Summer Diet for Infants.

At recent meeting OF the public health assO-
giatiOn OF this city, series of resolutions were
passed requesting DIR. A. Jacob to furnish for
the use OF the association a schedule of direc-
tiOns concerning Infantile diet in summer, and
evening, at the TOOIss of the Medical Journal
association, DR. Jacob responded TO the reso-
luton, prefacing his remarks by an elaborate
address t. on the physl9logy Of infant digestion
Overlooking does more harm than anything
else; nurse a baby of a month old or two every
two or three hours; nurse baby of six months
and over i've times in twenty-fOur hours, and
10 more.
When a baby gets thirsty in the mean time,
give II drink OF water OF barley water In
very hot weather. mix a teaspoOnful of whisky
with tumbleT full of water, mo sugar.
Boil a teaSpOOnful Of powdered barley grind
II on the coffee grinder and gill of water with
salt for fifteen minutes. Strain 10 and mix IL
with half as much boiled milk and piece of
loaf,sugar- Give it lukewsTm, through a nurs-
ing-bOttle.
Keep the bottle and mouthpiece in water
when rot in use.
Give babies OF five or siN months half barley
water and half boiled milk, with salt and loaf
sugar.
Give older babies more milk in proportion.
When babies are very cOstive, take oatmeal
instead OF barley, but be sure to cook and
strain it.
When your breast-milk is half enough for the
infant, alternate with bread ami fool.
In hot summer weather, dip a small piece of
Itmus paper into the food before feeding Ii
the blue paper turns red, add pinch OF baking
soda to the food.
Babies of six months may have beef tea or beef
coup once day by itself or mixed with other
food.
Babies Of ten or twelve months may have a
crust OF bread and a piece of rare beefsteak to
suck.
No child under two years ought to eat from
yOuT table
The summer complaint comes from over
feeding and hot and foul air. Keep doors and
windows open. Wash your children at least
twice day. Ten times are not too many in the
hot season.
When babies throw off and purge give them
nothing TO eat for four To six hours, but all the
cold aiT you can. After that, you NAV give a
lew drops of whisky in teaspOOnful of ice
water every i've OF ten minutes, but no more
until the doctor comes When there il yomi-
ting and puTging give no milk.
Give no Iaudanum, no paregOric, no soothing
syrup, no teas.
A discussion took place, in which a majority
Of the physicians present participated. and IL
was their unanimous opinion that III printed
copies of the schedule could be distributed in
our tenement houses much good would result
from it.-Nss0 FORK World.

CLAN SOUP.-As the season is now at hand
when the market will be supplied with CLANS
Il oner the following recipe for making clam
coup, which cannot be surpassed Boil for
three hours kDuckle of veal. with a goodly
Portion of water, and one onion. Strain and
add the liquor Of fifty clans: Thicker with a
tablespoon of -four, well rubbed with butter
the size OF a small egg Have your CLANS cut
IN three pieces with the hard rind removed
Beat the yolk OF two eggs very light, and put
into your tureen with chopped parsley and half
q pint OF milk. just before service drop the
CLANS into the boiling soup, letting them boil
up at once. Pour INTO the tureen, stirring well
Its contents when doing so.
How To PoT HERRING.-As many persons
object TO eating herring on account of the many
IOnes they contain, here is a recipe to pickle
them that takes the bones all out Clean
and scale, then put them to soak a few
hours, changing the water at least twice to
Craw out the blood; take a jar or pot, put at
the bottom cloves, allspice. pepper and salt
then large layer of fish and 50 on alternately
until the jar is nearly fnll, then cover with
strong vinegar, now take bread dough and
cover the jar about as thick as your hand to
exclude the air; set the Jar in a warm stove
over night; and the next day the fish is ready
for the table, and the bones are non est.
LOOK TIP YOUR OLD CANs.-I have just con-
verified into many conceivable purposes what
most people cast away-fruit cans. Cut the top
carefully out and batter down the edge neatly;
cut strip of tin long enough for handles,
punch two holes in the upper and one in the
lower, Evet them with small rivets from the
timers, they make the incest tin cup, with
out handles for paint or drippings of fat. In
olden times they would have been looked upon
a. prize in any family.-GeTMaRtOlcn TeIe.
