LITTLE TALKS ON BABYOLOGY
ANNA sTEEsE RICHARDSON


In fact, there are women who love their
babies, yet so thoughtless as to leave
diapers soaking in the bath tub, where,
after a superficial rinsing off with
warm water, baby is bathed. Diapers,
all Of baby's clothing, in fact, should
be soaked and washed in separate
utensils, never in the bath tub.
The bathing of the baby each morn
ing should be a systematic process,
never done hastily or carelessly. There
should be = thermometer for the room
and one for the bath iHelf. The room
thermometer should register from rs
degrees to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. For
the first eight weeks OF the baby's
life, the bath thermometer should
show that the water is 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. From two months to six.
the temperature should be 80 degrees
Fahrenheit. From six months to
twenty -four, ii should register from IS
degrees to so degrees Fahrenheit.
The mother who desires TO insure
her baby good health should not
guess" at the temperature Of the
water, nor neglect the bath on busy"
days. Baby needs this thorough
cleansing as much at one year as a.
one month, and from that time on he
is forming habits and feelings which
demand cleanliness. There is such a
thing as educating a child TO endure
dirt, from sheer carelessness.
A baby should not be laid into the
tub and hastily sponged off. The oper-
alton starts with baby laid comfort
ably on a warm blanket, spread on
mothers knee First the face and
head are washed with clean gauze and
dried. II there is a tendency to scrun
or scales On the head, rub the head
every night with sweet-oil, yaseline or
cold cream, wash OF gently in the
morning and after drying, apply witch
hazel or alcohol and water IN equal
parts. Never use fine tooth comb to
remove these scales. When there IS
q tendency to persistent growth OF
scales CT milk crust, il may be neces-

NO ACTION TAKEN
BY CITY COUNCIL
ON THE PROTEST
Directors to Site for Tubercu.
losis Sanatorium Meet With
Commissioners.
THREATEN LEGAL ACTION
Claim That Discrimination Has Been
shown-Trustees Deny Danger
From Hospital.

'Is the city commission attempting
to discriminate against our part of
town" holly declared Attorney George
c. Wenger yesterday afternoon at the
weekly session OF the city commission
in protest against the location OF the
proposed municipal tuberculosis sana-
forum in the seven-acre trace be
tween Thirteenth and Fifteenth ave-
nues and Twenty-sixth and Twenty
ninth street.
MIR. Wenger was spokesman for
delegation OF property owners who
have interests near the site recently
purchased by the city for the hospital
for which an annual tax levy was vot-
ed several years. Mr.. Wenger inti
mated that an attempt would be made
to find some legal ground by which
the council could be forced to rescind
It's action in locating the institution
on the site chosen and IL this fails, to
start other litigation, perhaps an in
junction, in an EFFORT to block the plan.
The weekly session of the council
was turned into a CAB fest" between
opponents to the hospital site and the
members of the medical commission
who have charge OF the institution
After City Clerk NJ. 7. Rudgren had
read the petition protesting against
the action OF the commission in locat-
ing the hospital, Attorney George
Wenger was called on to open the dis
cussion and this he did with a ven
geance.

child can be gradually accustomed to
a cold shower douche. By reducing
the temperature of the rinse water a
trifle each night. until it is the tenn
perature at which it runs from the tap.
But always the warm bath should be
given first for cleansing the pores.
The cold water serves merely o stimu-.
late circulation and ward off colds.
The most important habits of clean
illness are inculcated in a child by the
mothers own care of the baby's dla.
pers. If the baby is kept dry and cean
from birth, he will fret when he is ct
and solled. And from fret ing over
discomfort from uncleanliness he will
grow into habits of cleanliness. lie
will learn regularity and self-control.
The careless, untidy mother has no
right TO expect nature TO provide her
with fine, healthy child He may
be well proportioned and healthy when
he comes in.o the world, but he will
soon lose strength and health II he Is
not kept clean. Badly rinsed clothing
causes eruptions, for the remains of
soap, sal soda aud I've irritate the
baby's skin. CareIessly washed diapers
cause chatting and nervous affections.
Eczema germs will find a lodgment in
inflamed creases that ought to be
dimpled, pink folds of healthy skin. A
dirty or scaly scalp itches, and itching
keeps the baby awake, making him
nervous and fretful.
| know mothers who spend hours
sewing on lace and embroidering ting
frocks. yet who hurry through the pro-
cess Of bathing. This is grave injus-
tice to the child.

