HOW THEY FEED BABIES IX THE

IN the Panama Canal hospitals they
feed the babies on oondensed milk.
If they could get plenty of good fresh

use of condensed milk.
This Is not as far away a matter as
It seems. A good many thousand
mothers In our cities must choose be
tween condensed milk and a poor
grade of liquid milk. A good many
thousand homes In our oltles are not
supplied with Ice. The mothers In such
homes will do well to follow the lead
of the Panama Canal hospitals.
A baby S days old Is given a mixture
of one part sweetened condensed milk
three parts unsweetened condensed
milk. In 60 parts of boiled water. Of
this he gets one-half ounce every two
hours, or eight feedings a day. By the
end of the first week the proportion
of water is dropped to 20 parts, the
number of parts of milk remaining the

STALE BREAD 19 HARDER TO GET
Consumer Find. Favorite I.o.f Scarce
Since Flour Went Vp.
PORTLAND, May 22. (To the Edl-"
tor.) Recently there was an article
In The Oregonlan about the waste of
stale bread, which was said to be used
for hog feed when It was much more
valuable for human food. The article
stated that the master bakers were to
meet and consider the hard question
of hard bread. I have watched eagerly
to learn their decision, but have seen
nothtnsr mora about It In the Daors.
In the piece about bread trouble. It
was stated that bread that had notning
wrong with it except being a day or
two old was gathered and sold for two
bit. per sack for hog feed.
Now I admit that hogs are more val
uable than men at the present time,
but there are a good many people In
our city who would like to get bread at
that price, even If it were three days
old. to feed their families with. I would
even be glad to pay twice that price
for bread not more than two or three
days old If I only knew where to get It.
Long ago when a full pound loaf could
be bought for a nickel. I u.ad to get two
loaves of yesterday . Dreaa tor tne
prloe of one fresh loaf. After flour had
begun to rise It was harder to get the
day-old bread, although some that was
sold for fresh wa. pretty hard. Still,
there were few place, where It could
be bought three for a dime. Now that
most bakers have quit making the
6-cent loaf, no yesterday's bread can
be found In the stores.
It has been whispered that the rea
son yesterday's bread can no longer
be bought at a reduced price Is because
the bakers think it reduce, the sal, of
their fresh bread. Of course, they would
not be that selfish and .tupld

STUMP LAXD IS BEST FOR FARMS
Powder for Clearing Should Be Made
by Government.
SHERWOOD, Or., May 21. (To the
Editor.) I see- considerable In , the
p.-pers in regard to getting settlers on
logged-off land. It Is the best land
we have and should be cleared and
farmed.
Why Is It that 95 per cent of the
land that la being farmed in the North
west Is prairie land and that those
who are trying to make farms out
of stump land have so few acres In
cultivation and large stump pastures?
will tell you.
Fanning ha. become a business prop
osition. There is but one practical
way to take out stumps and that is
with powder, the price of which is
prohibitive and never has been where
one could afford to use it for land-
clearing purposes.
Stump powder should be made by
the Government and sold at actual coat
for land-clearing purposes. This could
be done in each slate and managed by
