The active, growing nursing baby | begins to show a dissatisfaction with just plain mfik and nothing else when it is about 6 or 7 months old. Instead of worrying that her milk is insuffi- cient to nourish the baby and think- ing serfously of weaning, the mother should add other foods to the baby's menu and in this way maks up his luck. Orange juice comes first on the list 1nd may have Been on the baby's diet list from the time he was 3 or 4 months of age. And now come cereals. One or two tablespoons of well cooked cereal will furnish the baby with a | lot of extra nourishment and also much necessary bulk. If the ceredls chosen are whole wheat, oatmeal, bar- ley or unhulled rice they give in ad- dition to their bulk many valuable minerals and vitamins, all necessary to the baby’s growth at this time. Unless the cereal is a_ fine milled one, like froia, it should be cooded for at least four hours in one quart of water to one-half cup of cereal. Put on to boil over the fire and when boil ing briskly put in a double boiler, or overnight in the fireless cooker, and cook until doue. For the baby of less than 16 months of age the cereal should be strained before serving. It the baby refuses to eat his first spoonful of cereal, as so many of them do, don't grow excited and an- | &ry about it. Wipe off his mouth hold- | ing his nose until he swallows it. If he spits it up, do this again. Shortly he will be convinced that mutiny is useless and the cereal will stay put, Never give more than one teaspoonful of kind regularly for at least days and then cautiously fn- ase the amount. Cereal feedings are being used with for those babies who have dificulty in keeping down any sort of liquid feeding. Some babies have ‘h muscles which immediately t liquid food when it is in the of digestion. For these babies reals are lifesaver, for the thick | bulk of the cereal, mixed with powder- | ed milk so that it is still thick and glutionus, remains down when noth- ing clse will. For chronic “vomiters,” one should not despair until cereal has been tried. Thin applies also to children with pyloric stenosis, a con- genital defect of the small tube lead- ing from the stomach to the duode- num, which, being far too small, makes it impossible for food to pass through into the intestine, and while It is churning about in the stomach in its efforts to pass through the food is vomited back and the baby dies eventually of starvation. Home-cooked cereals are better than the ready-cooked kind for the small child. A tablespoon of home-cooked cereal will contain a greater amount of nutrition than the same amount of any package brand. When the child is older his diet may be varied by the use of all types of cereal, but for the baby the home-cooked kinds are best. no need and charming really Oune charming e is peach and the other tur- There is a flaring upstanding and sides that gives wther quilted crepe de | “trich | A be THE EVENING Villie Willis BY ROBERT QUILI y night what “Sometimes when I pray at I think 1 ought to tell papa is the best way to handle me.” (Covyright.'1926.) FOOD AND HEALTH BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS. Food Spectulist. Let no one harbor the impression that simply becuuse we have marvel- sent dentists we have always wise in our treatment of the teeth. In fact, it may almost be suld that the superskill of these sume den- tists has been developed us a sequel of our mistaken ideas or carelessness, a8 the case muy be. In other words, if we had in the beginning been careful to strike at the root of our widespread tooth trouble, some of our dentists at least, would now be devoting their technical skill to other professions. Arm the children with toothbrushes, but do not stop there. Get back to the cause of the decay and stamp it out. How? By the simple method of prop- erly feeding, first the mother during the pre-natal period, and second, the child. What shall we feed them? For a period of time various bits of advice have been proffered to the pregnant and to the nursing woman about her diet. One of the most popular of these had to do with “food that would make milk.” Then, as knowledg nutri- tlon progressed, leaders in the field be- gan to advise the mother, proxpective and actual, to eat pretty much her nor- mal diet. provided this were a mixed diet, containing plenty of milk, fruits and vegetubles. This was good, but there is still an- other step to tuke it we are to give such women the full benefit of what McCollum calls “the newer knowledge of nutrition.” We must 11 exuctly what foods to emphasize und give a few, at least, of vur reasons for this emphasis, Salad plants, cul tomatoes and all greens, us well as £y vegetuble spinich, sprouts. milk and citrus fruits ure the chief foods to emphasize.

The diet prog sume—milk, green vegetables and citrus fruits, with judicious additions of starchy, sugary and fatty foods for energy und proteln foods for body- building purposes With a dietary foundation for good teeth assured, the mext care ism, of course, to keep the sound teeth clean and quickly to repair any slight evi- dence of decay that may creep in. But let us not forget that milk and leafy .vegetables and fruit julces are the best tooth builders in the world.
