Feeding Babie*.
No baby is able to digest starch
before it is live mouths old. This
is a fact well kiiowu to all physi
ologists and to ail physicians who
make a specialty of children in
a recent address before the Roy
al College of Physicians in Lon
don Dr. S. O Moore, health offl
cer of Uuddersfield, said: "Sure
ly It is not too much to ask that
an Infant be not slowly starved
to death by having administered
to it a substance which does not
nourish it The rniud reels be
fore a contemplation of the cum
ber of infants who have been
slowly done to death In IbLs hor
rible fashion daring the past fifty
years."
Too few mothers know that
bread, potatoes, rice, cornstarch
and such things cannot be dJ
gested by a baby's stomach
Mother's milk is the only safp
food for tnfants. If It be neces
sary to resort to artificial feed
ing, then carefully sterilized cow's
or goat's milk can be used, but
never anything that contains
starch.
The Other Side
of the Wall
And Different Kinds
of Love
By CLARISSA MACKIE
A farmer boy not out of his teeas
was taking the horses to water. The
setting sun threw their shadows so far
that their bodies were lost In the dis
tances while (he legs looked like tele
graph poles. Leaning on a fence in
closing & yard about a cottage beside
the road was a young glrL Her feet
were on the bottom rail, her head and
shoulders being above the top one.
"You're looking mighty pretty to
night," said the young fellow.
The girl snickered.
"The setting sun shining on that hair
of yours makes It look yellow enough
to be pure gold."
"That must be what you're looking
for."
"What?"
"Gold. When you get a girl you can
be sure she'll be the daughter of some
rich farmer."
"Your dad Isn't a rich farmer." re
plied the young man softly.
"H'm. 1 wasn't talking about my
self."
"Whom were you talking about?"
"Well, there's Lizzie Blake."
There was no reply to this for the
moment. He seemed to be thinking.
"1 thought." he said presently, "that
you and Lizzie were thicker than two
peas In a pod."
"Well, what has that to do with It?"
"Why. 1 didn't think you would be
jealous of her."
"Jealous? Who's Jealous?"
"Oh, you're not, eh? Maybe you
don't care who I keep company with
"Of course I don't."
"Then I reckon I'll keep company
with Lizzie."
"You can Just do that as long and
as soon as you want to; 1 don't care."
The young man gave a tug at the
halters of the horses and moved on a
few steps, when he stopped, turned
and looked back at the pretty figure of
the sixteen-year-old girl gilded by the
last rays of the setting sun.
"Did you mean that?" he asked.
"Yes. I did." was the reply in a tone
so bitter that It would have said plain
ly to any one except the person to
whom It was addressed that she did
I not '
I His only reply was another yank at
the baiters, and, turning again, be led
j tbo horses to tbe burn, led tbeiu, made
' tbelr beds and left them for tbe night
I As fur tbe girl, sin.- went Into tbe
| house and thnt night when she went
to bed she cried herself to sleep,
j These two bad been brought up side
! by aide and bad arrived at tbe mating
I age. A few days before tbe young
| man bad kissed another girl on finding
a red ear at a husking. And so what
] was about to happen did not happen
Fate makes many sudden turns.

"If I were a man," said Amelia Fed
j dlford Impressively, "1 would be
1 tempted to use strong language!"
"Don't mind me, Aunt Amelia." grin
I ned her nephew. "Don't let your sex
I bar you from any of the privileges of
the'*—
| "Fiddlesticks!" snapped Amelia, quite
! restored to good bnmor. "Tom, what
| would you do about Donald Brown's
chickens?"
"Catch 'em and eat 'em." said the
! practical Tom. "If tbey come into
i your garden and eat your lettuce and
, scratch up your corn eat 'em. They're
j fattened on your food, so to speak."
I "1 wouldn't do that," Bald Amelia
I thoughtfully, "but I was wondering If
I you wouldn't go over and speak to
Donald about it"
"Certainly," agreed Tom. "And Is
old Brown's pretty niece stopping there
now?"
"Linda, you mean?"
"Yes: pretty Linda Brown." said Tom
i sentimentally.
"No."
j "Then I won't go—er—yes, I wllL
j Aunt Amelia, shall I tell Mr. Brown
that you, president of the Woman's
! Suffrage society of Blankton and a
stern believer that woman Is the equal
j of man. have sent me. a mere
man, over to growl at him for permit
j ting bis chickens to Invade tbe sacred
I precincts of your garden?"
■ "Tell him anything you please," sigh
| ed Amelia wearily.
| Tom stepped through the open win
i dow and walked down a box bordered
| path to the high brick wall that sep
arated the two places and provided
tangible evidence that the old friend
i ship between the Browns and the Ped
! ill fords was no more.
I And it had all been on nccount of
marauding chickens on tbe one band
and Amelia's pet ram on tbe other side
of tbe fence.
j Tom knew a weak place In the wall
i and kicked out a brick to gain a foot
1 hold. The brick assailed Donald
i Brown upon his rhenmatic foot as he
hobbled among his old fashioned flow
i er9
Mr. Brown did not call for a substi
tute. He roared for himself.
He greeted Tom's handsome face
over the wall with a dark frown.
