A baby must be kept as cool as pos
sible in summer, because overheating
is direct cause of summer diarrhea
Even breast-fed babies find it hard to
resist the weakening effects of exces
sive heat. Records show that thou
sands of babies, most of whom are bot
tle-fed, die every year in July and
rect effects of the heat. Next in i'm
portance to right food in summer are
measures for keeping the baby cool
and comfortable; frequent baths, light
clothing, and the selection of the
coolest available place for him to play
and sleep.
A baby should have full tub bath
every morning. If he is restless and
the weather is very hot, he may have
in addition one or two sponge baths
a day. A cool bath at bedtime some
times makes the baby sleep more
comfortably. For a young baby the
water should be tepid, that is, it
should feel neither hot nor cold to the
mothers elbow. For an older baby it
may be slightly cooler. but should not
be cold enough to chill or brighten
him.

Children in the War Zone

Although it is hard to believe that
tiny little children are now under fire
and are tramping back and forth be-
tween the trenches until the soldiers
hearts stand still with fear for them,
this is happening all the time in
northern France.
The children-mere babies, some of
them-bring milk and coffee, ciga-
rettes and candy, together with all the
resources of farm and village store.
And they are always merry and light
hearted, even when the shells are
bursting around them on every side
Were shot to bits, but we take
things as they come" said a little O.
year-old French girl optimistically.
THE only thing that troubles us is
grannie's rheumatism. You see, we've
only got half a roof now, for a shell
blew the rest off. The rain pours in,
so We all sleep in the cellar."
This apparent Indifference to the
horrors of war is a perpetual source
of amazement to the British soldiers
They watch aged peasants tilling the
soil over which shells are bursting
and bombs exploding, and they mar
vel at the calm indifference shown by
these old country folk. The farm
work goes on despite prOjectiles
which blow a house into the air and
leave a pit in which you could bury
"a dozen horses The old fellow is at

and you may see the children playing.
the old men working in the fields and
the mothers washing the soldiers
clothes or performing various tasks
around the remnants of the home.
The village street Is scanned and
mined with yawning pits where high
explosive shells have dropped. The
ground is covered with dead horses,
cows, pigs and-alas. human beings.
For the pitiless hail of shrapnel knows
no difference.
In one little church, which has be-
come the ruin of it's former self and
is now mere heap of stones and
splintered wood, one finds the children
playing at the altar. their little peck
cts bullying with souvenirs
cartridges, caps and belts, letters and
photographs.
Yes, there are people still in these
French villages. Over the terrible
litter of dead men, twisted bayonets,
blood-stained rifles and barbed wire
/ the children are driving the COWS to
pasture, while around them rings the
thunder of the cannon and above them
goes the whizzing of the death-dealing
shells!

but you will have to CO."
1t was long way to the doctors
house, and there was not a single soul
, on the streets, for it was very late.
Before Fritz was half way there a big
black dog ran out at him and Fritz
had to jump up small tree to keep
from being bitten. But the big dog
stood at the foot and parked at him
and would not let him come down.
Just then something went futtering
by; it was Mingo, the king Filter
mouse. "Oh! Mingo." cried Fritz,
"can you not help me?"
Indeed; l will help you; remem-
Der how you saved my life," exclaimed
little Flitter-mouse I'm little. but
my teeth are sharp"
Then he swept down and caught the
big dog by the tip of his tail and lit
!, lie Flitter-mouse just held on as tight
IS he could, biting and hallooing for
his little subjects to come and help.
And out of the darkness they came bv
dozen; and they bit and snapped at
the dog, who couldn't catch them be-
cause they were so swift, you know,
until at last he ran away as hard as
he could, yelping and bowling. Fritz
stopped crying and commenced to
laugh, 1t was SO funny.
Then he slipped down out of tha
tree and hurried to the doctors house,
but before he got there all the little
Flitter-mice with Mingo in the lead
came flying up and told him how thew
had chased the bad dog under a hocsc
we will go along with you Fritz"
said Mingo, land if any dog bothers
you we will make him sorry" So
Fritz got to the doctors house all
safe, and sent him right off to his i'll
sister. Then, when he started back.
the Flittermice flew along with him;
and when any dog would rush out at
Fritz they would fly at him with their
sharp little teeth and send him velp-
ing home; Fritz forgot how far it was
and how cold, to, he was, so busy was
he laughing at the Flitter-mice chas-
ing the bad dogs. They enjoyed it,
too, for they were glad to do some
thing for Fritz, who had saved the life
of Mingo, the king Filter mouse.
They went along with Fritz until he
was safe inside his house. and then
his mother told him that the doctor
had come and given little sister some
thing that was making her quite well.
But if the doctor had not come
when he did," said Fritz's mother,
little sister might have died"
you must thank Flitter-mouse for
that" said Fritz, modestly; and then
he told her about how he and his lit
tie subjects had kept the dogs away
and how long time he had saved
the life of the king Flitter-mouse.

