CARE OF THE BABY IN SUMMER
Prepared Paper by chIdrens DEP
Of

OF 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 sleeveless
band which leaves the arms and chest
bare, and for an older baby, only a
| loose thin cotton slip or apron, or
wrapper, made in one piece with short
kimono sleeves. Toward nightfall
when the day cools, or II the tempera.
ture drops when storm arises, the
baby should, Of course, be dressed in
such a way as to protect him from
chill.
Cotton garments are best for the
baby in summer. Atwood bands,
shirts, and stockings should not be
worn ct 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 cratch the baby's flesh.
The baby should be kept day and
found. The kitchen is usually the
SSPSSAs~~~S
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, IT
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

the baby to play and also to sleep.
Let him have his daytime maps on
the porch and sleep there at night dur
ing the heat.
Do not be afraid Of fresh air for the
baby. He cannot have too much of
it. Night air is sometimes even bet
ter than day air, because it has been
cooled and cleansed of dust by the
dew.
The essentials in the summer care
of babies are:
l. Proper food, given only at regu-
lar intervals.
2. A clean body.
3. Fresh air, day and night.
4. Very little clothing.
5. Cool places to play and sleep in.
Do not give the baby medicine of
any bOTC uIlleSS IL ~ OIueISu ny tu0
doctor Never give him patent reme-
dies which are said to relieve the
pain of teething, or to make him sleep,
or to cure diarrhsea, for such medi-
cines are likely to do the baby much
more harm than good, especially in
summer when the digestion is so cas-
lily disturbed. 1t is SO much easier to
keep the baby we'll, than it is to cure
him when he is sick, that wise moth
ers try to take such care Of the baby
that he will not be sick.
Do not fail to give the baby drink
of cool water several times day in
rot weather. Boil the water frst. then
cool it. and offer it to the baby in a
cup, glass, or nursing bottle. Babies
and young children sometimes suffer
cruelty for lack OF drinking water.
A screened porch on the shady side
of the house is boon to every moth
er, affording cool, secure place for
the baby safely by himself on the
porch or in the yard, after he Is old
enough to creep.

A baby must be kept as cool az
possible in summer, because over
heating is direct cause OF summer
diarrhea. Even breasted babies find
it hard to resist the weakening effects
of excessive heat. Records show that
thousands Of babies, most of whom are
bottle-fed, die every year in July and
August, because Of the direct or indf.
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 cool
est available place for him to play
and sleep.
A baby should have full tub bath
every morning. II 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 COM
fortably. For young baby the water
should be tepid, that is, it should
feel neither hot nor cold to the moth
er's elbow. For an older baby it may
be slightly cooler, but should not be
cold enough to chill or frighten him.
If the water is very hard table
spoonful of borax dissolved in little
water may be added to three quarts
of water to soften it. Very little soap
should be used and that very bland,
simple soap, like CASTLE Never rub
the soap directly on the baby's skin,
and be sure that it is thoroughly
rinsed off, as a very troublesome skin
disease may result if harsh soap Is
used or If soap is allowed to dry on
the skin.
Use a soft wash cloth made from a
piece of old table linen, towel knitted
underwear. or any other very soft ma
terial, and have two pieces, one for
the face and head and one for the
body. The towel should be soft and
clean also. Even in summer the baby
should be protected from a direct
draft when being bathel lest he be
too suddenly chilled.
young baby should be carefully
held while in the tub. The mother
puts her left hand under the baby's
left arm and supports the neck and
head with her forearm. But an older
baby can sit alone and in summer
may be allowed to splash about in the
cool water for a few minutes.
When the bath is finished the baby
should be patted dry, and the mother
should take great care to see that
the folds and creases Of the skin are
dry. Use little pure talcum powder
Or sifted corn starch under the arms
and in the groin to prevent chafing.
If any redness, chatting. Or eruption
like prickly heat, develops on the skin.
no soap at all should be used in the
bath. Sometimes starch, or bran,
or soda bath will relieve such condi-
tons
Bran bath.-Make a little bag OF
ckeesecloth and put cupful of ordin,
airy bran in it and sew or tie the top
Let this bag soak in the bath, squeez
ING, it until the water Is milky.
Starch bath.-Use a cupful Of or.
binary cooked starch to gallon OF
water. 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.-Dissolve a tablespoon
full of ordinary baking soda in little
water and add it to four quarts OF
water

