CARE OF THE BABY
 IN THE SUMMER
Feeding the Baby During the Sec
 Ond Summer.

Nothing is so dangerous to a baby's health as wrong feeding; nothing so Important to his healthy development as proper feeding.
 For the first nine months, breast milk is the only food baby should have, except a little pure drinking water. If tho breast milk is not suf- fcient, it may need to be supplement- ed, as directed in a previous article of this series, with properly prepared cows milk given in bottle.
 For the baby between 9 and 12 months of age, certain foods may be carefully added to this diet, list of which was given in the preceding ar ticle.
 For healthy baby at the beginning of its second year, the same diet may be used and as the child grows var ious foods may be added. He may now take undiluted cows milk, and well-cooked cereals twice day, in ad- dition to fruit juice, broth and died bread.
 At 15 months he may have a little rare beef, or well-cooked chicken or mutton. Meat for baby should be broiled, roasted or boiled, never fried and should be given to the baby scrap ed or finely minced.
