TO CONSERVE BABIES

Baby diseases and the care of the
youngsters. especially in the summer
months. care discussed from many
view points in bulletin Just issued
by the Iowa state board OF health on
the subject Save the Babies"
Something must be done to pre-
vent the excessive mortality among
children, much Of which is unneces-
sary," declares this bulletin. "The
Iowa state board of health is anxious
to enlist the services of all agencies
taking an interest in the prevention
Of infant diseases.
ut is earnestly desired that char
table associations, nurse associations,
settlement associations, infant vel
fare associations and the medical
profession work together to organize
an infant welfare campaign to save
the babies

Babies and Hogs.
"The state board of health recon-
mends that the local boards Of health
delegate trained nurse to visit the
homes of the people to ascertain the
true condition ,of our baby king
DOM Is the time not ripe just now
to begin an upward march to con-
serve infant life? The life of every
baby has a value that cannot be
measured in dollars and cents. Let
the communities wake up and study
the conditions that are robbing our
nation of the little ones. The hogs
OF the country are being well cared
for and great societies are being
formed to conserve our national re-
sources and ought we not to take
into consideration at the same time
the immense loss of human life,
caused by preventable diseases"
Baby In the Summer.
The bulletin recommends that the
cows milk to be used for feeding
babies should be the purest and
freshest possible to obtain and that
it be kept cold by using plenty OF
ice. Unless absolutely sure the wat
er is pure it should be boiled. Thor
ough cleanliness is recommended.
.Do not put too much clothing on
bulletin. During the hottest wealth
or q thin. loose dress and a diaper
are enough for day and night Never
use tight waist bands Petticoats and
skirts should be supported by straps
over the shoulders. Battle the baby
every day. When 1t 1t is very hot q
quick sponging all over later in the
day will give him comfort and make
him sleep better.
Fresh air is as important for the
baby's health as fresh food. During
the summer keep the baby out OF
doors as much as possible and keep
it out Of the kitchen. They frequent
ly get sunstroke from too much heat
indoors"

A DAY OF RAIN.
There's somethin' in day of rain
GIFTS in feller's feelings SO
A somethin' that can't explain.
And ketchcs him and won't let go.
My old corn planter clicked and sung
Down that last row and put her in,
Then bumped herself like two and
swung
Up through the lane and home again
I turned the bosses to their hay
And flung 'em down little grain,
And. loafin' in the shed this way.
kinda like to watch the rain.
There's pictures in 1t, driftin' slow
Up through the orchard plot to me,
OF truant ways used to know,
And days of dear old Used to Be.
And promises of crops and things.
Fer when the rain falls down to sink
Into the thirsty loan and sings
AS though to call the corn to drink.
A feller's got to just admit,
With all his labor and expense
OF plantin' corn and tendin' It,,
He's still in debt of Providence.
And when the last rows in and done
Just what the Lord sends Is my
choice,
Or soakin' rain or burnin' sun,
I'll hump my back and still rejoice.
But when it rains like this today,
With pictures in the atmosphere,
I want to jest git down and pray,
And thank the Lord because I'm
here.
