INFANT FEEDING.
The very best food that the infant
can have is mother’s milk and when
that cannot be supplied a real prob
lem is presented if you are going to
try to give the infant a real substi
tute for it so that the child will thrive
and not depart from- the normal by
being over-fat and develop rickets or
on the other hand be too poorly fed
and be a victim of every disease that
comes along. Every baby is a single
and independent problem unto itself
and there is no rule that can be estab
lished that you can follow without
making certain changes and allow
ances. The food must be made to tit
the child. Because a baby gets fat on
a certain food does not prove that it is
the best to feed it that kind because
sSft fat may cover up a very poor re
sistance to disease. It is far better to
have a child slightly under average
weight than that muchc over-weight
because they are in better shape to
stand disease and furthermore will
not contract disease nearly as quickly.
The normal constituents of mother’s
milk are water, sugar, fat, proteids
and salt in the proper proportions and
these proportions are usually perfect
ly adapted to the needs of each par
ticular child, very seldom that we find
the milk of a mother that does not
agree with her own child.
By means of tne water in the milk
it is kept in a state of fluidity that en
ables it to be easily digested and also
assists in the elimination of waste
matter. The sugar makes heat and
also mt. The proteids go to build up
the cells of the tissues of the body,
the blood and some of the other or
gans. The salts are particularly use
ful for the growth of the bones. The
fat is useful in the production of heat
and for the growth of the bones and
the body tissues generally.
^fhe great difficulty in the artificial
feeding of infants is Rotting the pro-'
portions of those elements correct for
the individual- child. To begin with
we have to use cows’ milk as a substi
tute and even that differs in some re
spects from mother’s milk and these
differences have to bo overcome by ad
ding to or subtracting from it some of
these elements. Cow’s milk contains
the same elements but in different pro
portions. In the first place it contains
too much proteid and therefore has to
be diluted, it is too low in sugar, so
milk sugar is added and the fat has
to bo regulated by taking either whole,
toji milk or by adding cream to bring
the fat up to the proper strength. This
whole process has to be carried on ac
cording to the progress of the child,
therefore it requires close attention to
the weight of the child and that is the
best way to know if a child is doing
well.
The difficulty attending bottle feed
ing is the most tolling argument in
favor of mothers nursing their babies
and there are plenty of statistics to
show that the mortality among bot
tle fed babies is fully three times as
great as among breast fed. For the
very simple reason that it is a great
deal of trouble to the mother to at
tend to all the little details of prepar
ing the food with the result that it is
not always properly done and the baby
goes on using an improper formula
and does not thrive as it should. In
some instances it is because the moth
er does not know how to properly
do it and the baby goes on using an
improper formula and does not thrive
as it should. In some instances it is
because the mother does not know
how to properly prepare the food from
cows’ milk and so uses one of the
ready prepared foods because some
neighbor’s baby has done well (?)
and for that reason she uses it, too.
What is good for one baby is not al
ways good for another. We do not
grant that because a child is fat that
the food has agreed with it and that ii
has done well on the prepared food for
the reason that practically all of the
prepared foods are prepared with
cane sugar in excess of the amount re
quired bv a baby (that is why they
have to he diluted to such an extent) j
which makes them fat but that fat is I
not at all solid and is of no use to the
child when he pets a bad cold or pneu
monia or some one of the intestinal
diseases that babies so often have. In
fact it only requires a few days of in
testinal indigestion in a baby fed on
one of the prepared foods to see that
he will lose weight very rapidly.

BIG TRIBUTE
Upon the occasion of the fiftieth!
inniversary of the purchase of Alas
<a—March 30, 1917—Secretary of the
Interior Franklin K. Lane gave out
he following memorandum to the
Dress of the nation:
“Fifty years ago today,” said Sec
•etary Lane last uight, “Alaska he
•ame a part of the United States.
“We are only beginning to realize!
low tremendous the service was that
William H. Seward performed when :
ie secured for us that great source of
■vealth. When Seward was secretary
>f state few men realized the great
lotential value of Alaska. Popular -
mpression held it a snow-bound wil- I
lerness, a land of ice and polar bears. 1
Seward felt that the time would come
vhen the wealth of Alaska would as
tound the world. His judgment today
s vindicated.
