Your Baby and Mine
Summer Problems.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Children should wear the fewest pos
sible clothes in the Summertime and
be outdoors most of the day. Most of
them will want to 60 barefooted. All
of these blessings can be enjoyed only
in Summer along with mosquito bites
bee stings, prickly heat, sunburn. not
to mention stone bruises and rusty nails
in feet.
Sunburn Is a serious thing. No won

II the sun never once peeks out. Is fol-
lowed by q week of frenzied attention
to a sore skin. You have to take over
this responsibility for children who
won't protect themselves.
Rub the child's skin with mineral oil
before sending him out In the sun to
play. Afterward rub him literally with
cold cream, and the kinds containing
almond oil have been found the most
eficacious. For very bad burns use the
regular burn remedy. .carron oil.

skin. Put him in q cool bath several
times during the day and dissolve some
baking soda In the bath. Then dab a
baking soda solution directly on the
skin and let dry on. Keep him cool
and the heat will disappear.
Bites can be relieved of their stings
by the application of weak household
ammonia. Then anoint them with
some menthol preparation, which keeps
the itch away.
And those knee cutsl From early
Spring my children's knees always bore
some bruise or cut. Wash the dirt from
the cut or briise thoroughly Then use

in this household except carron oil.

footwear. for it gives their feet all the
airing necessary while still protecting
them from bruises and cuts.

"Send-It" Habit Is Acquired
By Washington Housewives

The past week might aptly be called
send it-week" Few shoppers during
the warm spell were inclined to carry
parcels. If, indeed. they visited their
favorite stores at all. Rain and heat

matter OF fact is at once the friend and
enemy Of all retailers. The clothing

less nourishment In Summer than In
