Hot weather is a trial to the baby.
wkd dk
It affects his food, his clothing and
his disposition.
In summer, baby’s food can be al-
tered—he does not need so much sol-
id food.
sk Rkk
Clothing is important to the baby
in hot months.
kkk
He should be clothed lightly so
that his skin will not be irritated.

He may wear only a loose diaper.
HkkkE
In hot weather, infants often break
out with a pimply rash on the neck,
face and other parts.
ok kkk
Such a rash is commonly known as
prickly heat.

It is usually the result of dressing
the baby too warmly.
Babies should not be exposed to
summer sun for too long a period.

RECENT RECORD OF
G. 0, P. LEGISLATURE
l Pittsburgh. —— State Democratic
Chairman David L. Lawrence declar-
{ed the other day that the record of
the 1943 Republican controlled legis-
lature “is so bad that even the strong
stomachs of professional Republican
apologists rebel ai its contemplation.
In a speech prepared for delivery
| at an Allegheny county Jefferson day
dinner, Lawrence charged that the
Legislature was “marked by indiffer-
ence and failures, was poorly led by
the Republican governor and was ut-
terly lacking in the spirit of these
critical times.”
“Gov. Martin could get anything
he wanted from that legislature,”
Lawrence said. “Instead, the General

babies—some are benefitted — others (hind, and the session withered in in-

CANNING INSPECTION AT
NEW PEAK DURING 1942
i The official inspection of canning
crops in Pennsylvania reached an
all-time - record high of 353 million
pounds during the 1942 season, Sec-
retary of Agriculture Miles Horst
has announced.
The previous high point was in
1941 when 312 million pounds of
| crops grown for processing were in-
| spected by Agriculture Department
inspectors.

decision, neglect and inaction.
| “The Republican majority in the
{ State Senate even killed legislation
| aimed at wiping out black markets
in Pennsylvania—without a protest
| from our war Governor.”
The only constructive piece of leg-
lislation passed by the legislature, he
| said, was “a last minute, second-
thought amendment” to an act that
| granted powers to the State Defense
Council.
Lawrence further charged that the
Legislature had:
“Failed to extend the state’s shel-
tering care to the children of moth-
ers working in war industries.
“Enacted legislation making it
more difficult for war workers to
vote in Philadelphia.
“Killed legislation which would
have given all returning soldiers a
share in p.nemployment compensa-
tion should they be unabie to find
work immediately.
“Adopted a post-war planning pro-
gram modeled on the lines of For-
mer Governor James’ ridiculous job
moblization campaign.
“Created a record number of com-
missions, all with fat appropriations,
to study problems which it is the
legislature's duty to face and not to
evade.”
Lawrence said the Republican Ad-
ministration “came into Harrisburg
with fair words and patriotic spee-
ches,” and declared “they gave the
people as political a session as this
state has ever seen.”

| MAIZE SEEKS NEW
ELECTRIC TRAILIANG
CABLES FOR MINES
Richard Maize, acting mines secre-
duction Board “to take immediate
steps” to assure the anthracite and
bituminous mines of Pensylvania an
adequate supply of new electric trail-
ing cables for mining equipment.
Unless such actions are taken “at
the very earliest moment,” Maize de-
rate many mines in ‘the |
and soft coal fields “with a :eason-
able degree of safety, and to main-
tain necessary production.
Maize, who has fought successful-
ly on previous occasions for relaxa-
tion of federal regulations hampering
coal production, said he had placed
the matter directly before Donald
Nelson, WPB director; Harold Ickes,
solid fuels coordinator, and Arthur S.
Knoisen, director of W. P. B.’s min-
ing equipment division.
Declaring that the state mine in-
spectors had been countenancing de-
fective cables because of the vital ne-
cessity of continued fuel production,
Maize said they now feel “they
should no longer continue to jeopard-
ize the lives of the men working in
the mines—and, unless something is
done immediately, production will
certainly decrease.”
In many cases, Maize asserted, ca-
bles have been spliced and respliced
so often that their continued use en-
dangers the lives of the men hand-
ling them and multiplies hazards of
fires and explosions to such an ex-
tent that the defective cables wil
have to be discontinued.”

