Don't forget that children's clothing
should be warm, but at the same time
light.
Don't forget that tight wooden under
garments are just as uncomfortable for
little folk as they are for "grown-ups. +"
Don't lift baby by the arms. A
child's bones and muscles are so deli
cate that lifelong injury may be done
by this means.
Remember, too, VIXEN taking a small
child for walk, to suit your speed
to his, and not vice versa. What may
seem quite a moderate pace to you may
be terrific strain on tiny legs.

Night Terror. of Children.

ed as evidence of i'll health. The con-
ditions producing night terrors in either
children or adults are usually of ali
mentary origin. 4 simple diet. two
meals day. consisting of breakfast
and early dinner. at least six hours be-
fore bedtime, with a proper amount of
exercise and not too much study, will
relieve most of those cases. Severe
cases, of course, demand particular
treatment. but generally night terrors
mean Indigestion.
