How often have you begun
a statement with. “If I live to
he 100 . . .!” At the rate the ex
pected life span has increased
in recent years, it might be a
common occurrence for hahies
now born. In 1900. according to
the 1968 World Almanac, the
expected life-span for boy
babies was 46 years: females.
48. In 1966. it increased to 66
for males and 73 for females!
Frequently, babies are named
after historic or famous people
without any awareness of what
the names actually stand for.
Adam, for instance, means “hu
man being.” Clark stands for
"priest" and Sophia means
“wise.”
Weaning a bahv in ancient
Greece meant goat's milk, hut
mare’s milk is fed infants in
Mongolia. In Victorian days,
physicians frequently advised
mothers not to feed milk, but to
“lightly boil stale bread in
water, wine or beer, add butter
or sugar to taste.”
