Why the Baby Must Drink Water

diminishes the habitual ration
of food. An insufficient supply
of water is the result and the
state of the baby is aggravated.
In all cases OF habitual vonit-
ing, a regular supply OF water
through the recturn, by means OF
an enema, is considered absolutely
indispensable and has an import
ant curative effect.
Diarrhoea frequently causes
drainage Of the body fluids Of the
baby, especially IL it is of pro.
longed and violent nature. Every
mother should bear in mind thas
in diminishing the quantity OF
milk during diarrhoea she should
always supply her baby with
sufficient amount Of water to
make up the deficiency.
What are the most important
symptoms Of dehydration, as the
drainage of water is called, in the
baby? If the dehydration is very
marked, It Ia characterized with
a dry tongue and infrequent uri'
nation. The urine is changed in
color and stains the linen simply
because 1t IL more concentrated
and dark. But at the very start
of the trouble the tongue may be
moist and the urine not changed
in an appreciable way.
The most important, the most
certain and the earliest symptom
of the baby's dehydration is a sud
den loss OF weight. The loss Of
weight resulting from a disease
or from an insufficient feeding is
always more or less gradual
Therefore. the first thing the doc.
tor thinks about in the case OF a
sudden loss of weight is to add to
the baby's food a sufficient guam
tlty Of water, either by giving
sweet water to drink, or by means
of an enema.

Betty felt safe after she had

In the course of the next three

Betty's timidity wore away.
On the Trail
She watched the two men set
out along a faint trail into the
desert on the morning of the
fourth day, leaving her to at

for herself, without a tremor Of
fear. When they had gone she
turned back and Strengthened up

PRUNING ANT
POPULATION

IN hot, arid countries, where in.
i sect food may be lacking or
very scarce, ants become. in part,
vegetarians. In many of the har-
vesting ants. the larger workers,
or soldiers, have enormously de-
veioped heads to support the
powerful muscles by means OF
which their large jaws are
worked. These workers are
literally living "nut-crackers" for
the rest OF the community, and
they crush UP the hard seeds
when required for food.
When these large workers are
Of mo- further use to the colony,
the other ants cut off their heads
and throw them on the refuse
heap. This is very drastic, but
effective, method Of getting rid of
a superflous working class.
