SAVE THEJABIES Tlm3'y Word to Molhars on Cars ci Infants DariiigHot Weather. ADVICE WORTH HEEDING Health Commissioner Dixon Glvea Rule to Be Observed In Nursing the Baby and For Its Proper Care In GeneralThe Necessity of Pure, Fresh Milk. The hot weather of this season of the year Is extremely dangerous to the lives of infants and young chil dren, not only because of the depres sing effect of high atmospheric tem perature In general, but more espe cially because of the effect of hot weather upon all perishable articles of food, among which cow's milk holds the first place. It Is therefore hiRhly Important that cow's milk to he used for Infants' food should be the purest and freshest that you can afford to buy. During the hot weather ice Is absolutely necessary for the preservation of milk, and all milk used for food should be cooled by Ice as soon as it comes from the cow, and should be kept next the ice until ready to be used. A little money spent for Ice may prevent illness and Its greater expense for medicine, nurs ing and medical attendance. As water Is often a carrier of disease It Is safest to use only boiled water for drinking or the preparation of a baby's food. The following rules will aid you In keeping your baby well during the hot weather, and are given out by the State Department of Health of Penn sylvania: Breast feeding. Every mother should endeavor to nurse her baby. Breast milk Is the natural food of a new born baby. There is no other food that can compare with It. A breast-fed baby has a much greater chance of living than a bottle fed baby. Immediately after birth do not give any kind of artificial food to the baby while waiting for the breast milk to come. Put the baby to the breast every four hours and give nothing else but water that has been boiled. The baby needs nothing else and will not starve. After the milk comes Into the breast nurse the baby every two hours during the day and two or three times at night. Don't nurse the baby whenever it cries. A moderate amount of crying helps to develop the lungs. Babies who are nursed Irregularly or whenever they cry are likely to get Indigestion and then cry the harder from pain. Nurse regularly, and the baby will soon learn to expect Its nursing only at the proper Intervals. Give the baby a little boiled water several times a day. After the baby Is two months old lengthen the time between feeding to two and a half or three hours, with only one or two feedings at night. Do not wean the baby as long as he is gaining, and never do so except by advice of your doctor. Do not follow the advice of friends or neighbors about weaning. If the baby remalr.3 well, but after a time stops gaining in weight, do not think that your milk is of no value, but consult your doctor about adding one or two bottles to help you out. Bottle feeding. If It becomes neces sary to feed the baby entirely or only In part upon the bottle, remember that the greatest cleanliness Is neces sary In all details of the feeding. As soon as a bottle Is finished It should be thoroughly washed with cold water, then cleansed with hot water and borax (one tcaspoonful to a pint of water) and put aside for further cleansing1 before being used again. If you have only a few bottles and it be comes necessary to use the same bot tle for the next feeding, boll it for a few minutes before putting fresh food into It. Never let the baby nurse from the remains of a bottle which he has not finished. Take It away from the crib, pour out the milk and cleanse at once. Stale milk curds sticking to the inside of a bottle after a few hours become poisonous and may contami nate fresh milk coming in contact with them. It is better to have as many bottles as the number of the baby's dally.feedings, so that all the bottles can be boiled' together before the food Is prepared in the morning. Nipples. Tho simpler the nipple the safer for the baby. Do not use com plicated nipples, and under no cir 'cumstances buy, a bottle with a long rubber tube attaohed to the nipple. It cannot be kept clean and will certainly cause bowel trouble. After the bottle Is finished the nipple should be re moved at once, turned Inside out ovei the flnger'and scrubbed with cold wa ter' and a brush kept only for this purpose. After use, always boil the brush. The cleansed nipple should be kept In fresh borax water (one teaspoonfu) of borax to a pint of water) In a cov ered glass. Rinse the nipple In boiling water before using It. Do not put the nipple Into your own mouth to find out whether the milk ii warmed enough. Let a few drops ol of tho milk fall on your wrist; If il feels too hot for your wrist it Is too warm for the baby's mouth. No general Instructions can be given about the preparation of a milk mix ture for your baby. Each baby noedc a cptnblnatlon suited to its dlgeBtlon. The mixture upon which some other baby Is thriving may be too strong oi too weak for your baby. . Let the doctor tell you bow to mix the food. If it Is necestsary to use cream in the mixture do not buy cream It is likely to be stale but get it by pouring off half a pint from the top of a quart bottle of milk, after cleansing the. lip of the bottle. During the summer the baby's food should te brought to scald after it Is prepared. It should then be poured Into the clean bottle, corked with baked clean cotton wool and kept next the ice until needed. Do not heat a bottle when you go to bed and keep It In bed until nursing time, tecause I you do not want to go to the i: box for It and heat It when the baby needs It. This Is a certain way to make tbe