4 Summer Boon.

Upon a summers day.
The modest block | keep in stock
Helps out in wondrous way.
If lemonade is being made
Or something else to drink,
You chip the ice and in q trice
Enjoy its merry clink.
piece of ice may well suffice
To cheer men who feel punk.
With pride each day do l survey
My little Scent chunk.
Mrs. NJ. f. Hazen will entertain
at cards this afternoon, at her home
on South Middle street.
Warm weather is dangerous per-
iod for children and all mothers
dread the summer for their little ones.
AS the weather grows warmer and
warmer, fewer and lighter clothes
should be worn by the baby.
So many mothers have a mistaken
idea that flannel bands must be kept
around baby's abdomen, next to the
skin, no matter what the weather.
The treatment is not only wrong,
but actually cruel.
To keep flannel next to the young
sensitive skin when the weather is
so hot that every turn of the lit le
body against the flannel causes severe
irritation is almost barbarous. Yet
how many mothers believe in it?
There are fewer each year, for which
VIC should be grateful but still there
are left a large enough number of
such deludcd mothers to keep a
great many babies in comparative
torture during the summer time.
The little body should feel nothing
but the shecrcst, softcst materials
next to it. When it is very hot the
young baby may be totally undrcsscd,
except for his little shirt. During
the hottest hours of the day the
little one should be placed on u
wide bed dressed in this garb, or
rather lack OF gar5, and allowed to
play or sleep until the sun is setting
