sAeY's SECOND SUMMER.


The constant care we must give
the baby fro mits birth must not
be relaxed for single moment UNI
til it's second summer is safely
past. In fact, if such a thing can
be possible, it must be even more
carefully watched during that time,
in the matter of proper food and
clothing.
Some of the teeth have been cut,
the large double teeth are begin
ming to come through at that time,
and the stomach of the youngster
is very easily deranged. The
| mother must avoid over feeding,
and must give the baby only the
. simplest food. Its milk must be
| set on the stove and brought al.
most to the boiling point--not quite
and kept at that temperature at
least 10 minutes. 1t must not boil
as boiled milk is very hard to
digest.
When the milk is cool, it must
be kept covered on ice, or If ice is
not accessible. where cool water
| can be kept running over it.
Occasionally part of baked GUS
tard, made with one egg, cup of
milk and a tablespoonful of sugar,
can be given, when milk alone does
not satisfy. A graham cracker now

| The garments should be judiciously
changed according to the weather,
with the exception of the little
band of wooden cloth over the alb
domen, which should always be
worn.
| Avoid overlooking and keep the
little abdomen warm. These two
rules will do more toward helping
you fight the diseases incident to
the second summer of baby than
any medicine you can give it.
In the hottest days of the sum-
mer the bowels will be loose at
| times. Don't be alarmed unless the
| simple home remedies fail to cor
