A YOUNG MOTHERS DANGERS.
The Sea of Advice That Threatens to Over
Mheln Her.


One of the dangers which beset the
feet of a young mother is the sea of adj
vice which threatens to overwhelm her
She may be an intelligent educated
woman, who has studied and read ex-
tensively upon the subject of the needs
of childhood: she may be aware of some
peculiarities in the constitution Of her
child, which require different treat
ment from the majority of children;
she may have the advantage of capa-
ole r4edieal supervision, but not all
this can save her from being deluged
continually with suggestions and ad-
vice from every one who ever has had,
or who equally has not had, anything
to do with baby.
Any one who has any intelligent
knowledge of that wonderful bit of
mechanism, baby. would not dare TO
prescribe any but very simple and
harmless remedies for indisposition.
but the woman who knows nothing
will advise the most heroic measures,
and il is wonder that more helpless
victims are not slain by thoughtless
advice.
We have often wished that every
young mother could say, when advice
is pressed upon her by irresponsible
persons, Are you willing to take the
consequences Of your advice? IL my
child falls i'll as a result, will you as
sumo the anxiety, the care. the ex-
pense? If he is injured, mentally or
morally by following your suggestions,
will you consider yourself wholly re-
sponsible?"
1t is because y. tins absolute free
dom from consequences that people are
so ready with their advice. Hold them
to the consequences, and they would
be silenced.
The only safe road is to press on un-
hindered by advice. unless given by
people who know what they are talk
ing about And this latter class will
I not be apt to press their opinion upon
any one unsolicited, and will give a
/ thought one.
! There are abundant opportunities for
I n mother TO learn how to care for her
( child properly and intelligently, and
/ though the mother who has brought
up, perhaps, four out of eight children.
/ in utter disregard to all hygiene and
/ the laws of health, and is perfectly
satisfied to be ignorant of any better
method, will say that she never
bothered" with these new ways, and
/ her children all did well enough" yet
! there is a higher aim than well
enough" for which the thinking wom-
an of to-day strives, and if she turns
deaf ear to irresponsible advisors, she
may attain to it, and TO the heights OF
unselfish, intelligently devoted mother

surprise by coming out lnapproval of the
new Chinese treaty. He doesnot agree
with those who have argued that IL
amounts TO an abrogation of the Geary
law, but looks upon it rather as a
recognition of the registration princi-
pie, which is the feature of the law
that bears his name. He regards the
proposed treaty as an advance on the
present one, in that it allows the total
prohibition of Chinese Immigration,
while the present treaty provides only
for it's suspension.
