Summer days are perilous days for
the babies, and there are many moth
ers who are not sure Just what to do
A very able physician. one who spe-
cializes on babies. and is in charge OF
one OF the largest and most successful
infant clinics In the country. says:
THE most important factor is pure
milk. You cannot lay too much stress
on that. Thousands of babies are killed
every summer by the germs held In
impure milk. Have the milk pssteur-
lied. and use 1t the same day. AT
least, have 1t sterilIzed. You can Pas
teurize Il yourself. Put the milk in a
thoroughly clean vessel. and place In II
an ordinary thermometer. Clean the
thermometer. Bring the milk to tenn
perature OF 1871 degrees. and keep II
there for exactly twenty minutes Then
remove and cool. Use the same day.
Or you can destroy the germs by bring
ing the milk to the boiling point, and
Immediately removing. DO not prolong
the boiling, as this renders 1t less d.
gestibIe and may induce sickness
"a child less than year old should
be given nothing but milk. and only
