The value of warm baths and their
effect upon nervous or fretful children,
whether in sickness or health, cannot
be overestimated. Every infant, unless
there Is some good reason to the con-
trary, such as a skin affection or ILL
ness, should have two baths day-one
a tub bath in the morning. the other
a warm sponge bath when put to bed.
The morning bath Is conducive to
healthfulness and cleanliness, the
sponge bath at night is most useful on
account of It's quieting and soothing
effect Neither bath should be above
or below 90 degrees temperature; at
this temperature there can be no dan
ger from cold. The morning bath re-

The Little White Coffin.
I'm the New York Globe

From the New YORK GLOBE.
These are the days when the east side
babies begin to die in earnest. Under nor
NAL temperature conditions they have
hard enough fight for life, but when the
mercury gets up in the nineties and the air,
day after day, is filled with a depressing
load of moisture, the merest trif1e of bad
food Serves to turn the scale toward the
coffin. The younger the baby the greater
the danger. The one food on which these
frail little waits have to depend for their
start In life is milk, and bad milk in days
such as these is nothing less than an active
poison for them. The raw tenement grocery
milk at cents quart is bad milk from
this. II not from every, point Of view. 1t
would cost the city but few thousand dol
lars a year to pasteurize and prepare for in
FAINT food sufficient milk to supply the de-
mand of all those mothers who cannot af-
ford to patronize the high-priced milk
stores.
This milk could be sold at cost, or where
necessary given away. Mr.. Straus has re-
peatedIy demonstrated the value of such
routine treatment Of milk, and has for years
maintained number Of distributing sta
wholesome and safe infant food. Alone
however, he can furnish but fraction of
the milk required There Is urgent need
that the city take up this work, and pre-
the routine pasteurization of the entire city

do this for their own protection. Such a
plan is entirely feasible and would be rela-
lively Inexpensive. During every ''hot
SPELL hundreds of babies die from lack Of
clean milk. And the only reason a copious
supply is not available for the tenement
babies is lack of a sufficiently aroused pub
lie opinion behind the demand. We have
published from time to time the opinions Of
a number Of experts, both as to the desira-
bility and the practicability Of wholesale
pasteurization.

THE USE OF ICE.
Danger to Health in Abuse Of the
Frozen Stuff

From the Richmond Times Dispatch.
The use Of ice Is one Of the most strik-
Ing customs that has been developed in
America, and to the eyes Of the European
the custom is as unwholesome and unwise
as 1t is unusual. A number Of interesting
observations on the use of ice have been
collected by the New York Evening Post,
and, though 1t may not be that the use of
ice-cold drinks are more healthful, 1t Is at
least comforting to our national pride to
know that the fondness for ice water Is not
new thing under the sun, nor are the at
tempts made in American cities to pile up
fortunes by means of ice monopoly a new
phase of human depravity.
There is verse in Proverbs (xxv:1s).
says the Evening Post-"as the cold of
snow in time Of harvest, so is a faithful
messenger to them that send him"-which
seems to indicate that the ancient He
brews were in the habit Of bringing down
snow from the mountains at night, as the
natives of some parts of Spain do to the
present day. A German historian has ex-
pressed surprise that no one thought of eel
ebrating the thousandth anniversary Of the
discovery of the existence of a process Of
making artificial Ice, to which a native Of
Schle5wig named Wulfstan, contemporary
Of Alfred the Great, referred in a report on
the people of Esthland, who, he said, could
place two buckets Of water or beer side by
side and make one Of them freeze in sum-
mer as easily as in winter. This may have
been merely tribal or local secret; but we
can go back 1928 years, at any rate, and find
a state of affairs not unlike our own.
In the year 1873 there appeared book on
Constantinople by Solomon Schweigger, who
wrote that in the neighborhood Of that city
there were q number of pits, into which
men were hired to shovel snow in winter.
This hardeped into ice, and in summer 1t
was sawed of in chunks so large that a
horse could carry only two and taken to the
city, where 1t was sold to the fruit dealers.
whoever buys glass Of sherbet or Cruel
buys also lump of ice, and throws 1t in,
or else he walks along the street and sucks,
the ice. It cost G. daily half thaler, or, II
he had guests. two thalers to keep himself
supplied with ice." The ice was placed on
TASKS. SO as to make q cool drink for there
are no deep cellars. as in our country"
Schweigger's further remarks explain the
high price of this popular commodity:
single pasha was known to make as much
as. SC. 900 ducats a year out of his ice pits
while the profits Of the sultan, who also
sold ice and snow. must be incalculable."
So the ex-mayor of New York was not
the first ruler who saw his main chance In
the ice pits. Whether Europe likes the
American custom or not, 1t has learned to
prepare such delicacies as the American
tourist DESIRES and Ice water can now
be had in European hotels at an extra
charge. and We may yet b able to have
