EARS ago in a village high in the Welsh hills I dis- cussed baby-feeding with an old woman who, in her time, had helped all the bables in that wistrict to face the world.
Unfortunately, her knowledge of English was somewhat scanty and my knowledge of Welsh perhaps, more rudimentary, but there was one word which she kept trying to impress upon me--halen, which means BÍL.
She had proved fact that not all bables have a sweet tooth; on the con- trary quite a number have a strong predilection for a savoury flavour, and they only really do woll when their, special trates receive attention.
Then there is a second point. Muk is

To vary the shape of steamed pud- dngls, use a cake tin or attrnetively- shaped Jelly mould occasionally.
When using cocon In place of chocolate, use three and one-half tablespoons cocoa for each ounce of chocolate, and add one-half table- spoon butter.
Chocolate should never be melled over a direct flame, but in a jar or pan over hot water. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon.
Papers which have contained but- ter should be saved and used to cover steamed puddings, vegetables, or a making cake; or they may be used for lining cake tins, requiring no further greasing.
When cooking kippers, lay the soft side downwards on a roasting tin and bake for ten minutes. No juices are detected in this way.

Finally, a certain amount of salt in the diet provokes thirst; which is all to the good, as it is essential that every child, as also every infant, should have plenty of water between meals.

Meat is refuscă dy my small son, but he will take sausages and ples, also bacon. Is it safe to pive there in place of fresh meat?"
No, made-up dishes and foods con- taling highly-seasoned meat pro not suitable for children. Moreover, I' Icel that it is a big mistake to give in to faddiness of this nature, for your son has no real'shtipathy to meat as ment if he can enjoy it in sausages and pics.
Refuse to give in to this fnd on his part but see, of course, that the ment offered to him is nicely cooked and daintily served, also that it is of good quality and free "from" tendon and gristie, for this will easily put off a child with a finleky appetite.".
Sucks the Blanket
Baby, aped nine months, has the bad habit of sucking the corner of her blanket and I constantly have to pick scraps of fluß off her tongue, I'am sure that she swallows a lot.
THE wool-sucking habit is very com-
mon among bibles and paycholo gists have various explanations for this. I agree that the particles of wool may easily cause internal irritation and would suggest your making covers in unbleached calico.
The blankets can be slipped into these before they are tucked in: they are like very large pillowalips with ni opening at the foot-end. This will prevent any contact with wool as for as blankets are concerned.

Some leaves, for instance, ard poisonous and eating them might lead to a serious liness. I suggest that ho should not wander in the garden by himself until he has learnt more sense, Let him have his toys in a play-pen or in a summer-house with a gate if you are not able to be out with him.
See also that the toys are sufficiently large not to go into his mouth and, if painted, they should be painted with a type of inchippable paint which cannot be sucked ox.

First Aid For Furniture
IF your upholstery is of fabric, such as damask, tapestry, or repp, much of the dirt in it will be loose, and can be removed by beating and brushing. Take the furniture out of doors If possible, and then first bent it vigorously with a cane or carpet- beater, and afterwards brush it with a fairly hard brush, such as a new cheap nallbrush. You'll be prised how the clouds will fty.

When you cannot take the furni fure vat of doors, try covering your suite with damp dust-sheets-they must be quite "wet. Best through these sheets, and they will collect the rising dust and keep it from im- pregnating the air of your rooms.
Clean up the upholstery with bran Spread a dust-sheet under the furni- ture to catch any spillings. Heat plenty of bras in a pan in the oven, stirring with a stick so, that it will not burn. Then rub handful after handful into the upholstery, taking a new lot of bran as the old gets Bolled. Afterwards brush thorough- ly.
To clean a plush sulte,, 'take a bowl of water to which a good hand- ful of common salt has been added. Wring out a cotton cloth and cover the seats with this, and beat gently. Then rub over the surface ́ ́with u clean cloth rinsed in clean water.
For cleaning leather upholstery; you can use ordinary shoe cream or make up the following refresher:- Mix one gll of linseed oil, a half- gill of methylated: spirits, and the same quantity of vinegar, in a quart bottle; shake well, and it is ready to use. Always give the bottle shake-up before using... Apply" with a soft cloth and polish with a dry duster. This is also a useful French polish reviver.
