Vomiting.-A bottle-fed baby should
not Vomit If its food is pure and pro
perry adjusted to its needs. If vomit-
lngs occur it Is usually a sign of ap-
preaching illness, either of one of the

Cioth1ng.-Do not put too much
clothing ION the baby in summer,
During the hottest weather remove
most of the clothes; a. thin loose shirt
and a diaper are sufficient during the
day and ON very hot nights.
Never use clothing made with tight
wristbands. Petticoats and skirts
should be supported by straps over
the shoulders.
!, Bathing.---Bathe the baby every
day. n hot weather quick sponging
all over later in the day will give
somfort and make him sleep better.
