. At five years the first meal will be breakfast, con- sisting of an orange, baked apple or prunes, ce- real with plenty of milk, and toast with butter; at ten-thirty, a luncheon of milk with bread or whole wheat crackers. The heartiest meal of the day should come at noon and may consist of an egg or its equivalent in meat, fish,/ or chicken, a baked potato, some green vegetable, and a simple dessert made with milk or fruit. Supper should be a simple meal served /early to insure a good night’s sleep. More milk with bread or cereal or milk toast, fruit or jelly, and a simple cooky should be sufficient. Simple Foods Supplying the Required Calories for One Day One quart of milk furnishes about Two small slices bread One tablespoon butter One large orange One egg One-half cup cooked cereal One medium potato Green vegetable Two sugar cookies Sufficient protein is furnished by the milk, egg, bread, and cereals, and the ash constituents are found in the milk, cereal, egg yolk, fruit and vegetable. The calcium required for bones and teeth can hardly be secured except by the use of milk. The egg yolk supplies iron, and the fruit and vegetable more iron and phosphorus. Try the given menu, substituting on dif- ferent days foods of the same general type to provide variety that is desirable in the diet of a child as well as in that of the older person. If a sufficient amount of food is served at meal- time, there will be little call for something to eat between meals. The farmer is very careful of the diet of his blooded stock.

The Modern Priscilla Mixing Brains with Food The Experiment of Dr. Robertson, Who Fed the Chicago Diet Squad on 3£ Cents a Day per Person, has Proved that Any Intelligent Housewife can Provide her Family with a Nourishing and Satisfactory Menu for the Same Sum or Less 7HEN it was announced some time ago that Doctor Robertson had selected six men and six women, who would for two weeks live on a prescribed diet to cost at retail prices not over forty cents a day per person, the undertaking attracted nation- wide attention. Curiously enough, most people missed the main object. The experiment was not to prove that thousands of housewives in this country were maintaining their tables on forty cents or less*per diem per person, but rather to direct the attention of American women, at a time when the whole world is wrestling with the problem of provender, to the necessity of a carefully selected, properly prepared and balanced dietary for this figure; not how to live for forty cents a day, but how to live really well on a moderate sum. It was also intended to call the attention of housewives to the fact that may nutritious and tasty dishes could be prepared out of less expensive material than they were using, that a very great variety could also be obtained at small cost, thus doing away with the deadly routine of many low-cost tables, and finally that in the fight against the high cost of living the household purse could, if the proper means be taken, be protected with- _out the physical health of the family suffering, but on the contrary it might improve. A most important thing it proved was that economy does not mean deprivation, but it does mean education and training in the purchase and preparation of meals. The house- wife nowadays, to get the best results from a moderate sum, must mix brains with food. In these days of the really high cost of most all foods a surprising result of the in- vestigation was that the actual cost’of the excellent food served was materially less than that set or thought possible in the beginning of the test, averaging, in fact, only thirty-one cents per person per diem. This would seem to strongly indicate that the present lofty scale of the cost of living after all may perhaps be due mainly to the willingness of many housewives to pay fancy prices for luxuries and to make no special efforts to limit the use of really costly foods. It must be understood that the cost stated did not include light, fuel, service, or other overhead charges. It is of importance, how- ever, to note that all the supplies were purchased in the same way that any housewife would do her table marketing, from retail establishments and at prices which it is fair to assume would be about the same in the residential districts of most American towns and cities. Any dietitian will agree that the real test of a diet is how those partaking of it thrive upon it. There are two principal ways of determining this;. namely, weight and energy. Naturally what happened to the Chicago squad in these directions is therefore of the utmost interest to every housewife in arriving at conclusions. When the squad began eating Dr. Robertson’s meals its total weight was 1,825 pounds, while at the close of the test they weighed 1,870.75 pounds, a gain as will be seen of 45.75 pounds, or an average gain per member of 3.80 pounds. Showing conclu- sively that the food agreed with them better than that upon which they had been liv- ing previously, and none of the squad had in their own estimation been starving them- selves, but just living as hundreds of thousands of middle-class Americans are accustomed to. : During the time the experiment was being conducted the members of the .squad went about their daily duties, the same as they had when eating at home before the test was started. Some of them were outdoor workers, field inspectors, and some office workers; but there was no let up in the duties required. An examination of the daily records showed no lessening of the amount of work done daily by any member of the squad, rather a gain in efficiency was noted. —————————————Eee FOODSTUFFS PURCHASED FOR FINAL WEEK FRUITS VEGETABLES BPPICSINROORING) wii... .\seektees tek: DUB OM ESOCES 55 Sic cai aliaye ayaa tetera tartrate Alora 2 Abs: 10 Apples, Jonathan ............ 1 doz. ate MCRTIOS LAMA. 5 57se.d) 6 so asend cisiare tbr 12 Lap tet tt: le Rnty 2), ae era 1% doz. hele) Beans, DAKE 2, sce vague seas 50, CONS 54 1a a ve”, SE ord oe eee LY Li ei (CADDASE” T taxc.c)y sasqniern s Mies SSD 2ibs. 10 Evaporated Pears ........... tb.

