BOR' TO KEEP I1AB The Chinese shote their progressive spirit try paying their physicians as long as they are in health anti ceasing to pay them as soon as they become • This is nut such a bad idea, after • all, for prevention of disease is much more important than curing it. The mother of the young child dreads the heated summertime, know- ing that this is a trying period. A few simple rules persistently follow- ed will do much to keep baby well. Give plenty of cool, boiled, drinking water. This shoud be offered at least once every hour when baby is awake. Be regular with the morning hath. If the day is very warm, give a sponge 1 athalso at bedtime. Do not , u dress too warmly. Avoid drafts, sudden changes of temperature and chills by having a light wrap or jacket which may be put on if the weather changes or it becomes otherwise necessary. See that baby's bowels are in good condition. It is very important that the little one have at least one com- plete movement every day. If there is any sign of digestive disturbance. feed more lightly than usual arod try to discover just what article of diet is to blame. Perhaps the milk is not modified right ar the feed in tile pas- tures is short and the cows a,: being, fed on ensilage. Thi.s makes Es gassy, indigestible milk. P essibly the food is too rich or not nourishing enough, or something is being_ given unsuited to the child's age. If dysentery attacks the bales, with- hold milk. Feed upon rise .,r barley water and whey. Give a dose .f castor oil to clear away the offending ma- terial and summer a physkian at or.ce There is little usa calling him unless you follow his advise to the letter. One mother whose eleld had an at- tack of diarrhea realized the danger of this disease and summoned a physi- cian. He forbade the giving, of any milk until his return twenty-four hours later. The baby began to show marked improvement when man- aged actor ding to his directions. The next morning the mother felt so sorry for the little one because he could only have barley water that she ventured to give hint half a bottle of mills. The child was not restless withnut it, but she was sure he must need it. The child took the milk with apparent sat- isfaction, however, and the mother was sure she had done the right thing. Half an hour later the whole family was thrown into sudden consternation' by the distressing sight of the child in a terrible convulsion. Fortunately the doctor lived near, and his prompt • answer to the call saved the day. When the little one had been taken . out of its bath of warm water and its stomach emptied of the mass e: curds' which had caused the trouble, the doe• - aTtru y a Ca 511E:I t noughts -41 Dl L`Ein, t`.vnraay by spe•,:lal Orr 'rOPOat° CIIA1''11•;R l(.'

The ex- perienced housekeeper, of eourse, washes her cooking utensils as she goes along so that not many are left to be taken care of after the meal. These should be piled next. to the dish- pan. Greasy pans may be wiped out with soft paper, which then makes good fuel. All other dishes, plates, caps and saucers, and silver should be put together in neat stacks in the order in wbich they are to be washed. Cups should be rinsed and plates scraped and rinsed before they are piled together. All bowls and other Utensils, which have held starchy foods, should be fillet! promptly with cold water. Those which have had in them sugary footle or sticky ones, like gelatine, shout b 1 fill d c ed with hot water. As soon as a milk jar or can is emptied it should promptly be fill- ed with cold water.

There have been in- formative pamphlets that did not in- form and educative books that diel not educate until we are perhaps a little skeptical when we hear that others have been added to the hundreds we • already have. But the hood Board has endeavor- ed to give the women of Canada Santo- • thing new, eminently practical and distinctive in the shape of four cook books, which will help them to solve many of their war -time problems. No matter how clever a woman may be in her own kitchen she can usually learn something from an expert and the leading strings given her in these booklets range strictly "within tho law" so that, in following them, she may rest assured that she ts conduct- ing u,t- ing her home on food control princi- ples. ' In each case a fore -word by Mr. Henry B. Thomson, Chairman of the Canada Food Board, contains practical advice and appreciation of the service women have already render ed. Charts, cartoons and indices give "punch" to the booklets and make them simple to ,follow. They do not contain one recipe that cannot be carried out by the least experienced housekeeper and they are all economical and, intended to spell conservation of the food- stuffs needed overseas, The all-important subject of bread - making is treated in one book and the use of substitutes is (dearly explained. In smother, fish, the best substitute we have .fur meat, is dealt with, and we are given bowing acquaintance with the lesser known varieties. that are just as delicious a$ higher -priced tish if properly cooked. With the fruit season at hand the canning, drying and storing sof fruit and vegetables is a timely subject for another, while the fourth is a cum- rii t'o r tt t n of different ways and roans of cooking vegetables. The almighty potato, needless to say, is given pre- eminence, The books have attractive colored covers. After all, there is none of us who turns aside from a pretty pic- ture without looking twice rat it. And the women who sees the outside of the new booklets will certainly Basten to look between the. covers. Once sho does that, she is certain to return again and :again for plain, practical advice and helpful hints. It is hop- ed that those books are going to mean a great. saving in foodstuffs and that they will teach Canadian wotnen the most advanced principles of conserva- tion. They can be procured from the provincial committee of the Canada Food Board at five cents apiece. Write for them immediately.
