CHILD WELFARE.
WHAT MAKES THE BABY CRY,

Light shining directly in a baby's
eyes is very uncomfortable for him
and may wake him out of a sound
sleep and cause crying. Loud. sud-
den noises, as a sharp scream or
banging OF a door may wake and
brighten baby into a At OF hard
crying Usual household sounds he
should get used to.
Above all things do not begin the
shaking. habit by jogging his crib
or carriage when he wakes up and
cries. ] have watched young moth
ers shake baby in his carriage until
! could not stand IL any longer.
some not only shake from side TO
side but also spring the carriage
double motion will prove more effect
ual, If the baby falls asleep after
such treatment IT is because he is too
tired out to stay awake.
accompanied by drawing up of the
legs. a panied look on the face and
the sound is strong, and rather sharp,
nd %he1 ne thon taken tSa up
may be in pain. In such case an
enema of warm water with a pinch
OF bicarbonate of soda in II should
be given and the abdomen gently mas
saged to help expel the gas in the in
testines, which may be causing the
pain. A little of this warm water and
soda may also be given by mouth
and the baby held up against the
mothers shoulder for a moment to
help get up the gas on the stomach.
Usually after the gas is expelled
the baby will stop crying at once and
will be content to stay quietly in his
crib. Rocking, walking with, patting,
and so on, do not help pain of any
kind. If there is no collie or dis
tended abdomen or other signs of col
ic. and the cry is that OF pain, pos
sibly the baby has an earache. To
find out about this, press firmly in
front of the opening Of the ears. If
there is inflammation there, the baby
will jump when this Is done. A hot
water bag or hot flannel should then
be placed over the tender ear; or, If
this does not help, the ear may be
gently syringed with soft bulb
syringe and warm boric-acid solution.
Gas in the stomach and earache are
the two most common causes of sud
den attacks of pain in a young baby.
This treatment is only for temporary
relief; the cause of the attack of
either collie or earache must be sought
for and found by a doctor II 1t oc-
ours at all frequently.
A baby may be crying from real
hunger. but this is fretful cry, us
ually quite continuous except when
he is actually taking the food. Loss
in weight, or failure to gain, and
hungry, pinched look will help the
young mother to decide about this
cry. Holding, rocking, and so on,
will not stop 1t.

LEND A HAND.

Held the toiler on his way.
See! a heavy weight is pressing:
Give him succor while you may.
Lend a hand-his load will tighten,
Show him ANNIVERSARIES will bright

When the clouds of sorrow thicken,
When the way is dark and drear,
Just word, look, a favor,
Showing sympathy in sorrow
Nerves the heart for it's tomorrow.
Bear we one anothers burdens"
Take your fallen brothers hand.
Lead him to the source of blessing,
Help him on the Rock to stand.
When he makes his great decision,
Morning breaks upon his vision.
Bear We one another's burdens"
So the law OF Christ fulfil.
Love bestowed upon the needy
Showeth best the Fathers will.
Just a cup of water given
Marks the way from earth to heaven.