for May, 1917 The Care of According to the Dairy Specialists falk in the Home of the Department of Agriculture a ————— ar SORGMMLLTITIT ITAA HE three “C’s” for the proper care of milk in the home, according to the dairy specialists of the United States Department of Agri- culture, are: Keep milk Crean, Corp, Coveren. Milk is a highly perishable food, and the length of time it will remain sweet and safe, especially for children, depends, the specialists say, almost entirely upon the constant care it receives from cow to consumer. Milk passes through three agencies — the producer, the dealer, and the con- sumer. If the first two have done their part, clean, safe milk will be deliv- ered, thoroughly chilled, to the consumer. The consumer’s responsibility be- gins the moment the milk is delivered at his doorstep. Because milk poured from vessel to vessel on the street is very liable to contamination from dust, manure particles, and germs, milk is best deliv- ered in capped bottles. If bottled milk can not be obtained, the housewife should try to have some one in the family receive the milk in a clean, scalded utensil, cover it instantly and put it without delay into the refrigerator or the coldest available place. Under no circumstance should an uncovered pitcher, bowl, or pan be left out.on the porch to receive bulk milk. The ves- sel, both before and after the milk is poured into it, is accessible to flies and collects particles of dust and dirt. Even in the case of bottled milk, however, the consumer must see that the bottle is not left out in the heat for a moment longer than is necessary. Milk should be delivered and kept at a temperature of fifty degrees Fahren- heit or lower — the colder the better. At such temperatures bacteria develop very slowly and milk undergoes little change until consumed. A slight rise in temperature above this point, however, permits bacteria to multiply rapidly and brings about rapid deterioration of the milk, which may render it unfit for ordinary use and make it highly dangerous for babies and lit- tle children. For this reason bottled or other milk should not be allowed to remain in a warm place, as on a sunny porch or in a hot kitchen, for a moment longer than is necessary. Delivery of Milk in Hot Weather In hot weather the best plan is to have the milkman put the milk di- rectly into the refrigerator, because at that time of year milk cannot be kept properly without ice. If a refrigerator is not available, provide ‘a small box containing ice, and if ice is unobtainable, provide some tight container with insulated walls that keep the heat from getting rapidly to the cold milk. A home-made fireless cooker is admirable for this purpose, especially if partially filled with ice. In the absence of any of these devices, arrange with the milkman not to leave the milk in the sunlight, but to put it in the coolest, shadiest place around the house. Handling Milk in the Home In handling milk around the home, do not pour it from one vessel to another until it is to be consumed. Do not let the bottle of milk remain out of the refrigerator a moment longer than is necessary. Keep the milk cov- ered, using paper caps or an inverted tumbler on bottles, or storing it in covered utensils. Any household utensil that is to be used as a vessel for keeping milk should first be cleaned thoroughly and scalded. Before opening a bottle of milk, wash and wipe the neck and outside of the cap with water and a clean cloth. The little depression on the top of the cap may collect dust or water, and any milk that leaks out may attract flies. Lift out the cap with a pointed instrument, so that the outside of the cap, which may be contaminated, will not be pushed down into the milk. Each time the milk is to be poured from the.bottle it is a wise precaution to wash the neck as described. : Milk in a Refrigerator The refrigerator where milk is stored should be cleaned regularly, espe- cial care being given to keeping the drip pipe free and clean. The ice-rack also should be cleaned and any place where food is kept or milk stored