There 10 no greater murderer Of
babies than the common housefIy.

The campaign to save Keokuk
babies, and to educate the mothers
and fathers of Keokuk babies to the
proper care of their children, will be
staged next week, which is Baby
Week for Keokuk War will be de-
clared on the fly, the greatest muir
derer of babies; and cleanliness, pure
air, pure milk, and sanitary condf-
lions in the home where baby. lives will
be preached throughout the week by
experts.
Because thousands of babies have
been killed through the use of dirty
bottles, the mother should take care
to get the right kind of bottles. Do
not use the ones with tube or the
kind that cannot be easily washed.
The best kind is the one with large
opening at the top, the removable
rubber cap and nipple really forming
the top of the bottle. Particular
pains must be taken to keep the nip
pie and bottle very clean. After each
feeding remove the nipple, boil both
bottle and nipple for ten minutes. Be
fore using again rinse bottle and nip
spIe in boiled water-a quart of wa
ter in which a teaspoonful of baking
soda has been dissolved. The bottles
may be kept in pan OF water con-
tanning a pinch of soda when not in
use.
Special attention will be paid dur
ing baby week to the campaign
against the fly. Flies and mosquitoes
may carry the germs of many kinds
of disease, as tuberculosis, malaria, |
yellow or typhoid fever or other dis |
eases. Flies are bred in dirt. They |
seek out the garbage pals. manure
heaps and similar unclean places. |
From these dirty places they fly into |
the house and crawl over food or the |
nipple of the baby's bottle. Fly |
specks are not only dirty, but danger
ous. Always wash the nipple Of the |
bottle if it should fall on the floor.
To prevent the advent of these
murderous insects, the home should
be screened, and breeding places
should be stamped out.
