Slrup STRAIGHT.

Announcement is made Of the incor-
poration at Albany of the American
Posture league. a national body whose
endeavor will be TO get people to sit
up and stand up straight.
The new organization is concerned
particularly with the sitting and stand
ing pastures of children in schools and
of adults in shops, offices, factories and
elsewhere. 1t hopes to effect more
general use of scientific and healthful
principles in seating accommodations
for such purposes and for public audi
,ence rooms and vehicles.
"A child cannot achieve proper chest
development" is its authoritative
statement, while the shape of his
school seat and of his coat force him
for many hours each day into faulty
attitudes Thousands of children who
carry heavy loads of school books are
forced into distortions of posture that
in all but the most robust must have
a serious effect on health and develop
ment. Round shoulders are to be ex.
pecled in child whose clothing is sup
ported without proper regard for the
anatomy and mechanics of the shout

relieve tuberculosis, anaemia and NAL

these various conditions has ever been
made before.

summer, that perspires Is overdressed
The restless baby should have night
gowns with shaped feet. And all babies
should have blankets of their own. soft
and light in weight.
The next article will deal with the
bath and general habits of cleanliness
for the child.
CLEANLINESS FOR THE BABY.
Cleanliness is one of the founda-
ton stones on which Is reared the
beautiful structure of baby's good
health and good temper. When 1t Is
neglected, all sorts of weaknesses, dis
comforts and limitations creep in.
Uncleanliness invites disease and
furnishes lodging place for germs.
Moreover the baby that starts off life
by being comfortable through cleanli-
ness forms Clearly habits which it new
err loses. Whenever mother tells me
that she can't keep her three or four
year old baby clean, that 1t simply
attracts dirt wherever 1t goes, what
ever 1t does, wonder how she started
1t off at birth. And I have noticed
at betCcT BABIES contests that many
minor defects, small ailments can be
traced by the examining physicians di-
rectly to carelessness on the part of
the mother.
Preparations for keeping the baby
clean start before he is born. In a
drawer or basket covered from dust,
should be placed number of old, soft
clean towels, a thoroughly washed and
dried piece of soft WOODEN blanket or
outing flannel, roll Of sterilized
gauze, at least half pound in guam
tity, and the same of sterilized absorb
ent cotton, a bottle OF olive or cotton
seed or sweet-oil, small package Of
boric acid, some pure white soap or
the best CASTLE, and box of talcum
powder.
A trained nurse Of long experience
in maternity cases tells me that the
modern doctor looks flrst to the new
born baby's eyes. Science has proven
that a large proportion of men and
women who are blind owe the affliction
to Eek Of care at birth. The eyes are
easily infected at that time, and blind
ness Is the inevitable result

SAVING THE SONG BIRD.

Each year as the number of native
song birds decrease, agitation for their
protection and preservation grows and
it is to be hoped that eventually the
number of feathered songsters will be-
gin increasing again rather than d.
minishing.
Preservation of the song and insect
eating birds has long been talked. but
it has remained for Davenport to or
ganize a, society which will actively
work along this line. The academy OF
sciences of that city has taken charge
Of the campaign. This organization
proposes to encourage the nesting OF
the birds. With that end in view
contest will he held and prizes given to
the children who will build and most
successfully place bird houses. In the
course Of few years it is expected
that the bluebird and wren will again
be living in our midst.
The campaign includes the extermin-
alton of the English sparrow. This bird
Is declared to be usurper OF The

Clothes.
CONTINUALLY

The outing flannel gowns are for
sleeping. They are open down the
front like kimono. A more expen-
sive' substitute for outing flannel is
the stockingette nightgowns.
There is nothing better than soft
cheese cloth for baby's first diapers.
Later the average mother finds birds
eye more satisfactory than cotton fan
mel. There are many patent diaperings
on the market. Avoid all those made
with an interlining or one surface of
rubber. For first diapers, good ma
terial is old soft Turkish toweling. In
this connection, it may be said that 1t
is safer to wash all of baby's clothing
before it is worn In this day of mer-
cerized and treated fabrics there
may be chemicals used in bleaching,
etc, that will injure the tender flesh
and start case of eczema.
These articles will keep the baby
comfortable until he Is three months
of age, when a few more elaborate
slips and prettier coat may be added
to his outfit, with perhaps nainsook
petticoat or two. But everything
should be simple, loose and hung from
the shoulders. Nothing should inter.
fere with his digestion, breathing and
motions. The baby bound at any point
of his small anatomy will fret.
Never use on the newborn baby new
diapers that have not been thoroughly
washed to remove all the dressing" in
the fabric. If possible have old materi.
ais for the first diapers, or cheese cloth
washed soft. Babies chafe SO easily
in the first few weeks of their lives.
The care of the baby's clothing is all
important. 1t must be kept scrupu.
lousy clean, and washed with clean
water and pure white soap. Diapers
should not be dried and then used a
second time. Directly they are re.
moved they should be dropped into an
enameled or stone pail of water, kept
for the purpose, and washed out every
day. Flannels carelessly washed will
shrink and inflame tender skin. Slips
not properly rinsed In washing, will
irritate the flesh at neck and wrists
and under the arms.
In hot weather baby should be
dressed accordingly. for comfort. A
cotton shirt should be substituted for
