WEIGH AND MEASURE
THE BABY EACH WEEK

ITO weigh new born infant once a
week until the age of five or six
weeks has been reached is one OF
the most important features in determin-
ing whether babes health and strength
are being developed.
For it is only by knowing whether the
little one has increased in weight that
it is possible to tell whether the food is
agreeing and that the baby is thriving as
he should. If in a nominally healthy
state a child should double its weight in
six months and treble 1t in a year. Should
he fail to increase in this proportion from
month to month something is wrong
about the nourishment. If a breast-fed
baby he must be given additional feed
inss from bottle: and If bottle in
FAINT the food should be made stronger
or changed to his needs.
If this monthly gain Is not shown it is
to be regarded as most serious condi-
ton. for child's bones and muscles are
then IN process Of building. and it is
strong material of which they should be
made.
A Pound Each Month.
A pound increase month during the
first year is what baby should show to be
in a thoroughly satisfactory condition.
and during the second year when growth
is less rapid. it must make at least twelve
ounces gain every month. 1t is not
enough that he shall be fat the flesh
must be of firm quality. produced by
giving nourishfng food properties.
For strength, give toward the last Of
the first year. when teething begins, a
little lime Put this in the form of water,
and the child will drink 1t readily.
Some specialists. when growth has not
been normal up to the teething period,
recommend giving teaspoonful of lime
water three times in twenty-four hours
while the teeth are coming. This min
eral. of course, directly feeds and har-
dens the bones. but they should not be
forced in this direction.
Small Babies Measured.
AS we'll as weighing baby must be
TO show if he is developing pro-
portionately:
During the first year he should grow al
most three-quarters of an inch every
month. and during the second the aver
age should be half an inch a month
1t will do no harm If he falls slightly
under this measurement sometimes, as
long as he makes it up the month fol-
lowing.
II he does not some change shou.u be
made in his food of treatment.
To have baby show tremendoE; growth
each month is not desirable. for it indi-
Gates a certain forcing through feeding
that will weaken him in other ways.

TO AVOID ANNOYANCE
WHEN TRAVELLING ALONE

A WELL-BRED woman is never an
n noyed when travelling alone. be-
cause she does nothing to make
herself conspicuous, and IL she needs di-
rection or aid she does not apply to
strange fellow-travelers. but 70 uni
formed man connected in some capacity
with the place in which she finds herself.
Under no consideration whatever should
a woman address a strange man unless
it be civilly to answer a question or COM
ment on his part. But her response
should be made in such manner as to
check further advances from him.
Use Road Officials.
Any conversation with strangers is I'M
necessary. for in the well-equipped trains
of the present there is always some Of
fetal who can do for her or answer need
full inquiries. a brakeman will know
whether the train stops at the station TO
which the woman wishes to go. He. TOO.
will open window or ventiator should
traveller wish this done. If a fellow
traveller offers to open a window it is
not necessary to refuse severely. This is
such a common courtesy that it is usually
accepted and the person thanked. that
being the end of the matter. 1t is easy
to tell from the mans manner whether
he is doing it to open conversation or
merely to offer common courtesy.
Call on Porter for Service.

is the. porter to fetch and carry. and he
should be called upon for such service.

Rats. PLAGUE carrlera of India.

Rats, Plague Carriers of India.
Before plague makes its appearance
in house the rat mortality generally
gives warning and q case occurs
among the people in a house near
which rats have been found. The peo-
pie have now come to know that there
is some connection between the rat
mortality and the occurrence of
plague cases in certain locality. The
rats so about from one place to an
other and they carry infection from
place to place and render the task Of
controlling plague, when it is once
spread, very difficult. It therefore
necessary that the public should co
operate with the health department to
destroy as many rats as possible. The
rains have now stopped, and, as 1t is
the breeding season for rats, the pres
ent is the fittest occasion for a cam
paign against rats.-Bombay Gazette.
