One thing upon which all medical au-
thorities are agreed. is that children
should not habitually sleep with adults.
That the custom is extremely harmful
to the children is evident, even though
our limited knowledge Of the mysteries
Of life may net enable us to demonstrate
in Just what manner the electrical or
nervous forces may be affected. Does
this apply to the babes? Certainly. at
ter the first few days. during which
the child should be kept close to its
mothers body for the sake Of the
warmth which is desirable. But within
a few days the little body Is capable of
supplying its own warmth. and its place
Is then in the little bed or crib, where 1t
may be master Of its own field. Above
all things, avoid the habit which many
parents have Of placing the child be-
tween them in the same bed; to say
nothing Of the DANCE. Of a heavy sleeper
rolling upon the tiny form, the sanitary
condition is about the most harmful
Imaginable.

Up to date the Sick Babies Fund has
received $2O.726 from the people. On Sat
urday $32173 was contributed.
The enthusiasm of the charitable sup
porters of this Fund has not subsidized,
and 1t is possible that 5000 will be
added before the Fund closes.
The free doctors maintained by this
charity will continue their visits to the
tenements for several weeks yet. They
knock at, every door and inquire after
the health OF the children. II any child
Is sick or hungry, or needs clothing, the
doctor supplies the want. Even adults
found sick or in distress are cared for.
The Fund has ministered to thousands
during the Summer. 1t has saved al
most as many lives as 1t has received
dollars. The free doctors are the body
guard of the poor. Thousands of moth
ers' prayers bless them and the people
who give the money to sustain this
beautiful charity.
