Fresh Air for Baby.
By JOHN B. HUBER. A. M M D.

Fresh air Is very necessary to
growing children. This, In our mod
ern dwellings, is best supplied
through the open windows. A safe
means of ventilation is the use OF
the window board" A plain one
inch board is sawed the width Of the
window frame and placed under the
raised window in the lateral frame
groove resting upon the sill. This
raises the top of the lower sash above
the bottom OF the upper one leaving
a space between through which the
air enters with the current directed
upwards. The board may be four or
six inches wide. The open fireplace
Is an ideal means of ventilation; but
this ia not found In many dwellings.
When 1t is very cold and on stormy
days, when the baby cannot safely
be taken out Of doors, give an In
door airing Dress him as II for out
Of doors, place him In the baby oar
riage or a clothes basket and allow
him to rest in a room the windows OF