should be scalded occasionally with sal-soda solution. The refrigerator, even though cold, may quickly be contaminated by a few drops of spilled - mill, or by small particles of food. No matter how clean the refrigerator, milk should never be kept in an open vessel. As milk absorbs odors easily, such food as fish, cabbage, or onions should not be kept in proximity to it. Clean Empty Bottles As soon as a milk-bottle is emptied, rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Do not return dirty bottles and do not use milk bottles except to. hold milk. Returning dirty bottles to the milkman may mean that a few days later either you or your neighbors will get contaminated milk. Milk bottles should never be taken into a sick room. In case of infectious or contagious disease, all bottles should be boiled thoroughly and should not be returned to the dealer without the express permission of the attending physician. Such dis- eases easily can be made epidemic through disregard of this precaution. Where there are Children Care of milk, important for all, is a vital necessity in a home where there are children. It is absolutely essential to-the safety of babies. No intelli- gent mother will leave to an ordinary servant the task of caring for or pre- paring the milk for her baby. Mothers of small children should get, from their own physicians, explicit directions for the proper handling of milk and for cleaning and sterilizing nursing bottles. Pamphlets on infant feed- ing may be obtained from the municipal milk stations or health officers. Milk for babies cannot be kept too cold, and too much care cannot be given to keeping it clean and covered. Further information on this subject may be had by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., for Farmers’ Bulle- tin 413, “Care of Milk and Its Use in the Home.” are the Nation’s Greatest Asset The intelligent care and feeding of these babies during the first year of their exist- ence largely determines whether or not they are to be healthy and normal. ealthy, Normal Babies Two pictures of Mary Frances Averill, an Eagle Brand Baby, one at the age of nine months, the other at four years. 37 As a food for the little one, Mother’s Milk obviously is the only per- fect nourishment. But thousands of babies cannot have Mother’s Milk. These thousands must be nourished on a food other than that which nature intended and so the problem of how to feed the baby is one that constantly confronts the mother and the physician. After Mother’s Milk—What? What is best for the baby when deprived of Mother’s Milk? Among the foods available for infant feeding Eagle Brand Condensed Milk has held a lead- ing position for over half a cen- tury. Composed of clean cows’ milk and cane sugar— nothing else —it offers.certain definite advantages that cannot be overlooked. It insures at all times a ready supply of cows’ milk that does not deteriorate in quality or whole- someness after the conteiner has been opened. It retains its fresh- ness and purity until consumed. It is uniform in fat, protein, sugar and mineral salts, and enables the mother to measure accurately the food value of each feeding. Gath orem EAGLE BRAND CONDENSED MILK Tre ORIGINAL It is highly palatable. Babies like it and the enjoyment of food is surely an important factor in the results ob- tained from that food. It is easily di- gested. In the stomach, Eagle Brand produces a soft, flocculent curd that offers. little or no resistance to the action of the gastric juices. It is easy to prepare and thereby obviates the difficulties often ex- perienced in making elaborate modifications. You need only to measure out the correct number of spoonfuls, then add the right amount of water that has been boiled and cooled to feeding tem- perature. If for any reason your baby is not thriving on its present food try Eagle Brand Condensed Milk It is clean, fresh and uniform. Wherever you may be, at home, traveling or visiting, the Eagle Brand baby is sure of a never-failing supply of wholesome food. Grocers and Druggists everywhere sell Eagle Brand.

