INFANT WELFARE --ARTICLE No. el
The Mother.
1 HE MOTHER should endeavor to maintain her health to the highest
point before and after the baby's birth. She should do no heavy
work for at Ieast four weeks after the baby's birth. Particularly
she should not work out. If she has any headache, puffiness of the
face and legs, indigestion or vomiting, she should realize that these are not
the necessary accompaniments of pregnancy, but that they are indications
of something wrong, and that she should AT ONCE consult a capable
physician and have the condition remedied. She should eat easily digested
but good substantial food; keep her bowels regular, have plenty of outdoor
air, light exercise, and at least eight hours sleep in a well -aired room.
People are tco afraid of fresh air. Some houses are shut up so continuously
that it is a wonder the people living in them can be healthy. After the
',baby is born the mother's chief care should be directed to her child's welfare.
Nursing the Baby.
The mother's milk is the baby's best food.• Nearly every mother should
be able to nurse her baby, and she should have every encouragement to
'persevere in breast feeding for four or five months at least. If she yot ,.
-out she cannot nurse the baby, and as a consequence artificial food, such as
cow's milk or the expensive proprietary preparations are used, with thy
•common result that the baby gets diarrhoea and frequently dies. The first
;great requisite then is, that to the mother must be left the care of the baby.
Artificial Food.
If for any reason the _pother is unable to breast feed her baby, artificial
:food must be used either partly or entirely,' Then we are obliged to soak:
and recommend the best -form of artificial food, but before doing so, phys-
Ician, nurse, and mother must exhausfevery means -to keep up the breast
supply. Do not try to do this by the use of beer, stout, wine, or any form
Iof
alcoholics. These articles do not improve' the breast food, and besides
they are bad for the baby.
The best artificial food is cow's milk modified to suit the needs of tee
`growing child. The milk should be carefuill selected. It should be the.
,product of clean, healthy, well -kept cows. Certified milk is expensive, and
df such milk cannot be procured then the raw milk should be pasteurized
or boiled. Some authorities claim that boiled milk is more easily digested
than raw milk. If raw, pasteurized, or boiled milk is used it should be
:modified as follows:
THE FORMULA -1st Month.
A full-term baby will usually take in twenty-four, hours:--
Cream—Two ounces.
Skinim, d Milk—Two ounces.
Boiled Water—Twelve ounces.
Sugar of Milk -Six level teaspoonfuls.
The sugar of milk should be dissolved in a few ounces of boiled water.
Place this in a pitcher, add the cream, the skimmed milk, and the balance
lof the boiled water, and stir with a spoon. This mixture should preferably
Le put in twelve separate bottles and placed in an ice -box, or kept in the
,pitcher and added to the bottle as used. The baby should during the first
month have a bottle every two hours from say four; -in the morning to ten
et night. The food should be warmedby sitting the bottle in hot water to
warm it to a comfortable heat.' It should be fed through a large rubber
nipple which tits snugly over the neck of the bottle. Needless to say it is
Important that bottles, nipples, and all utensils used should be kept serup-
iulously clean.-'Td1=great-care cannot be takenin this regard,
orixiula for Second Month:—
Cream ---Five .ounces.
Skimmed •Milk—I+ive ounces,
13oiled Water—'I'weiity ounces.

rather, don't let it be' the prevailing
idea that one day or one week Is Suffi-
cient in which to clean up and get rid
of all nuisances and health dangers,
And, what e is stair more important,
don't think that when you have,
cleaned off a few vacant lots and al,
leys, set out a few trees and carted oft
the trash and papers froma few back

It is true that trash and rubbish are
,insightly and should be removed, but
incomparison to flies and the feeding
and breeding places of flies rubbish is
not the filthy filth that we think it is.
To some people hies may not look as
bad as trash, but it is only to those
who don't know where they breed,
what they eat and the number and
kind of disease germs they carry on
thein feet It is this kind of filth that a
cleanup campaign should go after and
lean up. >.
A cleanup campaign should not stop
;it a week, at a month or a -season un
less the town or community has in
reality lity reached the point where it can
e.leau up and keep clean. No spasmodic
effort at cleanliness gets results. It
dues not only fail 'to get a clean and
attractive town, but it is worse than
nothing as a means of safeguarding
health. The cleanup, campaign that is
worth while is that which induces the
people to clean up and, keep clean all
the year round and which goes after
the dangerous filth -flies, surface clos-
ets that admit dies and breeding places
for flies. Breeding places for mosqui-
toes might well be added to the list.
CHINESE FARMS SMALL
Hardly More Than Gardens, and the
• ° Cultivation Is Intensive.
it is incorrect to speak of the Chinese
as farmers in the strict sense of the
word, for they are gardeners rather
than ,farriers. A so called Chinese
thrill is no larger than what in Ameri-
ca would be called a good sized gar-
,
en, and the methods of cultivation; are
of the most intensive sort.
Generally` speaking, it seems that the
greater the prosperity of the agricul-
tufal family the larger the number of
titiildren; hense in turn the greater the
number of mouths to feed. In addition
prosperous conditions always bring
with them greater expenses'ineident-to'
family festivities, such as weddings,
which stand out as all important, con-
siderations in the lives of the Chinese.
In Manchuria the conditions are
somewhat' different, for there are vast
stretches of land open to cultivation on
a much larger' scale than in China.
proper. These tracts are generally
worked by hired farmers, who come in
hundreds of thousa ads from the more
densely populated sections of China to
speud the short farming season in
northern portions. returning again
when the cold weather makes further
labor in the fields impossible. -United

Dickens wanted to lie an actor before
he was an -author. He would have been
but for a face ache. When he was ;a
lad and a lawyer's clerk he had attain-
ed a trial of his power of reproducing;

kept him at home, and soon after he
"made a great splash" as a newspaper

NO ;ALG A ,
Many have wondered how the famous
old household remedy, ' in Pills, de-
rived its name, since obviously there
could be no spirits contained in pill form.
The origin of Gin Pills can betraced
to Gin, which has for a great many
years been recognized for its medicinal
qualities,particularlyits belt efleial effects
on Kidney complaints.
But in the first place they e are many
who have conscientious objections to
taking alcohol, even as a medicine.
Secondly, the curative ag'nt of Gin
operates in spite of the alcohol, not be.
cause the alcohol is a help to the cure.
Investigations were mad.to deter-
mine lust what it was in Gin that tended
to relieve Rheumatism, Lumbago, Scia-
tica, Backache, Swollen Joints, Constant
Headaches and all disorders arising from
the kidneys, bladderandur narysystem.
This active agent, separated from the
alcolioI,was then combined wills other
t
diuretics and given the name of Cin
Pills, for which a demand has grown
greater than for any other medicine in
Canada, Gin . Pills have a wonderful
record of success and anyone applying'
to the manufacturers can obtain copies
of many of the testimonials received.
