Don’ts for Mothers.

Don’t try to make a baby sit up till it does so of its own accord. Lt will do this without any showing or teach ing when its spine is strong enough. Don’t take your young infants out in mail carts. They are very good for children over three, but younger ones need a bassinette or perambulator. Don’t give young children pickles, con diments. strong tea. or any kind <>f alcohol. Such things are very injurious to little ones. Don’t leave bottles of medicine, liniments. disinfectants, or pills within reach of children. Childish curiosity is a thing t > be reckoned with, and even the fear of punishment will not deter them from sampling the contents of forbidden bottles and boxes. Don't give children medicine that has been ordered for a grown-up. This is always d’ngerous. as what has only a very mild effect upon the system of an adult is sufficient fo upset a child for weeks afterwards. O 0 O 0 0