Scissors, thim- bles, needles, thread, paste, and lots of old pasteboard boxes, and bolts of vari- colored crépa paper, for May flowers are all colors. Then we cut the card- board into the separate questioning eyes to the calendar; and the littlest one leaves her chair to jump up and down and squeal with delight: “May || Day! Oh, Goodie! Goodie! Goodie! Oh, tell us the story again about your first May Party, Mother! Do. Please, won't you?” Three pairs of eager eyes question and plead, as they settle themselves comfortably on the couch; so, I tell again the story of a sunshiny little valley in Pennsylvania, and of a little green village of peace cupped by smil- ing hills where old-time gardens bloom and old-fash- ioned flowers scent the air. Where the grass grows green and friendly, and the shrub and snowball and lilac bushes stand sentinel, and the honeysuckle climbs in loving tendrils on the walls of that peaceful little village so well named “Harmony”; to await the important day. and of my first May Party in the days of long ago.

The little friends have smelled the smoke of supper- pieces needed, and joining the pieces by sewing loose- ly over and over, we form them into spreading bas- kets, finally sewing on the bottom pieces and we have quaintly shaped little baskets. Brother cannot handle needle and thread, so to him is given the task of wind- ing the long straight pieces, to be bent and used as handles, with twisted strips of crépe paper. The handles are then sewed into place, and the in- side and outside of the baskets covered with gayly colored crépe paper, pasted into place, and the edges extending an inch beyond the baskets are pulled into a double frill around the entire basket. “Don’t they look just dear!” says the littlest one, who finds happiness in everything. Then we put them away By Jesse Morgan Stoughton E careful when you clean and polish bird’s-eye maple fur- niture. Discoloration of any kind robs it of its beauty. Be safe—use O-Cedar Polish and use it this way: wet a piece of cheese cloth with water, wring it almost dry and add O-Cedar Polish. Go over the surface to be cleaned and then polish with a dry cloth. Slight rubbing brings about the desired lustre —a high, dry, hard, lasting finish that will not get gummy or sticky.

Then Georgiann and Brother take paints and brushes and water pans and paint cloths to Mother’s own round writing-table, and there they fashion place-cards, each a tinted flower, and quaint little invitations of white cardboard, decorated with May baskets and butterflies and scattered flowers and letter with their grouped names and the hours, two to six. Then, after luncheon, for it is a Saturday — Brother hooks up Toby — faithful shaggy old Shetland pony and the children’s playfellow and friend — and they all climb into the pony cart to carry around the invitations — a grave affair. Brother drives, and Georgiann sits with him; and on the back seat — it is a back-to-back affair — Mother’s Sweetest sits in dignity, upholding Mother’s fanciest basket on the seat by her side, for it contains the precious invitations to the party. Gravely, they make the rounds, Georgiann and Mother’s |} Sweetest alighting, and as they ring each door bell, the | littlest one proffers the basket from which Georgiann | takes an invitation and hands it to maid or mother or whosoever attends the door. Then home they come and there is more fun and She would never call and waken us — oh, my no — but somehow when she wants us up, she sings so loud and clear and yet so sweet, we breathe a silent prayer, “God bless her.” After breakfast, we make the home ready. There are low squat bowls and quaint pictures and odd vases full of the May flowers in every room, green branches and flowering ones adorn the pictures and bank the piano and arch the doorways, and on the rear lawn stands the May Pole, firm and straight, being the tent pole of Brother’s tent. A large arm-chair is enthroned on a wooden platform (also a part of Brother’s tent outfit) against a huge yellow flowering bush as a background —the chair wound with ropes of green and flowering branches and the platform covered thickly with new cut grass from the lawn’s early morning mowing. Along the southern side stands a row of old apple trees in blossom, and under two of the larg- est trees the table is made ready with Mother’s very, very best dinner-cloth — Oh, so thick and white and shiny, and every wrinkle is lovingly patted smooth. Down the centre of the table, from end to end, goes a strip of heaviest paper, twelve inches wide. “What now, Mother?” asked Son. “Oh, just wait!” says Georgiann. “Mother always does different things. Let’s just wait and see!” So they all stand and watch Mother cover the foot-wide strip of paper with the moist green moss, and near each end insert a shallow round glass dish and bank the moss and tiny fern around the edges, and set up tiny green trees in. pots and make little hills of rocks and pebbles and moss and a pathway of little stones, and fill the glass dishes with water and place thereon tiny ducks and geese of celluloid and a pair of swans that swim with the passing breeze.

