The one serious danger to the
average baby in summer arises from
disturbances of the digestion. Some
one has said, however. that many of
the deaths every summer which are
said to be caused by gastric and in
festival Diseases" should really
have been attributed to bad feed
ing"
In other words. a pitifully large
number of these illnesses and many
deaths could be prevented IL the
baby had been fed in the best way
from the start. Since a disturbance
OF this sort may become serious in
a few hours in very hot weather,
there is greater need than ever for
care at this time of wear.
Breast-fed babies are far less like

than the n who is fed otherwise,
but even a breast-fed baby may be-

too often or at irregular hours, or in

This was the inscription on the

Bonnie Makes Mistake


Another incident stands out in
the performance of "Skoal."
Bonny's pet affection is being per-
fectly honest about her feelings. She
applies her theory unfortunately,
mercilessly.
Benny insisted upon kissing Jack
every time she greeted him at the
Little Playhouse.
II like kissing people I like" she
explained t. Jeanne, who had re-
proved her. ~ kiss my relatives
and girl friends because l like them.
l kiss Peg. 1 like her. Why
shouldn't l kiss her husband? 1
like him. It's the same thing"
Il guess that's the whole trouble
with fappers. They can't see rea-
sons for conduct-but reasons exist
just the same" said l to Me. Girls
have been granted the power and in
1uence of adults nowadays. but they
haven't any backgrounds of expert
ence and sense. l wonder IL she is
trying to make me t~ealous?"
Then it dawned on me suddenly
that Bonny was kissing Jack in
order to make Bart envious!
Bart was handsome, a regular
movie hero. Girls OF all ages were
crazy about him. He was obliged TO
hold a reception on the stage every
night.
"Peggins!" he would plead. Keep
between me and the fiappers."
Don't you like 'em, Bart? Why
not?"
young men don't" he replied.
Because the old men have manu-
featured the modern cuties. Old
MASTERS. like George Bradshaw. like
ignorance in girls. But their idea
OF the perfect flapper looks silly to
me. And to lots of the boys
Said I to Me:
This is news for Bonny!"
"Peggins. does the vamping iap-
per think young men are blind and
deaf? Haven't most OF us grown
UP with sisters? Haven't we OBJ
served the ways OF girls from in
fancy right at home?
Cant we distinguish the natural
from the artificial? Why. we're not
one bit imposed upon, It's silly for
. happer to think she can fool us
because she can fool the old men so
easily See?"
nodded. I could see Benny was
making a terrible mistake. She
adored Bart. Nevertheless. she made
herself odious to him by her cutie
ways.
1 was dying to tell my husband
how Bart Elliott had been framed"
by Mr.. Hearle. but / knew he
wouldn't understand. Whoever heard
of a millionaire father scheming to

comes on Of itself. or 1t accompanies
many diseases, such as measles. scar
let fever, diphtheria. mumps and
the Ike. and then the nasal dis
charges are catching"
The child may al the outset suffer
from chiiliness and headache, and
give evidence Of being out Of sorts.
Then the nose runs" a watery
secretion appearing: with this the
nose gets clogged up and the child
snuffles. breathes with difficulty. and
has to keep its mouth open to
breathe at all.
The obstruction is worse when
the child is lying on its back, caus-
ing much discomfort at night: in in
fants. indeed. attacks OF suffocatlon
may result and breast feeding be
interfered with.
After a time the watery secretion
increases and at the end Of a day
or two becomes considerable in
quantity. the swelling Of the mucous
membranes of the nose at the same
time ~lessening. so that the nose
breathing becomes easier. The dis
charge. while it becomes less in
quantity. becomes also thicker, and
finally dries up altogether after a
week or two.
The child is at first languid and
unfit for any exertion, but bright
ezs up somewhat after the first two
or three days.
There is a great tendency for the
catarrh to pass downward to the
bronchial tubes and the lungs: and
this constitutes the chief danger OF
nasal catarrh in childhood.
Recurring colds must. therefore,
not be treated lightly: they may
lead TO bronchitis Or pneumonia.
A cause must be carefully sought
in ill-ventilated and overheated
nurseries. In stomach troubles, In
cold extrem!ties, in injudicious ex-
posure. And the discovered cause
must be removed before any treat
ment will avail.
