So pronounced -was public sentiment against the action of the Board that many be lieved the Board would reconsider its action at the June meeting.

Nearly everyone In England has changed butchers in the past few weeks or Is eelacfoaov, ........... . When strtee rationing was la feres each . householder was compelled to register with "one butcher and buy all meats from him. People were standing In line for the butcher's supplies, his hoppers were cleaned every day before his customers could get what they wanted, and he was irritated at price and allotment. A few sharp words and soon the butch er and the consumer were hardly on speaking terms. This went on dur ing the war because the butcher if he had meat was forced to supply the registrant, he could not over-charge him and the registrant was forced to purchase from that butcher. The result was that when the gov ernment decided householders could register with another firm nearly everybody did. They all calculated they could not Injure their position. Since yesterday the consumer Is no longer required to give coupons for meat, butter and sugar. The grocer and the butcher still is rationed, how ever, and they deal out to their cus tomers about the same amount de livered to them when coupons were required. The supplies to the re tailers are rapidly being increased. The Food Ministry promises that It will not be long until one of the most necessary but most Irksome systems of the war will have ended and the coupon book be discarded.

LET KIDDIES SHED WINTER CLOTHES (Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn,) (Director Bureau Infant Hygiene.) For the past two weeks the writer has been vietlng about the State In terviewing mothers and attending meetings of clubs. The improvised baby welfare stations at which moth ers were having the babies weighed and measured during Baby Week were Interesting spots. In every In stance the babies were beautiful, and in nearly every case beautifully dressed. It is a well known fact that without exception the biggest, fat test, finest babies are the ones brought to stand the test where a prize is offered, as the mother of the underweight baby does not usually bring it out for the public demon strations, but waits until the welfare stations are not busy nor crowded to have her baby weighed and instruct ions given regarding its condition. Almost without exceptin in all the thousands of babies seen and ad mired, there has been a disposition on the part of the mother to over dress the baby. After all, the baby is a very hu man thing and because of Its depend ence should be most humanely treat ed. No adult wound submit to being swathed In a flannel band, flannel undershirt, flannel petticoats, white cotton petticoat and dress, one on, top ot :the other, these suanaer days. Our grandmothers had an Idea that a baby needs to be kept warm, aid carried out that idea to the fullest extent of the rule, making little or no change for wind or weather, un til the child was two years old. Then, the teeth established, the little one was entitled to the same humane change of clothing according to cli matic changes which is successful In keeping adults comfortable. The teething period taxes the patience of the baby sufficiently without contri buting anything else to Its general discomfort, and because the baby can make no outburst other than the usual fretting and crying, mothers and Interested relatives do not un derstand how really provoked a baby may be. In North Carolina during the months of May, Juns, July, August and September, the baby has no need of flannel bands, shirts and petti coats, and the chilly mornings which we are likely to have, will be pro vided for sufficiently by cotton stock ings put on until the chlllness of morning has worn off, or a light wrap, little cashmere sack, or outing flannel wrapper can be worn until the day becomes warmer. If you love the baby, don't make a show of it during the summer. Do not put on starched clothes, pique coats, lined and bowed caps, no mat ter how "cute" the baby looks dressed so the fewer clothes they wear during the hot days ot summer and more comfortable they are, the more resistance to the heat will they have. (eel tired On hot days when you ' and listless, allow the baby to sleep as much as possible in the shadiest place procurable, and alwsys protect ed from flies and mosquitoes. Even though they have been bathed In the J morning, a sponge bsth will greatly relieve the depression of the heat, 'and oftentimes Induce sleep by rea son ot the comfort given. Don't for get to give frequent drinks of water during the day. Boll the water each morning and place the sterilised jar containing the water la the refrig erator. Water Is refreshing to a tired adult and Is even more neces sary to the little baby. For goodness and baby's sake do not cover it too much during the naps and never tndsr any circum stances, cover Its head. Take off the eitra clothing today. If you have aot done so don't watt te take It off gradually, or by the chaags of the moon, 1st NOW.