cleanse it only with oil or cold cream.
Next, the eyes, nose, ears, and
genitals are washed with piece of
absorbent cotton, wet with solution
of borecic acid and water, a teaspoon
ful of the acid TO pint of warm water.
This absorbent cotton il then burned
or thrown away, never used again.
Now baby is thoroughly soaped, and

Of absorbent cotton is used to rinse off

is extremely easy to tear the delicate
lining of the mouth, and nature has
provided a cleansing element in the
saliva which gathers in the baby's
mouth.
The healthy baby will soon learn to
enjoy bath properly given and show
eagerness for H. The delicate baby
should be bathed under direction Of a
physician. He may order a sponge
bath only. or an oil rub. Children suf-
fering with any form of skin disease
should not be bathed unless the doctor
orders it, Eczema and ring-worm are
both aggravated by soap and water
bathing.
But the healthy baby should have
his morning bath between his O'Clock
and 9 O'Clock feeding Il sends him

When the baby is year old, the hour
Of bathing may be changed to $50 in
preparation for his nights sleep. In

applied the sterilized dressing TO the
cord. Then she rubs baby from head
to foot with the oil mentioned above,
rolls it up in the soft, warm blanket,
lays 1t on its right side and turns her
attention to the mother, feeling sure
that baby's eyes are safe from infec-
ton.
Later she gives the baby its first
sponge bath of warm water and pure
soap, taking infinite care not to dis
turb the dressing Of the cord. After
the bath she washes out baby's mouth
with gauze and a weak solution of
boric acid, and throws this piece of
gauze away. With a second piece of
gauze and more of the acid solution,
she then gives baby's eyes a second
washing, dresses him, feeds him and
tucks him away for his first sleep in
perfect cleanliness and perfect COM
fort. At first she use sterilized gauze
for all wash purposes, with old, soft
linen or toweling for drying. The
gauze is then burned, each towel wash
ed and dried before it is used again.
Later baby, when year old, has soft
wash rag and towels of his own, which
no one else is permitted to use, and
these are washed and dried as scrupu-
lousy as his clothing.
For a week, only the sponge bath is
given, baby lying on a bath blanket
on the nurses lap. After that IL he il
well and strong, he may be bathed in
a tub In households where there is
the regulation bathrooms this is a
simple matter. In other homes, a spe-
cial tub must be provided for the baby.
The enameled tub is the best, and It
must not be used for any purpose ex-
cept the baby's baths. II the family
tub is used, II must be cleaned scrupu-
lousy before baby is put into the
va-er. The skin Of the new born baby
is very tender and infection is always
at hand. At the Better Babies Con-
tests heard more than one physician
trace an eruption on a baby's skin to
careless bathing or care OF the tub.

NO. g. CLEANLINESS FOR THE
BABY.

NO. - CLEANLINESS FOR THE
BABY.
Cleanliness is one OF the foundation
stones on which is reared the beauti-
full structure of baby's good health
and good temper. When it is neg
lected, all sorts of weaknesses, dis
comforts and irritations creep in.
Uncleanliness invites disease and
furnishes a lodging place for germs.
Moreover the baby that starts off life
by being comfortable through eieanli-
ness forms Clearly habits which It
never loses. Whenever a mother tells
me that she can't keep her three or
four year old baby clean, that 1t sim
ply ATTRACTS dirt wherever II goes,
whatever it does. l wonder how she
started It off at birth. And have not
iced at Better Babies Contests that
many minor defects, small ailments
can be traced by the examining ply
siclans directly TO carelessness on the
part Of the mother.
Preparations for keeping the baby
clean start before he IL born. In a
drawer or basket covered from dust,
should be placed a number OF old, soft.
clean towels, thoroughly wash ] and
dried piece of soft wooden blanket or
outing flannel, a roll OF sterilized
gauEe, at least half a pound in guam
tity and the same s.erilZed absorbent
cotton, a bottle OF olive or cottoa-seed
OF sweet-oil. a small package of boric
acid. some pure white Gap or the best
CASTLE, and a box OF talcum powder.
A trained nurse of long experience
in maternity cases tells me that the
modern doctor looks first TO the new
born baby's eyes. Science has proven
that large proportion of men and
women who are blind owe the afflic-
ton to lack OF care at birth. The eyes
are easily infected az that time, and
blindness is the inevitable result
This nurse starts baby's career by
washing out his eyes very gently with
a piece OF gauze. dipped in a weak 50