should be patted dry, and the mother
should take great care to see that the
folds and creases of the skin are dry.
Use a little pure talcum powder or
sifted corn starch under the arms and
in the groin to prevent chatting. If any
redness, chatting, or eruption like
prickly heat, develops on the skin, no
soap at all should be used in the bath
Sometimes a starch, or bran, or soda
bath will relieve such conditions.
Bran bath-Make a little bag of
cheesecloth and put cupful of ordi-
nary bran in it and sew or tie the
top Let the bag soak in the bath,
squeezing it until the water is milky.
Starch bath-Use a cupful of ordi-
nary cook starch to a gallon of wa
ter. Qf the laundry starch has had
anything added to it, such as salt,
lard, oil, bluing, it must not be used
for this purpose)
Soda bath-Dossolve a tablespoon
full of ordinary baking soda in little
water and add it to four quarts of
water.
Clothinu-Do not be afraid to take
off the baby's clothes in summer. All
he needs in hot weather are the diaper
and one other garment. For a young
baby this may be a sleeveless band
which leaves the arms and chest bare,
and for an older baby, only loose
thin cotton slip or apron, or wrapper,
made in one piece with short kimono
sleeves Toward nightfall when the
day cools, Or if the temperature drops
when a storm arises, the baby should,
of course, be dressed in such way
as to protect him from chill.
Cotton garments are best for the
baby in summer. All-wool bands,
skirts, and stockings should not be
worn at any time of the year. and in
hot summer weather only the thin
nest, all-cotton clothing should touch
the baby's skin, unless he is sick,
when very light part-wool band may
be needed In general, neither wool
nor starch should be allowed in the
baby's clothing in summer. Wool is
too hot and irritating and starched
garments scratch the baby's flesh.
The baby should be kept day and
night in the coolest place that can be
found. The kitchen is usually the
hottest room in the house, especially
if coal or wood is burned for fuel
While the mother is busy with her
work the baby should be kept in an
other room, or better, out of doors, if
he can be protected from flies and
mosquitoes.
A play pen, such as is described in
Infant Care, booklet published by
the Children's Bureau and sent free
on request, makes Impossible to leave
the baby safely by himself on the
porch or in the yard, after he is old
enough to creep.
A screened porch on the shady side
of the house is boon TO every mother,
affording a cool, secure place for the
baby to play and also to sleep. Let
him have his daytime maps on the
porch and sleep there at night during
the heat.
Do not be afraid of fresh air for the
baby. He can not have to much of it.
Night air is sometimes even better
than any air, because it has been
cooled and eleansed of dust by the
dew.
The essentials in the summer care
of babies are:
/. Proper food, given only at reg
ular intervals.
2. A clean body.

The public had to arise in clamor of protest
before Loomis made an effort to wipe out the
rotten spot he had created. He never did COM

He has been discharged for misconduct. The

merely means of saving LOOMS open disgrace
The only complaint that Tacoma citizens can
make is that Chief Loomis has been allowed to
act as boss of the police department so long.
Loomis should have been fired two years ago,
but the council at that time lacked backbone.
