BABY FOOD. Wheat will make an excellent baby food where mother's milk is deficient or scant, and remember that however good the prepared, bottled foods may be, nothing can come up to a freshly prepared article, free from the sug- gestions of factory hands. Take one-half cup of wheat, soak it in one-half cup of water and as soon as all the water is absorbed boil slowly or steam in one quart of water and when well done, mash thru a colander and return to fire, the gruel as well as the remainder in colan- der. Add one saltspoonful of salt, and one pint of thoroly sweetened milk, about three tablespoonfuls of sugar to the quart of milk and let it slowly come to a simmering 46 point. Now pass thru a sieve and a cheesecloth. May be administered in a nursing bottle. Will also prove an excellent food for invalids. If patient or babe is found very poorly in health, add to the above, at the time the milk is being added, the flour of ten finely grated blanched almonds
