Zurich Herald, 1917-06-01, Page 7Health Bathing The Baby. As adults cannot properly main- tain health unless frequent bathing is indulged in, it is hardly fair to ex- pect a baby to be well and comfortable unless it is kept clean. The baby should be bathed every day, during the first few weeks of its life, the directions of a physician or nurse should be followed carefully even regarding baby's bath. When the mother takes this duty upon herself, however, she will prob- ably find it most convient to bathe the baby in the horning. A good time is just before midmorning feed- ing and after the bowels have moved. A baby should never be bathed just after feeding time. Before the moth- er starts to prepare the baby for its bath she should first see that her own hands are thoroughly washed to remove all dirt and germs. The temperature of the room in which the baby is to receive its bath should be about 72 degrees. Care should be taken to see that it is not warmer, for then there is danger of the infant's becoming chilled when taken into another room after the bath is finished. In winter time it is well to protect the infant from drafts while it is in the tub by means of •screens or by hanging blankets over a row of chairs. After a baby is several weeks old a little bath tub made for the purpose can be used unless the doctor orders otherwise. When a porcelain basin is used, see that it is slightly warm- ed before being filled with the baby's water. The bath water should be at body heat or even a trifle above, which means from 98 to 100 degrees. The mother evto has no bath thermometer can test the water with her elbow. When it feels neither hot nor cold it is right for the baby. Two things mothers should be ex ceedin 1f 1 b t F' t g y care u a ou are: Irs , not to add hot water to the bath awhile the baby is in the tub. Sec- ondly, never to leave a young baby alone in a tub of water. Unnecessary exposure of the baby' to the danger of a chill can be avoided by having soap, towels, clean clothing and powder at hand near the tub. The "..other should be careful not to use too much or too strong a soap. She should rinse the baby's body carefully after washing and, should rub but li;htly when drying with. soft towels.. Wash the baby's head first. While cleansing the scalp lower the infant's head a little so that the soap will not gat into its eyes. Next soap the baby's entire body, using a bland white soap. Quickly af"i`d carefully sponge off its body, then lift out of perfectly dry. Never pick on a wet the tub and wrap the child at once in day. Spread the. beans out on plat - a warmed towel. tees and give a good covering of salt. When placing the child in the tub Let them stand overnight. The next hold it with the left forearm under morning pack in glass jars, or in a the neck and shoulders, the hand un- covered .crock putting a weight ontop der its arms, lifting its feet and legs of the beans. When required for use with the right hand. _ take from the crock as many as are needed and soak them overnight in water and then boil as fresh beans. TESTING TIIE DENTIST.

To Keep Rhubarb For Winter Use Without Cooking or Sugar. Have the jars - -..".1, air -tight with new rubber rings: Wash them thoroaaghly and 'sterilize by boiling or baking them for half an hour. Cut the rhubarb up as if for stewing and fill the jars as full as possible, then fill to overflowing with cold water which has been previously boiled for half an hour and cooled. Run a fork or spoon down to break up any air spaces. After being sure that no air is left in the jar, while the jar is overflowing seal down tightly. Put away in a cool dark place to keep. Handle or move the jars as little as possible. We have been told that gooseber-I ries, red currants and very fresh blue.; berries will keep --if prepared in the same way. The success pf these fruits depends on having the fruit very fresh and the 1 jt.rs air -tight and properly sterilized.1 To Dry Cherries. Stone the cherries and spread them out in shallow dishes or platters (the'; dishes must be crockery, not tin), let ting the juice remain in the dish with the cherries. Alow them to stand for a week or longer in the sun, covering with a netting to keep off flies, until they are thoroughly dried. Pack away in cotton bags or pasteboard boxes. When wanted for use they' may be stewed or made into tarts. If the cherries are intended to be used as raisins for cakes or puddings pre- pare in the sante way but sprinkle over them a large handful of sugar and allow them to dry. Dried Apples. Windfalls and apples that will not keep may be dried for winter use. Pare, core, and cut in slices, and spread out on clean new boards or home-made racks to' dry, covering ful of whole pickling spice to each jer, Boil cider vinegar with a tablespoon- ful of brown sugar rto each quart of vinegar. Let it cool and fill the jars until the onions are all covered;' These do not need an air -tight jar to keep them, but the bottle must be cov- ered or corked well. Fly Season Near; Keep Food Covered. The approach of the warm weather brings with it the discomfort of fly time. During the season this house- hold pest thrives, and the housewife should wage definite war against it. Food that is exposed in hot weather offers a breeding place tor this dan- gerous pest. Clean up the premises and yards and see that all garbage cans are dis- infected and kept covered. Do not allow any pile of rubbish or waste to accumulate. See that all windows and doors are kept screened. Cover all foods that are exposed with wire or mosquito netting; these screens can be made by removing the ends of a box and covering it with wire or netting. Do not permit milk vessels to stand around. Rinse them with cold water and then cleanse them with hot wa- ter. First and last of all, swat the fly. Swat him early and late. It is pos- sible to keep the house absolutely free from this' menacing pest, but these rules should be strictly followed in summer even if the house is well screened. Do not allow food to stand in an ex- posed condition. Keep the garbage pail well covered. Disinfect the garbage can twice a week. Do not allow rubbish to accmulate. Fresh air, sunlight and clean premises prevent disease. • War Economy.

