n p1eFicus talks we have had some
thing to say about care Of babies in
hot weather. This week we want to
tank about mix
All mothers understand that great
care must be taken ct al times in feed
ing the baby Also that It Is Of especial
importance that this be done during
the summer months The trouble Is
that 50 many mothers, and especially
young mothers. DO not know what Is
best to do This Is why the Depart
ment Of Health has had prepared the
circular, printed IN many languages.
which gives q great deal Of good ad-
vice on this subject.
As has already been explained IN
former talks. the baby's only article
Of diet Is milk. So, II TIE milk Is not
clean and wholesome, there Is sman
chance for the baby to live and thrive
as it should and as It has right to do.
The Department believes that If milk
is properly treated before being fed.
there WI be much less sickness
among the babies, and, as a matter Of
course material reduction Of the
number Of deaths during the miIk-feed-
ing period. It has been thoroughly
demonstrated that heating or past
curling the milk makes 1t more a.
eestible and therefore more easily as
simulated
For home pasteurization OF milk. the
following method is recommended:
Take a bottle Of milk with the cap
or stopper in It. just as 1t comes frOm
the miIkman. Place the bottle on a
saucer OF small plate In apan or boiler
filed with cold water, which should
come ND TO within two inches Of the
top OF the bottle. It should then be
placed over the IRE and allowed to re
main until the water around the bottle
begins 70 boii. Then take it OF the IRE
and set aside to cool
The water must not be allowed to
boil for any length Of time, and the
milk must be cooled in the water. the
entire process consuming about forty
or forty-hye minutes.
This treatment WIN destroy prac.
Ideally an the bacteria present, espec
tally the pathogenic ones. such As
typhoid bacini which we have care.
fully studied and have been able to
destroy by this method such bot
