be classified as a domestic fatality.
Home perils are falls, cuts, burns

often occur because something has

According to a local veterinary the

about one sixth of this population is
licensed each year, the law allowing
that pups need not be licensed until
they are year old. Only about 125
licenses have been sought so far this
year at the city clerks office. Of
course in this as in every other COM

WARM WEATHER IS
APPROACHING

The mild cool days of Spring will
soon be over and we will be getting
intoi that most trying period for all
children, namely, the hot Summer
months. At this season of the year
there should be careful preparation
of simple foods. A youngsters
digestive organs should not be over
taxed by feeding him rich oily foods,
which also tend to increase the body
heat.
Plenty of milk should be given DUR
ing the warm weather. Pasteurized
milk should be used in preference to
raw milk. If pasteurized milk is not
obtainable the raw milk should be
scalded to kill any bacteria that may
be present.
OF course, Condensed Milk can
always be used with an assurance of
safety, providing a standard brand is
used.
Water that has been boiled, then
cooled (not iced) should be given
freely during the warm weather.
Keep baby out of doors as much as
possible, but not in the sun, whenever
the weather permits.
In view OF the fact that the acute
intestinal diseases are the cause of
such high infant mortality every
mother should begin at once taking
precautions to prevent this unneces-
sary loss of life. IF every mother
would make it point to learn all the
precautionary methods which can be
used to, prevent bowel trouble the
infant mortality rate during the Sum-
rner months would be greatly reduced.
Any attacks of vomiting, diarrhea, or
green undigested bowel movements
occurring in infants under eighteen
months of age during hot weather.
should be regarded very seriously, and
should be given prompt and immediate
attention. Such signs are very often
warnings of dangerous intestinal dis
orders and your physician should be
consulted at once.
The hot Summer months are prac-
tically here. A mother should not
wait until it becomes unbearably hot,
but get ready now and make prepara-
ton for avoiding Summer complaint.
Care and precaution on the part of the
mother will materially help her child
pass this dangerous period. The
Health Center, Welfare Station, Pub
lie Health Nurse, or dispensary IN
your city viii gladly give you further
information regarding the care of
yUur child during the hot weather.
