He will get a teaspoonful of orange juice diluted with a little boiled | water. Tomato juice serves the. same purpose only it requires twice' as much as of orange juice. Give it at a time' when it will not inter fere with his appetite for a regu lar meal. The amount is gradu ally increased until when he is six months old he will be receiving about four tablespoons daily. Cod liver oil, or some other form of vitamin D, is usually started at the same time. The amount de pends on the rate of growth of your baby and on whether he is receiv ing a milk with vitamin D in it. Many babies are started on the next addition at six weeks of age. The special baby cereals and strained foods are prepared so that they are suitable for tiny babies. This early start seems to make them grow better, not necessarily faster but a better type of growth. It also helps them to establish good eating habits and prevents consti pation. If babies are not started on semi-solid foods until late in the first year, they often resent chang ing from liquid to more solid food. They learn early that food comes in a spoon or cup and not always from a bottle. Just when these additional foods are added to your baby’s menu is a matter for your l physician to decide depending upon i the type of growth he is making. It is important that these first ! semi-solid foods be especially pre ! pared for easy digestion and in j such a way as to retain the vita I min and mineral values to the greatest degree. This problem has been greatly simplified for you now that food manufacturers, specializ ing in baby foods, have put on the market a variety of prepared baby cereals and strained foods. Be-Hce Robinson. The Woodson Cen ter has every week a class, one for boys from 8 to 11 years old, and an other day during the week, a class for girls in the same age bracket. “The boys will eat anything they prepare, but the girls sometimes may be a little fussy”, Miss Robinson in formed me. “Cooking seems to run in my family, and I really enjoy these youngsters around the stoves. My grandfather was a cook in Omaha for years, and my mother is a cateress”. HOME-MAKING MANUAL By Carol Brice I In this generation what every woman knows is the value of a smart, well groomed apearance. The modern wo man is demanding, .she wants her clothes to fit well..she loves fine fab rics., but she is resourceful and prac tical. The limitations of her budget are a challenge.

Warner) Everbody in this country needs some article badly. Everybody in most of Europe and Asia need about every thing desparately. And we can’t sat isfy those needs at home and abroad unless we save everything we all have and don’t need. Used fats are as im portant today in relieving shortages of everything from soap to new hom es as they were during the war in making everything from ammunition to blood plasma containers. We and the rest of the world need as much fats and oils as we can pro duce and salvage. Despite the great efforts of American farmers and cat tlemen, our domestic production of fats and oils has never been able to compensate for the loss of our im ports from the Pacific. Before Pearl Harbor we used to get our cocoanut, linseed and other oils from South Sea Islands. It will be quite a while before the oil plantations on Guadal canal and in the Phiippines get back oils accounted for a large part of American supplies, and we know what more than eight years of fighting has done to vast areas of China. FATS KEEDED In orderf to feed the hungry peo ple of Europe and Asia and help to gel ■ them into production so that they can help themselves, the United States must contribute 840 million pounds of fat and oils in 1946 to the world pool. Within the United States the demand for fats and oils is grea ter than ever, and the stocks on hand and prospects of production are smal ler. The Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics estimates that our demand will be about 50 pounds per person during 1946, and that our supplies average about 44 pounds. Our supp lies of fats and oils are 25 per cent lower than a year ago. Industry was short of fats and oils during the war and now' with plans for expansion getting under way in every manufac turing plant, the demand for indust rial fats and oils is greater than it has ever been. In Europe, of course, the situation is much worse. Supplies of food avail able in Continental Europe in 1946 will be lower than they were at any time during the war. There are short ages of manpower to plant and har vest crops; there are shortages of fer tilizers and farm machinery. The mi litary operations, necessarily bring ing destruction and disruption in their wake, caused greater shortages. Fats and oils are among the foods Europe lacks most. For Greater Coverage ADVERTISE IN The Omaha GUIDE! Republicans’ First Choice for United States Senator Last March, pre-primary convention- were held by both parties to name their candidates considered best fitted and most desirable for nomination at the primary election to be held this coming June 11. The delegates who named the candidates had been elected by the voters to do this. As first choice for the nomination for United States Senator, they named Senator Hugh Butler by a wide majority. Why Senator Butler Is The Republicans’ FIRST Choice Ke is an honest-to-joodness Republi«_i. His valiant fight against the crippling controls on produc tion has won him the admiration of sound-thinking Americans everywhere. He Stopped the squandering of billions of dollars of tax payers’ money by government spending agencies. He has proved himself a powerful and true friend of the veterans. His leadership has won him a place on all of the Senate committees of particular importance to Nebraska. A new comer to the Senate in his place now would lose that great advantage for our state.
