' '1 '5’ ABIT S formed in childhood are
:‘H hard to break. This is true of
’ —-~ good habits as Well as bad. Some
= mothers do not realize that a
338133361311 at the tender age of three or
{flour weeks, so far as sleeping, feeding,
' tion of the bowels, etc, is ‘concerned,
5 a”<good deal like a machine. So when
9111:: baby cries too‘ much, is awake at the
{wrong hours, suffers from colic because
{of under or ovcr feeding or from feed-
ling at irregular periods, the machinery
ishould not be blamed, but rather the one
fivbo is taking care of it.
, Constipation ‘in infants and young
thildrenis one of the most frequent dis-
orders we have to deal with. It is largely”
.a matter ‘01 habit. very often due to lack
of training during infancy. Bottle-fed
'babies are very apt to suffer from it as
well as breast-it‘d babies. In " either
‘brwst or bottle—fed babies the habit of
having the bowels move with absolute
regularity should be established‘ from
birth. Giving medicine for constipation
is .11 v' rcng. A proper use of the nurs-
cry chaii is (me of the‘most-important
things that :1 mother can teach her in;
{3:22, for lack of muscular development
of the intestines, which may become
chronic, can be caused by the mother’s
neglect of this early training.
Other’tauscs “of constipation are im—
proper diet, not enough water to drink,
and in the case of older children, inat—
tention or‘ indifference to this important
mutter of regular habits so far as the
bowels are concerned. \\ 11h the breast;
‘Ieé babyithe'source of the‘trouble‘ may
often be found in the mother herself.
When constipation in a breast-fed baby
resultsfrom the mother’s improper diet,
the remedy may be found in regulating
lief food. She should take bran gems
with each meal and drink thin, well-
salted yellow corn meal grucl, between
meals,»instcad of milk.
Keep the Moflzer Well
During a nursing baby’s first two or
three months, the condition of thé‘ bow-
els is most easily regulated through the
mother s dict. llfotlzcrs who drink large
quantities of tea will find that thir- milk
is apt to cause constipation in the baby,
for? tea contains a good deal of tannin
and this is very cousfipating. The nurs-
ing mother may eat plenty of fresh;
green vegetables and almost all fruits.

Regular action of the bowels may be
induced by giving breasbfcd and bottle
fed babies :1 small amount of orange
juice, as early as the fourth month. At
first this may be given one spoonful at
a time, diluted with an equal amount of
Water, but when the child becomes used
to it the amount may be gradually in-
creased to one ounce and the water re-
duced little by little until it is dispensed
with altogether if the oranges are fairly
sweet. Sugar should not. be» added to
sweeten the juice and the orange juice
should be given between feedings.
After the baby is six months old, beef
juice for constipation may be given be-
tween feedings in much the some way.
Proper Articles of Diet
When the bottle-fed baby is consti—
pated it may be that its food contains
too much starch. If the movements» are
of 3‘ very light color, perhaps the liver is
being made inactive by too licaxy fat or
cream in the formula. 111 such cases the
formula should be regulated 40 suit the
baby's digestive capacity. Often wclL
cooked oatmeal grucl, strained, used as
a diluent tO'tlle milk will be helpful, or
a malted preparation used with the gruel
may be tried if the grucl itself is not
enough. Lime water will sometimes
proveconstipatiug and should be omit-
ted from the. formula if the child seems
to suffer from inactive bOWels. \thu
children are old enough to cat'solids
they should be given plenty of fresh
green vegetables and few of the starchy
variety. Give them whole wheat bread
or bran biscuits in place of wheat bread,
and if they like crackers,"whole wheat
crackers and not the starchy cracker
should be given. Butter may .be spread
on the bread or crackers,.not in large
lumps, but evenly. This diet is pre-
scribed, of course, for the child who
suffers from habitual constipation.
Older children who are eating aivaré
lety of solid food will often find too
much milk very constipating. Some.
times buttermilk substituted for. sweet
milk will be beneficial and correct the
trouble. Cereals should. consist chiefly
of oatmeal, yellow cornmeal mush' or
graham flour mush. Fresh 'fruit,‘ baked
apples, sauce and prunes prepared in var-
ious ways are :1 most suitable dessert for
children who have a tendency to con-
stipation. Too much candy, cake or
other sweets is not good.' Lack of ’active
out of door exercise, as I have suggested,
'will often cause this trouble in growing
Lclhldren. To remedy these things the
ninther should see that sfieets are ornit-
Miami that the child‘ spends more time
ilfbjitt of door play. It is of themfést'
l
To make ‘walls attractive is one of
the most important features of.
' rcdccoration or rcfurnisbing a
home; it deserves the most care-
ful attention when a new'house'is built.
As the walls form a back ground for the
furniture and hangings of the interior,
they should not jar or “jump out" at
one, and as :1 general rule neutral tones
and textures in wall coverings are most
desirable. The most attractive furniture
and carefully chosen hangings may be
spoiled by spotty or ugly walls, while a
neutral background permits occasional
changes in draperies and other details,
but shows ornaments and furniture to
the best advantage.
In finishing walls there are several
simple principles to remember. Light
tones made a room appear larger; dark
shades have the opposite cficct.‘ To have
the wall openings, such as doors and
windows, emphasized by :1 contrasting
tone, will serve to reduce the apparent
size 'of the room; breaking the unifOrm-
ity of the walls by panels or other means
has a similar result. 1
The walls should always be lighter in
tone than the floor and darker in tone
than the ceiling. Have the floor dark-
est, the ceiling lightest, then tlic‘walls
between, and the various planes of the
room will assume the correct tone. If
the floor is lighter than the walls, it will
appear to "jump" at the occupant of the
room, while if’thc ceiling is: darker than
the walls, it will seem unduly low.
There should be not too great contrast
between the tones of the three planes of
a foam, but variation in shade should be
evident, and careful manipulation of
these tone gradatious makes possible an
apparent increase or decrease of the
rOOm‘ in»'height - and width.
Other means of changing the apparent
proportions of a room are by the use of
vertical or horizontal "lines in‘tlie wall
coverings. Paper‘that is striped, for in-
stance, will make the room appear higher,
while horizontal lines, as in a wainscot-
ing, will serve to widen it in effect. \\ all
coverings which have vistas or depth,
such as pictorial paper, will frequently
scam to increase the size of a room,
whereas a paper decorated in a spotty
design, with scattered flowers or other
motif, has the opposite result. Dull fin-
ished fibfls‘dre5alway§fi>euer than bright

