When Fed on II,
The Best Diet in the World For
Growing Children.

It is truly triumph in infant feeding whom
babies take food with evident relish even
when the weather is the hottest and when
the tone of their little stomachs is so reduced
by the heat.
And this is why so many careful mothers
who have reared large families successfully,
not to mention physicians and trained nurses
everywhere, so earnestly urge a diet Of lac
tated food whenever the infant digestion is
feeble
Wherever no especial precaution is taken
in feeding children hot weather is just as
sure to multiply the deaths Of infants as the
infants are to be born.
Babies and young children feel the dis
astrous effect of high temperature much
more than others.
Half the deaths in July are those Of chill
dren under five years. Every summer more
than a third of all who die are infants

you ask of me is both difficult and
