THE COURIER, BROOKFIELD, N. Y., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1928 Don’t Make aToy Out of Baby* -'Babies Have'tJerves' B y RU T H BIUTTAIN Much of'the nervousness In older children can be traced to the over stimulation during Infancy, caused regarding baby as a soirt incy, caused by ) of animated toy for the amusement of parents, rel atives and friends. Baby may be played with, but not for more than a quarter of an hour to an hour daily. Beyond that, hsing handled, tickled, caused to laugh or even sci'eani, will sometimes result in vomiting, and in variably causes irritability, crying or sleeplessness. Fretfulness, crying and sleeplessness from this cause can easily be avoided by treating baby with more consider ation, but when you jjist can’t see making baby restless or upset, tter give him a few drops of pure, rmless Castorla. It’s amazing to see how quickly it calms baby’s nerves and soothes him to sleep; yet it contains no drugs or opiates.

IVe are accustomed to think of Egypt in terms of symbols—the Spbinx, Osiris, the Pyramids. The couutry has been a happy hunting ground for tlie archeologists, and their revelations turn us back through the abysms of time to the contempla tion of mysterious figures of the past, whether a sacred bull or King Tut- !ankhamen, A country of wonders, no doubt; but the wonder o f wonders Is not the ancient relics dug from the earth, nor the mighty works of men’s hands erected upon Its surface, but the soil itself—that longish strip of green fringing the Elver Nile for the better part of one thqusaud miles. Nature has dealt In niggardly fash Ion with the land of Egypt. The coun try possesses no copper, no Iron ore, no forests, no precious minerals, and no good steam coal.

Cotton-grow« ing requires about 25 tons of water daily, while rice culture requires 60 Man and his works In Egypt have existed only by grace of the river. There has always been something mysterious about the annual* rise of the Nile. Such a seemingly slight thing as a reversal of the winds thi sweep in summer across equatorial Africa from the Atlantic would out off the annual flood and lay waste the richest agricultural valley In the But while the annual'floods have varied from time to time in volume they have never in recorded history been entirely cut off. The apparition of the annual rise of the Nile is one of nature’s certitudes, as well estab lished and as universally accepted as the rising and setting of the sun. , but they never succeeded In penetrating to the heart of the mystery. There is longer the slightest mystery about a subject that baffled the intelligence world. The White and Ightest mystery baffled the int form the great Elver Nile. The sou of the Nile are, therefore, dual- one constant, the otlier variable. The White Nile finds a catchmi asin in a series of lakes, of wh: le greatest is Victoria, in equatorial Africa.
