n WIDESPREAD and deep-rooted
~ belief prevails among mothers
n that the second summer is
an especially perilous time for
the baby, and consequently, one TO be
greatly feared.
tne facts, however. do not support
this belief Official figures show that
about five times as many babies die
In the first year of life as in the sec
ond, and that nearly two-thirds Of the
papies who die in the first year OF life
figures show, conclusively, therefore,
that the great loss Of infant life takes
place among very young babies, and
that II baby has survived this early
up Is greatly increased, says an article
prepared by the Children's Bureau.
The reason the second summer has
acquired this partly undeserved reputa-
ton for danger lies very largely in the
fact that babies are often made sick
because mothers make many mistakes

and before his digestion,tls able to deal

Fear From Teething.
The fear of the second summer results
also from the fact that the baby is get
ting his teeth at this time. Although
the teething process sometimes is I'M
Justly blamed for causing illness, babies
are, no doubt, often upset by the pain
OF teeth.ng and do, therefore, suffer
more readily from mistakes in feeding.
third reason why the second sum-
mer makes babies sick applies equally
to the first summer, that is the exces-
sive heat affects them badly both di-
rectly and indirectly. Heat often spols
the milk and makes it unfit for the
baby's use. But even a properly red
baby may be made sick when the
weather is very hot.
A long continued spell OF extreme heat
is very hard on babies of all ages, and
the greatest care Is needed to avoid
every other cause of illness at this time
and to prevent by every possible means
an attack of summer diarrhea
The greatest. safeguard which the
mother can throw about her baby in the
second summer is to see that he has
proper food. at regular intervals in suit
sble quantities., and keep him cool. A
baby who is about nine or ten months
at the beginning of summer should. if
