WASTE
Our idea of complete waste

last week I had TWO teeth
that hurt worse than yours"

And then there's the one
about the errant husband who
came home slightly inehriated
and with traces of lip-stick
here and there. Said he to his
spouse, II refuse TO answer
any questions on the grounds
that it would tend to incrim-
mate me!"

ANSWER
Answer to pie question: If
one and a half men can eat
one and a half pies in one
and a half minutes, then twice
as many men can eat twice
as many pies in the same
time. If three men can eat
three pies in one and half
minutes then one can eat one
pie in one and a half minutes.
In 30 minutes, one man can
eat 30 divided by one and one
half or 20 pies. Three men
would be needed to eat go pies
in 80 minutes!

Summer Buby Tips For porenfs

him. Never use borated powder
or, one. containing boric ACID IN
any form. Doctors now recognize
bofic acid products as the source
OF many baby ailments, such as
dialrnea and stomach upsets, to
be symptoms of boric acid poison
ing through areas Of diaper rash.
a. Change diapers frequently
when baby is awake, up to the
age Of six months. Before putting
him to sleep, dress him in diaper
that has been rinsed in a solution
made with diaparene chloride
tablets, which the best diaper SER
vices use. Diapers rinsed this way
give up to fifteen hours protec-
ton against rash.
S. Always place pins in diapers
horizontally, never vertically.
Never leave a loose or open pin
near the baby; stick the open end
securely into pad out of infants
reach until you are ready to use
it. Place your hand between dia-
per and baby when pinning.
6. Feed the baby as the doctor
orders. Don't try any experiments:
Never give the baby "just a sip"
or "just a taste" of something
you are having that he seems to
cry for. Babies stomachs are lust
as young and sensitive as they
are.
z. Remember, it takes many
years to earn the MD. degree; so
don't think just because you are
a mother, that in some mystical
way you have acquired medical
wisdom, too. Don't ever give your
child any medicine other than
that prescribed by the doctor. Al
ways consult your physician If
you have any reason to suspect
that baby is ill.

Of wind, in the mistaken belief
that these summer elements are
beneficial. Strong sun and wind
are both uncomfortable and harm
full to an infant. Babies are hap
piest and healthiest when they
are kept clean and comfortable:
To keep your baby happy and
contented in fne summer heat,
observe these basic rules:
1. Keep baby out of the direct
rays of the sun; protect him from
strong winds.
2. Battle baby daily in water
that is tepid, never cold. Use a
soft cloth or a sponge and clean
him gently with a mild soap.
Clean all "creases" thoroughly.
Clean his nostriIs with absorbent
cotton dipped in water and
squeezed dry. Clean the outer
part of the ears gently. Do not
try to poke into them with any
thing other than soft washcloth.
3. Dust baby we'll with a good
powder, preferably one contain
ing the new healing antiseptic,
diaparene chloride, which gives
prolonged protection against dia-
per rash and prickly heat. If baby
already has a diaper rash, use a
diaparene chloride ointment on
