Wig Children Die.--One reason why
children die is because they are not ta-
ken care of. From the day of birth, they
are stuffed with food, and choked with
physic, sloshed with water, suffocated in
hot rooms, steamed in bed clothes. So
mugh for indoor. When permitted to
breathe breath of pure air once Il week
in summer, and once or twice during
the colder months, only the nose is per-
mitted to peep into daylight. A little
later, and they are sent out with no
clothing at all on the. paets of the body
which most need protection. Bare
/ legs, bare arms, bare necks, girted mid
| die, with an inverted umbrella to col
lect the air and chill the other parts of
the body. A stout, strong man goes out
on cold day with gloves and overcoat,
: woolen stockings, and thick, double
| soled boots, with cork between and rub
ber over. The same day child of three
= years old, an infant flesh, bone, blood,
1 and constitution. goes ont with shoes as
f thin as paper, cotton socks legs uncover
+ ed to the knees, neck bare; an exposure
+ which would disable the nurse, kill the
D mother outright, and make the father an
2 invalid for weeks. And why? To har-
den them to mode of dress which they
I are never expected to practice; to ac-
2 custom them to exposure, which dozen
| years later, would be considered down
: right foolery. To rear children thus fol-
, the slaughter-pen, and then lay it on
e the Lord, is too bad. We don't think
the Almighty had any hand in it. And
, to draw comfort from the presumption
8 that He had an agency in the death of
the child is a PROCLAMATION.
