Fewer Illness and Less Dis
- ease Come From Proper
Balance of Meals
ITie'Oreffoii statesman' Baby Editloh'

Mora attention than ever be
fore is being, given to the foods
which a baby eats. As a result
infants today are less fretty than
in yesteryear. They hay fewer
illnesses and are less prey to dis
ease. Their diets are balanced and
the growth, of the child Is steady
-and normal. Teeth are better
cared for in -the early stages of
the baby's life through proper
feeding.
In addition to proper milk,
foods which the baby should have
daring his first year In life are:
Orange juice or tomato juice,
which are given chiefly because
they buddIv Titamin C. the factor
that prevents scurry. They also

Cod-liver oil. which is given
chiefly beeaiiM it supplies vita

Ess yolk, which ia Riven chief
ly because it supplies iron; it
also supplies Titamlns A and D.
Cereals and bread, which are
given because they supply starch,
protein, and minerals. Dark
wheat cereals and bread are es
p e c i ally valuable for minerals,
Titamin B, and roughage.
Dark-green leafy vegetables
and also carrots, which are giv
en chiefly because they supply
iron. They also supply other
minerals, and also vitamins A
and B.
Stewed fruits, such as prunes
and apples, which are given
chiefly because they help to reg
ulate the bowels. These fruits al
so supply-v iron and other miner

Potatoes, which are given be-

Crawling on Floor
Is Vital For Baby
Crawling on the floor for ex
ercise is necessary for the baby.
So is exploring his surround
ings and learning to recognize by
sight and feel all the furnishings-
which are a part of the
grown-up world.
And at this stage, the mother
who has been so conscientious
about sterile feeding bottles,
clean club sheets and hygienical
ly laundered baby clothes should
ask herself: "Is my living room
really clean enough for the
baby?"
The neat dusting and surface
cleaning good enough for grown
ups may not be enough for
the baby at alL
Dust and germs lurk in .uphol
stered furniture and apparently
in rugs on which the baby plays.
Naturally these can not be con
stantly washed and made sterile
as can the baby's own equipment,
but they need and should get
plenty of brushing, air, and thor
ough treatment with a vacuum
cleaner to draw out lurking dirt.
Vacuum cleaners with extra at
tachments, therefore, become an
almost indlspensible appliance in
the home where there is a small
child or a baby.
"Skyline" Chairs
A nationally known manufac
turer of high chairs has designed
.a new "Skyline" series designed
with straight skyscraper lines.
There are three different types.
One is a regulation chair with
wide base and removable tray.
One is a two-purpose chair (play
table and high chair). The third
is a three-purpose nursery chair).
All come in maple finish.
Soap For Baby Clothes
Baby's clothing needs a differ
ent kind of soap from that used
for the rest of the family laun
dry. Only the very mildest
white soap should be used for
baby things. Frequently the rash
ea and skin irritations that are so
painful to a small baby can be
traced to the use of the wrong
kind of soap.

Wliat to Do Wlien Baby Will Not Eat
Vexing Problem; Too Muck Attention
By Nurse or Parent Is Not Desired
JJ Iia3 the high-sounding name
of Anorexia." Medical conven
tions discuss it. Doctors write
books about it. Psychologists sug-
gest remedies for it. Mothers
grow worried and desperate
about it.
What does it mean? Lack of
appetite! It's what happens when
little Billy or Betty dwadles over
a meal won't eat the nice spin
ach, won't drink the lovely milk,
has to be ccaxed and cajoled
through every bit of the meal.
It's grown to be such a prob
lem that on doctor has drawn
up quite a list of the various rea
sons which may cause it in indi
vidual cases.
Some of these causes are real
ly physical. Some are hygienic
(an insufficiency of fresh air, ex
ercise, sleep or sunlight), and
some are dietary.
Diet May Re Wrong
Dietary causes may be over
feeding in general or overfeed
ing of some one type of food.
There may be a lack of vita
mins. There may be too much
eiting between meals. The diet
may be wrong for the child.
But the longest list of possi
ble reasons has to do with psy
chology with the mental atti
tude of the child or his parents.
Maybe the child simply likes to
be coaxed! That's one way of
getting the attention children
love. Maybe it's the parents' own
dislike of spinach or milk that

makes the child refuse them.
Children are imllativd by nature.
.But at least a good part of the
doctor's list is a reflection on the
parents' attitude toward this
whole business of meals and eat
ing. Causes Are I-i.-tetl
He gives all the following as
possible causes of anorexia:
Forced feeding.
Over-solicious, hovering atten
tion. Too much talk about eating
habits.
Too much discipline especial
ly stressing of manners.
Emotional strain before eating,
or at the table.
Rewards for eating.
Unpleasant surroundings at
meals.
Too much time at meals.
In other words, the mother
who ha3 "tried everything" in
an effort to make her child eat
has worked so hard at it that she
may be encouraging the diffi
culty she seeks to overcome.
If there is no real physical or
dietary reason why the child
should refuse food or eat it re
luctantly, try making the family
mealtime jollier, with more con
versation about other things and
less about food and eating.
Parents might try displaying a
bit of zestful appreciation for the
same foods they wfit their chil
dren to eat.

And if the child still shows
a lack of appetite, authorities
agree that the best thing to do
is not to coax, but to let him go
hungry until the next regular

PetSUB6iy
By All Youngsters
The child is to be pitied who
has grown up without ever know
ing the joys of owning a pet.
Birds and fish and turtles are
fun to watch, and an education in
themselves. Puppies, kittens and
bunnies are more than mere live
plaything to be toddled.
As soon as a little child is old
enough not to commit acts of
unconscious cruelty, a pet may
serve to instill valuable lessons
in kindness. He will learn to be
gentle and self-controlled in or
der to win his pet's trust.
The youngster who is an only
child, and runs the d'-i'cer of be
ing self-centered, is in particular
need of such companioship.
No pet need be a nuisance to
the rest of the household if the
children are taught that the re
sponsibilities, as well as the
pleasure, of owning a pet are
to be their very own.

MILLER'S
BEAUTY SHOP
The very young miss, ranging
from two to four yeara old, is al
most as clothes conscious as her
older sister or her smartly
gowned mother. She adores new
frocks and like a grown-up, the
stimulus provided by a becoming
ensemble Will encouragp her to
be her most ' charming 'self.
A brief tour of Salem shops
reveals a stunning array of spring
apparel for the baby-deb. (She
is a deoutante, in the sense that
this may be her first season ot
stepping out in society and meet
ing tha world. Perhapg she has
just mastered the art of walking
and the social grace of talking).
When mother takes her down
town, she would look adorable in
one of the new washable ensem
bles which have Just been de
signed this year. The frocks are
made of ribbed dimity or shan-
tune and are plain or frilly, ac
cording to your taste. One model
WM Ol tUnjMise hUv ribbed dim
ity with a ruffled collar which
fitted over the outside of the
loose coat fashioned of beige
crash. The coat pockets wre
bound in turquoise to accent the
dress.-
Another shantung frock was of
brown and blue polka dot print
which was matched with a plain
brown picque coat fastening with
two buttons at the throat.
For spectator sports, which will
have to satisfy this young miss
for a few years yet, she would
make a picture in a white shan
tung dress with red stars sprin
kled down the front and the sailor
collar trimmed with red braid.
This number also comes in navy
blue.
If the baby-deb is assisting her
mother at tea or carrying in the
shower gifts at a party, a dimity
or Jawn pastel frock with a
touch of handwork on the collar
and yoke wpuld enhance her fem
ininity. Cottons are much more
sensible and appropriate than
silks for the very young miss.
They wash beautifully.