Baby Clothes | ie selecting materials for the baby’s layette it is well to know about the quality of the different fabrics used in making baby garments. Knitted binders are more elastic than flannel. The binder is worn only two or three weeks, as a protection un- til the navel heals. It should not be too tight. If a baby is delicate, dur- ing cold weather he may wear a binder with shoulder straps for the first year. All pinning bands or clothes that restrict motion are most -harmful. Cotton bird's-eye or light-weight out- ing flannel make excellent diapers. They will be more absorbent and warmer than linen. Stockinet is best but more ex- pensive. Rubber or water-proof diapers should never be used. Stork diapers are very useful when baby goes on a journey. There is a_ difference of opinion among authorities on baby care as to the fabric of ready-made, knitted shirts. Some prefer all cotton, others part wool. All wool is never good for the baby’s sensitive skin, and it shrinks badly. One-quarter wool and three-quarters cot- ton or silk. is my choice for the aver- age baby. In warm weather, or in very warm houses, all cotton is better. Of course, no house should be too warm, but as many are, clothing must be suit- able. It is better to wear a cotton garment next the skin with a _ light wool over it in very cold climates. Layette Laundering OR washing the baby’s clothes use a white soap, and thoroughly rinse. Diapers need special care. They should be thoroughly washed, boiled, and rinsed. Ordinary laundry soaps, soda, or blu- ing should not be used. Dry in the sun and air if possible. Under no cir- cumstances should.a diaper be used on a baby unless it is absolutely clean. Starch should never be. used for baby’s clothes. Boiling, sunshine, and hot irons are all sterilizers, The softness of woolen may be pre- served if a cheese-cloth is placed over it when using a moderately hot iron. An irritated skin or eczematous erup- tion may be prevented if the launder- ing of a baby’s clothes is carefully done. Baby’s Outings E Yes if the days are rainy days, that should make no difference in his outings. To be sure they are rather moist, but the baby’s carriage may be placed in a sheltered spot where the rain doesn’t fall upon it. The delicate child requires fresh air even more than the well baby. Ap- petite and strength are both improved by good, pure air. Sleep also comes from the airing. Many a sick child who cannot nap in the house im- mediately falls into restful sleep as soon as he is put in his carriage or a hammock, or on a couch on the piazza. Sometimes a mother thinks she can- not take her baby outdoors because every time she does so he ‘catches eold.” Keeping him in and coddling him is the very reason why he is sen- sitive and unless he is taken out regu- larly and for long periods — until he is accustomed to the fresh air treat- ment — he will always remain delicate. The length of time for the outing de- pends upon the age of the child. At six weeks, an hour a day is sufficient: at six months, three or four hours is a necessity ; and after that age, the more the better. Even if the baby is overtaken by a shower when riding in his carriage, and happens to get wet, it will not hurt him. He is used to a bath shower without his clothes. The baby gar- ments will be the only things dis- turbed — unless the mother or nurse is the worrying kind! Colds are not caused by too much air or moderate exposure to wet weather. If vital resistance is low be- cause of thin blood and digestive dis- turbances then exposure to dampness may excite a ‘eold.’’ Ordinary colds are due to contagion. People with colds and coughs infect children by kissing them, sneezing, and coughing near them. A child’s health will always be better, the less he sees of people ex- cept those who take care of him, until after he is a year old, The Sick Baby NE room should be given up exclu- sively to the sick child and his nurse; perhaps the nursery will do, but at all events it must be the quietest, sunniest, and most airy room in the house. The bed must be placed so the sun is not in the patient's eyes. No visitors should be admitted. Conver- sation in the room or any racket al- ways disturbs a sick baby. When a baby fusses and cries let him lie in his bed and do not take him up or otherwise try to soothe him. The cries are his only way of complaining. He tells you how uncomfortable he is, when he cries; moving him and talking to him only makes him feel worse. Quietness in the room is good medicine for a sick baby. Some Things Mothers Ask Nae give a baby any sort of sleeping potion. If he is not well consult your physician, but if he seems well except for a disinclination to sleep, try this way: Just after feeding, put himt in a darkened, quiet room with fresh air supply, and leave him. He will fuss at first, perhaps make a great cry, but if you let him cry it out he will in a very few days under- stand that when he is put to bed he is to stay by himself and sleep, and he will. This plan has worked in hundreds of eases, if the mother does not go to the baby after he has cried for fifteen or twenty minutes and pet him. Any baby knows that all he needs to do is to keep crying until Mother comes. Never use a “pacifier” or sugar-bag or anything of the sort. Sleeplessness is apt to be a matter of habit, and patience and firmness must be practised in overcoming it. It is decidedly unhygienic for a child to sleep with an adult, especially an aged person. <A. child should if pos- sible have a room by itself. The windows should be wide open so the ehild is practically out-of-doors getting the lungs full of, and the _ body invigorated by, oxygen. The child should be dressed .and un- dressed in a warm room and have warm bed covers. Be sure the feet are warm. Viele Neck Pe.