baby Flck. Bowel movements A bottle fed baby should have at least one and not more than two oi three bowel move ments a day. If the milk Is clean to btart with and has been kept cold, and all the feeding utensils clean as you have JuBt been told, the baby's movements should be yellow in color, end not too hard to be passed easily, if the movements become greenish in color, but not more frequent than two or three times a day, give one or two leaepoonfuls of castor oil. If tbe color does not Improve after the oil has worked off, consult your doctor. At this time he will be able to prevent the serious bowel trouble with which the baby Is threatened. If the move ments remain green In color and In crease In number to five or six or more In the twenty-tour hours your baby Iq. beginning to have bowel trou ble, or bummer diarrhoea Stop" rr.llk it once, give pure boiled water In stead and call the doctor It may not bo too lute. D. not begin milk feeding again until the doctor orders It You will not starve your baby by stopping tho milk; every drop ot milk tl.nl po"s Into Its stomach alter this warning simply adds to the poison already there. You will cause serious or fatal Illness by keeping up milk food after the bowels become Ioobo and the movements green In color. Vomiting. A bottle fed baby should not vomit if Its food Is pure and prop erly adjusted to its needs. If vomit ings occur it Is usually a sign of ap proaching Illness, either of one of the serious diseases of childhood, or mo: e commonly in hot weather, of summer diarrhoea. Vomiting due to this cause may be the first sign of trouble and the bowels may not become loose nn tll several days later. If vomiting is repeated, itop milk feeding, give boil ed water, cool or of the temperature at which tho milk Is given, and con sult your doctor at once. Clothing. Do not put too much clothing on the baby In summer. Dur ing tho hottest weather remove most of the clothes; a thin loose shirt and a diaper arc sufficient during the day and on very hot sights. Never use clothing made with t!ght waistbands. Petticoats and skirts should be supported by straps over the shoulders. Bathing. Bathe the baby every day. In hot, weather a quick sponging all over later In the day will give com fort and make him sleep better. Wash the baby each time tho diaper Is changed and dry the parts thoroughly before using powder. Wash all soiled diapers and boil them. Never use a dried wet diaper without first wash ing It. Fresh air. Fresh air Is as Important for the baby's health as freBh food During the summer keep the baby out of doors as much as possible. Kee the baby out of the kitchen he mn get a "sunstroke" from too much hoa. Indoors. Eruptions of the skin. If the baby has an eruption or breaking out of the skin, consult a doctor. Do not think that every rash is prickly heat; it may be some serious disease like scar, let fever, measles, smallpox or chick en pox. Extracting the Truth. The late Senator Carmack, of Tenn essee, used to tell a story of a will case where Tom Myers, former Speak er of the Legislature, waa an attorney. The question hinged on the sanity or Insanity of the testator when he made his will, and Mr. Myers was in troducing evidence as to the unsound ness of the mind of the man who made the will at the time he made It He called a witness who had talked with the dead man a few hours be fore he died. "Did you hold conver sation with the testator a short time before he died?" asked Myers. "Yes, sir." "Now, tell the jury what he said. Do not make any comments on what you think be meant or what Interpre tation should be put on the enversa tlon. That will be for the Jury to de cide! Just tell us what he said. Did he say anything to you?" "Oh yes, sir, he said considerable." "Well, tell us one thing? What re mark did he make to you on any aubject? Do you recall any?" "Yes, sir. I recall one remark ha made" "Ah!" said Myers "Now we are) getting on. What did he say?" "Well." replied the witness, "he said he reckoned that Legislature where Tom Myers was Speaker was about the ornerlest Legislature ha aver did see." Jerrold's Wit. On the first night of the represen tation of one ot Jerrod's pieces a suc cessful adapter from tbe French ral lied him on his nervousness. "I," said tbe adapter, "never feel nervous on the first night of my pieces." "Ah, my boy," Jerrold replied, "you are always certain ot success. Your pieces have all been tried before." He was seri ously disappointed with a certain book written by one of his friends. This friend heard that Jerrold had ex pressed his disappointment, and ques tioned him: "I bear you said was the worst book I ever wrote." "No, I didn't," came the answer; "I aald it was the worst book anybody ever wrote." Of a mistaken philanthropist, Jerrold aald be was "so benevolent, so merciful, a man he would have held an unbrella over a duck tn a shower of rain," Argonaut. A Curious Mistake, A married couple stood looking Into a shop window, A handsome tailor made dress took the lady's fancy, and she left her husband) side to exam ine It more cjoaely. 'Then sbe went back to where be had been standing and took his arm. "You never look at anything I want to look at!" she exclaimed. "You don't care how I dress! You don't care for me now! Why, you haven't kissed ma tor three weeks!" "Indeed, I am sorry. It Is not my fault, but my misfortune!" said th man. Turning round she looked at bin and gasped. She had taken the am ot the wrong man. RACKET I ST0RE PRICES FOR JUNE We made mention of a good Lawn Mower that we are selling at $2.50 and $2.65.
