SOME SUMMER “DONT'S.”
(By the Baby.)
Don’t swaddle me with clothes that make me perspire. A band, shirt, napkin, and rompers are about what I need for hot weather Don't forget to give me a ten minute sponge-bath once or twice on hot days. Don't forget my two-hour daily nap out-doors in a shady place. Mosquito netting will save me fr°n» Hies and in sects during this nap. Don’t coax me to take food that I 'do not want. Don’t expose me to the tortures that follow letting me experiment with ft.od that I pick up myself. Your judg ment is better than mine in this mat ter. Don't feed me more than four times a day. More than this gives me p. in. Don’t forget always to give me a drink of cool, boiled water between meals; l need plenty. Don't try to check any diarrhoea 1 may have with patent medicines or remedies suggested by our neighbours, relatives or friends. Ask my friend, the doctor. Don't bluff me with a pacifier; 1 want a good-looking mouth when 1 grow up. AND If you want nu* to keep well and happy during n»y second summer, I’ve just got to have Clean Air, clean clothing, and clean food.
