across the hall is occupied by the
mother, who has apparently re-
gained normal health after sew
eral terrifying relapses, and today
goes about her usual household
tasks. The burden of caring for
the famous babies largely has
cen lifted from the parents by
the volunteer services Of neigh
bors and well-wishers all over
North America, by the Canadian
Red Cross, and by the Canadian
government itself.
RED CROSS PAYS BILLS
The Red Cross has assumed the
cost of food, medical attention
and clothing for at least two
years-long if necessary. The
Ontario provincial government
has named four official guard
ians for the tiny girls for two
years - lifting from the father
the burden of business proposals
and arrangements that have
flooded the cottage.
The Red Crosh even plans to
build a small hospital structure
near the Dionne home, fully
equipped with the most modern
children's hospital equipment, and
its own power plant to provide
heat and light. neither of which
is available in the present Dionne
home. Once removed to such q
special building, better and more
orderly care could be assured the
quintupletS, and life could get
back to something like normal in
the Dionne home, where five old,
er brothers and sisters of the
quintuplets must not be forgot,

EACH ONE IN INCUBATOR
The babies lie in a spare room
off the kitchen. each in her
wooden, glasS-covered individual
incubator. Every morning at 8
they are taken from the incuba-
tors and given an oil bath, the
oil gently swabbed on skin that
is too tender to stand soap and
water. The beds in the incuba-
tors sare given a complete
change.
Every three hours the babies
are fed with a dropper equipped
with a rubber nipple on the end.
The nurse gently force the feed
ing if the babes do not take the
prescribed amount of warm 9TH
ers' milk which constitutes their
ration every "a hours. The drop
perS are like an eye-drOpped, but
with barrel about the size OF a
banana.
Mostly, the ouintuplets sleep.
For l6 or II hours of the "a,
they simply sleep. Even now,
after more than two months of
life, they are smaller than many
a newborn babe. Their prema-
ture birth, earlier than normal by
nearly two months. started them
out under a tremendous handi-
cap which they are only now
overcoming. 1t is this long sleep
between feelings that is giving
them the chance to build up to-
ward the Sought-for normal.
IDENTICAL. IN LOOKS
They all look alike. Not only
are they Identical twins, but no
one here knows which was the
oldest. In the confusion attend
ing their birth. the babies were
not marked in order Of their de-
livery. and no one will ever
know. probably, which is the old
est.
Already, however, they have
developed individual character
iStics, an dthe nurses say they
can tell bv the way they react
to the oil swabs during their
daily baths. whether it is Yvonne
or Cecile that is being bathed.
Yvonne is the plumpest; Cecile is
the most vigorous, and stretches
most; Marie has a humorous
growth on on eleg that is not
regarded as serious, and will be
treated later.
EVERYTHING about the little
roughplaStered rooms shows the
influence of modern science and
invention. No money has been
spared to give these babies a bet
ter-than-usual chance to live and
thrive.
A small modern refrigerator
stands in one corner to preserve
the precious mothers milk which
has kept them alive. The weigh
ing scales are the most modern
and accurate obtainable, for
those slight gains of ounces and
half-ounces are what tell the
story of a victory of sciene. and
skill, and devotion over death.
ALL HOSPITAL NEEDS THERE
Here is maze of modern hos
pltal appliances, some of which
have been useful, some of which
are held against any unforeseen
eventuality. There is an oxygen
tank which was used shortly after
the babies birts, when DR.. Dafoe
despaired for a moment of their
lives.
The hospital "air" extends to
every person who enters the ba-
bies' room. Nurses. doctor, visi-

and regulation surgical protective
masks before entering the
