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.

TO BE DECI I (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.
