Unless the child is a chronic “vomiter” and therefore is given cereal very early in life as a corrective of this, the aver- age baby will have it added to the diet the fifth month. The nursing baby will take his small portion of cereal twice a day from a spoon, while the bottle baby may have it also from a spoon. but with part of his bottle formula mixed with it. These cereal feedings will come al. the 10 and 6 o'clock feedings and be given first, and then the nursing or hottle feeding. One spoonful is enough to start with, and a tiny sprinkle of sugar will make it so much more agreeable to baby's uneducated taste that he will be less likely to refuse it. One must keep in mind that |earlier these feedings are be | { the 'gun the more likely the baby will be to accept them without demur. The baby fed ex- clusively on a milk diet for many, many months will look at this strange new concoction with real distaste, and so unless feeding is to become a problem from the very first, it is always wiser to introduce new foods into the diet when the baby is so young that he doesn’t dream of refusing them. The fine wheat cereals are the usual | | firstchoices, and they need not be | | sleved. Oatmeal, because it contains | | indigestible particles which may cause | unusual bowel activity, should be sieved. If the cereal feeding causes an unusual | Dumber of movements, the mother is {overfeeding it. One spoonful won't cause that, and one spoonful should be given and no more. The taste of this | one spoonful is important. It must be {ust right, not thick and sticky and | hard to swallow, or so hot that it burns | baby's mouth. 'Everything about that | first spoonful of food should be pleasant and | experience and cereal is then firmly es- tablished. But suppose baby does spit it out. you ask. what shall be done then?

(Copyright, 1928.) MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEE Dear Miss Leeds: (1) T have bones that stick out from my back that make me look humped and I also have a de- cided hollow in my back. I am 14 years old and weigh about 120 pounds. | Would it harm me to reduce by diet- | ing or exercise? I would like to re-| duce my legs, ankles and feet. 1 also have a large nose. I have been wear- ing a strap around my arch to re- duce it. but 1t looks bad.

In general I do not recom- | mend reducing diet for growing girls, | because they need a plentiful, well balanced diet in order to develop nor- mally. The “hump” on your back may be due to incorrect posture if it is not an actual deformity of the bones. T | would advise you to have a doctor look | you over and advise you regarding diet |and health habits in general. Here are a few exerciscs for correcting the | defects you mention: (a) For round shoulders—Stand as straight and_tall | as you can with arm: stretched above your head. Now bend your elbows, bringing your arms down ' quickly and keeping the elbows as far back as pos- People who go to the chrysanthemum shows may admire the king of flowers {for to my mind there is not a doubt | that it is the most gorgeous flower. in | the world) for their tousled heads, or their incredible colors, or their heavy splendor or the endless variety of their blossoms perfected by the hand of the modern breeder. They may even care to recall a bit of history and remember that the chrysanthemum has evolved at the magic touch of man from an Inconspicuous Oriental wild flower into something ihat can honestly be sald to | surpass Nature herself. They may think of chrysanthemums as the favorite of emperors dead 2,000 years ago. But there is one thing that I think I like about chrysanthemums more than anything else, and that is their odor, To my mind, there are at least two | entirely different sorts of odors from plants (my classification is purely sub- Jective and not at all scientific). There Is the odor from nectaries—odors of | honey, or' rose, or violet, or narcissus-- | the odors we ordinarily mean by per- fume. And then there is another class, Where pungency is the chief quality. This type of odor is the only sort, pos- sessed by ferns, mushrooms, mosses, but many flowers have it, too, in their leaves and stems—above all, the mints. Of this bitter-sweet, exciting and remi- niscent aroma do chrysanthemums take, and there is nothing in the world that brings back the incffable tang of all the Autumns we have known like the marvelons aroma of a chrysanthemum’s | fine foliage. My Neighbor Says: ' To remove water stains from hardwood floors use a bleach made of one ounce of oxalic (poison) in one pint of hot water. Put it on with a brush and let stand over night. Next morning wash with a weak solution of soda and vinegar. 1t before polishing furniture you wipe it over with a cloth dipped in vinegar and water, the polishing will be easier, and no finger-marks will show.
