LET THE BABY CRY.
He Expands His Lungs That Way, and It
Doesn't Hurt Him.

"A mother should not let a little crying the
part Of her baby disturb her" writes Mariana
Wheeler. for twelve years superintendent of the
handbook called plain Hints for Busy Mothers
(E. B. Treat & Co.. New-York). Crying she
continues is the only method the child has of
exercising his lungs. He does not breathe deeply
enough in early infancy I'LL the lungs. but by
occasional good scream and in while hold
ing the breath, he gradually expands and strength
ems his breathing apparatus I would not advise
a mother TO let her baby cry by the hour but If
he should without apparent cause cry violently
look his clothing carefully to that there
no wrinkles or pins disturbing him. that he Is
dry and hands and feet warm then, If there
seems reason for his crying or If he stops as
picked up, put him down and let him
cry IT out"
THE brightest children" says this sensible au-
thor elsewhere, 'are those who left for the
most part to think cut their own play and amuse-
ment. 4 mother can readily train her baby to De
very little care, first by not handling him often
and second by feeding him with absolute resu-
Iarity. The goodness of a baby depends almost
entirely upon the mother.
ut is great mistake to put too much clothing
on an infant. 1t is not the quantity but the qua
and the way it is distributed that determine the
warmth. Numerous clothes cause wrinkles, WIicn
crease and injure the tender flesh. Nothlns
exercise, but held down by heavy clothes the BABY
simply cannot his legs.
