SIN offering
the Child
By DR.. A. W. McKeever,
zone Of the Nations best-known Sc
Geological writers.)

BY DR.. A. W. McKeever,
TN Southern city 1 met the
other day. and within q few
blocks OF each other, two
young mothers out airing
their babies. In each case the little
one was closely wrapped from top
to toe in heavy eovers--not even a
peep hole. These mothers were out
smothering their infants, and that
on a beautiful. balmy day.
There is a very common erroneous
idea among many mothers that cool,
outdoor air will give a baby a bad
cold" But the reverse Is more
nearly the truth. 1t is the over
wrapped and partly smothered child
which most easily takes cold.
Fresh air is literally a part of the
child's necessary nourishment. To
cut this OF Is to take away its food.
Sluggish. stupid respiration, poison
laden blood, congestion, lowered
yitality-all these are likely to re-
suit from lack Of a plentiful supply
of fresh air. And. then. no telling
what might happen.
Day, night and Sundays-all the
time, no matter how hot or how
cold-keep your child breathing
only fresh air. and its chances of
becoming a strong. rugged man or
woman will be at the MAXIMUM.
When you give baby his bath.
shut off the breeze very carefully
and have the room warm, but not
stale from lack OF oxygen. After
the bath, rub till quite dry and
warm and till the breathing is deep
and full-which Is the best assur-
ance OF a propr reaction.
Undernourishment Is really Of at
least two kinds-lack of food and
lack OF oxygen. Early in life many
children. through mistreatment.
become habituated to an under
supply of fresh air. They become
sallow. hollow-eyed. fiat chested and
perhaps a bit stupid. Thus the
possibility of q big, strong person.
ality is shut of through lack OF
a proper supply of that which is
free as the air" and $50 miles deep
around the globe.
Parent, IL is possible that your
child has not taken a deep breath
for a year. Look into this matter.
The test is easy. slip up to his
couch and notice his breathing dur
ing sleep. Is his respiration full
and deep? Or slow and shallow
and almost inaudible? II the latter
is tho case, it is a matter for your
serious concern.
Now, go after the case OF your
child who has habbily resigned his
body to shallow and weak respira-
tions. Start some vigorous exer-
else. Set his lungs to heaVing. Rub
him, roll him, battle him or tone
him up in any other reasonable
manner.
BY vigorous use OF fresh air and
common sense in the treatment of
your smothered child you may save
him endless trouble for the future
i'm form OF i'll health, unsteady
morals, cloudy intellect and weak
will power.
To be good is to breathe good,
fresh air and to enjoy the rugged
health which only sufficient oXy-
gen supply can guarantee.
Wake up your child and air him
thrsUEk cd through.

The Kaiser punctuated my story
with gusty outlaws, and emphasized
the fun OF the denouement by polk
ing the general in the ribs.
PIessen laughed very heartily. as
indeed he was expected to. Then he
said suavely:
"But has the stratagem succeed

looked at me.

he couldn't see anybody, although
he looked all around.
I'm the little mouse that lives in

and then q little mouse crept out
from behind q tree and stood on her
hind legs right In front OF Puss
Junior. / think she was very brave,
for mice are dreadfully afraid OF
cats, you know.
Goodness me-" said Puss. "if I
should start to tell you about my

at have indeed" replied the little
mouse "come with me-" So Puss
followed her across the garden IN
I'll they came to the royal stables.
But they didn't go in the big door.
Oh, my, moi The little mouse went
around to the rear and tapped
three times on q little door. And
when it opened Puss saw another
mouse, much older than his small
friend, with q cap on his head.
This is Puss Jnior," said the
little mouse, and then the gray
haired mouse said: 81 am very glad
to meet you, Sir Kitten. Come in."
Well, when Puss entered he saw
q strange sort Of a place. OF
course, he thought It would be the

was q little railway train. and as

Puss Juniors little friend And
then she looked in her vanity bag
and took out a little mirror and
suoothed her hair, and then the
train stopped. So she and Puss got
out.
asHere Is our coach" she said.
And sure enough, standing close to
the platform was 4 pretty little
black coach with four mice for
horses and a mouse coAchman. So
she and Puss got in and drove
away, and by and by they came to q
little red house by a green wood.
"whoa!" said the coachman. and
the footman jumped down from his
seat in the back and opened the
door for Puss and the little mouse,
and then the front door OF the little
house opened and Puss saw his old