MILK.
Milk production per cow in Penn-
sylvania on April 1st averaged 18.2
pounds and represented about the
customary seasonal increase for that
period of the year, according to the
report of the Federal-State Crop Re-
porting Service issued by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture Miles Horst.

GARDENERS ADVICE ON
RIDDANCE OF RABBITS
In order to limit the number of
telephone calls which have been mak-
ing him step lively for the past sev-
eral weeks, to say nothing of the vol-
uminous correspondence—all from
potential Victory Gardeners — Game
Protector Bruce W. Catherman has
offered the folowing suggestions for
discouraging that nemisis of all city
and town gardeners, the lowly rab-
bit.
One repellent commonly reported to
be very effective is powdered lime
sprinkled lightly on the plants when
they are damp. The sprinkling of
dusting sulphur liberally over the]
plants is also effective. Others in- |
clude wood ashes and red pepper pris. |
ed and sprinkled on the plants; three
ounces of epsom salts to one gallon |
of water; or one teaspoonful of cre- |
olin or lysol to one gallon of water. |
Dried blood or blood meal may be]
sprinkled on and along the rows of |
plants, and rain only makes it more |
effective. In the case of small back- |
yard gardens, the bloody water in|
which meat or poultry has been]
washed should be saved and sprinkled |
on the vegeiables. If properly used,
none of these is injurious to the plan- |
ts but rabbits do not like them. |
Some of the regular commercial
sprays when properly used serve a
dual purpose, Protector Catherman
pointed out, Among the commercial
insecticides, “‘Blackleaf Forty” (a to- |
bacco extract) used in the proportion !
of two teaspoonfuls to one gallon of |
soapy water is effective in controll- |
ing many of the common garden in- |
sect pests, and is also a satisfactory
repellent to rabbits. The frequency
with which these repellents must be
used depends upon the amount of the !
rainfalland the rate of plant growth. |
Game Protector Catherman said
that some people have had splendid
success by stretching rope, heavy
cord, binder twine, or similar mater-
ial, soaked in creosote around vege-
table beds a few inches from the
ground. Others have used empty soft
drink, catsup, or other bottles, on
| their vegetable beds. These are plac- |
| ed on the ground, neck down, at few
{ feet intervals over the vegetable
| beds and apparantly the reflection of
| light from the bottles scares the rab-
| bits away. |
| Another device consists of stretch-
ing heavy string or cord around the
vegetable bed about eighteen inches
above the ground, depending upon the
| kind of crops grown, and attaching
| thereto white cloth sreamers about a
foot apart. These streamers should
not quite reach the ground, and when
| the wind blows they will be more ef-
fective. Moth balls scattered around
the edge of the garden or vegetable
bed have been successful in many
instances in keeping rabbits, as well :
as deer, from destroying crops.
There a “gther simple
p e made
produce the desired results. Those
who know about other successful
ones should share that knowledge
with their neighbors, Game Protector
Catherman said.

| STATE INSPECTS TOURIST
CABIN CAMPS ANNUALLY
Tourist Cabin Camps in Pennsyl-
vania are inspected annualy by the
Sanitary Officers of the State De-
partment of Health with particular
attention paid to water supplies, me-
thods of waste disposal and food hsn-
dling where meals or refreshments
are served.
A survey by district sanitary offi-
cers of the health department in 1939 |
showed a total of 829 Tourist Cabin |
Camps located at favorable sites al-
ong the more frequently traveled hi-
ghways, and at points of scenic or
historical interest in the rural sec-
tions.
In ten years the business had
grown from a few isolated camps in-
to a flourishing activity. Last year
there was a pronounced drop in the
number actually open for business.
DO YOU KNOW?
Smallpox, which 150 years ago, was
the greatest scourge of mankind, is
entirely eradicated in many extensive
areas.
Arthritis, or inflammation of the
joints, cripples more than 6,500,000
persons in the United States and cau-
ses more days lost from work than
industrial accidents.