for May, 1917 UUUTUUVUUTOTTNUVUUAUTAEAU UA ESTEE Don’t Poison Your Baby The press has reported 106 fly poisoning cases in the last three years—a fraction of the real number. Fly poisons kill more children than all other poisons combined.

Avoid a possible tragedy by catch- ing flies with safe, efficient, non- poisonous pastel | Tanglefoot does its work so well that it not only catches the fly, but covers its germ- laden body with a disinfecting varnish. It protects you both from flies and fly poisons. Government Says: “Don’t Use” Following is the U. S. Government warn- ing taken from Supplement No. 29 to the Public Health Report: ‘* Of other fly poi- sons mentioned, mention should be made, merely for a purpose of condemnation, of those composed of arsenic. Fatal cases of poisoning of children through the use of such compounds are far too frequent, and owing to the resemblance of arsenical poi- soning to summer diarrhea and cholera infantum, it is believed that the cases re- ported do not, by any means, comprise the total. Arsenical fly-destroying devices must be rated as extremely dangerous, and should never be used, even if other measures are not at hand.” TheO. & W. Thum Company Grand Rapids, Mich. For Every Woman!

The Children’s May Party [CONCLUDED FROM PAGE 39] half-dozen of wee little doggies of porcelain to frolic on the greenery. The place-cards and napkins are placed and the preparations are finish- ed and Mother wends her way kitchenward to make good things. First the lemonade — a dozen, nine of the lemons are rolled and the juice extracted and made into syrup with two pounds of granulated sugar and a quart of water—it goes into a pitcher and into the ice-box ready for pouring into the ice-cold water of the punch-bowl at serving time; the other three lemons are washed to be sliced into the punch-bowl. Next come the sandwiches. Four long, square-shaped loaves of bread are sliced thin and buttered with a half pound of creamery butter. A small piece of lean boiled beef goes through the food chopper with a half cup of celery; is seasoned and mixed with the liquor in which the beef was cooked, (boiled down into a jelly) and spread between the but- tered slices of two loaves. Lettuce with cream dressing goes between the slices of a third loaf and a smaller piece of boiled ham goes through the food-chopper with a lit- tle powdered sage. This is moistened with ham gravy and a few drops of lemon juice and spread between the slices of the fourth loaf. The squares are then cut into triangles with a sharp knife and wrapped in moist cloths to keep fresh for the afternoon. Then comes the work of cake-mak- ing as the ice-cream has been ordered. First are made two white cakes — made by mixing a cup of granulated sugar with a heaping cup of flour that has been sifted three times with two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a pinch of salt—then by adding a cup of boiling milk, stirring well, and folding in the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs and baking in two medium-sized ungreased layer- cake pans. It is cooled in the pans, then removed and iced with un- cooked icing, made of powdered sugar, mixed to a spreading paste with sweet milk, added a few drops at a time, and flavored with a tea- spoonful of lemon juice. The two layers are put together with the ic- ing, and the top and sides iced and both cakes are set away two hours for the icing to harden. The dark cakes are made of one cup of molasses, one cup of sugar, one cup of raisins, a teaspoonful of all- spice, one of cinnamon, a saltspoonful of cloves boiled together hard for fifteen minutes; then a heaping table- spoonful of butter added and re- moved from the stove and set aside until cold. Then sufficient sifted flour, with two heaping teaspoonfuls of bak- ing-powder, is stirred in until a soft dough is formed, and lastly an un- beaten egg is stirred into the mixture. It is then turned into a greased loaf-cake pan and baked in a medium oven about forty minutes or until done. Two of these are made and when cold are iced with a chocolate icing made of a pound of powdered sugar, mixed with a tea-cup of pow- dered cocoa, and then mixed to a spreading paste with sweet