WARM BOARD
Against Dangers of Entrusting Babies
to Nurses Who are Diseased,
Dirty or Incompetent.
Atlanta, Ga. —That Georgia mothers,
as a rule, do not exercise sufficient
care in selecting nurses for their ba
bies, is declared by the State Board
of Health, in an article describing
some of the dangers to which helpless
infants are exposed because of this
negligence.
Too often, says the Board, the
thoughtless mother employs the first
negro girl who happens to be availa
ble, without inquiring at all as to
her health, moral character and intelli
gence. Such mothers forget that the
baby is left for hours at a time in
the sole care of this nurse, and that
-it may suffer permanent harm if im
properly handled, neglected or exposed
to disease.
Four rules are laid down by the
Georgia Board of Health, by which
a girl or woman must be judged before
she should be employed to take care
of a baby. They are as follows:
The nurse must be healthy.
The nurse must be neat and clean
about her own person.
The nurse must be of good moral
character.
The nurse must have intelligence.
Don't employ anybody to take care
of your baby unless that person comes
up to these four requirements, says the
State Board.
Consider to begin with the import
ance of the first qualification—health.
Suppose a nurse girl, who may seem
to be in good health, comes from a
home in which there is tuberculosis or
some other contagious disease? Sup
pose the nurse has been exposed to
smallpox or is tainted with some dan
gerous contagious disease? Avery
great many negroes are. Suppose that
through your thoughtlessness you have
employed as a nurse, a woman suffer
ing from any of these diseases? Think
what a terible rsik your baby is run
ning. Assure yourself first of all that
the nurse you employ is healthy.
Should Be Personally Clean.
The second thing to consider is the
nurse’s personal cleanliness. Get a
nurse who is neat and clean, says the
State Board, or for the baby’s sake,
don’t get a nurse at all. To begin
with, disease germs always flourish in
a body which is not kept clean, par
ticularly in the summer time, and in
addition a tiny baby is exceedingly
susceptible to unhealthy and unpleas
ant odors. If the nurse is so dirty
that you notice it yourself, though
only coming in close contact with her
occasionally, think how horrible it
must be to your poor baby whom she
handles dally, and who on account of
its helplessness and inability to pro
test, is really the victim of your care
lessness. If your nurse has an odor
about her, says the State Board, tell
her how to get rid of it, and if she
does not do it, then get rid of her.
The third thing to consider is the
nurse’s moral character. This is im
portant not only because an honest,
respectable girl is always the most
faithful, trustworthy and reliable; but
also because by the time the baby has
become two or three years of age ii s
little mind is like a highly sensitized
photographic plate powerfully influenc
ed by everything it sees and hears.
A nurse of vile language and loose
moral habits may, without even mean
ing to do so, teach a child evil expres
sions and immodest actions which it
will take years of later training to
counteract.
The fourth consideration is the
nurse’s intelligence. This does not
mean that the girl who has had the
most schooling necessarily makes the
best nurse, but it does mean that a
good nurse must have practical com
mon sense. If it is important to have
.an intelligent gardener to bring your
plants and flowers to perfection, how
much more important it is to have an
inteligent nurse to rear your baby.
Watch Your Nurse Closely.
Maybe you can’t find out all these
things to a certainty when you em
ploy a nurse. In that event, it is ab
lutely essential that you watch the
nurse closely until you do assure your
self about them all. Find out where
the nurse goes with your baby when
she takes it out for a walk. Make sure
that it isn’t lying neglected in its car
riage with the sun beating into its
eyes, while the nurse is idly gossiping.
Make sure that your baby is not play
ing on the floor of some dirty negro
cabin, when you think it is in the
park. Make sure that your nurse is
not allowing strangers or sick persons
to fondle your baby.
If you find out that the nurse is not
properly caring for the child, dis
charge her. It may mean life or death,
for a human baby is one of the most
fragile and delicate of all God’s crea
tures. The proper nursing of a baby
requires constant thought and atten
tion. It means more than rocking the
baby to sleep (which is not necessary),

I, N. B. Lord, Clerk Superior
Court, Jackson County, Georgia,

N. B- LORD,

If the present tendency in wo
men’s dress W carried much far
ther, it will put the ballet shows
out of business.
fliTT’ itmeans more than changing the
baby’s soiled clothes, which is seldom
done as often as it should be. If you
must have a nurse, select her careful
ly and then watch her constanly.
Never allow the nurse or anybody
else to chew up food and give it t
the baby. The habit is dangerous and
disgusting. The mouth of the average
person is a breeding place for all sorts
of dangerous germs. It may be all
right for the older birds to carry food in
their mouths to the little ones in the
nest, but it won’t do for humans to
follow the same procedure. For hu
man babies, it is sickening and deadly.

Perhaps your kidneys are “in

to straighten. The kidney se

not until D got Doan’s Kidney

Back Ya,rds.
There is a great deal of simi
larity between back yards and
some people you know. The front
yard is kept attractive and pre
sents a dress parade. This is
to be seen. It is the part of the
place which is observed by the
public. It 1 is much like that ele
ment you see displayed when a
man appears before the public as
even tempered, kind mannered,
temperate and patriotic . He
thus proclaims his goodness. They
are made apparent *o the public.
But the back yard—what of
that? Tin cans, dirt, filth, brok
en bottles, discarded brooms,
Weedd and a flower. In the
“hack yard” of our natures,
where we are not supposed f o
be seen, we exhibit vicious man
ners, bad tempers ,and there we
conspire to hurt and injure and
sflander our betters. The bake
yards are dangerous. They breed
disease. Besides, they are seen.
