Two later, the child put the lollypop back in his mouth and continued sucking it! And yet his mother could not un- derstand why he had colds! seconds Contaminated Food I have pointed out many times that in my opinion, a mother's foremost responsibility is to feed her children a diet that takes into account all the recent amazing discoveries of nutritional science. Only by so doing can she hope to give them a sturdy body with straight bones, strong responsive muscles, a good circulation and sound healthy nerves. But the parent who permits her offspring to eat with unwashed hands and thus take countless germs into his body with every mouthful of food is scarcely giv- ing that food a chance to build mother desires for her child. On the contrary, she is risking the Keeping Everlastingly at It Most babies are kept clean by their mothers because know that they can babies well them clean.

These include the daily bath; the daily change into clean clothing; the frequent washing of the hands, and always before eating; the (twice-daily brushing of the teeth; regular | elimination; regular hours for meals; and the necessary hours for outdoor play and for sleep. What About the School 7 Mothers must remember—and | must emphasize to their children —that diseases may often be traced to unclean hands, and to germs sprayed in the air by per- sons having coughs and colds Teach your children to muffle every cough and sneeze in a hand- kerchief. And be sure they have a handkerchief handy for the pur- | pose. Teach them to keep their fingers out of their mouths, like- | wise pencils and other objects. | Teach them to wash the hands and | face frequently. If they are to carry out this last { instruction, it is imperative that | soap and towels be available in school wast s, as well as at | home. Investigate conditions at the school your child attends. If facilities are not adequate, do something about it. Either arouse other mothers to help rectify the omissions, or failing that—have your child carry soap and paper | towels from home! | By teaching cleanliness to your children, by making it a regular part of their training, you will | help to safeguard their health and | the health of every other child with whom they come in contact in their daily lives. ©O—-WNU —C.
