Sloan Kritser, and grand-daugliters of Mr. and Mrs. K. 15. Masterson.Among the most beautiful chil-4*iiome bureau service of the Cornelldren in Amarillo and vicinity are the twin babies of Mr. and Mrs. Sloan Kritser. The twins are pictures of perfect, healthy babyhood. Mrs. Kritser is feeding her babies by a method adopted by the Home Bureau Extension Service of the Cornell university.Miss Nancy E. Kritser, a sister of Mr. Kritser and Mias Hattie Kritser and who is connected with the bureau, sent the schedule and formula of feeding to Mrs. Kritser who has followed it carefully and exactly. Mrs. Kritser has been so successful with it that other mothers also are feeding their babies according to this method.The Globe is printing the schedule for the first year. If there are mothers sufficiently interested to make the request, The Globe will will print the schedule for the second year.This plan of feeding babies is not in the experimental stage. It is successful. Many of the practice babies under care and observation at theuniversity are poor, little bits of humanity from the crowded districts of New York City.

Weight for infant {during first year: Average weight| at birth, seven pounds; average ini j tial loss, 10 ounces or about one-tenth of the weight at birth; birth I weight regained usually by the fourteenth day; weight is doubled at the end of the fifth month: trebled at the end of the first year; average weekly gain during the first five months should approximate ■ ounces, during the remainder of first year \ ounces; average month.y gain during the second year, 3 ounces.MilkUse 1.5 to 2e ounces of milk for each pound of baby.

After 9 months, decrease diluent nn-ily respond to the modern plan ofq feeding and develop into normal, healthy and beautiful children.The bulletin sent to Mrs. Kritser by Nancy Kritser is as follows:We are asked many times what wo have fed our practice house babies to make them so healthy, vigorous and pink-cheeked.

Two level t ablespoons j of cane augar weigh about 1 ounce;(three level tablespoons of milk sugar j weigh about 1 ounce; four level j tablespoons of malt sugar weight j about 1 ounce. When the Jia'oy is old enough to need more than this amount because of increased weight, foods other than sugar should be given, such as cereal, j If too mnch sugar is given, the j stools may be frequent anrl watery: l if too little sugar is given the stools j may show constipation.Any sugar may be used, although l the least desirable one is cane sugar j beeausq of its sweetness. If the baby j Is constipated milk sugar is often | more laxative than other sugars. In I general a pure dextrimaltose without I laxatives or other added salt is best j borne by most babies.I lt;*d Fiver Oil lt;od liver oil feeding may be begun j when baby is one month old. Begin | by putting one drop iu each bottle and increase, gradually adding on* more drop to each bottle every second day until the baby is getting 13 to 25 drops in each bbttle.How To Mix the Feedings Mix miik, diluent and sugar for the entire day’s feeding and bring this mixture quickly to the boiling point in an open kettle, stirring constantly; let boil up in this way three times and then remove from the I heat. It is better to have on hand I bottles enough for ail feedings and j to put into each of the sterilized1 bottles the required amount of the . freshly mixed food. Add cod liver | oil to each bottle; then cork each j bottle with clean, sterile cork and j put away in a cold place. Whenready to use bring bottle to be used to body temperature before feeding it to the baby.Note: If milk is cooked on anoil sLove which beats up more slowly, it. may be best :o boil up but once.Orange Juice Orangd juice must be given to all artificially fed babies once a day between feedings, if bast results are desired. Begin about the third week with, three drops of orange juice twice a day diluted with 3 drops of boiled water. Increase this one or two drops a day. During the second month. M; ounce (I tablesppon-ful) a day will be enough. After this increase to one ounce (2 table-spoonfulst a day and continue increasing until the child receives the juice of a whole orange. Dilute the juice with 4 to 1 time its amount of water. A slight addition of sugar will not injure the baby and may make the orange juice more acceptable. A whole medium sized orange will contain about four tablespoons of juice.Prune JuiceIf the baby is constipated, two to four tablespoons of prune juice, strained prune pulp or strained apple sauce may be given after the sixth or seventh month.When To Give Other Foods After the fourth month, give two to four ounces of vegetable soup. After the fourth month, give 1 to2 tablespoonfuls strained cereal, oatmeal, farina, or wheatena at 10 j o’clock a. ni. feeding.After the first teeth have appeared, give a hard cracker, or zwfe- ; back after the 2 o’clock bottle.After the ninth month, give up to j 2-3 cup of strained vegetable soup, j with a few toaster bread crumbs ; added. This may be giveniut the 2 o’clock feeding.After 1 year, give Ua soft cooked egg, every other day. Begin with teaspoonful of egg and increase gradually. The egg should be carefully cooked to keep it soft and yet to cook it long enough to make it opaque. Babies may be made sensitive to egg protein if too much is fed at first or if it is fed raw.* * *rPhilharmonic t'luh Entertains -It[the j durii j Harr Mr*.i L.
