BABYS DANGER PERIOD
ESPECIAL CARE REQUIRED FROM
MAY TO OCTOBER.
Thoughtful Mother May DO Much to
Protect Infant From Summer H.
nsss-.slmpIe Rules That Must
Be Observed.

Prepared by the chidren'r Bureau. u. 8.
Department OF Labor.)
From May to October the baby must
be guarded with special care. II he is
To escape the dangers which lurk
about him In the hot days OF sum-
mer.
II is estimated that OF the many
thousands OF babies who die every
summer. principally in July and Au-
gust, half might have been saved,
since summer diarrhea may often be
prevented with suitable care,
II is caused. In a large number OF
cases, by mistakes In the method OF
feeding, or by using impure milk, or
other unsuitable dangerous foods, or
by overheating the baby with too
much clothing,
The careful and thoughtful mother
may do much. therefore, TO protect her
baby from this Illness, by avoiding, as
far as possible, its various causes.
Throughout this series OF articles,
mothers have been urged to observe
certain simple rules for the health OF
the baby In summer. These rules re-
quire:
/. That the baby shall be fed on
proper food in proper quantities at
proper intervals.
2. That he shall have no food be-
tween meals, but shall have plenty OF
pure, cool drinking water.
8. That he shall be kept as cool as
possible by fresh air, plenty OF
baths, and very little clothing.
4. That he shall be protected from
flies and mosquitoes.
II these rules are faithfully carried
out many cases of summer diarrhea
will be prevented. II, however, the
disease appears, the city mother
should at once consult her doctor, or

II she has no physician, take her baby
to the nearest infant welfare station
where competent physicians will ad
wise her with regard to the care Of the
| baby and trained nurses will assist
her in carrying out his directions. II
is Of great Importance to take the dis
ease inlits flrst stages, a. mild form
Of the disease readily becomes q Sc
rionS one.
In the country, where It 10 very diff
flcult to get the advice Of doctor,
the mother has harder problem. Be-
cause she 10 out Of the range Of In
FAINT welfare stations, hospitals, and
often of physicians az well, II 10 most
important to prevent every attack OF
illness possible by careful attention to
the baby's food and general care, as
already advised in these articles.
II the baby is still at the breast,
one or two nursings should be omit
ted. and only pure. cool water given
in its place. Meanwhile the mothers
breasts should be pumped at each
usual nursing time to prevent their
drying up.
Bottle-fed babies are much more
likely to be the victims Of summer
diarrhea. When this happens, the bot
tie should be omitted for eight, twelve
or twenty-four hours, according to the
severity of the attack. Do not, how.
ever, keep food from the baby longer
than twenty-four hours, except on the
advice Of q physician. When the bot
tie is resumed, the food should be
much weaker than before; at least, half
of the milk previously given should
be substituted by water. The milk
should be skinned, and sugar should
be omitted. The return to the for
mer feeding should be made gradual
ly, adding little more milk each day,
and beginning to add sugar. The more
severe the attack has been. the more
slowly should changes be made.
II the baby is on mixed" feeding,
that is, partly breast and partly bot
tle-fed, the bottle feelings should be
omitted II diarrhea appears, and the
breast given once in four or i've hours,
with nothing but drinking water be-
tween meals.

NFANANNA--A
The death summons has again
been served on one OF our number.
Fairly Sunday morning. Aug. 8.
1915. sister Pyke was called higher
after months of great suffering,
caused by cancer.
Florence Nevada Wonn was born
near Industry. Kans., June 10, 1880
and died at her late home In ABB
lane. Aug. 8, 1915, age "a years, ]
month. 2s days.
She was married to Samuel f.
Pyke Nov. 25. 1906. This union
waa blessed with three children and
one child from a former marriage
made her the mother OF 4 children,
to whom she was mother indeed.
Few have the ability to manage and
rear children under adverse eondi-
tions as sister Pyke possessed,
Their religious and educational
training was in no way neglected
while lessons in industry were tact
fully taught. She was a true wife
mother, making her q home builder
indeed. About years ago she was
happily converted to God in a re-
viyal meeting held in the M. L.
church and soon RfterwRrd united
with the Evangelical church to
which she remained faithful unto
death; proving herself worthy of
Christian fellowship in the church
of her choice.
Sister Pyke was very patient dur
ing her long, severe seige OF suffer
ing. She bore 1t all with Christian
fortitude, praying much to God to
help to bear 1t. She assured her
pastor again and again that her
faith was firmly fixed in God, say
ing, "His will be DONE" She has
gone to her reward and her works
do follow her. She leaves husband,
four children, her aged parents, and
one sister, (oneN brother and one
sister having preceded her in DEATH
10 mourn her departure. May God
comfort and help the bereft in this
time of sorrow, and grant all hap

The agitation for the passage of
this legislation, so necessary for the
economic protection of the workers,
will continue. From several indus
trial centers there has recently come
the information that industrial plants
and mines and other establishments
are working full time with the full
complement of workers, and yet thou
sands are unemployed. What is the
meaning of this? That there are in
the United States more workers than
can find work to do. This is the
meaning of the unemployment prob
lem that is IAN ever present menace
to the welfare of the workers and an
obstacle to the attainment of better
conditions. The duty of our nation
is to protect its own workers. This
protection the workers have repeat
eddy asked in immigration restric-

the thinking citizens who have read
the Burnett bill and have studied i'm

endorse Labor's position. Organized
labor will continue to urge it's de-