color on light backgrounds.
One of the best materials for wall
coverings; is grass cloth, which has a
peculiar lustrous finish and makes an
admirable background for pictures and
furniture. It is particularly pleasing in
gold, tan and gray shades. Silk wall
coverings are attractive, but silk must
be handled by an expert. Among other
textiles used on walls, crctomie has ad-
vantages in finish and coloring not :11—
ways appreciated. Certain all-over dc—
signs of flowers in blended shades, and
the old fashioned Chintz patterns of
birds, make rooms of marked l1: auty if
combined 11 11h wooden 1v. ainscoting and
paneled with wood, or used in conjunc-
tion with plain textiles.
Use of Wnod An‘ Advantage
The advantage of wood as :1 wall finish
is indisputable. It has been used for
centuries and never loses its beauty of
finish and color, nor goes out of fashion.
“food of natural richness forms an un-
excclled wall finish, citlzcr paneled ‘or
wood are only a few of the woods that
may be used, and where the natural tone
is light or glaring, it may be stained and
waxed to look aged, “leaving the natural
grain evident. Other ,wo'ods used"for
walls are covered ”\vith' paint or enamel

Different Wall Coverings and Simple Principles Worth Remembering “to
Secure Serviceable Treatment
and then painting the whole in (lull tints
of ivory, gray or cream. Distinctly
novel and particularly desirable in halls
or'otbcr small rooms is the effect of in-
set mirrors on the walls, not left plain
and suggestive of barber shops, but
framed and miss—Crossed with molding
in lattice effect or squares like antique
windows. This treatment is certain to
increase the apparent size and brightness
of :1 small or dim room, but is not appro—
pziatc to a living room. It is suited to
an entrance hall, breakfast room or din-
ing room.
Although panels secured with molding
or on Walls of wood are desirable, the
same is not true of the «obtrusive panel-
ing with "cut-out” wall-paper designs.
Such over-decoration of the walls is to
be avoided, and fric‘zcs of that style
should never be used. A frieze of any
sort is unnecessary and usually is a detri-
ment to the beauty of a room. Any un-
due emphasis of the line below the cell-
ing will make the ceiling lower in effect,
ration above the baseboard is even worse.
The best finish for the average room in
the average home is a simple line of
molding matching the other-woodwork
at the junction of “’all and ceiling.
HS“! Wood Not Essential

orange lint which some hardwoods have
when varnished, is extremely ugly and

rated. Sacrifice the, evidence of “hard

some pCt‘lplC—~€lli(l cover the yellow with
enamel in whitofior light tint, or refinish
the wood with a derk'slain, thou wax
or Varnish. Dark finished woodwork is
usually less desirable than :1 lighter tint,
as it emphasizes doors and windows; but
in rooms of a certain style it should be
used with rich, deep color schemes.
The advantage of colored woodwork
is not realized by the average house-
holder. Instead of the usual ‘white,
ivory or cream, a soft gray or buff is
desirable in many rooms, while just a
hint of green, yellow, pink or even blue
will often bring the woodwork into liar,-
mony with the wall finish and give more
character than would otherwise be appar;
ent. Such tints should not be lightly
attempted. however, and cream, ivory,
gray or buff are always safe.
