Feeding Proolem In Infants

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. I Os all tin- behavior problem** vhit h occur tn children, them* connected with feedinu are the most common. Moat of them* problem* begin during tho flrat two year* of the child'* life, but according to hr Benjamin Hueck <f New York, they not develop at all if motheat will only learn that babie* ar<- people, too. That m. they are not just little containers to be Muffed with such and such an amount of food. From earliest infancy they hare their Individual preference* ar to quan tity and. as time goes on, they quite naturally develop ali sorts of likes and dislikes as mon* and more foods are added to their menus. Force a Mistake To begin with, a feeding problem may occur when the mother first arrives at home with her baby from the hospital, with a feeding formula that perhaps contains mure of the milk formula than the baby really needs. When the baby has taken a* much of the milk as he wants and falls aafoen. the mother, iaetead of being pleased, notes that some of the SdQt is St— left in the bottle. Hhe then attempte to awaken the baby to make him take what is left. If be wakens and cries she puts the uippie on the bottle iato am toby* soath U he trits to go to aleop agaia abe wiggiea, the nipple about.

He is back home in Little Rock, i Arkansas now waitfttg for develop- ( menu. _Q—-O-I I Road Lines White lines <>n the highway go hack to a simple idea, but the liven they have saved are beyond anybody's guess It was Dr. McCarroll who thought of it first, and her first »up|>orlers were members of the women’s club in the desc-i t town of Indio. California. I As a result of her efforts, first I experiments with lane lines were made by the California Highway Commission In 1924. Today every state in the union uses the method to cut down traffic accidents. Any driver who has followed' 1 a fog-covered -mad by clinging to the white line, or swung around ' mountain curves confident that I any oncoming cars would stay on I their side of the line, or moved , through thick traffic controlled < only by simple lane marks, can thank Dr. McCarroll. She had a good Idea and she worked for it until the right authorities were « convinced of its value. ■—O ——o «

Historic Letters A useful public career Is rei s-alled by the announcement that the letter* of ex-Gov. Frank O. i Lowdeia of Illinois have been given ' to the University of Chicago by his daughter. Lowden was an excefitionally vigorous governor from 1917 to 1921. In 1920 his chances seemed good for getting the Republican presidential nomination, which in that year ineant election. Early I in the balloting it was revealed i that two Missouri delegates had ! been offered money to vote for , Lowden. No one accused him of i knowledge of this crime, but he I could not escape hlame for having | agents who used such methods. The revelation causer) the conven-l tion to pass him by and ultimate-1 | ly make the unfortunate choice oft i Warren G Harding. Lowden would probably have i made an excellent president. In partkulM- he understood fanning . problems, which the dominant administration figure* in the '2O s did I | not. Out of sympathy with them, i peremptorily declined the 1921 , vice-president nomination on the ! Gooiidge ticket. The Uiwden letters should add much to knowledge of the politics I nf the time.

Os course, the baby resents treatineiii of this sort and will refuse to take the milk that he ttorw not want. Gradua'ly he will begin to refuse to take the milk mixture that he should have. As the mother becomes more and more concerned, the habit of refusing to take the milk mixture only gets worse. Babies who have been roblted of their appetite in this way go all through childhood as ‘‘poor eatens." Thu? it is important in the first few weeks of the baby's life for the mother to understand that the baby usually can Ire trusted to control the amount of food that he requires. In planning a feeding formula for the baby, the physician can only approximate the amount the baby needs to satisfy his innger. Parents should not try after the baby has stopped feeding to make the baby take the milk mixture that may lie left in the buttle Os course, if 'he baby does not gam weight satisfactorily the physician should lie consulted. , Another time at which feeding problem*! arfam is when the baby Is given the first solid (ood, when he is about four or six months old Here, again, there must lie no effort to make the lutby take the strange food in large amounts at first. By going slowly and taking it «••>-. a&1 aot forcing *ktt«i Itbo baby soon will learn to take new foods and like them.

The hope we have had built up for us Is gone A' a recent meeting ttf the Veteran’* of Foreign Wars we were told that It was very likely that we would be able to take this training on the field known as McComb airport. Application was made for the approval of the field by the C. A. A. They made a very extenetvo inspection of the field in Decatur and the final answer is negative. We have no chance now to receive the training in our own home community so we must go somewhere else for it. The nearest place for any of us to go Is to Norm McGee at Van Wert, Ohio I person ally talked to Mr. McGee to take care of about twenty ex-G. L’s who are able to fly In the day time. If you < an fly In the day hours net Norm McGee at McGee Flying Service. I personally didn't agree that the City Council would .gnsne the need for » field that would serve the needs of the G.

