This is the ace of the child. "Within the last few years, humanit has suddenly awakened to a truth voiced centuries ago by the Gentle Master, that "even the leas-t of thehe" should not suffer. The ancient Spartan ideal of the "ur-vival of the fittest" had its mtritb. perhaps. But the new American Twentieth Centurj ideal becks not only to conserve the babiet that are already here, but to eliminate the racially unfit by proper pre-natal care.

For three das. learned scientists, nursefc and social workers from all tlio large cities in the countr hae been meeting Jn Washington. From every possible angle. een that of tentiment. they have considered the welfare of the baby.

Instead of being appalled at the en eral Ignorance that seems to prevail about the commonest phenomena that exist in nature, these speciality quietly set to work with their remedial measures.

Its welfare societies, dispensaries and other phases of "baby work." Naturallj, it has reached it grcalest cegrce of efficiency so far in the moie congetted centers, where it Is most needed As pointed out one of the Meak-ers at a t-ectwn of the congress, th child of the pauper Is now having an equal chance with the child of thf prince, because of this newlv awaKcntd interest In public health While the Eastern cities hae been pioneers in this moement.

"We would like especially to emphasize a few of these points," said Miss Leetc as she gave me the list of the thii.gs which she declared it absolutely imperative every mother should know.

"These rules seem like a very simple proposition to any one with even Just ordinary common bense," she continued, "but we nurses know, alas to our tre-quent exasperation, that In altogether to many families they are not observed. "We have to fight tradition: we have to light superstition: and. hardest of all, the of parents who refuse to Fee reason. "Mothers are often horrilled at some ef the'thlngs upon which we insist.

Nov. 16. So great has been the I'se In the price of pearls during the lasj fifteen jears that It Is estimated by a writer In the Revue that n-icklaca bought for $900,000 at the end of the nineteenth century might now be expected to fetch JI.OOO.UOO. The first and noblest duty of a mother is to nurse her own child. Know that nearly every mother can nurse her child if she will keep at it regularly for a few weeks.

Remember there is nothing so eood for the babv as its mother's milk. Don't feed it anything else unless told to do so dv your doctor. i Nurse regularly from five to seven times in twenty-four hours. Give the baby's stomach and yourself a chance to rest. Know that a breast-fed baby can stand sickness, heat, and dirt much better than a bottle-fed baby.

Don't wean the baby without the doctor's consent. It is risky to wean suddenly or in the summer. Know that the food for every bottle-fed baby should be prepared exactly according to a doctor's written directions. Know also that every bottle-bed baby, "even though apparently well, should be brought to a physician at least once a month for examination, until the age of fifteen months. If the baby does not thrive, both mother and child should be constantly under a doctor's supervision.

Have your hands and dishes clean when you prepare the baby's food. Keep all food clean and cold. Boil or pasteurize all milk unless ordered otherwise by the doctor. Never without a doctor's orders feed a well "bottle" baby oftener than seven times in twenty-four hours better six. If the baby cries a great deal, a physician should be consulted.

If the baby cries at other than feeding time, you may give cooled boiled water witnout sugar. In hot weather the baby is thirsty, just as you are. Give him plenty of cooled boiled water. Use a clean boiled bottle for each feeding. Use a clean boiled nipple for each feeding.

Always throw out the milk that is left in the bottle after feeding. Always keep the milk on ice until it is ready to use. Know that many babies cry from over-feeding as well as from hunger. Be sure that the baby gets enough sleep; at least two naps a day. Hot, close, and dirty rooms kill babies quickly.

Therefore, Keep the home cool, well ventilated and clean. Bathe the baby every day and in hot weather sponge him off two or three times more. pt the babv's mouth alone, until he has teeth; then clean only the teeth with a soft clean cloth and cool, boiled water. Pacifiers are unnecessary and dangerous. Do not put too much clothing on the baby, especially in the summer.

Keep the baby out of doors as much as possible. Keep the windows open day and night in the summer. In the winter air the room two or three times a day. Keep the flies out. If you have not screens, tack mosquito netting outside of the windows.

Flies carry disease. If a baby frequently vomits his food, it is necessary to consult a physician. In case of diarrhea, one of the commonest of baby complaints, give one or two teaspoons of castor oil; stop all food for at least twelve to twenty-four hours; give cooled boiled water without sugar and immediately get your doctor. Don't blame teething or worms for your baby's 111 i ness. I nere prooaoiy is anoiner reason.

Don't forget that it is easier, better, and cheaper to prevent sickness than to cure it. Never drug the baby. Soothing syrups are dangerous. If your baby needs drugs, take him to see your doctor. Hollow the instructions of your doctor and nurse only, and not those of your neighbors and relatives.

For the sake of the baby the expectant mother, as early as possible in her pregnancy, should get advice from a physician and nurse. Be sure that the birth of your baby is immediately registered at the Health Department. He may otherwise lose some of his rights of citizenship. SyPRg Seconds KBg A.
