A glance at the newest revision of "Infant Care," a standard text from the gov- tr : Cas-tori- good-tasti- ernment's Children's Bureau, shows the major changes in handling Baby nowadays. The bureau used to advise that Baby be fed every three hours like a machine.

Even that old problem has a new of thumb-suckilook.
