Baby's Health.

The child who breathes with his
mouth open usually has some obstruc-
ton in the back of the nose or throat
which prevents him from breathing in
the proper way. Frequently the cause
is adenoids or enlarged tonsils and
sometimes both. A specialist should
be consulted without delay.
When the youngster comes down
with an attack Of indigestion the first
move toward a cure is to give the
bowels a complete clearing out with

Exercise For Young Mothers.

Exercise For Young Mothers.
Too many young mothers become SO
absorbed in the care of their babies
essential to their own health and hap
piness. says DR.. Edith B. Lowery.
Fresh air and exercise are indispen-
sable to the health of every woman.
Both are classed with the iuxuries in
many a mothers life. whereas they
should be looked upon as necessities.
Every mother should make it a point
to pass at least half an hour every day
in the open air and another half hour
doing something for her own pleasure.
If your work is drudgery you cannot
accomplish as much in given time
as you could if 1t were not so. A half
hours rest or change will give a wo-
man added energy so that she can at
tack her mountain of homework with
increased zeal.
Exercise and fresh air for the moth
baby also. A mother who is tired out
and suffering from oxygen starvation
cannot give her child the same care
that she could If she were in fit con-
dition. Any one who is worn out with
sleepless nights cannot expect her
brain to perform the same work as 1t
would if it had been rested.
The mothers work is never done. and
it seems as though there was no time
for exercise or pleasure. She cannot
find a stopping place where she 'can
leave her work for a few minutes.
