When a Baby Has the Colic

By Herman N. Bundessn, M. D. . A little experience teils a watch- ' fnl mother when her baby la suffering horn colic for she soon learns to recognize the hard, sharp cry which signifies alalominal diatreme Thia type of crying usually occurs in the evening though, once in a while, such a baby will cry all through the day. The baby's sleep Is disturbed and during an attack Its knees will he bent and its abdominal muscles contracted and rigid. Treatment of Colle According tp Dr Arthur 8. Brackett, of the Yale University School of Medicine, the colic may be due to the fact that the capacity of the baby's stomach and bowel, or bowel alone. Is less than normal. Thus, the treatment of the colic consists in controlling the volume and quality of the food put Into the stomach and bowel. This can be done by Increasing the number of feedings to shorter intervals, decreasing the sise of the feedings and. If necessary. Increasing the concentration. Thus in treating the colic, it is necessary for the doctor to determine just what feed tags may be best. Some infants will do better on tour-hour feedings. others on thr colour. sad not infrequently only two hours should elapse between the

The Czechs will provide Poland with iron, steel, tools and machinery, and Czechoslovakia will get out lets to the s<*a and transportation to these ports. Pow r stations will be jointly constructed, and com missions are working on canal construction projects and agricultural set ups.

From Shatighai, the United Press news service, gives us an idea how inflation works in China. In part, the dispatch reads: "There's a half-million bucks," a man from the United Press bureau told me. "It will get you through the evening if you're careful." Several hours later this visiting editor spent his entire roll on dingey- fort five >at *a» restaurant and'walked balk to his 1 hotel broke. Ten thousand dollar bills are the largest in print these days of runaway inflation. The program is to avoid smaller denominations because it takes such a big bundle of them to buy a meal or a haircut. A package of cigarettes costa eight thousand dollars. Recognized money changers will give you about forty thousand Chinese dollars for 91. U. 8. currency. Among Americans, there's con siderahle kidding almut China's fantastic inflation They get a kick out of making million dollar bets that the Dodgers will beat the Pirates. and pay off with a suitcase full of bills, valued at approximately 925 American The inflation is no Joke to the Chinese. It has wiped out many savings and left the country Im potent to compete in foreign mar kets. China's problem is that her im ports exceed her exports, there is very little sound money coming into the country and her credit is shot. To pay for goods that have been imported, more and more money must be printed. There seems no stop to the spiral.

feedings. However, the more frequently the feedings are given, the less quanlty Is permitted, and. If necessary, water Is given between feedings. Sometimes it Is helpful to give ’he drug known as atropine, since this tends to relax the bowel spasms. When the feeding intervals are shortened, the baby should be kept on this schedule until the caps city of the intestine has increased to the degree that larger amounts of food may be taken at less frequent times. ••• In some cases, it may be found that a change to evaporated or dry milk will be helpful, especially if there Is a history of allergy or oversensitivity in the family. , In the case of a breast-fed baby. Dr. Brackett believes that the colic will be relieved If the baby Is put on a two-hour feeding schedule, being permitted to nurse for just five minutes at each thne. This means that the baby gets ten feedings a day. Dr. Brackett points out -that; ‘he early care of colic is important in order to prevent partial starvation during the time when there is a most active development of the nervous system. It is also necessary to prevent wear sad tear on the parents, as wen as pain in the J .. .

Disciples Os Christ Convention Opened Devoted Ministry Urged By Preacher Buffalo. N. Y. July 30 fUPI - The international convention of the Disciples of Christ was told today that civilization Is faced with "oblivion or the Kingdom of God.* Speaking at a morning session of the conclave, which has attracted more than 4.000 delegates. Travla A. White, pastor of the First Christian Church. Little Rock. Ark , called for a devoted ministry to lead the world out of its present predicament. "The choice before the church." he said, "is whether It shall live aa a nonentity in the rubble of a decaying culture ravaged by paga nixm and hovering In the shadow of momentary final destruction, or become the vanguard of a new spirit and new life that shall lead mankind over Jordan Into the promised land of human brotherhood." Warning that time wax running out, the pastor said the church must have "a prophetic and consecrated ministry wnoxe loyalty Is to God first, and whose compelling dedication is to the needs of humanity." "The minister will be a voice crying In the wilderness without impressive power unless the man in the pew bears witness, too.” he said. Dr. Orval D. Peterson, pastor of First Christian Church. Yakima, Wash., said the responsibility of Christians lx to provide a "magic carpet of peace and hope for others." Calling for enlargement of the group's benevolent program, hr said ("there should be additional homes for the children, including a home for negro children ... A nursing home and a home for pensioners." The convention president, the Rev. Dr. Hampton Adams, phxtor of the I’nfon Avenue Christian Church. St. declared at last night's opening session that the principle of the separation of church and state "is being Jeopardized by subsidies in one form or another to church bodies, especially to the Roman Catholic church." He urged the convention to adopt a resolution expressing “our purpose to contend for that principle," and said that the "freedom of the church to teach Its gospel is to a large measure dependent oh its Independence of the state.” L. N. D. Wells, pastor of East Dallas Christian Church, Dallas. Tex., told the delegatee “we have been little more than playing at religion. The hour has struck and we must begin to work at it."

CHAPTER TWO LUCY WENT on impatiently: "If only Henrietta would make up her mind to marry Edward. She is really fond of him, I know she Is. If they had been here some week-end without the Christows. . . . As it is. John Chrtetow has always the most unfortunate effect on Edward. John, if you know what I mean, becomes so much more so and Edward becomes so much lean so. You understand?" Again Midge nodded. "And I can't put the Christows off because this week-end was arranged long ago, but I do feel, Midge, that it is all going to be difficult, with David glowering and biting his nails, and with trying to keep Gerda from feeling out of It, and with John being so positive and dear Edward so negative—" "The Ingredients of the pudding are not promising," murmured Midge. Lucy smiled at her. ’’Sometimes,’’ she said meditatively, "things arrange themselves quite simply. I’ve asked the crime man to lunch on Sunday. It will make a distraction, don't you think so?" "Crime man?" "Like an egg,” said Lady Angkateil. "He was in Baghdad, solving something, when Henry was High Commlksioner. Or perhaps it was afterwards? We had him to lunch with some other duty people. He had on a white duck suit, I remember, and a pink flower in his buttonhole, and black patent leather shoes. J don’t remember much about It because 1 never think it's very interesting who killed who. I mean once they are dead it doesn't seem to matter why. and to make a fuss about 11 all seems so silly . . ." "But have you any crimes down here, Lucy?” "Oh. no, darling.

trailed for hours. She would make ! Midge some tea. She put the kettle on and then went on down the passage. She paused at her husband's door and turned the handle, but Sir Henry Angkatell, that able administrator, knew his Lucy. He was extremely fond of her, but he liked his morning sleep undis- ! turbed. The door was locked. Lady Angkatell went on Into her own room. She would have liked to , have consulted Henry, but later , would do. She stood by her open window, looking out for a moment or two, then she yawned. She got into bed, laid her head on the pillow, and in two minutes was , sleeping like a child. In the bathroom the kettle came to the boil and went on boiling. "Another kettle gone, Mr. Gudgeon," said Simmons, the housemaid. Gudgeon, the butler, shook his gray head. He took the burned-out kettle from Simmons and, going into the pantry, produced another kettle from the bottom of the plate cubboard where he had a stock of half a dozen. “There you are, Miss Simmons. Her ladyship will never know.” "Does her ladyship often do this kind of thing?” asked Simmons. Gudgeon sighed. "Her ladyship.” he said, "Is at once kind-hearted and very forgetful. if you know what I mean.
