TWINS 88 YEARS OLD

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, July s.
Junius n. and julius III. Benham,
probably the oldest twins in Ameri-
ca. today celebrated their eighty
eighth birthday by giving shore
dinner to their numerous relatives
and friends.
The two brothers were born July
s, 1917, at Middlebury. Conn. They
came to this city early in life ana
for half a century have been promi-
nent in the building industry. They
come from a long-lived family. Their
grandfather lived to "a. Their father
was So at the time of his death and
their mother lived to the age of So,
Their only brother died at the age
of Sc. They are strictly temperate
and regular in theiy habits and all
their lives have been industrious
workers. Both men are over six feet
tall and not only look alike, both hav-
ing snow-white hair and boards, but
also dress alike so that ii is almost
impossible to distinguish one from
the other.

with one ounce of superfuous weight
as possible put on short ones that do
not more than cover the feet. Let the
infant give full play to the legs and
feet and kick to his hearts content.
Don't Handle Baby.
During the summer handle the baby
him close to your warm body; it is
extremely heating.
If the baby is too young to roll
about, put him on a good, broad bed
mot a feather one). Next best to
the bed is the crib. A soft pad or
on the floor Is not a bad place for
him, but draughts must be carefully
avoided. Baby carriages with pads
or pillows are close and hot; a good
sized clothes masket is preferable.
Baby's Bath.
The care of the Infants skin dur
ing the summer is great factor to
the baby's comfort. Warm, not cool,
water should be used freely. Use soap
sparingIy. Sponging with water Is
most refreshing, especially to fat
children and those who perspire free
ly. With fat babies, where skin be-
comes irritated or raw between the
folds of flesh, soap should never be
used. A teacup Of bran, tied up in
, a bag Of cheese cloth and agitated IN
! the water should be substituted.
Would advise two baths a day. A tub
/ bath in the morning, temperature SO
! degrees, and a sponge bath same tenn
perature at night before going to bed,
| is usually enough; but when the child
! Is very irritable, feverish or suffering
from any kind Of heat rash, two or
more sponge baths may be given dur
ing the day or night with soothing
and quieting effect
For heat, nettle rash or priclley
heat take basin Of water, degree
as above stated, and put in 1t either
| a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda,
small lump of starch the size of
your finger nail, or a Tablespoonful
Of vinegar or salt. Any one of these
' added to the water will act as a
soothing agent to the irritated skin.
Go over the body two or three
times with a soft wash cloth wrung
out of this water. The last time
wiring most Of the water out of the
cloth and do not dry the body fur
Their The evaporation of the slight
moisture left on the skin Is cooling
and without danger. IF, however, the
skin is raw or irritated between the
folds of flesh, as in the creases of the
neck, groin, etc. dry these parts care
fully and dust with cornstarch or fine
talcum powder.

The problem of keeping baby
health during the summer is one that
is easily solved by the mother if she
will put in practice few simple
rules as to clothing, batheing, diet,
air, etc.
In selecting clothing for the sum-
mer months do not make the mistake
of eliminat ting all garments which are
warm. Clothing in the main should
be light, cool and as few pieces as
possible, but the garment that covers
the trunk, or in other words the vital
organs, should be of texture such
as to sustain a moderate amount Of
heat and protect those parts.
Children are just as susceptible to
cold in summer as at any other sea-
son, and I firmly believe that sum-
mer complaint and other kindred dis
eases of the bowels are due as much
to the fact that the abdomen is not
properly protected as to- improper or
impure food. Many summer colds.
such as attacks Of sore throats, bron-
chitis and even pneumonia are from
the same cause--lack of proper pro-
lection to the chest.
What to Wear.
AS summer wardrobe I would
suggest-first and most important of
all, very lightweight wool, silk and
wool or silk-ribbed band, with Shout
der straps, coming from the armpits
down over the thighs. In very warm
weather this one body garment as I'M
days, such as we are likely to have
at any time during our summer
months, I would add a gauze shirt to
this band.
Babies should wear diapers, older
children drawers of fine muslin, cam
brio or nainsOok, white skirt of the
same material and a thin dress with
short sleeves if desired. The stock
ings of silk or cotton and the little
knit bootees or kid shoes according
to the age of the child.
This is decidedly a hot day outfit,
| however, and the mother should al
ways be watchfuI for changes. On
cool mornings add flannel petticoat
of light texture, toward evening a
little sack or coat.
1t Is important that the extremities
should always be warm, as good d.
gestion depends largely on good cir
culation. Shoes. stockings or socks
may be dispensed with on very hot
days, provided the hands and feet
keep warm, but it is better to avoid
risks and keep the feet properly
| clothed.
