It's Patriotic
To Keep Well
Bp Vida Camerv. r. ~,

Community Service Society Of New York.
With so many doctors in the
armed forces and with those who
remain becoming buster we find our
selves waiting longer for home calls,
even for acute Illness. to be an
swered. There are certain safe
things you may always do while
waiting for the doctor. Knowing
them may make these waits less
disturbing.
First, put your patient to bed and
make him as comfortable as possible,
If you have thermometer take his
temperature before you give him
anything hot or cold to drink. Your
patient will usually be most COM
Portable with pillow placed well
under his shoulders. If he breatheS
with difficulty a second or third
pillow will help. Find out whether
he feels hot or chilly and cover him
accordingly.
If his feet are cold a hot-water
bottle, covered with a cloth and
tested on your arm to be sure it is
not too hot, will add to his comfort
Never use a hot-water bottle on the
stomach if a patient complains of
pain unless the doctor approves,
Open the window for fresh air and
shield the patient from drafts. Adj
just shades to protect him from light
and glare.
Listen carefully to all your pa
TENTS complaints and write them
down SO that you can report them
accurately to the doctor. Often the
patient forgets to tell the doctor OF
the one complaint which is most
important. Include some OF your
own observations as to temperature,
elimination, pain, cough, restless
ness, drowsiness, changes of color
and variations in breathing. Don't
give medicine without the DOCTOR
advice.
Let the patient rest quietly until
the doctor arrives, but go to his room
frequently to see if he needs atten-

ton. Give him plenty of water to
drink. but limit his food to liquids
and slice or two of toast until the
doctor comes.
These rules on emergency home
nursing are simple: Provide rest,
offer simple nourishment, record
symptoms. Observe them and both
you and your patient will be better
able to respond to the doctors
advice.

still do not fully realize how serious
is your responsibility. just think:
| The health, habits, happiness and
very life of another human being
rest in your hands, and upon your
| decisions. This is no time to talk
| about a necessary care as being
rather announcement" to you. When
is it convenient to any one to take
a baby for a stroll, may I ask?
Your baby boy should be out of
doors both morning and afternoon
on every sunny, still winter day
when he is in good health.
| I am going to tell you few facts
now and want you to believe them
because your baby will be healthier,
and probably catch fewer colds,
II you do.
A cold is an infection 1t is not
caught from clean, fresh, cold air.
To prevent colds, never under any
circumstances (even if rich old
great-aunt insistsD allow any one
infected with a cold to enter the
baby's room or to come near him.
Babies catch cold more easily than
adults. If you have a cold and
must take care of the baby in spite
of it, be sure to wear gauze mask,
and do not go near him unless abso-
lutely necessary. Keep his room
cool, SO to 10 degrees. Babies the
country over will be comfortable in
the cool houses of 1913. Hot. over
dry rooms are bad for infants.
Do not dress your baby too
warmly out of doors because If you
do he will perspire, and then when
you take his wraps off indoors he is
likely to become chilled There is
no need to change his indoor cloth
ing In the winter. If the house is
chilly. let him wear sweater over
his rompers. Please Go not make
him itchy and uncomfortable by
putting wooden shirts on him.
A strong baby may safely go out
OF doors in winter unless the day is
bitterly cold, windy, damp and
cloudy. Place the babys carriage
In a spot protected from the wind,
and his eyes should not directly
face the sun.
Sometimes the suns rays can be
quite potent, even during the cold
months. so a mother should watch
for signs of sunburn. If the baby's
face begins to look very pink he
should be wheeled into shadow. Ex-
posture to the sun should be gradual,
both in summer and winter. Sum-
light is not harmful to the eyes I'M
less the baby has to squint into the
sun itself. Keep him turned SO that
his brow, or his bonnet, shades his
eyes.
Some mothers think that if their
baby is outside in the sunshine, even
though he is bundled up snugly,
that he is gaining benefit from the
suns rays. Unfortunately. this is
not the case as far as those mar
velous ultra violet rays are con-
cerned because they cannot pene-
trate clothing. Exposure to ultra
violet rays causes the babyS body to
develop precious vitamin D, without
which babies cannot grow to be
strong and straight. So even though
your baby is out of doors twice a day
| in fine winter weather you should
still give him cod liver oil, or a
suitable concentrate, because vita
min D is found richly in the livers
of the cod and halibut.
BY all means let your baby boy

When you finish painting take

heavy soapsuds to be sure of re-
