soft and pulpy, renewing the liquor. add

There is one thing that the best of
nurses should not be allowed to do, and
that is to stand with baby at window
when the thermometer is much below
freezing. The cold fairly raiiates from
the glass and strikes on the delicate
little lungs or legs when the baby is
short-coated. The nurse likes TO in
dulge her curiosity rs to passers-by in
the street, or to watch and see who ii
is that is getting out of the carriage at
the door, and the next thing a doctors
carriage has TO draw up and the baby is
treated for Group or pleurisy. At no
time in winter is the window a good
place for baby TO be held.

quart of milk, one pint of cream, half

Miss Corson tells us it is quite I'M

upon the frozen tissues that hot
Gather would have upon long kept
meat. and the poultry or joint will
spoil before the fire. as it would in the
srder or hung out of the window. i'm a
sudden change OF temperature. Frozen
meats of course keep well, and there is
very slight if any difference i'll their
