BOTH the quality and the quantity of
mother' milk Is arteclcd greatly by
foods and various other circumstances. It
Important that this fact should be better
understood, as breast-fed Infants often
.suffer seriously because of deterioration of
the mother's milk.
A hearty meat meal has a tendency to
lessen the secretion of milk, and a heavy
meat diet, when Ions continued, tends to
cause shrinking of the breasts.
Too long continued nursing causes deteri
oration of the milk ; the casein or protein
diminishes while th fatn and sugar re
main without changes.
Kever In the mother renders her milk
unlit food for an Infant, because the fever,
producing poisons pass Into the milk. The
child should not be put to the breast when
the mother has a temperature above normal.
Mothers should know that the use of
purgatives and other drugs d'mlnlsh the
flow of milk. Medicines taken by the
mother appear tn the milk within a short
time aftei they "are taken, and may produce
serious effects upon the delicate organisms
of the baby.
The mother should carefully avoid drugs.
neer tak'ng medicine exespt on the advice
of an experienced physician Drugs are
very rarely needed. Well-meanin,B relatives
and friends prescribe, and grandmothers

Furnace Heating (Continued)
COLD-Ain SUPrLT In a house beaten
by a furnace the temperature of the
rooms Is maintained by a constant Incom
ing current of hot air. and It Is absolutely
necessary for satlsfactor.v heating that
proper provision be made for supplying this
air to the furnace. On no account should a
hot-air furnace be used without being pro
vided with a direct supply of air from out
side the building.
In dwellings thl" may be het accom
plished by putting, an opening in the ex
ternal wall just beneath the fltt floor joist
and as far above the ground aa the eleva
tion of the building wi 1 permit. From this
epenlng. which should be covered with gal
vanized wire netting of about H-lnch mesh,
a duct or flue, should be carried to the air
pit under the' furnace. The duct may be
e'ther carried horizontally under the base
ment celling until near the furnace and then
dropped to the air pit or 11 mny be carried
down against the cellar wall and thence
Under the floor to the furnace. The portion
of the duct above the floor shou d be built
of well-seasoned matched boards or of gal
vanized Iron. The portion below the floor
should be constructed either ri stone, brick
or glazed tile, and, should be tightly ce
mented. If of brick or stone, the duct
should be covered with stone slabs, with the
edges roughly dressed ami the Joints
cemented. The air ducts shou'd not be cai
rlerl under the floor if the soil Is at all
damp or near any drain.
Besides the external air supply, it Is alsn
a good Idea to hae-fl smaller air duct lead
ing from the register In th front hall to the
base of the furnacer This duct may be ot
wood, tin or galvanized Iron, and may be
connected either with the base of the fur
nace aboe the floor or feed Into the out
side duct, but care shou'd be taken to pre.
vent the air from blowing from the outside
duct up through the Inside one. An Inside
duct will produce a better circulation of
air through the house, and on very cold
nights the outside duct may be shut off and
the air aken entirely from the front hall.
as the air from this hource. having nothing
to contaminate It. will be reasonably pure.

cold-air supply Is used, It should be taken

Up to the last reel, at least one spectator
hoped this was going to turn on Itself and
prove to be a burlesque. It had all the ear
marks of the Eurprle plJtyre, suggesting
vaguely some of Falrbanks's comic melo
dramas. But with so preternaturally seri

feasible to Vltagraph, They preferred to
turn out a conventional,. Involved, familiar
Play with the usua crooks, handsome young
heroine, braye hero, polite stuff and the
rest, This Is Just one feature of 'The
Maelstrom" that demands attention, even
respect. That Is not theBtory, the direction,
which Is able enough, nor the principal man.
It Is Dorothy Jelly. With her mobile. In
telligent beauty, tt Is hard to see why she
hasn't gotten her name In blr type before

Dear Kate
Just as 1 was a getting ready to go Up to
the Winter G.-tiden for our try out. I pot a
letter from Mrs Smith saying that Billy
had the dlpthrrla. She said. "Ponl come."
that she would let me know nil the time
how he was. Fred come to takp me up and
I told him I was not going, that I was go
ing to Billy, and he almost went crazy. He
said, "Why. Nan, don't you see you will
lose your chance If you don't show up now,
they will never give it to you again." 1
said. "I don't care, 1 am going to Billy."
He nearly cried. He said. "Nan. you have
been working two years trying to get on
Broadway, and If they had told ou six
months ago that you had n chance t go on
at the Garden. ou would a said they were
liars or you would a died for Joy. And now
you throw It all over for n kid." 1 said I
didn't care. 1 was n going tn Billy. He
talked nnd he talked and then he went
down and phoned for Will Henderson, who
come over nnd talked to me. They made
me feel that I vvas doing them a rotten
trick, cause Will wrote the music and was
going to have his name on the program,
and he said that If I didn't show up he
would lose the biggest chance he ever had
to get back decent again. S- I gave in If
they wou'd promise to get me to the train
as soon as our turn was over.
Well, we went and the dance sure did go
I came back eight times and I never saw
anybody so tickled In his life as Will to
think that he can have his name on a pro
gram again. He says he will go out to that
dope Joint in White Plains tomorrrow.
cause he believes he still has got n chance
of making good, tt does put heart into you
when you are down and out to feel that
perhaps there Is something still ahead of
you If you will only buck up.

Coat of Glove Silk
One of the latest arrivals
in sports apparel is the
sweater coat of glove
silk. This is slightly
different in modeling und
appearance from tho
usual sweater. The close
weave of the material
gives it more body, and
the same reason allows
the use of stitching as
trimming, thus bringing
to it a suggestion of tail
oring. The model shown
in today's sketch fastens
with two buttons, on the
lower of which the belt
is buttoned. The only
trimming is supplied by
the stitching in self
color. A touch of novelty
is found in the outline of
the collar, cuffs and the
pocket with its overlap
ping, stitched lab. The
little hat is of white felt.
It is slashed, and through
tho slashes arc woven
purple silk strands. Tho
brim binding and the
ciown band are of pur
ple grosgrain ribbon.
