WOMEN OF BELGIUM
LOSE NEWEST HATS
SOLDIER STYLES FORBIDDEN AND
CONFISCATED BY GERMANS.

BERLIN, Feb. PA Tageblatt dis
patch from Brussels Via London)
says:
THE latest craze in millinery-Bel-
gian soldiers caps-attained such
great popularity that the German auth
critics have had to confscate the new
style of headgear from hundreds Of
women and to forbid their further use
for the time being. The soldiers wives
and sweethearts had discarded the
flags and other national color adorn-
ments they formerly wore and adopted
the hats of the cavalrymen and carab-
ineers which they tilted at rakish
angle. The fad thereatened to create q
public nuisance, as the wearing of the
hats by the women caused outbursts of
patriotic enthusiasm at every turn. The
women took the confscation good nat
uredly, the milliners being the only
ones to grieve."

LABOR unions
BALk At Plan
SECRETARY WAR
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Feb. 27,-The proposal 10
the trade unions made by H. ]. Ten
nant NJ P, under-secretary of war, that
the men help recruiting by allowing
women to take their places, is not re-
ceived with cordially by the labor
leaders. To give women temporary
jobs, they reply, would result in SER
ious industrial trouble when the men
were discharged from the army. Al
ready the encroachment of women up
on the work of men has caused the
trade unionists considerable uneasi-
ness. If the women were given the
jobs, another crisis, says the unions,
would arise at the end of the war be-
cause of their natural objection to be-
ing turned out; or, what is worse the
men having wives in the factories
would let them remain as the support
ers of the household.
Workmen have not hung back in the
present war, and while no exact figures
are available for all the trades, the
percentage of enlistments is known to
be high. The dock laborers have
quarter of their numbers in the army.
and out of 10000 steam engineers, 1000

There is no doubt that the prob
lens which arise in taking care of a
baby in summer are more difficult for
the city mother than for the one who
lives in a village or in the country.
Overcrowded houses, lack of fresh
air, of sunshine. and of open spaces
for play and outdoor life make very
hard conditions under which to try
to rear healthy children.
During the summer months in most
of the larger cities there is an enor-
nous increase in the number of sick
babies, many of whom fail to survive
this period. These well-known facts
have led to the esta blishment all over
the country Of what are known as in
FAINT welfare or milk stations. These
stations are rooms in charge of train
ed nurses and physicians, to which
any mother who desires may bring
her baby for help and advice in his
care.
The object Of these welfare stations
is to keep the babies well, and to pre-
vent illness by watching the babies
closely and by teaching the mothers
how to take care of them. If a baby
is found to be sick the mother is re-
ferred to her own physician If she
has one. If not, she is usually sent to
a dispensary. The principal factor in
keeping the baby we'll is to have him
properly fed. Accordingly the ply
stefan who cares for the baby should
direct this very carefully. II the moth
er has no physician. the station doctor
will examine the baby and order a
diet for him. The nurses will be glad
to assist the mother in following out
his directions. and will visit her in
her home for this purpose.
These stations are sometimes main
tanned by the city and sometimes by
a private society. The mother can find
out the location of the station near
est her home from the papers, or by
inquiring of the health officer.
The baby is weighed at each visit
and examined to see if he needs any
special care. If so. the doctor explains
this to the mother. The baby should be

tor and nurse can watch him. In this
way much of the illness from which
babies suffer can be prevented and
mothers and babies spared a great
deal of suffering.
The mother who is expecting the
birth Of a baby should go to the sta
ton about once a month during her
pregnancy for advice about herself.
The doctor and nurse will tell her
what food II is best for her to eat.
how to take care of the breasts and
nipples. and help her to prepare for
the baby's coming in the best way.
If she is suffering from any ailment,
such as vomiting, varicose veins, head
ache or swollen feet, she may learn
what to do for these troubles. and. If
she desires to go to a hospital for
the birth the station doctor will prob
ably be able to arrange the matter for
her.
After the baby is born and the
mother is up again. she may. il she
chooses. send word to the station
nurse. who will come to see her. now
and then. until the mother is able to
take the baby to the station again.
Mothers who are i'll or worn out
with the burdens of home. may find
in a visit with the baby to such a
station unexpected help in their prob
lens. Some effort is made to teach
mothers the rudiments of domestic
science in the home, when this is
needed.
Mothers especially who go out to
work by the day. should try to send
the baby to the station by care
taker, for such babies need the well
fare stations help even more than
others.
If some member Of the family is
sick. other than the baby, and the baby
is registered at the station. the
nurses and doctors there will usually
be able to advise her where and how
to seek assistance.
These infant welfare stations are
intended for the use of all mothers in
the neighborhood who need help in
the care of their babies. and no one
needing it, should fail to avail her
self of this opportunity.