milk. The tops and sides are iced and they are placed with the two white cakes while the icing hardens. The children come in to help make the candy. They each place a pound of pow- dered sugar in a mixing-bowl, Geor- giann adds a teaspoonful of essence of peppermint and Chester one of essence of wintergreen, and then they add sweet milk, a little at a time, stir- ring all the while, until the mixture becomes a stiff ball. Then with spotless hands, they mold it into wa- fers and lay on sheets of waxed paper. Mother makes chocolate fudge of granulated sugar and cocoa, and maple fudge of dark brown sugar. The work is all done and luncheon is served and then the children all dress for the party. We fill the baskets with the candy for favors. Brother samples it fre- quently and apparently finds it good, for he repeats the process often—and here comes the first little guest. Georgiann and Lois receive them at the doorway and soon they are all assembled and in council in the liv- ing-room declaration is made that they must choose a queen. Pencils and slips of paper are passed and the ballots dropped into a May basket, carried on the littlest one’s arm, and we find that Ethel is chosen for the queen. She selects the littlest one as her maid of honor, and procession is made to the throne on the lawn, where with flowers, she is crowned “Queen o’ the May” and accepts the honor with a charming grace. The flowers press down on her dusky curls — her dark eyes gleam against the yellow of her gown, as with queenly mien she reigns and rules for a day. Gayly they dance the Maypole dance and wind the streamers in and out and then they dance the Virginia Reel and the English Harvester and the Sailor’s Hornpipe, and other folk dances, taught by the physical direc- tor in the public schools, and they swing on the swings and play cro- quet and drive Toby around the square, and then in the fragrant flow- er-scented air they gather round the table and exclaim with admiration at the unusual decoration. They find their places and eat heartily of the sandwiches and cake and ice creain and drink the lemonade and set aside the favors to carry home — then back to their play again and they spend a gloriously happy after- noon and are loath to leave, al- though .the down-dropping sun says it is well after six o'clock.

for May, 1917 Abusing the Baby with Kindness By Mrs. Elizabeth Atwood O you abuse your baby with kind- ness ? Every mother and father will exclaim, “The idea! Of course we do not abuse our baby in any manner — not even with kindness !” And then probably two-thirds of the mothers will pick up baby, hug him, poke him playfully in his soft little ribs, toss him up in the air a bit, tip him back and kiss him violently and repeat- edly in his pink wrinkled neck and say, “I guess we know ums is no play- fing, don’t we? Cutchie, cutchie, coo!” Half the mothers I have talked with about this become slightly indignant and that doesn’t hurt baby. exclaim, ‘Oh, He loves it.” But it does hurt baby, and he doesn’t love it at all! It harms him very much. Let me explain in more detail just what I mean by making a plaything of baby. Fond mothers and fathers, big- ger brothers and sisters, adoring uncles and aunts, and dear grandmas, all want to pet baby.’ Of course they love him and find it difficult to keep their hands off of him. And so they jolt him up and down on their knees, or they sit him astride their foot and make him “Ride a hobby horse to Banbury Cross,” they ‘‘chuck’’—which is the best descrip- tion of jabbing with the fingers that I know—poor baby in the neck, in the ribs, in his little “‘tummy,’’ under the chin and almost all over his tiny, soft, and deli- cate anatomy. Father or Uncle William will grab baby and toss him up at arm’s length, saying: “Up an’ UP an’ UP he goes!” Then they will hold him, squirming there, for a moment and twist and shake him gently, and then let him down, slowly at first but with increasing speed, say- ing: “Down an’ DOWN an’ DOWN he comes !” What of it? Well, suppose your bones were mostly gristle and very soft, and your brain was undeveloped and your eyesight not perfect and your nerves very tender, and some person about six times taller than you