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

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.

you follow his advise to the letter.
One mother whose eleld had an at-

of this disease and summoned a physi-

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.

be in charge.
Heretofore the C'ommi.;sion has
directed purchases tient New York,
and the new arrangement may he con-
sidered as proof of the Commission's
realization that Canada is an Moreas-
iugly important source of food sup-
plies for the. Allied countries.
The war has been made the excuse

Dome of them very good and some
indifferent. 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-

Henry B. Thomson, Chairman of the
Canada Food Board, contains practical
advice and appreciation of the service

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

stuffs needed overseas,
The all-important subject of bread -
making is treated in one book and the
