Reports from all faris of the coun

from diseases which are preventable.

of disease. »•

CLOTHING
An infant's clothes should be de
signed for comfort, economy and sea
sonal requirements. If top snug they
tend to hamper Wthc natural body
movements, and if too Urge they are
apt. to form creases and bunches
which may be uncomfortable. The
clothing must be loose enough 'so that
the growing child may have plenty of
room to cxrrcise and breathe freely.
If garments arc made with too many
frills, it becomes quite a task to have
them properly cleaned and ironed.
Such clothes arc expensive to buy
and if made at home by, the mother
take considerable time and energy.
Remember that the child will soon
w these and they will then be
i. Plain, neat dresses are really
far more desirable. Perhaps two or
three plain dresses can be purchased
for the price of a fancy one, and will
undoubtedly give far more service
and satisfaction. The principal con*
sidcration in baby clothes is cleanli
ness, comfort and economy. Host
ile are more interested in a
thy, happy baby than in his fancy
dress.

be avoided. • Even safety pins are apt!
to open and seriously wound babyt
therefore, care should be taken to see
that they arc securely fastened. Pet
ticoats should be supported by shoul
der straps in order to avoid the use
of pins or tight draw strings.
At night the child’s clothing should
be completely changed. The night
dress should be longer than the day
dress and roomy enough to permit
free movement of the limbs,
the winter it should be of light, soft
flannel, or similar material, and made
to close at the bottom with a draw
string. During the summer the most

suitable material to use is soft mus

open at the bottom.
The abdominal band should be
watched closely. It should be tight
fnough to give the necessary support
tn order to prevent rupture, but not
enough to cause discomfort at any
time. Diapers should be removed im
mediately when soiled, and then
placed in boiling water for fifteen
minutes. After washing they should
be carefully rinsed and dried. Iron
them smoothly but do not use cither
itarch or blueing. Clean, dry napkins
ire very essential to baby’s comfort,
and will help to prevent irritation of
his tender skin. Diapers should be
made of a soft, light, absorbent mate*
rial, and plenty of them should always
be on hand so that they can be
changed immediately when they be

No clothing should ever be dried in
the baby’s room on account of the
dampness and odor thus produced. It
is best to dry the clothes out of doors
