Summer is the danger season for
babies, and most of the danger comes
not from heat, but from the baby's
food-from milk that Is dirty, or hot,
or sour. Milk is the only food a baby

and sweet, or the baby will die. Out
of every 100 babies that die of sum-
mer complaint" IS take their milk
from bottles and only 10 are breast

A|RMENG GET
AWAY At NIGHT
Close Study of Weather Nee
essary Before Machines Take
to Air for Raids.
Associated Press oorrespodeHce.l

A BRITISH AERODRoME SOME
WHERE IN FRANCE, Aug. 16:-
An hour before dusk weather reports
from all parts of France, as well as
from London and the English coast,
begin pouring into the office of the
Might Bombing Squadron" When
machines are going on a long flight
to bomb German towns 1t is very de-
Isirable to know what weather may
be expected.
BY means OF a little balloon whose
speed n direction, as it scars up
ward, is registered by a special in
strument, the direction and force of
the wind at different levels is discov-.
cred. This information tells the air
man what course he must steer and
what allowances he must make for
DETECTION and wind-drift.
The pilots and observers are called
into the mapping office and the orders
for the night are read aloud by the
commanding officer. Maps are col
llected, and photographs of he bjec-
tive are examined, so that the air.
men may familiarize themselves with
the surroundings as they appear from
the air.
Then they hurry away to their
rooms. and get ready for the long
flight through the cold night skies.
Heavy sweaters are donned and
soft leather thigh boots lined with
white fleece are pulled on over thick
wooden stockings. Mufflers are wrap
ped round necks and mouths. The
airmen climb into overall suits OF
waterproof material lined with long
black fur. These are securely strap
ped at ankles and wrists. Fur-lined
leather helmets and goggles are put
| on. and yellow whale oil Is smeared
over the face to prevent frost bite.
Then, gathering up their thick fur
gloves, their torches and maps, their
sandwiches and vacumn TASKS, their
notebooks and> pencils, h airmen
lstraddie awkwardly put to the aero
drome where the great machines
stand silently in q dim line, ready
to burst into life at the order to start.
The first of the big machines slow
Ily takes across the aerodrome, turns
to face the wind, halts a little and
then, gathering momentum every
second. It rushes across the grass and
climbs up into the night till it can no
longer be seen, and its two wtng-tip
lights, like fiery eyes. alone show
where 1t moves in the darkness. For
several minutes its pulsing drone can
be heard as II climbs in <reat circles
| over the aerodrome. Every eye is
| turned upwards watching the little
lights. Suddenly a ball of red appears
in the sky, drops slowly, N dies out.
1t Is a signal describing the weather
conditions UP aloft, and conveying an
order to those on the ground.
One by one the huge machines
glide out into the middle of the field,
thunder across the grass, and rise,
soaring to the stars. For a time their
Imurmur hlls the skies, but soon q
heavy silence descends on the areo-
drome, while IN the East beyond the
German lines can be seen the pale
fingers of the cropping searchlights.

than at any other time of year. Here
are some important points for moth
ers to remember If we are to conserve
babies as well as food.
Be sure your milk supply comes
from a clean dairy, in clean bottles.
Never buy loose milk from a dirty,
ly-swarming store. Pasteurized milk
is the only safe milk.
Keep all milk cool and covered.
Use the homemade ice box and IL no
ice Is to be had set h milk bottle
In q deep stone jar of cold water.
Boil the nursing bottle and nipple
before each feeding.
Feed the baby at regular intervals
and give him drinks of cool boiled
water between milk feelings.
Never give solid foods to little ba-
bies. Never feed fruits, coffee, tea
or alcoholic drinks.
Do not overfeed in hot weather.
