Notes For the Nuraarx..

Baby should not be set ON his legs
too soon. When he feels like It he
will start walking as naturally as any
other little animal does.
Peace at any price is the motto Of
the mother who resorts to the baby
comforter" None the less, to suck
n of thase comforts is a bad habit
difficult to break. and 1t Is as unhy-
gienie as 1t is objectionable.
Baby is much happier left in peace
to kick and crow In his cot than If he
is continually being handled, and the
constant nursing some mothers give is
merely gratifying to their WI sense
of possession and not comforting to
the child.
Oatmeal does not agree with every
child, and when it causes heat spots
its use should at once be discontinued.

a Hint to Mothers.

Children OF nervous te-mperaments
often become chilled and fretful dur
ing a bath. Try bathing the child first
to the elbows and waist line, then dry
ing quickly with a small Turkish tow
eli. Let the child sit in the water dur
ing this part OF the bath, SO that the
lower part of the body may be kept
warm. This keeps away chill, and the
bath can be finished In a moment, the
child remaining warm and comfortable
during the entire process. The prac-
tee can even be adopted with excel
lent results by grownups whose cir
culation is a trifie sluggish and who
experience the unpleasant after bath
chill.

it take you to carry your goods to