"Opposition to the taking of Alas
ka was as blind as it was virulent.
But after 50 years, actual financial
statements show us, and prove con
■lusively, that to have neglected that
ipportunity would have been a colos
sal blunder, a blunder future genera
ions could never forgive,
“A moral obligation was one of the
primary reasons that led to the pur
chase of Alaska. Russia had given 1
is the passive support of two fleets j
>f warships during our civil war, and
saved us from serious indignities that
chreatened from abroad. Russia need
ed money. We, of course, could not
give it to her outright but we could
et her have it and take in exchange
ler barren North American provinces.
In the face of a storm of protest the
treaty was signed and fully ratified;
the Russian ambassador collected $7,
200,000 from Uncle Sam; and Alaska I
edged her way into a protesting and
inhospitable democracy.
“Six hundred thousand square i
niles of territory, three hundred and .
■ighty-four million acres of land, I
vere bought by our government in
1876 for a little over seven million
lollars. That little flier in real es
ate, at two cents an acre, has bought
something more than three-quarters I
>f a billion dollars into the channels,
if American trade during the past
lalf century. And the profits are just
joginning to come in. A scant 65,000
jeople are living in that vast coun
ty, one-fifth as large as the United ,
States. One hundred million dollars ,
iut of that three quarters of a bil
ion formed their contribution for
1016. What it will lie in ‘2016 no man
■tin predict.
“The people who are going to Alas
ca in these days are men with fami
ies, people who are going to stay and
jut their children in Alaskan schools, i
■vai'in them with Alaskan coal, feed
them with Alaskan meat and vegeta
jles, pay their hills with Alaskan
fold. Normal industry is forcing the
frontier. Alaskans have confidence in
the legitimate resources of their
great empire. They are convinced
that Alaska's future will he an im
30si ng one.
"Inaccuracy and distortion of facts j
;aused the faulty impressions that ex
isted in the past; hut the handful of
far-sighted patriots who have poured ^
their millions into American banks
end business, the men who have lived
the life and who know, are fast in
forming the world. Few in number,
as were the frontiersmen who opened
up the forests of New York and
Ohio, but as determined in spirit and
resolute in purpose as were those ear
ly explorers, the sturdy pioneers of
Alaska have opened up new fields of
enterprise, and are today compelling
attention.
“Complaints are heard throughout
the states that meat in Alaska is
scarce and high in price. Let those
who so complain take comfort in the
thought that soon Alaskan ' reindeer
meat will find its way to metropolitan
tables, and when it does our staple
beefs and muttons will find a compet
itor quite worthy of their steel.
"It is estimated that one hundred]

in<l fifty billion tons of coal lie in
:he virgin coal fields of Alaska. This
•oal is gradually appearing in the
market. Kxperts say some of the
Sest coal in the world streaks the gi
int mountains of Alaska. With these
mines opened, with the new govern
ment railroad in active operation, the
development of great and rich tracts,
both mineral and agricultural, will
follow inevitably.
“The great gold fields of the inter
ior never have been worked adequate
ly. Extended the advantages of rail
road transportation, mine operators
will soon be able to increase their
output materially. Gold worth $10,
000,000 is mined each year in Alaska
under present conditions. The value
of the precious metal taken from
Alaskan mines since the early eight
ies has amounted to more than two
hundred and eighty-five millions. A
paltry seven million and a few odd
thousands was grudged for the entire
territory only 50 years ago.
“Copper mined last year brought
between thirty-five and forty million
dollars; and still comparatively little
has” been taken out. Broad fields re
main untouched.
“When Russia sold Alaska in 1807
she threw in the surrounding seas foi
good measure. Since then greaf
masses of fish caught in Alaskan wat
ers have brought our people two hun
dred and thirty million dollars. Each
year sees the establishment of new
centers and larger canneries. Fur
hearing animals, too, have increased
our mighty dividend by sixty-five mil
lion dollars.
“Alaska’s period of trial is over.
She has been weighed in the balance
and found magnificently worthy.”
