Regular feeding, pure air, free SUM-
shine. water, freedom in dress and
cleanliness should be the inheritance Of
every child. Do not cover the child's
head while he sleeps nor keep him in
an unventilated room. Knowing that
the atmosphere is 40 miles deep, 1t GER
tainly is useless piece of economy to
inhaie the same air more than once
First let the child sleep in a cool, we'll
aired room. and, if possible, in the
morning give the bath. then take him
outdoors, where he should remain not
given before each feeding. and not less
than six times day. Every element of
the body except the enamel of the teeth
contains salt, therefore II is necessary
that plenty of salt be given the child.
With the free use of salt in the food
during the first two years in life the
second set of teeth will be much better.
Take wornout flannel blankets and
cover with dainty silkoline: tie as for
comforts. These make excellent Sum-
mer coverings for cool nights.
In making hash never stir the mix
ture with a spoon; it makes the hash
pasty. Always use fork.
When you cook your green vegetables
and wish to have them look green when
served. let them cook with the cover off.
Two old bedspreads were coiored
blue: cut in strips and woven. as for
rag carpet, into rugs, one four by six
feet and two others of less dimensions.
4 white fringe finished the ends and
the velvety surface of the rugs when
woven gave them an Oriental appear
ance.
There is tradition that all in,aats
are subject to collie the first three
months. 1t is due partly to the tight
bandagins over the vital organs. Some
people have a false idea that the bones
cartilage. and if they are not bandaged
as tight as a drum they will fall to
pieces. 1t is necessary to give support
to the abdomen, but the lungs should be
given perfect freedom.
Iced water is preferable to ice water
iced water being cooled by the ice with
out being brought in direct contact with
it. If the ice placed in the water were
of the same water as that in which it is
used the results of drinking ice water
would not be 50 detrimental to the sys-
tenn, but the mixture of the two kinds
of water forms enc of the Objectionable |
features. The less ice water one drinks
the better. as in reality it increases ones
thirst: that is. there is greater tend
ency to desire drink inasmuch as ice
water siakes the thirst for a moment, |
but does not quench it.
Thin the eggs. in making an omelet. |
with few tablespoonfuls of hot water
instead of milk. You will find the ONE |
let will be more tender.
Commissions may be due to indiges-t
ton. irritation of the nerve centers in
teething or pinworrnS. A great many |
diseases are ushered in by commissions. |
The first thing TO do is to put the child
into tub of hot water about 1a0 le-t
srees Fahrenheit. without waiting to
undress it until you have it in the wa
ter. Keep the head raised. with an
cecap applied to il. or. If you have no
zap, use cold congresses or ice in a
towel Keep the baby in the bath five
minutes. At the end of this time wrap
I in n warm blanket and summon a
physician. The hot water is used to di-
ate the blood vessels. and in doing this
he blood is brought from the brain to
he body. =
Difficulty sometimes is found in clean
ng successfully raised leather blotters
and frames. Brown shoe polish, which
is employed, is apt to darken
he leather. much as it does in the mat
ter of footgear. Turpentine. however.
IAN be used safely as a polisher, and
IAN be applied over and over again
without any i'll effects being noticeable,
while it effectually removes any stains
which may disfigure the leather. After
rubbing on the turpentine little crude
Dil should be applied vigorously with a
piece of flannel. the object being to rem
Ter the leather soft and plable; tur-
Dentine. unless counteracted by oil, has
he effect of hardening it to certain
extent. After this has been done a sof:,
lean cloth should be used as polish
.r. and the surface rubbed gently back
ward and forward till the requisite shin,
has been attained.
Children's delight in noise should not
De stopped altogether, as it is a natural
instinct. 1t should be curbed, not pro-
libited.
Avoid cold drinks with meals unless
he stomach is sufficiently strong to re-
lct quickly. If not. digestion is retard
ID. for no food can be digested unless
he temperature of the stomach is at SO
degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid eating those
hings which create an undue thirst
Food needs careful study in Summer.
While it is necessary to take sufficient
punishment TO replace what the body
oSeS from the excessive heat, it shoulI
70 remembered that fatty foods altho

nd should therefore only be eaten in
Light meals with cereals.
