Such an imagination is a real asset in later years, and should not be stiffied in children. The mother of such a child has to appreciate her child's mind or she will punish unreasonably. .With very little children the lie of ignorance is usual. Every mother knows that when a baby begins to talk, and is asked what it saw when it returns from a ride in its baby carriage, it will say, moo-cows, baa-sheep, choo-choos (trains), and every thing that it has learned to designate by sounds that are descriptive. The child may not have seen one of the things designated.but he |likes to give the sounds. mother shows pleasure. as indeed she | should, when the tiny tot makes them. He is ignorant of any intention to de- cefve. It may take years for him to learn He certainly should not be punished although he has told untruths. He does not intend to be naughty. ‘When parents are unduly severe with children they bring about a reaction in them. Fear makes the little folk tell falsehoods. But does the child need punishment any more than the parents require wisdom? Children appreciate justice and will not shrink from punish- ment when they feel it is due. It is the unjust reprimand that results in untruths. When a child is justly | treated, and yet delitberately chooses [to Me, some methol of making him change his ways is imperative. (Cop:ight. 1920.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. “Not very often these days, but often enought to warn us of its importance, we find mothers asking about the cause \of baby's sore mouth. While it is | difficult to tell a mother tHat this is due to carelessness, one can't sidestep the truth. In.some thoughtless way the mother is not aware of the neces- sity for absolute cleanliness of bottles and nipples; in fact, of every single object that might ‘come near baby's ‘mouth. S Thrush, or sprue, is evidenced by tiny white spots in the mouth. which resemble drops of milk. When these are wiped off, they leave tiny bleeding spots, and baby’s mouth becomes so sore that he refuses to eat at all. The very moment this appears, take the baby to a doctor for ment. Many of the which mothers use to end this condition simple exaggerate it and increase its virulence. While the doctor is clearing up the thrush, the mother should do her part by seek- ing the cause of the trouble so that it will not crop up’again. | to modern methods of baby care, it is inadvisable to wash out the baby's mouth daily unless soreness is.present. This dabbling with boric acid used to be a part of the daily bath ritual; but more harm than benefit accrued from this practice, for baby's mouth is so tender and so easily in- jured that mothers caused real damage in their efforts to keep it “good and clean.” Now we bend our efforts toward keeping anything that might harbor dirt entirely away from baby’s mouth and letting nature keep it healthy. One prominent cause of thrush is the use of botties or nipples which have not been properly cleaned and boiled. This is discussed in our leaflet, “Care of Bottles and Nipples, and How to Mix Formulas,” which may be obtained by any reader who sends a self-ad- dressed, stamped envelope with her re- quest to “Your Baby and Mine” depart- ment of this newspaper. ‘The next probable cause may be the use of a water bottle which, in its jour- neys from bed to carriage and perhaps an unexpected trip to the floor, man- ages to gather a nice collection of dust and germs. ‘Those mothers who tie around baby’s neck a pacifier, which he sucks at_his own sweet will, can hardly expect him to escape a sore mouth. Of all dirty objects, the pacifier is undoubtedly a winner in this class. Old hand- t g:?mm, ends of blankets, dolls and what not that are given baby to suck on may be baby’s own, but they are not immune to household dust and dirt. Even sterilized nursing bottles may lean against dirty and dusty objects unless constantly protected. To pro- tect baby from every possible source of dirt requires constant vigilance. EXPERT SERVICE The mechanic, with his spanner, greets me in a civil manner when I drive my also-ranner to his workshop for : he will know just what's the matter, know what makes the engine clatter, why the oil is prone to splatter like a cloudburst everywhere.

When my motor’s in & panic with some maladies organic, I consult this skilled mechanic, d he knows just what.to do; he akes certain ofl-holes bigger, puts a spring in yonder trigger, straightens out some other jigger, and he files a thing or two.

I would sprain my wrists undoing certain things that needed gluing, lacerate my fingers acrewing nuts already far too tight; I would sweat in the endeavor some old rusty band to sever, and my work would not be clever, for I'd never get it right. But I never try repairing which may call for wrath and swearing; there are experts who are wearing all the weapons of their craft: and I let them do the tolling and figuring and moiling, while 1 sit, my blood unboiling. and write out a N, Y. draft.

Nancy never could understand Peter's love for custards and puddings of that kind. She knew his fondness for steamed puddings, sailor’s duff, steamed black currant pudding and all the other regulation English desserts. But a cus- }tard pudding was so much lighter with | what she called a “Gallic" touch that | she decided her husband was part f‘ren:h. at least in his culinary lean- | Ings. With the mounting food bills she was always glad to come back to the old-fash’'oned ice pudding — that creamy varisty which tastes as if it were made from eggs and cream and other rich foods, but which in reality uses nothing but milk, eggs. sugar, salt and flavoring. The trick lies in the mak- ing. Here is the recipe: One-half cupful uncooked rice, wash- ed and combined with one quart of | milk: one-third cupful sugar, one-quar- ter teaspoonful salt and a few grains nutmeg or grated rind of one-half lemon. The mixture is put in a well buttered | pudding dish—either a glass or pottery casserole. The oven is set at low tem- perature, about 275 degrees Fahrenheit. ‘Then the pudding is stirred at 15-min- | ute intervals for the first hour. After that it remains in the oven for an- other one and one-half or two hours | until the mixture has thickened and the rice is soft. It is the stirring of the pudding and | the long, slow cooking that makes the dish so creamy. Each time the crusty | or slightly browned and thickened top | is spooned into the pudding it adds | | to the creamy color and flavor. A pudding of this kind may be packed in the lunch box. Write to Nancy Page, care of this paper, enclosing s stamped. self- | addressed envelope. asking for her leaflet on Lunch Box Packing. (Copyright, 1930 SUB. ROSA BY MIML Minerva's Mirror.
