~ Let the ‘Baby Set His Own Schedule
THE LATEST trend in feeding little babies is to let them set their » own time schedule for eating and| take as much or -as little as they! want at a feeding. It sounds like heresy to the| previous generation of mothers who! were > taught to keep baby on a! strict schedule and who worried, as mothers in any age seem to, over whether baby got enough food or too little. The ‘answer to doubts is given yl Dr. C. Anderson Aldrich and Dr, Edith 8. Hewitt of the Mayo Clinic and the Rochester, Minn, Child Health Project in a report to the Journal of the American Medical Association. .
" » ” a THE BABIES do all right, judged by their height, weight and ap-| petite at about the time of their | o first birthday. Ninety-two of 100 . have excellent appetities, The aver-| "age height for 668 babies on a self- | regulating feeding program almost | from birth was 29.4 inches at the age of one year. The average weight was 21.8 pounds, These figures, the doctors say, compare favorably with |
the generally accepted standards. | “©. The babie§ were “put on their own” as soon as they and their mothers went home from the hospital. Mothers were told they could feed the babies all they wanted to! eat when they seemed hungry. They did not have to wake them by the! clock to feed them at a prescribed! time.

Of 100 babies, 61 put themselves on the three-hour schedule by the end of the first month. Ten chose a two-hour schedule and 26 chose the “more approved” four-| hour schedule. One was on four meals a day and two were still too, irregular to be graded. As they got older the babes| switched by themselves to longer intervals between feedings.

The goal of equal brightness of task and surroundings, Mr. Gibson admits, cannot be considered practical for school rooms. Therefore the thing he advises is to work toward balancing the brightnesses, bringipg them as near the goal of unity as possible. This can be done one step at a time, and the first thing to do is to bring very low brightness areas nearer in balance with the high brightness areas. Painting ‘a drab ceiling with a flat, non-glossy white paint will raise the brightnesses on the inside row of desks as much as 100 , ber cent, Upper walls from ceiling to wainscot should be finished with at least 60 per cent reflection factor paint, lower walls from

THE DOCTOR ANSWERS—
QUESTION: I have styes on both eyes. What is their cause and treatment? ANSWER: Styes result from a local infection of the hair follicles. They are spread by rubbing the eyes. If the eyes are kept clean and local applications of ointments, containing drugs which destroy bacteria, are prescribed, they will go away.
