I am not one of tiiose people who believe In sticking steadfastly to Ironclad Iron-clad rules .for children no matter r what the josult of those rules may be. f Every child La different and every ehlld's constitution neeils u variation, from general rules for the bringing! up of children, but I do believe that when a child Is watched and rgu-j lotions for it adopted they should be kept rigorously. My own Patricia, who is now three; and one-half years oid, has departed in many ways iroin the i ules latu down hy some 01 the famous Specialists lor feeding, dressing and caring for a child, but i have kept her straight OH her schedules once i adopted thtui. SUED i if l i N 1 OODS. Feeding, to my mind, is by far the j most important thing In the raising of a child. Many mothers make the ter-rWuB ter-rWuB rtble mistake of giving the baby thi.iKs iaa ( It ought not to have, justifying them- I Helves by saying "11 doesn 1 hurl i'"- ,1 haby." Of course this is wrong, for the wrong food given R baby may wear tlj on its stomach until It finally breaks down later In life. tfflH Again there are certain things that fwM a baby must have, although that cer- LjHJ tain food thai seem, bad for It, Pa- Iwfr tticla, for instance, refused io eat eggs and when we Insisted on feeding them to her, broke out with a rash.
