HERE ARE GOOD RULES
FOR CARE OF BABIES

Give the baby plenty OF fresh air
and sunlight. l have Il baby of my
own. seven months old. and it slept out
on the porch for several hours today.
The day is bright. clear and dry. and
1t did the baby good. But on a day
like yesterday ii should be kept in
doors.
abrupt changes in temperature
must be guarded against. Bodily heat
must be maintained by proper feeding
and proper clothing. and. if it is. the
baby can stand a reasonable amount of
baby is frail and weak. 1t must be
carefully protected against exposure to
extremes of temperature. The diet of
a delicate child should be directed by
a competent physician. and will not
be the same in different cases. For
and direct the feeding i'm each indi-
viduai case.
Dressing Babies In Winter.
I'VE are near to winter. and IA sub
ject of the utmost Importance lis the
dressing of the baby in cold weather.
1t houid have neither too much nor
too little clothing. The amount IL
hould have is governed by it's condi-
ton. 1t should always be warm tn the
touch. yet dry. Feel of it's body or
legs. II they are cold. put ON more
clothing. II 1t is so warm il %perspires.
take some off. But it is better for 1t to
be cool and dry han hot damp.
And. furthermore. keep it's clothing
loose. The old fashioned way was to
bind the baby up tight. Now a baby
must kick and keep in motion if it is
healthy and will grow. If fl does not
keep moving. 1t is not healty. III it
does then 1t must nave absolute free
dom. go that it will not tire.
Frequent warm baths at night are
necessary. This keeps the skin clean
and the pores active. hat they may
carry OF poisonous matter. After the
warm bath. the baby should be placed
in a warm bed and above to sleep. A
quick sponge bath with cool water can
be given to children two years old or
more each morning. This bath should
be ollowed by a brisk rub with a
ough w This will invigorate it
and prevent he development of catar-
rhal conditions.
Should Have Own Bedroom.
From the earliest age the baby
should ave it's own bedroom and not
sleep in the same room as it's parents
or in II room that has been used during
the day. The room should be airy.
easily ventilated and dry. For infants
the temperature should not be below
20 degrees. When the temperature out
side is below this, the room should be
heated. but the windows should be
partly opened. Freedom from dust
DIRT and dampneSS are essential.
Older children should be taught to
breathe deeply for chest development.
Ii symptoms of cold or cough or sore
throat develop. call a physician at once
and check 1t. In this way acute ca
tarrhal troubles may often be checked

declared Cy dc Vry. keeper of the zoo.
When we turned the into
the big Gag there was II rush OH the
part OF the old ~'residenters' to look the
strangers over. At once there were
strange recognitions. Several pairs of
monkeys. with glad cries. rushed up
to n another and embraced affections
ately. some even kissing as they wound
their long tails together and chartered.
Several Of the African monkeys
found new arrivals who had previously
been kidnapped by animal hunters In
the dark continent. The p%arvenus and
Chicago animals would get together
and exchange chatter for all the world
