FOREWORD
Reports from all parts of the coun
try shout that thousands of babies die
from diseases which ore preventable.
There fore, we feel that an extra effort
should be put forth to bring before
the readers of this paper important
information pertaining to the preven
tion of common ills and the spreading
of disease.
Articles appearing, in this column
ore intended especially for those
mothers who are so busy with daily
household routine that they have not
the time to read the many good books
published or attend lectures on such
subjects. No attempt will be made to
prescribe medical or surgical treat
ment, nor to make a diagnosis of any
illness.
The articles appearing tn this col
umn have been prepared by a licensed,
graduate physician having many years
of experience in dealing with the
health and growth of the child. ..
BATHING
Babies should be bathed daily tin*
less otherwise instructed by a phy
sician. Morning is the best time for
tlie hath (before feeding), although
it may be given in the evening if more
convenient The baby -should not be
bathed for at least an hour after
feeding, nor too soon before going out
of doors. t
Before the navel is healed sponge
baths only should be given. Later the
hath should be given in a small tub.
When the tub is used h should be
Heated by pouring m the hot water
first and then adding the cold water
until the proper temperature is se
cured The water for baby’s bath
should be as near to body heat as pos
sible, that is, ninety-eight to one hun
dred degrees Fahrenheit. It is ad
visable to use a bath thermometer.
These are inexpensive and really a
necessity in order to insure accuracy.
However, if one is not obtainable, the
mother should test the temperature of
the water with her elbow. When the
water feels comfortably warm to the
arm, it is then about the proper tem
perature. Never add hot water to the
bath while the child is in the tub as
there is danger of scalding his tender
skin.
Before undressing the baby, be sure
that everything is in readiness.
Towels, soap and dusting powder
should be at hand The soap should
be the purest obtainable, white and
unscented Very little soap is needed,
and it is important that the baby be
thoroughly rinsed after the bath so
that no soap remains on his skin. The
mother should have clean hands, and
mmlna jut ijrm ♦« m* «K«» tiuw-
are no pins in it to scratch baby.
In giving the bath, baby's head and
scalp should be cleansed first. Care
shout.* be taken that no soap or soapy
.water gets into his eyes. A clean
folded towel held over babv's eyes
will protect them while washing his
head /
i Lather the head and scalp com
pletely, and rinse thoroughly and
quickly. Next the entire body should
be carefully and gently washed with
a soft clean doth. Then thoroughly
rinse the body of all soap. Dry with
warm, dean towels by patting rather
than rubbing. If the baby is carefully
dried, very little powder is necessary.
Pu$ talcum should be dusted in the
creases and folds of the skin, under
the arms and around the buttocks to
prevent chafing.
Many children suffer from the heat
during the summer. Soda baths are
sometimes helpful In cases of prickly
heat A tablespoonful of bicarbonate
of soda should be added to each half
gallon of water used. Allow the <hi!d
to remain In the water from two to
four minutes, and dry gently. The
water should be lukewarm.
Bran baths are also often used to
relieve prickly heat To prepare,
make a bag of cheesecloth, or other
thin material, about s : x inches square
and fill loosely with bran. Soak the
........ .„.i t 1
bag in hot water and squeeze fre
quently until water becomes milky.
Then add enough cool water to make
the bath tepid.
Mustard baths are useful in cases
of nervousness or sleeplessness.
prepare the bath, add a heaping table
spoonful of mustard to six gallons of
warm water. The child should re
main in the bath two or three minutes,
and upon removal should receive a
brisk rubbing and be put to bed at
once. This method will usually pro
duce refreshing sleep. The mustard
[bath is not advisable in, warm weather
unless rccommcruled by a physician.

(By A.iocl.t.d Press)
INDIANAPOLIS—The American
Legion, at I?s national convention
In San Francisco, October 15-19,
will take a star 1 on numerous
question^ of International and na
tional policy to the affairs of vet*
crans. according to reports; re
ceived nt legion national head
quarters here. '
One of the principal Issues to
come before the flan Francisco
gathering Is the question of the
convocation of an international air
disarmament conference. A poll,
taken of all the United State*
Senators, congressmen, governors,
newspaper editors, college presi
dents and other prominent dtl-
zens, expressed overwhelming In
dorsement of the legion’s proposal
to hold an international gathering
in 'Washington to reduce military
air forces. The suggestion aUa
was approved by the Interallied
Veterans’ Federation convention In
nrussels, which represented the
vi*ws of fighters from elgfrt aiil»d
powers.
Recommendations mads by a
number of state conventions are
that the notional body should* con
tinue Its campaign for the confer
ence until President Coolidge
agrees to Invite the European na
tions tc> confer.
Legion men hope to Induce the
President * to extend nn Invitation
for, the gathering, nnd .they plan
definitely to consolidate legion
opinion nnd actian at. the national
convention.
A proposal to suspend all Immi
gration to this country for a pe
riod of five years appear* certain
to receive the consideration of le
gion men. •.
Americanization for foreigners
already In America is proposed in
a number of resolutions to \be pre
sented at the national gathering. It
has been suggested also that the
legion support a bill providing for
the deportation of all foreigners
who have not become cltlgcns with*
in five years after they come to
this pountry.
