CARE OF THE BABY.
Weight and Weighing the Baby.
Article Number Three

The baby's weight is perhaps the
best index the mother has of his con-
dition. The average weights of babies
of given ages are now pretty well-es-
tablished, and a weight noticeably
lower than the average indicates a
lack of development due either to de-
feient diet, or to illness, while an ex-
cess of fat may point to improper
feeding. If the baby's weight either
remains stationary for any considerable
time, or begins to fall off it is always
sign that something is wrong; and
the mother should seek the help of a
good doctor, without delay.
The average girl weighs Z pounds
at birth, while boys average half a
pound heavier.
During the first four days the baby
may lose from one or two ounces to
a pound, while waiting for the mother s
milk to be established, but as soon as
he begins to nurse regularly he should
quickly regain this loss. During the
first month he should gain about three
quarters of an ounce each day; then
up to the sixth month, from four to
eight ounces a week, and from the
sixth to the twelfth month two to four
ounces a week.
At three months the average baby
weighs from twelve to fourteen
pounds; at six months, fifteen to six
teen pounds; at nine months, seventeen
to eighteen pounds; and at one year,
twenty to twenty-five pounds. The
baby thus usually doubles his weight
at five or six months, and at the end
of his first year weighs three times as
much as at birth. Most babies do not
gain quite steadily, week by week.

are not merely warm weather daily
bathers but battle daily in the coolest
season of the year. Their thoughts are
clean, healthy and practical and their
actions are the product of their
thought. It is said that those nations
that loved the bath have achieved more
than those that did not so.
The bath relieves the internal or
gans. of much abuse, congestion and
toxic material. By the bath the skin
is stimulated to do its share of the
work of the animal economy. The
blood pressure is reduced and the ar
teries are enabled to retain their youth.
1t is the process by which their elias
ITCHY is maintained.
The temperature of the bath is a
matter of personal preference. A warm
bath will be more generally accepted
but the cold bath has its heroic ad-
vocates. But be the bath hot, cold or
luke warm, it is a positive asset, a
therapeutic aid of no mean ability. In
some diseases water cure or hydrother-
apy is well nigh the treatment par
excellence.

HYDE PARK NEWS
BY L. w. WASHINGTON.

The Political Meeting held at 5532
Lake Park Ave-, was well attended, the
Hon. Oscar De Priest, Alderman of
End Ward was the principal speaker.
Mr.. Louis B. Anderson and others ad-
dressed the meeting.
Mr.. Black feels very much hurt over
the attack made upon him by the
speakers. He claims that he has the
best of wishes for the success of the
Colored people in Hyde Park and has
demonstrated this both by employing
them in his private business and during
the political campaigns.
To segregate our political influence
out here is a mistake, unity should
be our watchword, think this over
with a sober mind, gentlemen.

During short periods, owing to exces-
sive heat, when the food is reduced, a
baby may show no gain, and may even
fall off little. This condition should
be temporary and he ought to begin
to gain as soon as the disturbance sub
sides.
Bottle-fed infants do not gain as
rapidly during the first months as do
breast-fed babies, but after the ninth
month they are apt to gain more stead
lily because they do not lose weight as
breast-fed babies usually do at the time
of weaving.
A very fat baby is not to be desired.
Although mothers are prone to believe
that a fat baby is a healthy one, this
is not necessarily true. An exclusive
diet of certain of the proprietary in
FAINT foods, consisting largely of sugar
or of starch, is very apt to produce ex-
cessive fat, and give false impression
of Astounding health, since bones and
muscles may thus be deprived of their
proper nourishment. Overfat babies
are very uncomfortable in the summer
from prickly heat and other ills.
A healthy baby has a well-rounded
body, without wads and cushions of
fat, or pendulous cheeks and pudgy
legs. He has springy muscles, and is
alert, active and full of life and motion.
In order that the mother may be
informed as to the baby's progress, he
should be weighed at regular intervals
throughout at least the first year. For
the first week or longer, he should be
weighed every day; during the first six
months, once a week; and later once in
two weeks.
Breasted babies may be weighed
just before and just after a nursing
to determine how much milk they are
getting, and to find out whether or not
they need supplementary feeding.
They should be weighed in exactly the
same clothing both times, and to de-
termine the daily gain, at the same
hour each day.
The best scales are ordinary platform
balance scales such as are used in gro
Gerry stores. A special basket or pan
which fits on the platform, and which
will hold the baby comfortably is de-
sirable. Spring scales are less accurate
but are cheaper, and are better than
no scales at all. Most country house
holds have enough general use for a
good scale, so that such a purchase will
not be an extravaganza. Many city
mothers have the advantage of being
able to go to an infant welfare sta
ton where the baby may be weighed
as often as desirable. In these cases it
is easy to keep a careful record of the
baby's growth.
The Children's Bureau has published
bulletin called Infant Care, which
contains directions for weighing the
baby and also a chart for recording
the weight. This publication is sent
free to all who ask for it, addressing
the Chief of the Children's Bureau, q.

FISKE QUESTIONS
DANIELS VERACITY
Flatly Contradicts Secretary of Nays
, Statement Concerning Recommends

Washington, D. c., May 3.--The We
raeity of Secretary Daniels was attacked
yesterday in letter sent the Senate by
Admiral Fiske. A ruling by Vice Presi.
dent Marshall suppressed the report for
a time, but Senator Lodge, who also had
been sent copy, made known the gist
of the contents.
In recent letter to the Senate, Dan
iels said he had not seen letter from
Admiral Fiske Of Nov 9, 1919, warning
the navy department of the unpreparcd
state of the navy.
Fishes letter fatty contradicted this,
and he supports his statement that Dan.
iels had been handed the document by
the testimony of navy officers.
Fiske quoted from his own diary to
prove his point He says Daniels appar-
emily has suffered from lapse Of mem

Chairman Tillman said he thought the

in making Fishes letter public.

Little change was noted in calves, fan

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY--TRY THIS!
Says glass OF hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out polsons.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom in
your face, TO see your skin get clearer
and clearer, TO wake up without head
ache, backache, coated tongue or a nasty
breath, in fact to feel your best, day in
and day out, Just try inside bathing
every morning for one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink a
glass OF real hot water with teaspoon
iul OF limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of washing from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and purifying the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into the
stomach. The action of hot water and
limestone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach is wonderfully invigorating. 1t
cleans out all the sour lamentations,
gases and acidity and gives one SPLEEN
did appetite for breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate viii cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water cleanses
sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot
water and limestone phosphate act on
the blood and internal organs. Those
who are subject to constipation, bilious
attacks, acid stomach, rheumatic twinges,
also those whose skin is sallow and COM
plexion pallid, are assured that one week
OF inside bathing will have them both
looking and feeling better in every way.

in response to an inquiry that no extern
