Summer Suggestions
 For Baby's Mother
Seasonab1e Advice on the Health of Children in
 Hot Weather

No one requires as much food in Summer as in Winter. Do not over- feed children during the hot weather. Serve only the lighter and more easily digested foods, and make sure the bowels keep normally active.
 Most of the troubles to which chii- dren seem particularly susceptible in Summer have, their origin in con- stipated condition. The first care of the mother should be to see that the children are regular. At the first sign of a disposition to neglect this important function a mild laxative should be administered promptly, GAthartics and purgatiyese should never be given to children as they ere tarsh and violent in their action and tend to upset the entire system.