Government reports show that some refineries have used Ultramarine Blue to make their granulated sugar look better than it actuallyis. Others made use of Aniline and Vegetable Dyes to give a rilliant appearance to their soft or yellow sugars. The use of dyes or coloring matter of any kind is unnecessary in. refining Cane Sugar. This is emphasized in. a notification sent to all refiners by the Dominion Government prohibit- ing the coloring of sugar, and in cases where it is found, prosecution pro- ceedings will be entered under the Adulteration ' of Foods Act We Wish the•Public to Know that we Have Never Used Coloring Matter in Lantic Pure Cane Sugar and Never Will Lantic Pure Cane Sugar was first put on the market about two years ago. Since that time oyer 200,000,000 lbs. have been consumed by the Canadian Public, and we are now turning out 750,000 lbs. of Pure Cane Sugar each day. The reason for this enormous busi- ness is not hard to explains It means 'that the discriminating consumer has learned by actual use that Lantic r, Pure Cane Sugar is superior to all others. Havingerected the most Modern sugar refinery in the world, costing '•. , over $4,000,000, we steadfastly adhered to our original policy of n �ijVii making only absolutely Pure Cane Sugars of highest quality, in which NO BEETS ARE USED NO ULTRAMARINEBLUEIS USED NO ANILINE DYES ARE USED NO VEGETABLE DYES ARE USED Montreal, Que.

He still doubted, but told the dentist to bring ]lis apparatus to the palace and he would then discuss the question. The dentist compiled, and explained the process to the Khedive. Ismail then summoned an attendant and told him to send up the sentry who was at his door. When the man arrived the Khedive ordered him to sit down in a chair, and requested the dentist to take out a tooth on either side of his jaw. Ismail then asked the man whether he had felt anything, and the man told him that he had not. But Ismail was not yet satisfied. He said that the sentry w•as a young, strong man, and that he would like to see the experi- ment tried on some one of weaker physique. Accordingly he summoned a slave girl from the harem and had the dentist extract two of her teeth. Finding that she slid not show evi-+ cloude of extreme suffering, he then eeneented Lo have his own tooth out. It is related,` although possibly that psrt of the story is apocryphal, that the dentist then received an order on the 1'lgyptitan treasury for one thou- sand pounds. To Can Peas.

The intensive production of muni- tions in France, with its enormous re- quirements in hand labor, has opened 1 up a new future for the deaf and dumb who, before the war, were excluded from :factory work. Now hundreds of I them are making shells and parts of 1 automobiles and aeroplanes for the I army. They learn even quicker by sight than do many workmen by ear, land their attention never being divide ed by conversation, their output is of the best finish and equal in volume to that of the best mechanics. They are even more attentive to danger than or- dinary men. -oo many people think they have fed the hungry when they have told the hungry how to make an omelet. Radishes may be grown all Summer. The three essentials of success are moisture, rich ground and good seed. Right sowing is also important. Of small varieties, sow 12 to 18 seeds to the foot; of Winter ones, 6 to a foot;.

Judkins, a.11asse- chtisetts physl'len, were asked to make a thorough test of tho popular• eye remedy, Bon Opto. Their reports were most luter- esting, Hero they are: O , Berk reports, "when my attention was first called to the wonderful eve rem- edy, Ilion Opto 1 was inclined to he skepti- cal.

A new and startling case has just conte under my observation, whtoh yielded to ]inn Opto, is that of a young girl. 12 years old. Two prominent eye specialists, after a thorough examination of the young girl, decided in order to save tete sight 01' her right eye, the left eye must be removed. Before permit- ting her to be operated on, tee young girl's father decided to use Bou Opto. In less than three days at marked improvement was noticed. At the end of a week the inflam- mation had almost disappeared, and at the end of six weeks the eye was saved, Just think what the saving of that eye means to this little girl.

Dr. Judkins, Massachusetts physician, formerly Chief of Clinics in the Union Gen- eral Hospital, Boston, Mass., and formerly House Surgeon at the New Englund Eye and Oar Infirtnnry of Portland, Maine, and medical author for many years, reports: "I have found ornlists too prone to oper- ate and optictans too willing to prescribe glasses while neglecting the simple forum - las which form the basis of that wonderful Louse treattuent for eye troubles, Bon Opto.
