How to Care for Tots in Summer 6—KEEP FLIES OFF BABY ■ "^.tmi. ■' ; ■ Mb ■ ■ . £ L I O’’ .7/ ■« ■■ \ In W al JL- i 7 Picture shows how baby's bed should be protected by net ting to keep flies and other insects off the sleeping infant. House Should Be Screened and Netting Placed Over Bed of Little One. This is the sixth of Miss Berta Thomson’s articles on the care of ba bies tji hot- weather. By MISS BERTA THOMSON. (Nurse in charge of the children's ward at Grady hospital.) In planning the care and comfort of the baby in the summer season, moth ers should look well to protection from the fly peril. The danger from flies is great— much greater than many people realize —and for this reason the ,pesky things should not be allowed to come in con tact with baby. The mother who fails to properly protect het baby from flies is literally endangering its life —inno- cently, of course. bu.t nevertheless the result is the same. The fact that flies carry germs of disease by the wholesale should be sufficient warning to all mothers. Disturb Childs Rest. It is this carrying of disease by flies and the dangei of infection that makes protection of the baby imperative. The greatest caution, as we all know, is essential for the welfare of the child, and this protection I regard of the highest importance. When we realize that the baby can not resist disease like the strong man and woman, and also that it is unable to fight off flies as are the grown-ups. we at once see just how important it is. In addition to the danger of disease, POOR LITTLE BOY! I Gohnas||[, -<."OQjK'ZA / G/M Me { ToR z -TO Jg L \l,nHow. J -/ - V>7 I ,X7 / -'• Xm'7 V v\J>< / 7// \ c .

Tad says ho thinks everyone should help the poor little chap, as he onh 7 has $960,000,000. there is also another reason —a strong one, too. It. is the fact that flies disturb the rest and slumber of the baby, and con sequently cause it to become irritable and nervous. The crawling of flies over the face, arms and legs of a sleeping babe will quickly make it fretful. Frequently we see flies crawl ing over the lips and eyes of a sleeping child, tormenting the little one, and probably spreading the germs of some dread disease. Such a sight is enough to make us cringe. House Should Be Screened. As to the remedy for this peril, I would say that every house in which there is a baby should have carefully scieened doors and windows, to shut out the flies as much as possible. But this alone is not sufficient. Even in the best of screened houses flies will manage to sneak in. the baby takes its nap it should, be covered with netting, which will prevent flies from getting to its face, arms and legs. Baby should not be left alone without being protected by this net. And when the mother, or any one else, is carrying the baby about In their arms, care should be used to keep off flies. Shoo away every one that conies about. It was back in the olden times that they had to have a person go crying it out if any one had anything to sell or wanted to buy. or to notify the people that.so and so had lost this and that. The way was the only "lie available. It's different now. Yrnir wants <an be told to an audience of over 50J>00 in this section through a Want Ad in The Georgian.

TEAGHERSCHEER NAM E OF INILSON Tribute to Democratic Presiden tial Nominee Stirs National Educational Association. CHICAGO, July 9—A tribute to Gov ernor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersev - a speaker at the morning session of m? National Educational association mdav brought .a round of applause and from the delegates. The tribute was by Miss Adelaide Steel Baylor, assistar state superintendent of public instructio of Indiana. She referred to the New Jersey execu ■ tive as the type or educator who mEgh well be taken as a model "The idea advocated by Governor Wi'. son of making certain instructors person ally responsible for the ethical anc edu cational status of their pupils is one that might well be adopted,” said Miss Baylor Charges of bopk trust coercion and attacks on Secretary Irwin Shepard have thrown the convention into an up. roar. The bonk trust charges were hinted in connection with an attempt to swing Mrs. Ella Flagg Young and the Chi cago teachers into line for Miss Grace C. Strachan, of New York. The only fact brought out to support the allega tion that outside influences were being brought into the fight was the fact that Miss Strachan brought a letter tn May. or Harrison from Mayor Gaynor. Ac cording to the New York candidate, herself, this was merely a letter of in troduction. imm APPEALS COURT Bill in Legislature Provides the Supreme Tribunal Have Civil and Criminal Branches. Representatives Lovejoy, of Troup; Fullbrlght, of Burk; Jones, of Meri wether. and Turnipseed, of Clay, to day introduced in the house a bill pro viding for a constitutional amend ment abolishing the Georgia court of appeals. The bill provides for the usual legis lative and elective machinery neces sary to the accomplishment of consti tutional amendments, and provides for the abolition of the court immediately upon ratification of the proposed amendment. This bill may have no connection with the late . special gubernatorial campaign, but it is a fact that during ithat campaign numerous threats to (Start this movement against the court of appeals were made. It is not the general impression that this bill will pass. To relieve possible congestion in the supreme court because of th’ abolition of the court of appeals, th? same gentlemen presented a compan ion bill providing for three additional justices of the supreme court, and a division of that court in civil and criminal branches.
