How To Keep
Yourself Well

What is wrong with my baby? He
will be two in July. l cannot have
a plant in reach or let him out OF
doors. but he eats dirt. Tell me
what to do.
Your little boy is probably very
nervous or has some stomach trou-
BILE.
The condition is not rare in per-
| fectly normal children, and is also
seen in those who are mentally de-
fective.N
You should watch the baby to
prevent him from eating the un-
wholesome substances.
The digestion, nervous condition
and general health should be i'm

kets? What is the treatment for

six months old, He weighed 8h
pounds at birth, weighs IAN pounds
now. is breast fed. but does not seem
to be in good condition.
He is cross and fretful most all
the time. As a rule he sleeps but
very little during day. and very often
Is restless and nervous at night. For
some time past his head has been
perspiring very freely while nursing
or at times when asleep.
We are in the country, and have
been very careful about giving him
plenty of fresh air and outings.
The usual early symptoms OF
ricketts, include sweating of the head,
extreme restlessness at night, on
stipation, and the presence OF little
nodules at the junction of the ends
Of the ribs and their c~artilages.
The head is apt to appear large In
proportion to the rest OF the body;
the bones of the arms and legs may
be curved, with enlarged ends, and
the child Is apt to be "pot-bellied."
A rschitic child is usually late in
walking and teething, and if the
case is marked. anemia is usually
present.
Your little boys weight shows he
is not gaining as he should and in
dicates that something Is wrong.
What this is can only be determined
by a medical examination. 1t Is I'M
possible to make a diagnosis merely
from a description in a letter.
You are fortunate in being in the
country where he can have plenty
of fresh air and sunshine. and you
can obtain a liberal supply of milk
and green vegetables for your own
diet.
If the condition is ricketts,. treat
ment with cod liver oil Is often at
tended with excellent results. How
ever, do not attempt to treat the
child yourself, but consult your
family doctor. and. If necessary.
have him refer Won to a qualified
specialist in children's diseases.

campaign in harmony.
The ban was placed on short

The regulations are enforced by
the judicial board. composed of

school sororities, and one elected

time to time she gets hives.
Grinding the teeth, frequently
noticed in children during sleep. is
usually due to some gastro-intestinal
disturbance, or to some nervous ir-
ritation.
From the facts that your little
II has also a poor appetite and
suffers from repeated attacks of
hives, there is reason to believe that
she probably has more or less
chronic Indigestion.
l would suggest that you have
her examined by your family physi-
clan, regulate her diet and general
hygiene very carefully, and watch
her weight.
There is considerable danger of q
