For the food OF very young infants
there is provided bread-soup, or biscuit
panada, made OF white bread and arrow
root boiled in milk and water. This is
given at 10 A. NJ, and between and 5 p.
NJ; and, for drink between times, thin
barley-water. For unweaned children 7
months old and more, the panada is given
once day, in the morning; at 2 o'clock

week 6oullion Of beef orveal, from which
the fat is carefully skinned. This soup
is to be prepared with semOIino IA sort
Of bran). For children who have been
weaned,at 10 AN. the panada, but thicker;
at 1880 P. N. beetOr veal soup, with rice
and semoIino, followed by vegetables, Of
which potatoes are not 10 constitute more
than the one.sixth part; at s p, NJ. slices
Of bread aud butter; for drink, ptisan
favored with licorice. All these drinks
and soups are made fresh every day. The
lcreche Is carefully, thoroughly, and con-
itantly ventilated, and streams Of fresh air
Ioured In constantly but the children are
n'ver exposed to any draught, No fow-
eHare allowed; the cradles are aired fre-
Quntly, and the children taken into the
air As often as the weather permits. The
temperature Of the CreChe Is kept Us
nearE as possible at 90 degrees Fahren-
heii, out lowered o little in the evening.
In respect to cleanliness the regulations
OF the urrhe seem TO leave nothing to be
desired. Every child Is washed and
combed ia the morning and before the
first meal, and its hands and face washed
after eating, They are undressed,
rubbed dy with clean towels, From
May till October they have a tepid bath
every day, two hours after eating, re-
naming in the bath ten minutes. Scold-
ing is rarely resorted to, corporal punish.
mGnt absolutely forbidden; the rule Of
treatment is tenderness. They may be
caressed, but not embraced; their sleep Is
not to be interrupted; they are never to
be excited nor lifted up by one arm, nor
let lie too long on the same side; cOnfec.
tionery is prohibited, and the babies kept
with head cool, stomach easy, feet warm.
Appropoa to Mis- subject Of health in
cities, we notice that at recent meeting
Of the town council Of Liverpool, Eng, "
was stated that the lOath rate Of that city
had been reduced d twenty in one th9nt
sand living person., and that the redHc.
tion was due in great measure to the cut
ting Off Of direct communication between
the public sewers anl the houses Of the
poor. Tho health authorities have exer.
cised their power viii the poor people,
but the wealthy Stilllayc direct connec.
ton between their houses and the sewers.
The IdR Mall GG1ctic says that sewer gases
ara quite as injurious in the houses ofthc
wealthy as Of the poor, but that the form.
or living better, and having better medi.
cal dttendanGe, with change Of air by
visits to the country Md to watering
places, escape the worst effects Of diseases
engenlered by sewer gase'. But the san
itary arrangements made eior cottages are
equally applicable to mamions, and II 1t
Is true that fevers and other con-
tagious diseases arise from drains and
sewers opening into houses all connec-
tions should be cut of.
