SLEEP FOR NEW BABY
By Dr. Lena K. Sadler.
After our baby has been oiled.
bathed and otherwise cared for It is
put into its little corner for at least
four hours' rest before It is put to the
mother's breast. There are two rea
sons for this. First, the baby should
sleep and rest after Its first bath, anJ,
second. It is well that he mother be
come rested and refreshed after her
laborious ordeal before nursing her
babe.
Baby Mast Bleep Alone.
Our story today is to discuss where
baby shall take his first nap and
where he shall sleep and rest for
months and years to come. In the first
place, baby must sleep alone. There
are many reasons why he should not
sleep with his mothei" chief among
which are:
First Since the days of King Solo
mon, and before, for that matter.
mothers have unconsciously smothered
their babies by rolling on them while
moving or tossing In their sleep. Such
tragedies could all be avoided if babies
slept by themselves in their own little
beds.
Second The parent being so much
larger than the baby, the covering Jf
the bed cannot be snugly wrapped
about the small form in a manner to
avoid draughts, etc., unless the little
one is placed far below the pillow line,
which compels him to breathe the foul
est of foul air vii., the air underneath
the bed clothes.
Third The baby usually gets too
warm and becomes Irritated, his sleep
Is disturbed and he begins to "fuss
and whine." This Is usually Inter
preted by his mother as indicating that
"baby la hungry." so the bad habit
of nursing baby to satisfy him and to
prevent his annoying the household
is instituted. The resul is that the
baby who sleeps with its mother
nurses from three to a dosen times
during the night. My reader can read
ily see at a glance the rar reacmus
effects of Indigestion and general dis
comfort of the baby from such a
thoughtless procedure.
Fourth The mother's rest Is need
lessly broken. Now, of all necessary
things, to my mind, the one most
needful for the happiness, content
ment and peace of the nursing mother,
to say nothing of a state of well being
hih t.mi. tn nroduce good milk
supply. Is to avoid all needless dis
turbance during her sleeping hours.
The First Bed.
cino- hv all decided that baby
shall not sleep with Us mother, the
question before us Is "Where sha.l
he sleep?" Usually the problem of
baby's bed Is solved during the later
days of the "getting ready time, when

under the impression that If there

had one of The Journal's good looking

A MODERN piOGENES
Philosopher Outdone.
Cleveland Moffett has taken lessons
from Dlogenes'and gone him one bet

cynic philosopher of the tub Bought
one honest man. His New York dis
ciple used the U. H. mails to test 60
men and DO women and he found hon
esty In a surprising number. He tells
about it in McClure's.
Mr. Moffett made his test by send
ing to each of 50 women and 00 men
a $1 bill enclosed in a letter, the text
of which made it evident that the
money waa Intended for the Novelty
Supply company of 153 East Sixty
sixth street. The company was ficti
tious, but the address waa Mr. Mof
fett's own. Six weeks later 33 wom
en and 30 men had returned the dol
lar. "One thing comforts me," says Mr.
Moffett. "Out of five successful bus
iness women five returned the money.
Of five saloonkeepers and five police
men, only one from each class sent me
back the SI bill."
The returns in each class of five
were as follows:

Hire Aged Men to
Act as Office .'Boys"
New Tork. Dec. 20.-I. N. S.)-Many
big firms here, suffering from the
acute ramine of orrice boys, have
started to employ aged men in their
place. These are proving even more
satisfactory than the youngsters. They
get a slightly higher rate of pay. While
many of them were thrown Into the
great Industrial discard several years
ago, they now often do remarkably
more In proportion to their pay than
the old-time office boys.
The dearth of office boys Is caused
by prosperity, which sends many boys
back from the office to high school and
enables others to grab and hold man

The average Institution has always,
perhaps, been kinder to the old than a
grudging family would be. Perhapg it
has been kinder than some well-intentioned
but very busy and poor people
were able to be. The overwhelming
burdens and anxieties of the very poor
are surely enough to weur through any
but the moat forbearing spirit and
rasp all but the gentlest voice and
hand. But It Is safe to say that most
old men and women would rather die
among their own than ln whatever
material comfort among strangers.
They can make a great many allow
ances for their own children and a
great many more for the youthful
thoughtlessness and selfishness of
their grandchildren. Perhaps the com
monsense Idea Ot mothers' pension
may sometimes be applied to grand
mothers, and old people who have rea
sonably dutiful children may be main
tained in peace at home with them
rather than regimented In an institu
tion. That cardinal abuse of separating

be reached very soon by such appeal

regard, has some humaner custom

of having the old people next door or

people who own their home but noth

Such a holding might be used In per
