CARE OF THE CHILDREN
IN VACATION PERIOD
Advice to Mothers Regarding the Sc
lection of Temporary
Habitation.

At this time of the year the trains
and boats are carrying thousands of
| families to the seashore, the mountains,
or the farms for their annual vacations
from the hot and crowded cities. Among
the host of travellers are many babies
and young children. Indeed, it is chiefly
on account of them that parents are
willing to take all the trouble involved
| in the annual summer pilgrimage. the

inconvenience of a temporary home.
They are, however. usually repaid 10y

! irrepressible spirits show what tonic
fingers in mountainside or country
spaces.
Unfortunately, this is not always the
| case. Whether or not this change from
city to country life is to be altogether
beneficial or not depends upon the sort
of living conditions into which the
children will come, and upon the char
acter of the milk supply and the drink
ing water.
+ Advantages Necessary
In most cities, mothers. whether poor
or rich, may have the benefit of care
fully inspected milk and drinking wa
ter. In the country it is a wise pre-
caution to look into these matters be-
fore selecting the summer home. Flies
and mosquitoes are two great enemies
of the baby, affecting not merely his
comfort. but endainsering his health,
and possibly his life. In going to the
country, the mother should select, if
possible. place where the doors and
windows and the porchcs are screened,
and one where water closets or some
sort of sanitary privy is in use. The
latter improvements are not, neces-
sarily, very expensive, and should be
provided.

Ample Means Desirable.

"While there seems to be no reason
to believe. that the worlds present and
potential supply of cotton is out of
proportion to requirements during the
next twelve months, it is nevertheless
important, because of our lack of ade-
quate shipping facilities. as well as re-
striction brought about by the war
upon free exports to all countries. that
ample means be provided for the
proper handling and effective market
ing of cotton"
Similar means may be taken to aid
in financing other agricultural prod
ucts, the letter says, wherever there is
available a system of warehouses, ele--
vators or other approved means OF
storing and certifying.
The board calls attention to its re-
cent regulations as to trade accept
ances, saying that such acceptances,
when growing out of transactions in
volving the movement of staple crops,
are eligible for rediscount with reserve
banks, and their use should aid ma
terially in the marketing of crops.

Doctors Markoe. Lyle and Smith, who
reported il to have been successful In
every way and said that Mr.. Morgan
is resting comfortably. MIR. Morgan S
general condition is so excellent that
his prompt recovery is expected.

his Office since early August. He has
been very active in business during
the last few months, especially in con
nection with the Anglo-Frcnch loan.
