CLEANLINESS


Filth Is the greatest cause Of those
diseases which threaten baby during
the heat OF summer.
Therefore everything that comes In
contact with baby's food must be
clean.
The hands should be washed and
dried with a clean towel before prepar.
ing baby's food.
In preparing the dishes necessary,
boil them in water. but don't dry them
with a towel. Instead invert them az.
ter taking from the boiling water and
then allow them to dry from their
own heat.
The best sort Of a nursing bottle
is one that has least hiding places
for germs. A bottle with the scale
blown into the side allows the moth.

tons for mixing the proper amount
OF milk, water and sugar. /.
There should be a supply OF nipples
and bottles SO that a clean boiled
bottle and q clean boiled nipple can
be used for each feeding. It is also
well to remember to use nipples with
small holes in them, otherwise the
food may come too fast and give
the baby indigestion-an especially
dangerous ailment in hot weather.
