Lifting the Baby.

The Importance of handling and lift
ing Il baby properly is one That many
mothers, particularly those who are
young, seldom understand. Cllrvn-
ture of the spine or misplaced joints
may result from some of the pulling
and hauling done, sometimes uncnn-
sciously and again when in temper
10 tell q mother that,rSllc would in
jure her small child is to call forth
vehement denial. but the fact remains
that this is precisely what is likely
to happen.
+ can not say loo often that n baby
should be handled as little as possible,
but when he must be moved ii should
be so that the whole body and head re-
ceivc support, says the New York
Evening Telegram. An infants spine
is not strong enough to hold the head
unaided, and unless help is given it
will roll dangerously. 70 lift one
from bed put the left hand we'll under
the hip supporting the limbs. Let the
right hand go over and under his head
and neck, placing the head then gen.
tly on the bend of he arm. Never ,ul-
der any circumstances put the hands
under the armpls and raise him until
he is at least six months old.
10 change from tho arm to the
shoulder, as may be done when baby
is to be carried, pIacc the right hand
between the shoulders, bracing the
little head by the outspread fingers
The other arm supports the weight of
the body.
No baby is strong enough to sit up
alone until he is four months old No
matter how he may try and how able
he may seem. tn" strain on muscles
is too great ana should not be per-
mitted. When BEGINNING to sit he may
be put almost anywhere, but the back
must always be supported by soft
pillow
One Of the best ways OF strengthen
ing an infants limbs and one that nc
enjoys is to put INN on his back on a
big bed and allow him to kick for an
hour or more every day. This may be
begun when he IS two months old
From it's birth a baby should be turned
at an interval Of IN hour during the
day from one side to another in its
crib and when tho mother wakes at
night.

to this very smart corps of boys. Mill

the boys, and the rule that when the
boys reach the age Of 16 they must