CHAPTER FORTT-TWO FLO LOOKED down at the white gloves she gripped tn her hands “Trent, you don't know what ’ Charles standards are! She's never had a chance jo make any—to be herself! She came nearest to it when she ran off with you—until ‘ then 1 don't think she'd ever made an important decision. . . . Mother always planned everything for her. ' Mother's — owned her! When she 1 married you—Mother didn’t let her got Not for a moment! She may have seemed to, but—oh, she's dev- ' er, Trent! She was only waiting! And then this happened. She's smothering Chart* now with after- ' tion and what she makes Charts | think is understanding!” Flo paused, reddening as she saw Trent regarding her with a distinct dis- 1 taste. But she went on, her voice hardening, *Tm shocking you by speaking so of my mother? But I could say a lot more! I know! She’s crippled Charts as much—as much as though she’d bound her feet when she was little, as the Chinese do!" Trent tightened bis hand where It rested on the desk. "What do you propose 1 should do?” he asked tn the flat tone in which he had spoken before. “Go and get Charie. . . .• "I called her the next day. That woman at your mother’s house told me I had the wrong number. I knew I hadn't—l recognised her voice. 1 concluded It was with Otarte’s knowledge. There aren't any towers. these days, in which to lock the erring princesses!" A harsh bitterness broke into his voice. “Oh. aren’t there?" cried Flo, with a little laugh. “I couldn’t tell her I*d agree to what she had asked of me—what ■h-> had made the issue. So there wasn't anything I had to say!" Flo drew to the edge of her chair. "But, Trent, you stopped writing those stories! I know that much—that it was the stones that Charie went into a tailspin over. And Mother'd put the pressure on her,

don’t forgetl She doesn't know you’ve stopped — Mother's seen to that! You can tell her! And then—" Trent lifted hia head. "I didn't stop writing them bars urn Charie asked me to; I’d have yielded to her that night. If 1 could have. . . . The District Attorney suggested that we lay off—they might prejudice a jury. He asked for all the evidence we had. It la out of our bands, now." Flo said, warmly, "Oh, I'm glad you didn’t give in. Trentl I hated thinking you'd stopped—but, Trent, why did you give up your job on the Start" He answered quickly, "I could do that much for Charie—take myself a iong way off . I had thia chance—the Wilmot Foundation wrote to me ■everai weeks «ge. a professor I bad In college is on it—he’d put in a word tor mt The head offices are in New York, but they send mon out tn the field. I'm to go to England. and Denmark and Sweden, study what they're doing in those countries to clear slum sections.. - He was speaking again with hia hard note of finality. Everything ass settled! But Floated, “And you're gotag seeing Charie again?

Therefore, county agent Archbold. warns that nil wheat pro dut ara should insure control of the disease by treating their seed with new improved Ceresan dust at least 24 full hours before seeding This dust is poisonous if Inhah-d but may lie used with safety if precautions are taken to treat seed outside or in a drafty place under a roof, where excess dust will be blown away. The dust may also cause irritation if allowed to remain ou the skin for extended periods.

Trying to see her?" Trent sprang up from h!s chair, i took a step, came back. His face < was stem. “Yes. Take myself off 1 never belonged In Charte's life , She must realise that herself now She hasn't tried to reach me! And she's had time to know her heart Search your heart—a pang twisted Flo's. She got to her feet, tears stinging her eyas. “I toki you that It’s Mother... .* Trent cut in, coldly. “Wouldn’t it always be that way? If 1 have a wife, 1 want all of her!” He gave it the sound ot the last word. His thin face was stony tn its hardness; his shoulders squared Then a ghost of a smile touched hta lips. "Funny, I had a very wrong impression of you! I wouldn't have said you'd give a boot what happened to Charie and me—or anyone! I—apologias!” He held out his hand. Flo put her hand in his, “No, you were right! I was like that! At least, I tried to be. I don’t know myself why I care now, unless It is that I saw it Cbaris*s chance to live a life that would be her own Or ...” she lifted her shoulders. . periiaps it's because it's fighting Mother! You see, all my life I've been fighting her!” Trent gave her hand a sudden hard grip. '’You’ll stand by Charie. won’t you?” The muscles around his mouth twitched. “Trent, you do love her!" cried Flo. with deep reproach. He dropped her hand. “Yes. enough to leave her!” Then he crossed to the door and opened It for Flo to go through it. A sense of failure and Trent's hard face—only his eyes showing that he was suffering—went with her. The Warwick was near by. Sh< turned her step toward it, almost running. Yes, Miss Winslow was In her room, the clerk at the desk toid her “You’re to go up.” Neil was waiting for her in her

open door. "Hello! This is nice-I I didn’t expect to see you so soon! "I was near here. . • •" Flo's explanation faltered; she passed Nell, went Into the room. She crossed to the bed, dropped her hat on it, then, with a little choking sound, threw herself down on it, her face burled In her arma Neil said nothing; but to Flo her silence was more comforting than any words and in a few momenta she sat up, brushed her hair back from her face with a little, apologetic taugn. ~ , -How wtlly of me!
