Office second floor Natlonal Bank Building. Dr. H. W. Wiley to Investigate Baby Foods. The news that the Bureau of Food and Drug Inspection of the Depart ment of Agriculture Is about to begin a comprehensive inspection of baby foods will interest mothers every where. In fact, the inspections Is said to be directly due to inquiries sent to Dr. H. W. Wiley by mothers whose babies Rad not thrived oq certain of these preparations. The Baby Food Campaign. It is said that a poison squad may be organized on the plan of the adult squads that have been employed to test canned goods and other food products. This is probably only a rumor, for the babies could not give their consent to become the subjects of such tests, and surely no parent would be willing, even if Dr. Wiley was inclined to risk results to the in fant subjects of his experiments. The “Pure Food Department” as the bureau is popularly termed, will no doubt find a way to make their investigations thorough and con clusive,. and those baby foods that emerge, stamped with the approval of the board will enjoy increased prestige and prosperity. An Expensive Experiment. rnfortunately all work of this sort entails great expense to all concerns engaged in the manufacture of baby foods. Those whose preparations are of high grade suffering as much as the firms producing unworthy or deleterious foods, for, until the com- pletion of the investigation, all these foods are more or less under sus picion. Starch Indigestible. It is said that no child under two- and-one-half years of age, is able to digest starch, hence this ingredient is to be tabooed in all preparations labeled “Baby Food.” Whatever the requirements of Dr. Wiley’s department may be, people will no doubt feel much safer in using these foods after they are stamped with the endorsement of the depart ment. In baby foods, about all others. It is essential to avoid the use of any doubtful ingredients, since an in fant’s digestion is a dangerous sub ject for experiment, as too many peo ple know to their sorrow. The Ideal Form of Nourishment. The ideal nourishment for a baby is the one that Nature provides, when the mother is thoroughly strong and well and able to devote herself ex clusively to the care of her child, but as from the conditions of modern life, an increasing number of women are obliged to bring their children up on artificial food, the subject of securing the best substitute for perfect moth er’s milk is one of wide spread and vital interest. Tow’s milk properly diluted, if it can be obtained perfectly fresh, and from a dairy where the most rigid precautions against infection, are maintained, is recognized as the best substitute for the natural food. It is because of the uncertainty that most people feel about, the purity of the milk supply that the prepared foods have become popular. Uniformity of Diet. Another reason has been the uni formity of diet thus secured. All re cognized authorities agree that uni formity of diet and surroundings are prime necessities for the child's prop er growth and development. It Is an open secret known to most physicians and trained nurses as well as to many experienced mothers that few prepa rations labeled “Baby Food” are as satisfactory in results as the long known and well tested condensed milks of the Borden To. It Is said that explorers find cans of the “Eagle Brand’’ far toward the pole, as well as in the equatorial zone in “Darkest Africa” and no matter how long it has been cached it is always in per fect condition when opened. For Traveling Purposes. The baby that gets his nourish ment from a dilution of this sweeten ed absolutely pure milk, or from the unsweetened form of the same con densation known as “Peerless” can be taken anywhere without interfer ence with his diet, if only care is taken to use a selected bottled water in making the dilutions or a boiled water properly cooled where that is preferred. Too often the trip to the country that helps the older children in every way, acts in the opposite direction with the baby, and the cause, as most people know, is usu ally some radical change in diet or surroundings. Pamphlets Giving Information. Any person can obtain pamphlets giving full and explicit directions for the care and feeding of babies and young children. These are distribut- ed by many different agencies inter ested commercially or philanthropi- cally in this particular field. Upon tin- chief points all authorities agree and these requisites are perfect clean liness of surroundings, regularity— like clock work—in the time of feed ing. bathing, etc., and uniform, and unvarying excellence of the food sup plied. Regular formulas for the dilu tion of the milk according to the age are given, but as babies of the same age differ in size and general de velopment these formulas must be modified to suit individual needs. A Physician’s Advice. The advice of the family physician should be had at once if the child does not seem to be thriving after a normal, happy fashion. No matter how experienced and intelligent the mother may be, the advice of the trained medical man is valuable and necessary to avoid complications that may threaten the baby’s existence. Sometimes more phosphates are re quired than the milk contains and in such cases the dilutions are usually made with barely water. Eleanor Frances. Every Month ,J writes Mrs. E. Fournier of Lake Charles, La., “I 3 used to suffer from headache, backache, side ache, j pressing-down pains, and could hardly walk. At I last I took Cardui, and now I feel good all the time.
