With this new system babies are fed pre-stenlized formulas from sterile nursers with permanently affixed nipples that remain covered until feeding time. Nursers are used only once, then discarded. Potential sources of contamination such as mixing containers, bottle warmers, ruptured nipples and the transportation of nursing bottles between areas are bypassed. A comprehensive group of sterilized, ready-to-use formulas to meet all the infants' needs are prepared under rigid factory specifications. Thus, babies may receive any specified formula promptly with virtually no waste or delay. After study, the pediatricians have evaluated the advantages of this new system over the old as follows: The baby received a new nurser for each feeding, each nurser is used just once and then is thrown away. Therefore the baby always feeds from his own personal nurser. The baby nurses easily and comfortably without excess air-swallowing -- swallowed air being the most frequent cause of a baby's discomfort after feeding. That's why babies are 'burped* at regular intervals. No air enters the nurser for the baby to swallow and no vacuum is created to restrict formula flow. Therefore, gulping of excess air and collapsed nipples are eliminated during the feeding. The baby can nurse at his own rate, the unique design permitting the baby to control the flow of formula, shutting it off when resting. Feeding r more natural and it is observe« that premature infants with a? inadequate sucking ability could be fed more easily with the disposable' unit. The hospital administration believes that this improved technique is a welcome one in one of its most important functions -- the care and feeding of infants. I smart-cuts for women Iby Moggie Lovewell I Your home can look cool, even feel cool, with these SUMMERTIME DECORATING IDEAS. Bring the outdoors in --with seashells or colored glass bits piled in an apothecary jar. Or put a large conch shell on a decorative or wooden dish. Put assorted potted plants on a pizza dish--surround with colored pebbles or white stones. Hang a wicker basket cage from the ceiling and grow hanging vines in it. Put fruit in large baskets. Set a round glass disc on a wicker stool for a clever side table. For the bare floor, try cool Tatami mate or tropical sisal mats in gay colors. And say, seen those gay striped shades?

By looking at clothes, luggage, license plates, even bumper stickers, kids try to tell where they're going and make up a story about it.
