The nursing mother should have
plenty of simple nutritious food. She
should eat what she likes, provided
her food causes her no Indigestion, for
if the mother is we'll the baby will
usually be we'll But if the mother
has headaches or gas on the stomach
or bowels, or has coated tongue, she
is not properly digesting her food,
and she should try to find out what
is causing the trauble
Fat, greasy and fried foods, such
as doughnuts, pancakes, baked beans,
pies, heavy buildings and dumplings,
and insufficiently cooked cereals, are
among the foods that may cause indi-
gestion.
Fresh, well-cooked vegetables, good
soups, bread and butter, milk and
eggs meat, fish, poultry and fruits
should form the principal part of the
diet of a nursing mother. All good
food is Matchmaking food 1t is bet
ter to do without tea or coffee, unless
the mother has always been accustom-
ed to them. If so, she should cut
down the amount to one cup of each
drink per day. Cocoa may be used in
moderate quantities, but milk, both
sweet and buttermilk, and plenty of
cold pure water, are the best drinks
for the nursing mother.
The nursing mother should have
plenty of sleep at night, and should
learn to relax and rest whenever the
baby nurses. AS far as possible she
should be relieved of the heaviest part
of the household work, because If
she is tired and worn the baby will
not thrive as he should.
The nursing mother should have a
full movement of the bowels every
day, but should not use medicine to
induce an action, unless absolutely
necessary. Ripe, raw fruits, stewed
rhubarb and prunes and well-cooked
oatmeal and other cereals are laxa-
tive Graham and bran breads are
most useful in constipation. Bran
bread is made as follows:
l cup of cooking molasses.
L teaspoonful of soda.
l small teaspoonful of salt.
l pint or sour milk or buttermilk.
1 quart of bran.
1 pint of flour.
Stir we'll, and make for one hour
in moderate oven. 1t may be baked
as loaf, Or in gem pans, as preferred.
The bread should be moist and tender
and may be eaten freely, and it will
usually have a good effect if used
every day for weeks.
To keep the breasts from becoming
sore, they should be washed with
warm water and good CASTLE soap
every night and after each nursing
For a few weeks before the baby is
born the nipples should be washed in
this way every night and covered witt
vaseline.

CARE OF THE BABY IN SUMMER

ISSUED by U. S. Health Department.
A mother may shield her baby from
suffering and illness in many ways.
Her wise and loving care Is never so
invaluable as in the first year of the
baby's life. In this country thous-
ands Of babies under one year of age
die during the summer because moth
ers who love them do not know how
to take care of them.
No other one thing mother can do
for her baby meaps more to him than
to feed him at her own breast. Ba-
bies who are fed entirely at the breast
usually do not have diarrhoea, unless
oyerfed, but bottle-fed babies are very
likely to have this trouble, even if
their milk is carefully prepared. This

it is especially important in summer
when the heat and flies make bottle
feeding so dangerous.
The mother knows that if she gives
her baby the breast she is giving him;
1. Pure milk-never sour.
2. Fresh milk, made and used as
needed.
3. Milk of the same temperature
throughout the feeding.
f. And, most important, milk made
especially for and especially adapted
to the needs of the baby.
If she feeds him from a bottle she
is not sure of any of these things for
in no way can cows milk DE made as
good as breast milk.
A mother can usually nurse her
baby if she has been properly cared
for before the baby's birth and at the
time of birth, and no mother who
wants to give her baby. a good start
will consent to deprive him of breast
milk, at least during the first few
months of life.
After the mothers milk comes, usu
ally on the third day, the baby may
be nursed every three hours, at and

On the four-hour plan the nursing
will come at and 10 a. m, and 2, j
and 10 p. m. In the intervals she
should give him a little water which
has first been boiled and cooled.
When the baby is four months old
he should no longer be nursed at
night, and at six months the mother

each week until the length of time

the milk is plentiful, the breasts
should be nursed alternately, but it
may be necessary to give both breasts
at one feeding in order to satisfy the
baby. The baby requires no other
food, save breast milk and drinking
water, until he is eight or nine months
old
In some cases the mother may not
have enough breast milk to satisfy the
baby. 1t is then necessary to give one
