nrw BRITAIN DAYLY HERALD., SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1914. Page of News for Theater Goers and Women Readers WHAT EVERY MOTHER WANTS T0 KNOW ABOUT HER BABY By Anna Steese Richardson, Director of the Better Babies Bureau of the Woman’s Home Companion— Ques- tions of Many Mothers Answered. NO. Z—fnfant Feeding in Summer (Copyright, 1914, by the Woman's Home Companion.) 1.—Why is the bottle-fed baby more prone to summer complaint than the breast-fed baby? Because mother's milk is not ex- posed - to - bacteria, while cow's milk is. Milk which stands absorbs germs. Mother's milk passes directly from the breast to the baby's stomach. Cow’s milk is handled, often by dirty hands. 2.—How can the nursing mother protect her baby from summer com- plaint? By keeping her own digestion .in good’ condition. She must not over- eat, nor eat foods that cause indiges- tion, cramp or dysentery. She must not nurse her baby when overheated. She should nurse the baby regularly and not so frequently as in cool weather. She must not give the young baby. water to drink. After six months she may quench his thirst with water which has been boiled and cooled, not iced. She must never let him sip ice water, lemonade, cold tea or other soft drinks which she en- Joys. .~—What precautions should taken for the bottle-fed baby? Know the source of milk supply. If you live in a city, buy certified milk, or the best bottled milk obtainable. Never buy milk from open cans in groceries or dairies. 4.—Shall I order milk from one cow? Milk from a herd of ‘healthy cows is better. Milk from a single cow is affected by what the cow eats, its slightest ailment. Baby allments have been traced to the milk which came from a cow that was chased by a dog and became overheated, 5. How should milk be prepared? ‘With infinite care and cleanliness. It should be cooled quickly after milking, shipped quickly to your door and then prepared immediately vessels used for no other purpose. Baby ‘experts agree on cow's milk, ‘with the cream stirred in; malt sugar and boiled water; as the best substi- tute for mother’s milk. If the bowels are loose; barley water can be substi- tuted for plain boiled water. Direct- Jy the food is prepared, it is poured into bottles, each -holding a - single feeding. These bottles are stoppered with clean absorbent cotton or cotton wool, ‘set in a wire basket or rack made for the purpose and Dplaced near ice. 6.~—What proportion of milk and water should be given babies at dif- ferent ages? The department of health; city of New “York, issues the following formulas for general use: Baby three days to two weeks, one tablespoon fresh bottled milk, three tablespoons barley water. Start with two tablespoons at each feeding and increase gradually, Feed every two hours. ; Baby two weeks to three months, KEENEY’S WEEK OF JULY 20. be HARRY FISHER WARD & CO.

Gradually the amount | of witer is decreased, the amount of milk is increased, but the amount of malt sugar remains practically the same. 7.—If modified milk does not agree with my baby, what may I substitute? Nothing, without consulting your physician, Never take the advice of neighbors. Your baby’s life depends upon his receiving the right sort of food. “WHAT GODS DECREE” PHOTO PLAY AT FOX’S Patrons of Fox’s theater who at- tended any of the performances yes- terday can attest to the excellence of the programs Mr. Fox is offering for the entertainment of his patrons who are legion. Today an equally good program of motion picture produc- tions make up the all star bill, head- ed by “What the Gods Decree,” a masterful photo drama in four parts, dealing with the pursuit of a sacred necklace that carries the spectator through a series of thrilling episodes and hair breadth-escapes.. ‘‘What the Gods Decrée” is'a four reel produc- tion that verges on the hysterical SCENE FROM “LAST POMPEII" DAYS OF with all its action and excitement. There is not a slow moment in the play; plot and counterplot follow one another in rapid succession, until at the end everything ends serenely. The balance of the big special of- fering for taday is “The Isle of Aban- doned Hope,” in two great reels, fea- turing the huge ship wrecked at sea; “Plain Mary,” a rural comedy, and “‘Those College Days,” a hilariously funny comedy story, making it, all told, one of ‘the best varied motion picture programs offer this season. Tomorrow one big show will given, starting at without a single repeat until 10:30. That $250,000 production of Lord Bulwer Lytton's famous book, “The Last Days of Pompeii,”” in eight gor- geous acts, will be shown, as well as some of the most recent releases from the Vitagraph, Biograph and Essanay studios. “The Last Days of Pompeii” | is positively the greatest achievement of the film makers’ art.

Sousa Reading Biography ' By RUTH CAMERON. “Evey day is a fresh beginning, Every morn is the world made new, You who are weary of sorrow and sinning, Here s a beautiful hope for you. A hope for me and a hope for you. Every day is a fresh beginning; Listen my soul to the glad refrain, And epite of old sorrow, and older sinning, And puzzies forecasted and possible pain, Take heart with the day, and begin again.” —Susan Cooliige. Do you ever read biographies? When you go up to the public library and come back with an ful of books are theyall fiction or is there occasionally a blography/am them? Perhaps you can’t see any connection between the bit of verse I quoted and those questions. But there is. For it seems to be that the last two lines of that glad refrain exactly what the records of the lives of our great men and women do us. They give us new courage; they show us that weak human beings M) ourselves handicapped by old sorrow and older sinning hawe still able to make something worth while of their lives; they help us also take heart with the day and begin again. And lest that sound too serious to attract you, let me also add truth often really isstrangerthan fiotion and that many of thess ographies are fllled wih love stories, adventures and complications as interesting as any you will find in your novel or your What particular biography you will want to read dependsof course your interests in life. Of course you will want to read the life of favorite hero or heroine if you have not already done so. Then give you a new understanding and appreciation of their books if you the lives of your favorite authors. Anq whatever your line of d may be, whether you are serving the world as an artist, a hom a business man, a teacher, a doctor, or a lawyer you will surely want know how some of your great predecessors have dignified the work. I read the other day that Boswell's “Johnson,” Lockhart's “Life Scott,” Mrs. Gaskill's “Life of Charlotte Bronte,” Trevelyan's “! Froude's ““Carlyle,” and Morley's “Life of Gladstone” are the six biographies in the English language. I have only read two but if the ot are equally good I know I have four more treats awaiting me. Anyone who is interested in colleges and education will especially joy the beautifully writtefi life of Alice Freeman Palmer; the Balfour ography of Stevenson” is one of the most interesting blographies I read. It you like a brief and entertaining sketch you will enjoy Elbert. M\ bard’'s characteristic stories of great men and women, but do mnot them unless you like the Sage of East Aurora for they are all so st flavored with his personality that the original taste of the dish is so what obscured. These are just a few suggestions to launch you on your career of ography reading.
