diarrheal attacks, is another source
Of danger.
Outlining the precautions that
should be taken to prevent sickness
among babies during the hot, muggy
days of midsummer, DR.. Knox, said:
BE very particular about protecting
baby against flies. They re likely
to be carriers of disease-producing
germs and are sources of great
danger. They fly from filth to the
baby's food and contaminate the food
with the germs that cause digestive
upset, diarrheal, and the other SYM
ptoms that belong to summer
complaint.
Keep flies away from the baby
from his food, and from the spoons
cups, pans and dishes you use in pre-
pairing his food. Keep them out OF
the house by screening the kitchen
and other rooms. Throw a light
mosquito netting over the baby's Grill
when he takes nap.
BE very careful in preparing the
babys food. Babies who are nurseC

"All cows milk used for the bah

No matter how you figure,
$1,000 worth of fire insurance
won't cover a $4,000 loss. And
if you figure up the value of
your present home furnishings,
you'll probably find the total is
higher than you expected it to
be. And if that total is higher
than your Residence Contents

in getting sufficient additional
insurance properly to protect
you. You can obtain an extra
