The surest test of the welfare of the infant is
the regular weekly increase in weight. But you
don't want the added weight to be fat merely.
You want the baby to be strong and muscular
and not merely "roly-poly."
A new baby moves very little. But within a
few weeks it begins to kick and toss its arms
about If its clothing and coverings permit, it
INDUCES in the freest muscular movements.
The young mother must bear in mind that a
tiny baby is a very delicate mOrsel of humanity.
Its back must be supported until the muscles
develop.
1t is not well to lift the baby by g~rasping the
chest under the arms. The best way is to lift
the lower part Of the body by the clothing and
then slip the flat hands under the back. This

Baseball Is. Of course. q simple game in a

Besides, it gets people out-of-doors.
