WARNS PARENTS
ON BABY CARE
FOR HOT DAYS
Doctor Advises Close Guard
on Food and Keeping
Infant at Home.

Need for extreme care in tend
ing infants and children during the
hot weather season was cited to-
day by DR.. Herman G. Morgan, city
health officer.
Contrary to the belief of the
average citizen, hot weather is the
healthiest season of the year, pro-
vided hygienic measures pertaining
to diet, clothing and exercise are
followed. 1t is time when fresh
air and ventilation are forced on
every citizen in order to obtain
comfort. In addition great deal
of time is spent outdoors" DR.. Nor
gan said.
There is one class of the pop
ulation, however, upon which ex-
tremely warm weather is trying
that Is the infant and early age
group of children. The maiady
which infants and children most
frequently succumh to during the
summer is castro intestinal infec-
ton or summer complaint.
Guard Milk Closely
This condition generally results
from two principal causes con-
taminated food or milk and chill
during the night. AS milk is the
principal food for the bottle fed
group of infants as we'll as growing
children, extreme care should be
exercised in protecting milk from
contamination.
This can best be carried out by
seeing that milk for children Is al
ways kept under proper refrigera-
ton. Ice and milk are inseparable
from the health standpoint in hot
weather.
milk left in the sun for even
half hour will generate an increase
in bacteria content many fold.
Milk with such infectious material
becomes a poison instead of food.
The mistake is frequently made
when a child developes early
symptoms Of summer complaint of
keeping the child on its regular diet.
Resort to Liquid Diet
"The proper procedure is 70
clean out the intestinal tract with
oil and keep the infant or child
upon water or liquid diet for
twenty-four or forty-eight hours.
This gives opportunity for the in
fected part of the intestinal tract
to clear itself and not be irritated
by food passing over the infected
surface.
"By adopting this measure and
consulting the family physician
early the infant mortality rate
from such infections can be greatly
reduced.
"The body should be comfortably
clothed during hot weather. One
part of the body should always be
protected with light garment or
binder, particularly at night.
= namely, the abdomen. Two or three
tepid baths a day will assist
future citizen in weathering the
hot spells and will make the child
less fretful and irritable.

not stand vacations well, for this
means change of environment and
food. These changes are not borne

is a baby may be messengers OF

 For the first time in her life she i inquired about rates before taking accommodations In q hotel, and when she was at last alone in the cheapest room in the Ritz had to offer she locked the door and turned to survey her new quarters and her new life.
 | She had been in humber cham bers in obscure stopping places when travelling in -the-way villages and towns with her father. But that had all been adventurous, romantic, while this was common place: first visible result of her change from the petted daughter of wealth to penniless girl with bit ter, staggering undertaking ahead of her. blocking off her happiness if she failed in it.
 A lump rose In her throat and fear. ghastly. paralyzing fear, froze 1t there. What a mad thing she had done to make such a rash bargain with Frederick Dean, She had told hlm she d rather die than marry him, but that escape would not clear her fathers name. She could visual lze grave, white haired, venerable men sitting in club windows, whis- pering over the stories Dean would set afloat.
 She couldn't hear 1t. The lump in her throat was torn away on a strangled cry and she dropped into q heap on the floor. where she lay tor a long time, inert, her mind stunned with the shock and griel that had come upon her in such q swiftly moving succession of mis. fortune.

 Virginia pardoned him for that. divining that he meant it as a favor. Wait for me-" she directed as he turned back to the door. |, Well, well, what can I do for i, you, young lady?" the pawnbroke asked when Virginia turned her at tention to him. He was peering at her from under shaggy brows with a | seriousness that was not in accord with his professionally cheerful voice.
 T wish you to look at a ring" she said with determined poise. She did not want him to know that this was the first time shed ever been in such a place. With a quick move- ment she pulled the sapphire ring from her finger and handed it to 1 him.
 He bent over it for an instant and ! then said, Wait" in a blank tone that told Virginia nothing of his inn pression of it. She stood while he took it to light and studied the sapphire under a magnifying glass. Do you want to sell it." he bark ed at her finally.
 "Oh. no. Id just like to secure a loan on it." she answered quickly startled at the thought of parting with the ring permanently. "How much do you want?' "As much as you will give me- | she told him simply. with no idea o1 bargaining. but because she did nQ know the exact value of the gem.

 "WeN, If it's an address in New York you want I'll get it for you" the driver said in answer 10 Vir- ginia's reckless statement. He had pulled his cab over to the curb and sat. head turned to face his fare, while tfie motor idled noisily,

To tell an unknown taxi cab driver that she wished to obtain . loan on a valuable ring. just be- cause he looked sympathetic, was foolhardy to say the least. and Vir- ginia knew 1t. She had been trained in the ways of the rich who know how to guard themselves from un- necessary risks and she was taking herself to task now for her impetu- osity. But the driver was waiting and he did look like . decent, regular person. Virginia threw caution to the winds and decided to chance his hon. esty.

 right, terrified with a new thought. Those pearls represented the only barrier between her and dire want! What if they were not hers after all! They might have to go in the liquida- tion of her fathers estate!
 For the first time since SC had
 been deprived of her father. her

 friends, Virginia faced squarely the
 thought of poverty. It was soul trying ordeal for one who was utter ly at a loss without funds. But how little it would have mattered to her if she could have been sure of a future with Nathaniel, Then she could have found diversion in learn ing to bear an economic responsi-

 The drivers voice recalled her to
