"BRIGHT STAR! WOULD I WERE STEADFAST AS
THOU ART."
BRIGHT STAR! would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not In lone splendor hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature’s patient sleepless eremite,
The moving waters at their priest-like task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores.
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors
No_yet still steadfast, still unchangeable.
Pillowed upon my fair loves ripening breast.
To feel forever Its soft fall and swell.
Awake forever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath.
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.
. —John Keata
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THE BABY.
Detail!* an to the Feeding, nothin# and Care of the Child Vo
der Two Year*—Some Common Mistake* and Ml*apprrlirndi<»n*
—The Mother'd Duty to Heraelf.
By Mr*. F. L, Steven*
THINK OF WHAT a pathetic lit
tle thing a new-born baby real
ly is! To face new surround
ings, to adapt himself to a new food
supply by an untried digestive ap
paratus, to begin a new way of
breathing by new organs never tried
before, to use untried limbs and body
that now require exercise, to adjust
himself to a new set of conditions,
to drop into a large circle of ac
quaintances, many of whom are as
ignorant of him and his need; a* he
is of them, to live and thrive, ts
indeed a heavy task for the new-born
infant.
A healthy, happy baby, with mind
and body developing as It should, re
quires proper food, proper clothing
and sufficient sleep.
The natural food for the baby is
mother's milk. No patent food, or
preparation of cow's milk can quite
take Its place, if for any reason the
<iiiuiui ue lurntsnea with its
natural food, then the physician must
help the mother to solve her problem.
And here is a pitfall which has
brought many a mother to grief Too
often she relies upon neighbors or
friends to guide her, with the result
that her solution of the problem of
Infant feeding Is oftentimes pure
guess work.
What Experience |>oes Not Teach.
Because a woman has reared
a baby, or even a family, does not
argue that hers is the safe advice. I
do not wish to be counted as dis
crediting experience—that best of
teachers; but experience, born of Ig
norance and upon tradition, based
upon hit-or-miss, cut-and-try meth
ods, Is always dangerous. For ex
ample, I overheard not very long
since a woman telling a young moth
8,ie cured her baby of stom
ach trouble during the teething pe
riod. She chewed the food In her
own mouth and then gave it to the
baby. When we consider this prac
tice in all its unsanitary phases it is
too revolting to dwell upon, and yet
I am told that this is not an uncom
mon practice in many parts of the
country. Whether the food is an
artificial food, prepared cow's milk
nr mother's milk, the baby must be
kept strictly upon a milk diet for the
first six months. Then may be add
ed gruels, made from the cereals,
f r fZi. A" ,peci,?c direction. .n.l .unction.
SSH^KSelsr
such as oatmeal, barley, wheal or
rice.
What the llaby May Km.
If the baby Is thriving, has good
color, sleep* for two or three hour*
after nursing, or if awake, la good
nature*! and apparently comfortable.
If there are normal bowel movements
and steady gain In weight, the milk
diet should be maintained well on to*
ward the end of the first year. Then
the gruel with milk, toasted bread
and milk, or beef Juice, may be added
to the diet.
From birth to three months a baby
should be nursed for 15 minutes
every two to two and one half hours
The child should not be nursed mors
than nine times In 2 4 hours. This
will permit of two night nursings.
From the third to sixth month the
baby should be nursed every three
hours, or eight times during the 24.
with two night nursing* From the
sixth to ninth month, nursings should
tie every thr»«c and one-half hour*,
with one night nursing, or »lx nurs
ing* In 2 4 h.tur* From the ninth to
twelfth month, firs nursings in 5<
hours, with one nursing at night.
From 12 to 14 month*, cow**
milk diluted with barley water or
oat gruid, tieef Juice, white of egg
slightly cooked, later the whole egg.
with the addition of grit* or homi
ny. cooked for at least three hour*,
crisp dry toast, soft egg. chicken or
mutton broth are safi* addition* to
the diet of milk. If the child I* ro
bust at the end of the second sum
mer, baked apple or apple sauce
may be added to the diet. Six feed
ing periods should he maintained
throughout the second year; the last
one. of milk. Is best given at 1®
o’clock at night, preceded by a more
substantial diet at six, when the little
one should be preuarod for sleep.
It nhould be remembered that
water In an Important pnrt of the
bab) n diet. Kven a tiny bnby nhould
have a nip of water from a apoon at
leant nix or seven Ilmen n day. A
young mother will often nurae her
baby if fretful, when all he needs 1*