"You yemg rascal! What do yon
mean by throwing bricks at me?" be
growled.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Brown, bat it was an
accident. I didn't know you were
there." Tom swung himself around
| balanced for a moment and dropped a
jjr- ' ~~
pair of substantial feet Into t£e glass
of a cold frame.
Donald Brown danced>about excited
ly and rowed vengeance upon tlie Ped
dlfords and all their tribe.
Tom stepped out of the ruin he had
created and shook a reproving finger
under the handsome nose of the irate
| gentleman.
| "Be a sport, Mr. Brown," he remon
strated.
"What do you want here?" demanded
Donald Brown.
"1 came to call upon Miss Linda."
"Linda—pooh! She Isn't here, slrf
"Then I came to complain about the
i chickens. Aunt Amelia's garden Is
ruined."
"Humph!" snorted Mr. Brown.
"Being unmarried. It's rather hard
on Aunt Amelia." went on the young
man gently. "If she bad a husband to
protect her rights"—
"Her own fault!" put In Mr. Brown
gruffly.
| Tom's eyes danced, no! There was
j an old romance here after all.
"She may have been hasty," agreed
Tom.
"You mean she regrets—er—that she
remained single?" demanded the other
eagerly.
"Oh, no. I mean she regrets that she
has-had to speak to you about the
chickens," explained Tom.
"Oh!"
What a world of disappointment was
expressed In the ejaculation! Tom
winced and discovered that he was
actually feeling sorry for Donald
Brown and Aunt Amelia. "Why hadn't
they over married?" he wondered. To
get her they would make a spirited
pair; apart they nagged at each other
"Both unhappy uud don't know the reu
sou why," he decided wisely.
"You know, a woman won't admit
she hasn't made a happy choice when
she decide to remain a spinster," ex
plained Tom.
| "Ah!" Mr. Brown sniffed a little and
wiped his eyes with a spotless hand
kerchief.
"Still, it's never too late for a worn
an to change her mind on any subject.'
went on Tom.
"You might put it up to Amelia,
i then," said Donuld Brown grimly. "If
she'll change her mind I'll change
mine."
"You mean it?"
"Certainly."
'Tut it there, Uncle Don!" yelled
Tom. pumplug Mr. Brown's hand up
and down.
"I'lease ciout oe quite so iwi**iuuu3,
young man." said Mr. Brown. "My
niece hasn't exhibited any signs of In
terest In you—yet."
"Liuda? Ob. she'll wait," said Tow
airily, for bis mind was filled wltb
visions of restoring Aunt Amelia totbe
arms of Donald Brown. Of course
there had been an old romance, and
this couple, soured by time and loneli
ness, only waited a diplomatic baud to
Join theirs iu betrothal.
"Linda and I'll be the bridesmaid
and best uian," thought Tom as be re
treated toward the wall.
"So you're going to put the question
to Amelia'/" asked Donald.
"If you say so?"
"Of course. Tell her I'm sorry It
happened and that I'll take all the re
sponsibility. I'm killing off mv chick
ens anyway. Only got a dozen left,
and they're nailed up tight as can be
In the poultry yard."
"I'll tell her." promised Tom as he
vanished over the wall.
Amelia Peddiford was sitting In ber
rose arbor knitting a sbawl.
"Aunt Amelia." said Tom Impres
sively. "I've talked with Mr. Brown,
and he—er—says—er—that if you'll for
get and foregive. why, he will take all
the responsibility and blame for the
trouble."
Aunt Amelia stared. "Of course be
was to blame," she said mildly. "lie
never should have kept ch^kens any
way. They ate up his own flowers
and vegetables and"—
"And he wants to marry you. Aunt
Amelia!" Tom confessed this hurried
ly. lie wanted the interview over.
Had not I.lmla Brown Just flashed past
the house In her uncle's runabout?
"Donald-Brown—wants— to —marry
—me?" shrieked Aunt Amelia wrath
fully. "The old bigamist!"
"Bigamist?" gasped Tom.
"Of course! Didn't you know he
was married? Married my old school
friend. Lizzie Blake. Poor Lizzie's
weak minded and been in the asylum
for a dozen years. Marry me?"
"Perhaps be didn't mean that." ad
mitted the wretched youth. "Let me
tell you what he said, and you may
understand." »
So painstakingly word for word he
repeated what had been said between
the two men on the other side of the
wall, and when he had finished Annf
Amelia was laughing mirthfully, and
Donald Brawn, who had slipped Into
the yard and also heard, laughed sym
pathetically.
"I proposed to Miss Amelia to re
move the brick wall at my own ex
pense." explained Mr. Rrown. "and I
was asking you to assure her that I
was ready to keep my promise: also
that I was eating up my chickens as
fast as possible, and there would lie no
further annoyance from that source.
And. Amelia. If you can wait until tlie
other twelve chickens are disposed

"Save them, Donald." Interposed
Aunt Amelia. "You may need them
for Linda's weddlug feust"
"And Tom's?"
"It looks that way now."
Their eyes folhrwed Tom's manly
form as he scaled the wall and dlsap
peared from view.
He was going to Linda—and happi
ness.
The two friends In the rose arbor
smiled at each other, secure In the
happiness that the healing of old dif
ferences brings about.
