Care of Youngsters
In Spring
Hi) C. Elizabeth Lyman, M. 1).
SPRING months with their vary
ing temperatures present dif
ficulties for keeping the heat of
children’s bodies uniform.
Nose and throat infections;
coughs and colds predominate when
warm days alternate with cold,
damp and rainy ones, perplexing
the mothers'io know how much
clothing must be worn. On warm
days the little bodies are damp with
perspiration and on cold ones blue
and chill.
Tn the early months of the year
baby's skin bodily resistance should
have been built up to withstand the
drastic changes.
When baby’s blood is circulating
freely the skin will feel warm to the
touch, a reassuring sign to mothers
thaf infactious diseases will not be
very easily taken.
Too much clothing is had. but
there should be wool over abdomen
and chest. * Hands and feet should
be comfortably warm and ears pro
teeted. A cold splash over neck
and chest after bathing is simple
and effective in increasing resist
a nee.
Baby should be out of doors ai
least three or four hours on sunny
days and always when the sun is
shining brightest. The eyes should
be protected from direct sunshine.
No tonic can take the place of fresh
air. sunshine, exercise, good food,
rest and sleep. Last, but not least,
plenty of water to drink. Under
three and one-half years tile water
should be boiled.
Foods, as I have repeatedly men
tioned in earlier articles, are pri
marily important in building resist
ance to disease.
Milk shold be given and no lea.
coffee, coffee substitutes or iced
drinks should be thought of.
Natural f r*u i t and vegetable
juices are important. Up to the age
of sixteen months bread should be
*
fed very very sparingly. Meal
iuiee should be given children
whose dentition is delayed or who
have weak bony structures. If the
child objects to meat juice add it to
milk, which should not be heated to
more than 100 degrees Farenheit
before the addition of the steak
iuiee which should be prepared
freshly each day. Prepare it as fol
lows: One nound of lean steak.
slight.lv broiled and squeezed
through a lemon squeezer or press.
This provides about three ounces of
liquid and mav be slightlv salted. It
mav be slightlv warnfed but not suf
ficiently heated to coagulate the al
bumen. Whan the fresh steak iuiee
cannot he obtained Valentine’s
Meat Juice may be substituted.
For children of two or three years
spinach, mashed potatoes or steam
ed rice mav he given with the doak
juice over them.
Spinach is at its best at this sea
son and children like it if properly
cooked. Asparagus tips either in a
sauce in which the cooking water is
incorporated or made info a soup is
one of the vegetable foods that con
tain mineral s;dts in abundance.
Beet greens, mashed peas, mashed
young carrots, grated corn and
cooked lettuce are among the desir
able foods.
The sauce for creamed vegetables
is prepared like Ibis- i level table
spoon flour 1 level tablesnoonful of
butter, one-half level teaspoon salt,
one-half cup liquid, preferably the
water in which the vegetable has
been cooked. Add the flour to the
melted butter and mix tbi.n.1 ghlv
then the salt and liquid.
The vegetables should be cooked
only long enough to make them fen
der. Excessive boilino robs.them 1 f
their food value.
Next month I shall give foods for
children from birth until the fourth
year.

Soft Water for Baby’s Face,
Bath and Shampoo
Remember the good old days,
when mother or grandmoth
er would upon a rainy day
‘rush out of the kitchen with pail
and pan and place them below a
water spout in order to catch up
the water?
Why did she do it? Because she
realized the beautifying qualities of
soft water, and you know rainwater
is soft.
And again, in the winter time,
she would melt snow for washing
and shampooing, for the same rea
son.
In these hectic days, the good old
way of doing things have been for
gotten. But wait, not forgotten al
together. There are some who have
commercialized grandmother’s soft
water idea, in that they furnish soft
water by way of filter and refiner,
like the Refinite Co., for instance.
There is no argument against the
“soft water way.” Baby’s skin is
tender, and therefore no* hard wa
ter shoud be used in its hath, face
wash or shampoo.
It would he well worth the while
for mothers to investigate the “soft
water way.” Why not write Prac
tical Cookery about it?
