CARE OF TIE BABES,

Unless, great regard is paid 10 food
common sense point Of view. the av-
erage child of delicately nurtured pa
rents is susceptible to numerous small
physical troubles which aret liable to
result seriously in after life.Y
1t is the privilege for healthy babe
to CRY for what it wants. That is net
ural But when the cry is frequent
or more or less continuous. ii may be
taken for granted that the cry comes
from distress az. that unsuitable food
is the cause OF it.
The Importance Of providing child
with 4 diet which is III every way suit
cd to his individual requirements can
not be overestimated. 1t should be
watched from day to day and changed
according to tie physical condition Of
the little one. At the very outset OF
his little life it due attention is not
paid to his diet, it may result later in
an impaired digestion and constitu-
tionally bad temper us well.
Fresh air and sunshine are just us
necessary to an infant as to the pa
rents of the infant. child must
have both to thrive. II possible the
rooms inhabited by children should
get the morning sun, and every child
should be taken for a drive or walk
while the sun is swell in the sky. Day
and night the living apartments OF
children should be Systematically aired
and nothing is worse for the health OF
children than a room heated by the
means of gas.
1t is not possible for child 70 be
good-tempered or well it he is so in
sufficiently clothed as to feel cold. 10
obtain the greatest benefit from the
clothing it should be equally distribut-
ed over the whole Of the little body.
The extreinities should be especially
shielded The undergarments of chill
dren should be of pure wool, suitable
to the season.-New York Evening
