Too often the mother says that she has •not time. Yet that same mother in later yealrs will bewail the fact that 'her child will never sit down quietly ,and read a book. The first 7 years of a child's life are the formative ones, and if a taste for reading is formed then it will stay with them the rest of their lives. The average mother is a busy per - ,son and sometimes cannot see where she can find time to read to her child - 'ren, Yet you can read quite a bit for a. small child in 10 minutes and .surety there is no mother so busy Lthat she cannot find an occasional 10 'minutes to read. Most small children love poetry. Anything that has rhythm, appeals to 'then. As a matter of fact most of them will like poetry better then than they ever will in their lives a- gain. They enjoy having things read to them that they cannot wholly under- stand. Try them with "Alice, in Wonderland." They will love it and so will you, because you will find so much in it that you missed as a child. They will enjoy the whimsical none - sense of the -rhymes running through ';t. Have them learn, ' 'You are old Father William," the • young man said, "And your hair has became very white; And yet you incessantly stand on your head— Do` you thinks at your age it is right?" Among the moderns you cannot do better than read them A. A. Milne's books. Winnie the Pooh, will be a family favorite. If you -cannot, buy these hooks get them from your lib- rary. Tell or read to your children the fairy stories and folk -tales that you heard as a child. Give them lovely memories of their childhood, and a foundation for their reading. One who likes to read, need never lack for good company. The Care of the Infant .A young mother with her • first baby has asked me to write about ;the .babies, and T am glad to do so. 1VIost mothers with their first babies are in a continual state of turmoil, between inexperience and over -anx- iety: If the poor child' rolls its eyes, Nye immediately think ;of tales :we 'have heard of babies 'having convul- :sions, When they sneeze we are sure to think they must be catching cold, It takes time and experience to realize that the baby has no other method of clearing its hose out but by sneezing, However .after we have. raised one child, most of us feel that , we have learned enough to bring up an orphan asylum, A second child is far more 'fun than as first as we have lost that deadly terror and can take more enjoyment out of it, The chief requirements bf an in - fent, are sleep, fresh . air and food. Sleep the child usually manages for itself. Do not keep the house too quiet, as a .child soon becomes ae- oustomed to sleeping with a bit of noise. All the joy is taken out of life when you daren't breathe because the baby is asleep. It is a perfect nuisance and very unnecessary. The first few months the baby will sleep most of the time, rt is perfectly natural to cry a little for exercise, WINOJi AM di' I? VANCEm"1'1ME$ and it will usually pick a regular tune each day to be fussy. Fresh Air end Stan Fresh air and sun even the small child should have, If the weather does not permit to sleep out -side, have the window open. Wrap your baby up well and keep it out of drafts but be sure that it has fresh air 'even in cold weather, All babies should have sun to pro- vide them with Vitamin D, and to scare away the Rickets, it'' is easier said than done in these .cold winters of ours, Cod-liver oil is a good sub- stitute. The modern baby starts to take cod-liver oil when it is three weeks old. Give it a few drops each day, This will give your baby good teeth as well as prevent rickets. Vood. . There is no question that the breast-fed baby has the best chance. There are times when this is int - possible and then a child should be fed Ander a .doctor's direction. Those mothers who can take their babies to a • clinic for constant supervision are the most fortunate, Cow's milk is best substitute for mother's milk but even the condensed milk babies will be healthy if orange or tomato juice, and cod-liver oil are added to their diet. This will regu- late their bowels usually, but if not milk of magnesia is given in the first feeding, Regularity is ane of the most important things. :Rabies are fed at either 3 or 4 hour intervals to the rninute. Waken a baby in the day -time to feed it, as if you do not its whole routine will be upset. Babies require more water than they get in their food. Keep water boiled in readiness, Put some of this boiled water in a bottle and heat it slightly. They will enjoy a drink between each feeding, but do not give it to them before the • are fed a it would fill uo their little stomnehs,, Keep a Baby Quiet Do not excite a small baby talking at it too hard or ,tickling it, " Do- not; try to force its attention but let it come along slowly' and neurally. Nev,, er underany circumstances waken your baby to show- ,it to 'your friends,, The quieter a child is kept and the less excitement it has, the better it health will be, dvance-Times "BUY AT=HOME" Campa COMMUNITY BUYING DIRECTORY AND BUSINESS GUIDE The Merchants and Business men represented below are co-operating in an effort to prove to the residents of the town and surrounding community that val- ues equal to any of the larger towns or cities may be procured in local stores.

Man is a predatory animal who arrived through the ages by de- feating his neighbor in the race for the good things of life. The understanding of selfishness and its disastrous effects came slow- ly with civilization, and even up to the present time is not en- tirely universally recognized, but in business today it is admitted that the one looking for self alone is doomed. Your community today points with pride to its success, and when asked the rea- son you remark that it is due to the unselfish spirit of its mer- chants and residents, one looking after the other's interests. The more prosperous your merchants are the more enriched you be- come—your dollars : spent among them reverts back to you con- tinuously. It enhances real estate and is the one thing that creates the desire in others to locate among you. Community Co-operation is good. It, is necessary. Don't play alone. Elim- inate selfishness from your community by co-operating with your merchants and all business interests. Buy in Wingham and keep yourself big in the thought that it is your community and you are a factor in making it what it is. Nnf Sed.
