FIRST PRIZE.

BY Petra Beck, Laurel school.
A small baby should be bathed
every day. It's clothes should be
clean, full and warm. But not too
warm because II would be TO warm
for the baby. His dress ought TO be
wide, so his lungs will have room TO
expand. II he has tight clothes he
cannot breath freely
The babies nap is very important
10 the child or baby. It will not
hurt him If you wash him before
he sleeps. Have his bed in a cor
ner not under the window, because
Il is in the draft anG he will catch
cold or get sick. Open the windows
wide go he will have the fresh air
which can do him no harm. You
will find that he always sleeps sound
" and il is better FOR him
Fresh air is always good and
healthy for child II the baby has
a sister she should take him for a
ride every day when the weather is
warm. Even when IL is cold the
baby co~!1 go out for about FIVE or
10 minutes IL not more.
Milk is the principle food for the
baby. We should see that he has
nourishing food Some babies who
take bottle milk like sugar in it.
Ny mothey used 10 boil the milk
with some sugar in it and my little
sister liked il very we'll. Keep baby's
bottles very clean for no mother
wants her baby TO carry germs, 1
am sure.
When a child or baby grows TO he
n girl or boy .hey always like clean
teeth. But sometimes it is too late.
If this baby's sister or mother viii
clean the babys teeth when he is
small, then when he is bigger he
will be thankful for their kindness.
You can take a piece of cloth in
some warm water and wash his
gums. Wash his teeth up and down
and in and out when he is older.
When he Is a year or two years old
YOU can buy a soft tooth brush for
the baby.
All these and many more things
are needed 10 make Better Babies"
and will help South Bend a good
deal il every one does his or her
part.
