months; if born in the winter months, 1t should be outside at six weeks of age. Since 1t Is difficult under modern apartment conditions to put the baby outside, the best substitute is to put him dressed up as if he were going outdoors, in his carriage in front of an open window and close the door of the room to prevent a direct breeze over the baby's head.
 The mere fact that some babies have been placed outdoors in severe weather without harmful results does not indicate that this is the best procedure. It merely indicates that the babies were able to stand the rigors of climate to which other babies might easily succumb.
 Dr Tisdall makes the practical suggestion that cold cream be rubbed on the face of the baby be. fore 1t is put outside in cold weather lin order to prevent chapping.

 Almost all mothers now know that the baby ought to have fresh air but few mothers have any definite idea of just what constitutes fresh air or exactly how much the baby ought to be in fresh air atmos- phere.
 Actually a baby ought to be in fresh air all the time, with the un- dertanding that fresh air means air that is not stagnant, that is changed by proper ventilation, and of tenn perature suitable to the condition of the baby's tissues. Outdoor air is fresher for these reasons than in- door air.
 pr Frederick F. Tisdall suggests that the baby ought to be put out doors to sleep as early as two weeks of age, if born in the summer

 his material for the following arti- gle prepared especially for the Democrat:
 r Protecting Atheir children's health ss one of the most Important inter- ests of most parents, but how best to go about the problem is a matter Cor careful study.
 1 The dangers of those diseases which from the frequency and per- Ntstence of their attacks upon child -dren's diseases" are well known. For = few of these there are adequate preventive measures.
 It is desirable to postpone infec- tious diseases as long as possible. 1rreparable harm, in the way of af- factions of the heart, chronic ear trouble with resulting deafness, chronic nose and throat and chest infections, some times follows in the wake of most of the infectious dis eases.
 Immunity to disease may be nat ural or acquired. Natural immunity consists in the infection resisting power with which the individual is born.
 In general, fatigue, chronic disor- der of nose and throat, the presence I0f one infectious disease, all increase the individuals susceptibility to dis lease. The newborn and nursing baby has some immunity to dis- eases. probably acquired from the mother. which wears off during the tlrst year.
 1 Immunity to disease may be Acquired in various ways: 1) by Ehaving the disease, (2) by the grad lual resistance that is built up as Q result of many contacts with the germ or it's toxin in insufficient amounts to cause the disease itself, fAnd (3) by protective inoculation. Better than either isolation from disease or exposure is to give the Echild immunity without risk or ac- fQutring the disease. To-day this can Ibe done for some diseases by pre- Iventive inoculati6n. The procedure Twill be discussed in the description F0f each disease.
 Types and Symptoms of Children's Diseases. The infectious diseases most com mon to childhood are scarlet fever, measles. German measles, chicken BOX, whooping cough, humps. diph- Hheria, and the "common cold" |, All these diseases are the result Of disease germs entering the nose or tmouth. They are spread by con- Hact with persons suffering from the kAisease. or by contact with we'll per- sons with germs in their noses or khroats.
 | The most common general symp- toms of any acute infectious disease are fatigue. irritability, listlessness f4r drowsiness, fever, sore throat, loss 1ame way as do the acute infectious diseases. They may be followed by serious complications such as chronic running ears. mastoid trou- ble. or pneumonia. Colds are spread

by human contact only. Drafts, in-
 sufficient clothing, wet feet, and Ioverheating seem to lower the child's
 resistance to the germs with which
 he constantly comes in contact. The general rules for the prevefl- tion of the spread of colds apply in the case of any infectious disease. Covering the nose and mouth when
 coughing or sneezing, and avoiding all contact with persons suffering from "colds" or grippe are precau- tions to be taught every child. If we are to prevent contact with the germ sufficient to cause disease, 1t is important for the mother to recognize the possibility of an in- fectious disease in any acute ill-
 ness. This often necessitates the isolation of the child from others before the condition is entirely ob- vious.
 The Care of the Sick Child. The isolation of a slightly sick child is difficult thing, particular
 ly when the mother has all the fam-
 fly duties on her hands. But in re- ality the busy mother Is the one who profits most by isolating a child promptly because in so many
 instances, the illness does turn out to be contagious, and one i'll child is all the mother can handle. One ingenuity to provide entertainment. But it is asking too much to ex- pect half-sick child to lie abed with nothing to do. Materials for quiet play, such as colored paper. scissors, paste, crayons, paper dolls. books. puzzles. or favorite toys saved for such occasions should be pro- vided.
 The child who Is mot himself'' is easily recognized by an understand ing mother. When a child feels tired, has a running" nose or eyes, complains of pain, is irritable or in bed. in a room alone. or at least away from other children. Rest in bed is good treatment for any illness. mill or severe, If the ill- ness is mild and short, Q rest will help it to pass off. If 1t is serious, rest in bed is essential. For the child
 who uses imaginary illness as an excuse, the best cure will be en- forced rest.
 There is a common idea that vomiting is always due to something the child has eaten. As matter of fact it is one of the cOmmonest infection, without any regard to
 what the child has eaten. If the child refuses food, do ~not torment him. The one concern is to see that he gets enough fluid, which Is at least one quart a day. As a
 rule, i'll children take either plain water or fruit juices with sugar add ed better than they take milk. It is a great help if the mother knows how to take the child's tenn perature. She should notify her doctor of the presence of fever com bined with other of the above named symptoms.
 In the following suggestive de- scriptions of the onset of acute in- fectious disease. no attempt has been made to picture the course of
