AND HEALTH BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D. Answers to Mothers. Mother—You say your baby is happy. gay and healthy, and at 6 months weighs nearly 15 pounds. Don't ls- ten to your friends and relatives who tell you you ought to wean her because she is small and your milk must be bad for her. What size do they want her to be? If she was a 7-pound baby, as the average baby girl is at birth, she has more than doubled her birth rate and so is normal size. You shouldn't wean her until around the ith ™JeNE 1t surprising, what bad advice sn't it surp: , W] is given by well meaning friends and relatives? ~Take your baby to a cihl- dren's specialist or a baby clinic and have her checked up, Mother;: And stop worrying. We have a list of modern books on the general care and feeding of chil- dren which you may have. A—No, indeed, I didnt say a 7- seldom lived, for there are a lot of 7-month prema- ture bables who have become big, husky men such as you are. (Your mother is to be congratulated on her intelti- gence in taking care of you in the home incubator.) What I did say was that at 6l calendar months or 17 lunar months, it was not apt to live, or if it did was apt to remain puny. ‘The longer a baby has of intrauterine life, the more chance it has to live, for naturally the nearer it is to perfect de- velopment. 8o it is not true that an 8-month baby has less chance of life than & 7-month one. Asthma in children may be due to some sensitization of the mucous mem- brane of the bronchial tubes to different substances that are breathed in, or to substances that are absorbed from dif- ferent foods. For instance, animal pets gl : off tiny particles of dander (simi- lar to d:ndrur in man); feather pillows, wool materie” ¢ d many other things may be the offeanders, and certain foods or ::ernung in general may cause at- tacks. There are skin tests which will deter- mine which substance is disturbing. There are other types of asthma the cause of which is not understood. All efforts to build up the resistance, such as exercises to strengthen the chest and 2ll the muscles, liberal fresh air and sunshine and the proper diet, are all factors that have to be thought of. Acidosis in Grandchildren. “What would you do if your daugh- ter-in-law insisted on dosing your only grandchild with baking soca three cr four times a day, thinking she is guard- ing him against acidosis? The child is n. - 6 years old, and all his life has had vomiting -pells, due to tco many sweets. MRS. 8." This question requires a “heart-and- home” adviser to answer. I can see that you certainly love that only grandchild. B t don't I read betwesn the lines tl .t vou are a little critical of your daugh- ter-in-law? Are you sure that you have always been quite tactful? ‘You are right, however, in your * - ference that dosing a child with soda for acidosis continually is wrong, for it is treating the effect and not Lo eysinger sdys R W(mderful" h | “Since using MELLO-GLO T ean appear | all evening without repowdering.” says | Barbara Carringion, well-known singer. | “It stays on longer yet does not clog the pores or leaye the skin dry.” A new wonderful French process helps MELLO- | GLO Face Powder to kesp usly shine . and its smooth, velvety texture he coveted bloom of youth.

NOVEMBER 1, 1938’ SUB ROSA Too Many Headliners. “But we're bound to be happy,” pro- tested Grace. *“We've got everything in the world to keep us together. Dave has his writing and I have mine. We're both successtul and we're both inter- ested in each other's work. Ours will be lllan most ideal companionship in the world.” And 0 it should have been—really, you know. There wasn't a thing in the world against it. Two young peo- ple, brilliant, charming, amusing. popu- lar; both successful, both interested in the same things, Why, it was a perfect union! Or so it looked to the envious out- siders when the radiant two sped away on_their honeymoon. For six months or more Grace and Dave were the most envied couple in the neighborhood, and then, of course, tongues had to get in their wagging. “But, my dear, he was positively rude ran. And, “She absolutely snubbed him Outsiders shook their heads. “They thing to keep them together, and they're ?i:kmg a mess of that wonderful mar- And poor Crace and Dave, bewil- dered, unhappy. disappointed, continued to spoil what was to be the most per- fect companionship in the world. Why? Simply because in their par- ticular little family of two there were entirely too many geniuses. Both of them, you see, each in his separate world, were used to popular- ity, used to adulation, used to undivided attention. Each of them continued to expect the center of the stage. Each of them found to his horror that the other had as big a place in the lime- light as himself. Grace was astounded to find that people weren’t listening sometimes while she talked, lightly and amusingly and wittlly; that their attention was cen- tered on Dave. who in his turn held them with his charm and eloguence Grace was incensed. The next time it happened she took pains to spoil I's story. She formed the habit of quell- ing his enthusiasms with her light sar- casm. Dave on his side found it unbearable that people should laugh at Grace in the midst of one of his most fascinat- ing stories. Her ability to bring chuckles from her listeners irritated him. She was too light, too fippant about his great work. ‘They quarreled often. They took to quarreling in public. Yet they loved each other, the poor things—and they never knew what separated them. If only the young people who marry each other would realize that marriage means compromise in every sense of the word! It doesn't necessarily mean giving up material things for each other. It doesn’t mean always that each should learn to take the hard words with the sweet. It sometimes means that each party to the contract must learn to give up something of his own personality and charm for the sake of the other. If Dave and Grace had each tried to face themselves for the other, there would have been no diminution of per- sonal popularity and there would have been a far happier life for both. 2 ek Machine Guns Crime Curb.

You can help him to keep healthy and strong if you'll encourage him to exercise freely and get plenty of rest and sleep. But, above all, see that he has the kind of food that assures health and growth. Noted doctors recommend Ralston for this purpose . . . because it provides vitamins for life and growth, proteins for firm flesh, mineral salts for sound bones and teeth, carbohydrates for heat and energy, and bran for proper elimination.
