Hot Weather Care
For Your Baby

The loss of a pound Or two of
weight makes very little difference
to the adult. but it is a serious mat
ter for a young baby.
A pound or two loss means as
much to the baby as 10 or Is pounds
does to the adult. for it is 10 per
cent Dr. more of his total body weight.
If a baby fails to gain in weight
for several weeks. or loses a pound
or two. it becomes noticeable. But
the average daily gain in weight for
the first year is so small that 1t can
not be detected without weighing.
When a baby fails to gain the re-
quired number of ounce for even
one week, it means that there is
something wrong with him or the
food. Whatever it is. it should be
remedied at once. To delay unit
baby has lost weight for several
weeks. or until the loss of weight
reaches a pound or two. always les
sens the baby's chances of prompt
recovery.
1t Is very much easier to keep a
young baby we'll and gaining steadily
than it is to have him regain lost
weight. or to get him we'll again
once he has become i'll. For these
reasons a mother should weigh the
young baby every week until he is
nine months old: and after that at
least every two weeks until he Is one
year old.
From infancy until he enters
school the child should be weighed at
least once a month.

The regular increase in weight Is
of more Importance than conforming
to a table.

After the twelfth week the baby
should gain on an average OF four
ounces a week.
The average baby weighs a little
over seven pounds at birth.
He doubles his weight at siz
months. weighing ordinarily IA
pounds.
He triples it at n year. weighing
81 pounds.
1t is because of his rapid growth
that a baby must have the right
kind of food and spend most OF his
time sleeping.
The accompanying table of weight
and measures represents the average
baby. A baby may weigh more or
less and still be entirely normal.

Seasonal COAL
RATES ARE ASKED
Senate Will Begin Considera-
ton of Measure to Sta
bilize Industry

Washington, June 10. - Cheaper
coal this Summer will become a pos
sibility IL Congress passes without
delay the, Frelinghuysen bill provid-
ing for seasonal freight rates for
coal, which the Senate will begin con-
sidering tomorrow.
The bill authorizes the Interstate
Commerce Commission to establish
coal rates varying according to sea-
son, provided that the average annu-
al yield to the carriers Is not dimin-
ished.
Under such authority 1t is planned
to fix rates lower In Summer than
during the remainder of the year, In
order to promote Summer buying and
storing of coal and steadier mine OPP
GRAFTON.
President Harding is convinced
that a lowering Of freight rates would
reduce the price of coal materially,
but railroad executives dispute the
soundness of this view. c%ontending
that the transportation cost now is
only "a per cen Of the price to the
consumer.
The coal interests favor the season
al rate bill and the railroads have Of
fered no opposition to date. Its early
passage by the Senate is predicted,
and the House will be urged to pass
II as an emergency measure.

P~RoFITEERINc IN SHOES

In its report on the high prices Of
shoes from 1915 on, the Federal
Trade Commission tells the usual
story Of gross ~profteering. Excessive
profits were taken all along the line
by the tanners and manufacturers
clear down to the retailers; profits
out of all proportion to the increase
in cost. It was the buyers strike In
the Spring Of 1920 that first halted
the advance. To give the dealers due
credit, IL was no fault of theirs that
they did not continue to move prices
upward. But now that raw materials
have declined, the consumer Is not
yet getting the benefits to which he Is
entitled, says the New York World.
At one end the farmer and at the
other the consumer r nursing their
grievances. Calf-skins and hides bring
only a fraction of val prices; foot
wear has been marked down only
slightly. In the circumstances all the
explanations that may be offered viii
not cool their resentment.
The p~rofiteering habit has taken a
firm hold on a class of business men
who still imagine that they are be-
yond reach of retaliation. Many
dealers went through the buyers
strike of last year unwarned by the
experience that there must be a fair
readjustment Of the selling prices Of
all necessaries, and forgetful that the
public has learned that 1t has the
power and the means to protect its
interests.
