Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDREp.

Colds are such commonplace expert
ences in life that most of us accept
them and make the best of them. In
TACT, there Is generally accepted
theory that there isn't much to be. done
about a cold except to endure it..
One thing we could all do is to avoid
colds. and in the case of the baby this
Is imperative. No one with a cold has
any right to come near children. If
one of the older children has q cold,
keep him away from the baby; II the
mother has one, let her be careful
about breathing In baby's face and
using her handkerchief near him. The
most frequent cause Of colds Is contact
with other persons having them. OF
course, If one is healthy and in good
physical condition he can throw of the
infection, but we can't take such
chances with baby.
The avoidance of colds means that
baby has to have fresh air every hour
of the day and night and be taken out
for an airing every day, cold or warm.
If done consistently, he won't mind it,
and even a 15-minute walk in brisk,
cold air will help to keep him in such
condition that colds won't bother him.
It is the coddled house plant who sniff
f1es as soon as he goes outdoors. He is
kept too warm in the house and his
skin can't react properly to the change
in temperature. Children should be
dressed comfortably In the house, but
there is little use for heavy woolens
when our heating plants keep the house
at a temperature Of IS degrees or over
in many cases. Also the dry air OF
overheated houses is extremely irritat-
ing to the mucous membranes OF the
nose and throat. No wonder we catch
colds easily. Our noses and Threats are
in prime condition for nourishing any
germs that we breathe.
AS soon as the child shows by his
loss of appetite that he is not feeling
up to par, suspect a cold. 1t is an al
most constant forerunner Of this con-
dition Notice it from now on with
your children First of all. they don't
want to eat Then they begin to sneeze
and blov their noses and the cold is on
in full force.
Cut down on their food when appe-
ties are poor. Give them as much
water. orange juice or vegetable soup as
| they will take. These help to counter
act the acidity of the system. Keep the
child quiet and in a moist atmosphere
| of even temperature about 10 degrees OF
slightly above. Keep the child in bed
If he is feverish. Drop little liquid
albolene in his dry nose. II Other
medicines are needed, let your doctor
advise them. Never use half a tablet
designed for an adult in the hopes thai
It will cure the baby. Cold cures, salvei
and drops should be used only under
the expert guidance Of a doctor who
knows what he Is doing.

and in preparing the best possible din
ners from everyday materials-that is
task that is worth any woman's best
efforts, and task for which she is re-
warded thousandfold.
Among this weeks interesting queries
is: What can I do to make my little
boy, who is not very strong, like his
milk? He seems to dislike the taste of
milk.--MrS. D. T. M"
There are several safe ways of adding
different favor to milk to make It
palatable. It Is highly desirable, of
course, for child to like the flavor Of
milk, but il ne doesn't, especially If his
appetite has to be tempted, 1t Is surely
better to make the flavor appeal to him
than to let him 60 without the milk.
| Try adding very well cooked cereal to
milk. Oatmeal cooked TO the flavor of
! jelly gives delicious favor to milk-a
tablespoonful to a glass. Other cereals,
| too, add interesting flavor. Try serving
the milk sometimes very warm, with
| little nutmeg sprinkled on top, or sprin-
| kle little grated chocolate or instant
, cocoa on cold milk, or add matted milk
to the milk, with very little sugar, If
you wish, or add drop or two or three
of vanilla to a glass Of milk. Some
children like pinch Of salt added to
milk; others will eat lots of milk on
crisp. prepared cereal.
Often a raw egg beaten into a glass
of milk is advisable. But find out from
your doctor whether he wishes your
child to have this.
