For this reason more than any other we are urged to do our own “mixing,” and to use olive oil instead of substitutes of lesser food value.

Mangroves have perfect, ever-bloom- ing flowers. They are a soft yellow, two to three on a short stalk. The in- side petals are covered with hairs. The leaves are dark green, persistent, and have a light green lining. They are also thick and blunt. The fruit is berry- like, about one inch long and covered with a rough brown jacket. The most unusual thing abou’ the seeds is that they germinate on the tree. A strong root about the size of a pencil develops, grows downward, and when it is too heavy for the seed jacket to hold it any longer it shoots into the slimy water below. As it is heavy and pointed, its drop causes it to be buried in the soft ooze, and it begins to grow at once.

He was just about to hop forward another step when an excited and rather angry small person in feathers dashed almost in his face. “Why don't you look where you are going, Peter Rabbit?” demanded this small person, who was none other than Mrs. Teeter the Spotted Sandpiper. Peter had stopped abruptly. “I am looking,” he replied indignantly. “What is the matter with you anyway?” He once more made as if to take an- other step and once 1iore Mrs. Teeter dashed almost in his face. “You're not!

The symptoms are easler to interpret if, in addition to the child’s marked Indifference to food, the gain is extraor- dinarily large and the baby has been on the same food for some time. When these three conditions are present and the baby is showing no other signs of disturbance, we are rather safe in the diagnosis of overfeeding. . Mrs. M. 's baby weighed 6 pounds at birth and now at 5 months weighs 15 pounds. His mother feels she needs some help. “He takes 32 ounces of milk, 10 ounces of water, and 6 tablespoonfuls of malt sugar. Lately he hasn't been finishing his bottles. He, just takes 3 ounces out of the 7. After every bottle he vomits. He has been doing this since I gave them to him. I thought the milk was too sweet 50 I took out some of the sugar. I reduced the bottles to five & day, starting from 6 in the morning. “I have given him additional feedings since 3 months of age. I gave him wheat at 9 o'clock, and zweiback at 12, and wheat again at 5 o'clock. Every morning at 8 I give him 2 ounces of orange juice. Should I start him on vegetables now? Is it necessary for him to vomit after every bottle? Is his milk too heavy.” His whole diet is excessive. The fact that baby has gained 9 pounds instead of a very adequate 7 pounds ought to convince you that overfeeding plays no small part in his vomiting and appetite- lessness. Change his formula to 30 ounces of skimmed milk, 5 ounces of boiled water, nd 4%, level tablespoonfuls of malt ugar, to be put into five bottles. Give & bottle at 6 am. orange juice at 9 m., wheat and bottle at 10 a.m., veget- (begin when baby's appetite is better) and bottle at 2 p.m., wheat and bottle at 6 p.m., bottle at 10 p.m. and nothing more until morning.

Summer Nursing. & Y HUSBAND thinks I should nurse the baby through her second Sum- mer, since she is so small.” Perhaps it might be illu- minating to “husband” to ask him why he wants to continue a food beyond the normal limits when it has already proved so unsuccessful? There is seldom any valid excuse for second Summer nursing; there is even less than the usual one when the baby milk and this baby shows no particular enjoyment of the bottle. It is natural for the breast-fed baby of even six or seven months to become a light and fitful sleeper and a per- sistent “night feeder.” This habit is di- rel;tly related to the waning breast sup- P - The baby now needs & full formula of milk, water and sugar, and I would suggest using 32 ounces of milk. If baby still takes & regular night, feed- ing, from which habit she would be more easily broken if her daytime feea- ings were more satisfying, include six ounces of water and about two table- spoonfuls of sugar in the formula. Boil | both milk and water, and add sugar to | the water, to be dissolved before com- | bining with the milk. Cool and put into five bottles and keep on ice. When | [the baby starts sleeping through the night, omit the water and sugar and |give four eight-ounce bottles of milk. Boiling the milk makes it less apt| to upset a baby who has any sencitivity | | toward it. Also, do not make the mis- | take of offering too rich a milk, for the | appetite is easily spoiled by feeding a | highly rich cows’ milk. You can soon omit the vitamin D dosages and de- pend upon sunlight for baby's vita- min D. Begin baby's day at 5 am., if that is your usual rising hour, scheduling the feedings at 5, 9, 1 and 5. Put baby to bed for the night at 5 p.m., even if you feed her again at 9 p.m. Later you may find that baby will be con- tent with only three meals and tne going-to-bed hour may be lengthened to agree with the longer daylight hours.

For a luncheon or supper menu, he concedes, & combination salad of fruits or vegetables may logically be consid- ered as part of the mainstay of the meal, where it will justify its greater cost and higher food value. But for the menu which includes meat, potatoes, green vegetables and dessert, an elabo- rate salad certainly is not needed. The dietetic value of the salad course is fully accounted for by the simple greens. ‘There is, too, that little matter of the salad dressing. It must be made of the best ingredients or it will turn tastes away from salad, especially if it be one of plain lettuce or mixed greens.

Both were teetering on their slim little legs as if they never would quite get balanced. ‘What is the trouble?” asked Teeter anxiously. “This stupid fellow was just going to step on our eggs,” replied Mrs. Teeter. “No such thing!” retorted Peter indig- nantly. “I haven't even seen your eggs. “That is just it!” cried Mrs. Teeter. “You don’t look where you are going, s0 you trample right over other people’s things.

It wasn't much of a nest there just in front of him, still it was a nest, a few grasses and bits of moss laid together in a little depression among the pebbles, and in it were two eggs, rather large for the size of the one who had laid them, one end much smaller than the other, white heavily spotted with dark brown, especially around the larger end. “Well?” sald Mrs. Teeter. “I beg your pardon,” said Peter. “I don’t blame you for getting excited.

Clay soil, however, can be lightened by using loose, coarse manure or leaf mold. Sometimes the soil is too sandy, but that condition can be overcome by adding well-rot- ted manure. Most dahlias make large growth, and for that reason should stand 18 inches apart, with twice that distance between the rows. Six inches is about the right depth for planting the average dahlia root.

Even professional writers | find it difficult, after years of un- ceasing practice, to give the reader the exact impression they intend to convey. In a spoken explanation, the way one looks, the sound of one's voice—also the expression or the remarks made by the listener—help to give the mean- ing one intends. Criticism in hard, cold, unaccented words is almost cer- tain to hurt—sometimes needlessly.
