tains simple directions for the care and
feeding Of the baby. and suggests some
ways of dealing with various emer-
gencies
The healthy baby usually has one or
two bowel movements a day II this
number Is increased to four or more
1t is time to take measures against sick
ness.
1t is well to remember, however. that
the bowel movements of a baby fed en-
tirely at the breast are normally more
frequent than those OF bottle-fed baby,
and that slight increase in the nHm-
Der OF movements Is not so serious
matter to a baby at the breast as to
one artificially fed. A baby fed at the
breast does not usually have diarrhea
and when a baby shows signs of diges-
tive disturbance, is is usually because
he is over-fed-either he is nursed too
often. or at irregular intervals. or is al
lowed to nurse too long at one time
When he does have diarrhea, the time
between musings should be increased to
four hours, and the time at the breast
reduced to five or ten minutes. II the

bowels continue loose. the breast should
be withdrawn entirely for several feed
ings. il necessary. giving the baby in
stead cool drinking water at frequent
intervals. In this case. the mother should
pump her breasts at the regular nurs-
ing times. both to keep them from dry
ing up, and to prevent their cakins.
Bottle-fed babies are the most fire.
quent. sufferers from summer diarrhea.
and this fact furnishes another strong
argument in favor of breast feeding.
Diarrhea in a bottle-fed baby is also
best treated by reducing the amount of
food. The bottle should be omitted for
eight. twelve or twenty-four hours. ac-
cording to the severity of the attack,
and in place of the milk should be
given as much boiled and cooled water
as the baby will take.
Food should not be withheld for
more than twenty-four hours, without
the advice of doctor. When the bot
tie Is resumed, the food should be
much weaker than before; water
should be substituted for at least half
the milk previously given. The milk
should be SKINNED, and the sugar
omitted.
The return to the former feeding
should be made gradually by adding
a little more milk each day and be-
ginning to add sugar. The more Sc
we're the attack has been. the more
slowly should changes be made.
If the baby is on mixed feeding.
that is, partly breast and partly bot
tie fed. the bottle feelings should be
omitted if diarrhea appears. and the
breast given once in four or five hours,
with nothing but drinking water be-
tween meals
Diarrhea is much more frequent in
July and August than in the cooler
months of the year, which fact has
earned for II the name of summer
complaint" Accordingly the mother
should use every means in her power
during the hot weather to keep the
baby cool. In the heat of the day
the baby should wear only a diaper,
with possibly one other thin garment.
Frequent cool spongings and at
least one full tub bath each day, plen-
ty Of sleep. and a constant supply of
fresh air will help to protect the baby
from the excessive heat. and keep him
we'll. Directions for this health care
of the baby in summer have already
been given in this series of articles.

While a great deal of criticism has been brought against the legislature for what it has accomplished, 1t Is known to be a fact that the leaders have frowned upon every effort to inject the trivial. the piea- yunish, the demagogie the irritatingly small.
 The leaders would not have the domi- nant faction attempting now 10 solve the problems of judicial taxation, and prison reformation, acquire the reputation of be- ing radical, revolutionary, anarehistic and iconoclastic, and 1t Is safe prediction that respecting Greek letter fraternities, this state will not be permitted to follow in the wake of such an enlightened and progressive commonwealth as Respondent Mississippi

ACCOUNTS IN FINE SHAPE
Dr. J. s. Jackson, Financial Secretary A. M. E. Church, Complimented

The financial department of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, negro institution of wide reputation, has just had it's accounts audited by the auditing board of that denomination, and the show ing is that nearly s4o0,0o0 has been handled from June 1. 1912, to June 30, 1915, and the church is found in good condition.
 The department is headed by Dr. J. s. Jackson, whose residence is In Brming- ham, southern negro, born and reared ill Alabama
 The A. M. E. Zion church is perhaps the only negro church organization whose financial department is in the south. While there is not a great deal of noise made about the department, it is one of the strongest institutions operated in the city and by far a greater financial venture than any operated by negroes. The auditing board Is composed of such men as Bishop J. w. Alstock. Montgom- cry; Bishop J. s. Caldwell, Philadelphia; Bishop A. Walters, New York city; Bishop G. l.. Blackwell, Philadelphia; the Rev. G. c. Clement. editor of the Star of Zion, Charlotte; the Rev. w. L. Hamlin, Mont gomery; the Rev. w. M McGee, A. B., Selma;- Dr. T. J. Moppins Birmingham, and the Rev. J. T. Jones, Montgomery. Those who audited the accounts reported that Dr. Jackson has made a most profit able secretary and his records are all clean and neatly kept
 The auditors expressed pleasure at being in Birmingham and noted the progress of white and negro citizens.
 Dr. Jackson received many congratula- tions for the work in his department.