CALLED IT YEAR
WITHOUT SUMMER
In 1916 Birds Froze In Their Nests and
Corn Failed to Mature Because
There Was no Warmth.

Magazine Of American History:
The year 1916 was called the year
without summer. AS the spring
time approached, nothing in the
weather Indicated the return of the
seed time. much less OF harvest.
Shows, heavy rains and cold winds
prevailed necessarily, and during the
entire season the sun arose each moru-
ing as through cloud of smoke, red
and rayless, shedding little light or
warmth and setting at night as behind
a thick cloud Of vapor, leaving hard
ly trace Of its having passed over
the earth. The frost never went of
the ground until about the last OF
May.
The farmers planted their crops.
but the seed would hardly sprout, AMI
when at last it came to the surface
there was not warmth enough to cause
anything to grow. During the month
of June young birds were frozen TO
death in their nests and so great was
their destruction that for at least
three years after very few birds visit
ed the colder parts OF the northern
states. The woods and forests seem
as the juneberry ripened and rotted

no birds to eat them.
Crops that required warmth, like
corn, generally failed to mature, and
only here and there in few places
that seemed especially protected did
an ear ripen. The people after re-
peated hopes of change in the weata-
er, settled down In almost despair.
Large spots appeared on the face of
the sun, as seen through the smoky
atmosphere, distinctly visible with the
naked eye; frosts prevailed every
month the whole year and almost
daily, and in the few places where
corn ripened was the only supply nj
seed for the next year, and it Was
held at an exceedingly high figure
with now and then an exception.

HONORS in SIGHT
FOR ALBERTA Man
]. A. Weinand Writes Best Copy
for Advertisement in Nation
wide AID Contest

J. A. Weinand has received a letter
from the Harness World. newspaper
for harness dealers published at Gin
cinnati, Ohio, and now he is getting
ready to wear a new gold watch and
chain. He says he will take his hat
off to the Norris Tribune because it
hepled him get in line for the ticker.
Some time ago the Harness World
offered prize of watch and chain
to the dealer who would produce the
best advertisement on harness. The
contest was open to every dealer in
every state in the Union and several
thousand dealers entered. Weinand
wrote little six-inch double column
advertisement and inserted it in The
Tribune. Then he sent a copy of the
Tribune, to the Harness World and
they handed it over to the judges. The
Harness World also reproduced the
ad with compliments to the Tribune s
ad artist and stated it was the best
worded and geographically correct
specimen which had been received up
till that time. Now the letter comes
with the information that Weinand
might do we'll to have a new pocket
placed in his vest.
Mr.. Weinand states that the ad was
productive of several sales right here
and brought him. business from MGR
rls and Chokio. He didn't pin much
faith in getting the watch with such
q host of competitors against him, but
he has hopes today and is watching
his mails eargerly.

won. .-..
The first balloon to be inflated was

gan" in honor of prominent attor-
ney at Morris who fought valiantly
for the dry cause in the election last
week. The Tom Mangan rose majes-
tically on the still evening air and as
it cleared the wires and housetops half
dozen rifles we're trained upon it
and emitted a shower of lead. Wheth-
er or not the leaden hail hit the balloon

course and was soon lost among the
stars. Then the wet balloon was
brought on. No name was found for
it and it rose unhonored and unsung.
1t had barely cleared the house.top
when it began to wobble and hesit-
ate as if conscious of treading for
hidden path. Then it settled to earth
and as it came down the rifles were
used again.
