HELP FOR NURSING MOTHERS.
TO THE EDITOK OF "THE TRESS.". Sir, —As tho mother of a young family, I heartily endorse Dr. O'Brien's scheme for help for motliors. One suggestion I would . make—thrft the mother's help take up her duties a month before the birth of the child, any, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, thus relieving the expectant mother of standing over the hot range cooking the midday meal, stooping, lifting little two-year-old, eto. This also would enable the mother to take that hour's rest with the foot up which one's medical man always prescribes, and which is so difficult to get under ordinary circumstances. We of this generation are often told wo could not do what our mothers did in the old days! Of course not, for we wore born wanting in. vitality, becauso onr mothers were .over-worked.' _ And what of our children and our children's children it some such scheme as Dr. O'Brien s is not undertaken by the State? Yours, v e tc "MOTHER OF THREE."
