must therefore use 16 ounces from
two bottles of milk; this she will mix together and from this mixture
she will take the 18 ounces wanted. Whatever milk is left over may be
used for ordinary table purposes.

EASY BOTTLE-FEEDING METHOD

The following formulas and instructions for bottle-feeding are taken
from the Rules for the Care of Infants and Young Children which are used
by Dr. Kerley at the out-patient department of the Babies' Hospital and
give the simplest and easiest means of bottle-feeding:

BOTTLE-FEEDING.--The bottle should be thoroughly cleansed with
borax and hot water (one teaspoonful of borax to a pint of
water) and boil before using. The nipple should be turned
inside out, scrubbed with a brush, using hot borax water. The
brush should be used for no other purpose. The bottle and
nipple should rest in plain boiled water until wanted. Never
use grocery milk. Use only bottled milk which is delivered
every morning. From May 1st to October 1st the milk should be
boiled five minutes immediately after receiving. Children of
the same age vary greatly as to the strength and amount of food
required. A mixture, when prepared, should be put in a covered
glass fruit-jar and kept on the ice. For the average baby the
following mixture will be found useful:

"For a child under six weeks of age: Nine ounces of milk,
twenty-seven ounces of barley-water, four teaspoonfuls of
granulated sugar. Feed from two to three ounces at two and
one-quarter hour intervals, nine feedings in twenty-four hours.

"Sixth to the twelfth week: Twelve ounces milk, twenty-four
ounces barley-water, five teaspoonfuls sugar. Feed from three
to four ounces at each feeding.

"Third to the sixth month: Eighteen ounces of milk, thirty
ounces of barley-water, six teaspoonfuls of sugar. Feed four to
six ounces at three-hour intervals, seven feedings in
twenty-four hours.

"Sixth to the ninth month: Twenty-four ounces milk, twenty-four
ounces barley-water, six teaspoonfuls granulated sugar. Feed
six to eight ounces at three-hour intervals, six feedings in
twenty-four hours.

"Ninth to twelfth month: Thirty-eight ounces milk, twelve
ounces barley-water, six teaspoonfuls of granulated sugar. Feed
seven to nine ounces at three and one-half hour intervals, five
feedings in twenty-four ho
