REQUIRED FROM MAY TO OCTOBER. Thoughtful Mother May Do Much to Protect Infant From Summer lit- Umpls Rule That Mutt Bo observed. (Prepared by ths Children' Bureau, V. B. Department of Labor.) Prom Mar to October the baby must be guarded with special care, If he to escape the dangers which lurk about him in the hot days of sum mer. It Is estimated that of the many thousands of babies who die every summer, principally In July and Au gust, half might have been saved, since summer diarrhea may often be prevented with suitable care. It Is caused, in a large number ol cases, by mistakes In the method of feeding, or by using Impure milk, ot other unsuitable dangerous foods, 01 by overheating the baby with too much clothing. The careful and thoughtful mothei may do much, therefore, to protect hei baby from this Illness, by avoiding, ai far aa possible, its various causes Throughout this series of articles mothers have been urged to observe certain simple rules for the health of the baby In summer. These rules re quire: 1. That the baby shall be fed on proper food In proper quantities at proper intervals. S. That he shall have no food be tween meals, but shall have plenty of pure, cool drinking water. S. That he shall be kept as cool at possible by fresh air, plenty ol baths, and very little clothing. 4. That he shall be protected from flies and mosquitoes. If these rules are faithfully carried out many cases of summer diarrhea will be prevented. If, however, th disease appears, the city mothet ty ELLIS ROBINSON. Hilary fitted into the adorable gar n .i tall shape, lithe, slim, blue SBjed to match the splendid tall sjrars and the nodding Canterbury ten. A delicately pretty girl, full of Intangible subtleties, she could not ft over the surprise of finding her self at Barton. Her hosts, the Barton-Fairs, had a sur prise of another sortover her onflut tered acceptance of luxury. They knew Tory well why she waa there. They kad made much money. Money in Carn had made them socially aspiring particularly for Tom and Phyllis, awn and daughter of the house. Hence, the transplantation of Hilary Fon taine from the plnchlnga of genteel poverty to the ease of lavish wealth. Hilary was gladder for Aunt ram than for herself. Unless she, too, had freen asked, Hilary would not have thought of going. But the Barton .Hairs had been anxious to have the i stately aunt Aunt Pam's only and be loved nephew, not yet thirty, but al ready a man of mark, was coming home to visit his people. Fontaine Dab Bey had the double distinction of be tsg silver tongued, yet golden wise -for though he stood like a lion for the poor, he had no antipathy for riches. J Mr. Barton-Fair had known all this .long before be knew the Fontaines, lie was entirely of his clever wife's mind, that Providence had made ready fin Aunty Pam's young people precise ly the right mates for Tommy and Phyllis. He was prouder of bis chll 'siren even than of his fortune. - Aunty Para liked Phyllis, even ad- , Hatred her, although by contrast she 'slid make Hilary's April fairness ap pear a trifle wan. Tommy had won -the elder Miss Fontaine's warm heart artier than any of the others. .you nlce Doyj piea8e ,jont eTer .-crow up!" she had said to him after rjie had Inveigled her Into a long ride should at once consult her doctor, or, Mriae had declared impossible. After Ward she had confessed to Hilary that should have thenceforth to think vfftttor of all rich young men. i Naturally she was very happy at Srtou. 8he sat in a garden chair esttJrely beaming as Tommy and iHSary went up and down the long f frerder cutting flowers. Later, when tho flowers had been properly placed , labor of Joy for Hilary she said to fcer niece: "Really, Tommy is one of a thousand. Fontaine even couldn't do tt better being so much the host he f ts not a bit the gallant. I hope Fon taine will like all of them here they wfll be such good friends to you two. But there.

She knew what it waa Aunt yam hinted at her darling plan to snatch niece and nephew so that when the family glories were again reful gent they should be concentrated, not sUffused. Fontaine knew It, too and both had been acquiescent rather than eager. Hilary had even fancied she cared for trtm. having seen hardly another man f marriageable condition. She began now to think of him a Treat deal if the truth must be arpoken, to keep herself from thinking good deal oftener of Tommy. The latter certainly did not show signs of being stricken but somehow, now nd then, something in his eyes blue ad Innocent almost as ber own fomt note In his voice although It poke only commonplaces stirred ber mm Fontaine's look and speech had over done. Hilary was eager yet reluctant to oo her cousin. Aunt Pam had let her know. Indirectly, that she felt It in cumbent to let the good Barton-Fairs mnderstand their prospective rela tionship. "It will be more dignified entire frankness," she bud said. Hilary wanted to protest, to beg for silence at least, but the habit of obe dience was too strong. So perhaps she was no more than properly sympathetic when, just as Fontaine was due. Aunt Pam devel oped a toothache so violent that it welled her fare grotesquely and kept ber out of view for full three days. She would see nobody but the maid. When, upon the fourth morning, the Invalid came down to breakfast con valescent she found awaiting her the urprtse of her life. Standing her tatelleet self aa she saluted host and bostess, she began with an air of finality that did great credit to her tfigidiy: "Let nie announce to you He betrothal of my niece and my nephew." "Why, Aunt Pam! Are you a clair voyant? However did you find it out? We only knew it ourselves last night and have Just told the authorities,' Fontaine interrupted. And there he stood, with an arm about Phyllis, while Tommy, grinning like a happy gargoyle, gently tweaked Hilary's ear. In a twinkling, the Bar ton Fair elders were either side of the speechless woman, madam hugging her, paterfamilias shaking both her bands and declaring not quite stead ily, "We we couldn't ask for any thing better. The good Lord must have sent you to make our cup of blessing overflow." To this day. Aunt Pam's wonderful prescience Is among the dear tradl -tions of the Barton Fairs and their descendants. Hilary perhaps could ex plain It, but she Keeps a golden si lence. aCoprrlcfat, 1115. oy th McClur Newss pr Syndicate) H v . Cf x v t , r f '-vAfc. , A Healthy Summtr Baby. If she has no physician, take her baby to the nearest infant w el rare station where competent physicians will ad vise her with regard to the care of the baby and trained nurses will assist her in carrying out bis directions. It Is of great Importance to take the dis ease In its first stages, as a mild form of the disease readily becomes a se rious one. In the country, where it is very dif flcuit to get the advice of a doctor, the mother has a harder problem. Be cause she is out of the range of in fant welfare stations, hospitals, and often of physicians as well, it is most J Important to prevent every sttack of illness possible by careful attention to the baby's food and general care, as already advised In these articles. If the baby Is still at the breast. one or two nursings should be omit ted, and only pure, cool water given In its place. Meanwhile the mother's breasts should be pumped at each usual nursing time to prevent their drying up. Bottle-fed babies are much more likely to be the victims of summer diarrhea. When thla happens, the bot tle should be omitted for eight, twelve or twenty-four hours, according to the severity of the attack- Do not, how ever, keep food from the baby longer than twenty-four hours, except on the advice of a physician. When the bot tle is resumed, the food should be much weaker than before; at least, half of the milk previously given should be substituted by water. The milk should be skimmed, and sugar should be omitted. The return to the for mer feeding should be made gradual ly, adding a little more milk each day, and beginning to add sugar. The more severe the attack has been, the more slowly should changes be made. If the b:by is on "mixed" feeding, that is, partly breast and partly bottle-fed, the bottle feedings should be omitted if diarrhea appears, and the breast given once In four or fle hours, with nothing but drinking water be tween meals.
