A Word of Warning.

The baby In the go-cart is receiving
the attention of the New York club
women and the following advice is the
result: Never allow child to sleep
for any length of time sitting UP in
one of these carriages, or if impos-
sible to keep it awake, manage to have
the head rest comfortable on the back
of the seat so the chest and neck will
not be cramped and the little one can
breathe naturally. 1t is pitiful to see
an infant asleep with its head twisteI
into one corner of a go-cart, or else
hanging over the side, or with its body
across a strap used to hold it on the
seat, the head almost buried in the
blanket. If mothers would only real
lie what a menace constantly assum-
ing these positions means to the flu
ture health and physical beauty of
children, they would always have the
little ones lie fat on their backs VIII an
sleeping, and if this is inconvenient
in a gocart, then the tired fretful
child should be kept awake and forced
to hold it's head UP even if it rebels
and cries. BY making the infant hold
its head up don't mean that it should
be kept rigidly straight and stiff, for
that would be tiresome, but it should
rest its head against the side in ga
easy, comfortable attitude. with tn ;
body held reasonably straight; the
shoulders should not droop, nor the
neck fall listlessly to one side. AS
for go-carts, no matter how well lined
with hair cushions and pillows they
may be, no child under Is months
should be trunded in one.