should come along and grab you and toss you? Would it do you any particular good? Wouldn’t it make you nervous, make you dizzy and frightened? Still another decidedly bad way of making a plaything of baby is to come along quietly and shout, “Boo!” That’s not playing with him, that is frighten- ing him, just as much as though some giant jumped out at you from behind a fence. People take bright toys, bits of col- ored paper, bright ribbons, rattles, and such things and shake them violently, close to baby’s eyes. Poor baby’s vision is weak, his optic nerves are decidedly high strung. It is worse for him than for an adult. Think how painful it is to have some one stick a letter close up to your eyes and say, “Read that.’ You strain before you think. Baby tries to see these things waved in front of his eyes, and strains his optic nerves and his muscles trying to do so. Some people tickle baby’s feet, or tickle him under the arms because’ they think it is cute to see him writhe and laugh. He laughs because he cannot help it, but he doesn’t enjoy it at all. Strong adults have gone into convul- sions when tickled on the feet. And in hot weather when poor baby has a diffecult time of it keeping cool, when he has prickly heat rash, and is fretful and nervous, he has enough trouble lying quite still on a quilt try- ing to keep cool without being mauled about and tossed and tickled. The results are bad. Too much of this sort of thing makes the child extremely nervous. The nervousness impairs the digestion. And when baby, whose sole duty is to sleep and eat so that he can grow, becomes nervous and “‘fidgity” and overheated and loses his appetite, it is a very serious matter. Adults may compare their nerves to a weather-vane. It takes quite a breeze to affect them. But baby’s nerves are like the needle of a compass, the slight- est touch, the slightest jar, will set the needle a-quivering. Too much of a jar will send the needle spinning this way and that. So it is with baby’s nerves. They are so very delicate. Many a child who suffers with St. Vitus Dance has had it brought on by loving but unthinking parents and relatives who made a plaything of him when he was little. Baby’s bones are soft, almost as soft as rubber. Violent exercise is danger- ous. Every baby needs exercise, but good old Mother Nature, who knows better than to make a _ plaything of babies, attends to the exercise part. Watch baby stretch, watch him reach out for this and that, watch him take a toy and beat the air with it. Put him on a quilt on the floor and see him put his toes in his mouth, roll over, kick his heels and make those deliciously funny “Ah-goo” noises. All this is his exer- cise. Nature makes him do it. It strengthens his arms and legs, and when he “talks,” as we call the ‘“Goo-goo” noises, he is exercising his throat and vocal cords. You never have to teach baby to creep. Nature does that. And you do not really teach baby to walk. You help him by urging him, giving him courage, but he has to stand alone, to take his first step, and he will. Con- sider the animals. They never make playthings of their young. Animal mothers allow their offspring to sleep and eat and play with each other as they desire. You can love your baby just as well without making a plaything of him, without injuring his health. Hold baby, of course. He likes it. Even bottle- fed babies should be held when possible when being fed, they seem to enjoy it more. Carry baby about a little, speak to him once in a while, he gets lonesome for Mother’s voice. Put him on the floor on a soft quilt and sit down be- side him. You can pat his little hand, give him light toys (mever heavy ones), pat his little foot. when he sticks it up in the air, pick him up and kiss him now and then — yes, kiss him — no real mother can help kissing baby. Germs? What are they to mother love? Besides, you can kiss him on the cheek, in his fat warm neck, on his dimpled knees. Of course you love baby and are proud of him, and all your uncles and aunts and cousins feel the same way, but do not let them make a plaything of him. It isn’t fair to baby, it means harm for him, frequently grave harm. = ’ Advertisements are both entertaining and instructive.
