Babyhood for July urges upon parents the I'M
portanee of labelling little children by always
marking their full names and addresses in in
delible ink on some easy accessible part of their
clothing, such as the collarband. There can be
no doubt that such a custom would be fruitful
of many good results, and go far towards alevis-
ting the anxiety of parents in of their little
ones straying away from home, or becoming lost
in a crowd of disabled by an accident. This
number of Babyhood abounds in useful sugges-
tons 10 mothers and in the variety of topics
treated by its contributors and correspondents,
proves its ability to fulfil its avowed intention to
become channel for the best thoughts of all
who study the highest interests of child life.

Must Go to the Country" by Marion Harland,
and THE Quantity of Food Required in Infancy .
