CAKE OK THE BABY DO KING
THE FIRST YEAR (Continued).
The Skin—Not too much nor strong
soap should be used and after the
bath plenty of clean water should be
used to get the skin perfectly free
from soap again. A soft cloth should
be used to get the skin perfectly dry
and then dusting powder, talcum or
starch and boric acid, should be used
in all folds of the skin, especially
with fat babies.
If the skin is very irritable the bran
bath is very good. This is made by
taking about a pint of wheat bran
and putting it in a small bag and
squeezing it in the bath water for a
few minutes until the water becomes
thoroughly mixed with it. Soap
should not be used when the skin is
irritated. The buttocks are very lia
ble to become chafed and this can be
prevented by changing the diapers
promptly and not permitting the child
to remain wet or soiled. If they
should become chafed the bran bath
is good or wash with sweet oil and
cotton; then use plenty of the mixture
of starch, two parts to boric acid one
part, as a dusting powder.
Very often there is a tine red rash
appearing on the chest which Is fre
I quently due to too much or too rough
! clothing. In this case sponging with
equal parts of vinegar and water and
liberal use of the starch and boric
i acid mixture will usually relieve it.
Clothing—Undoubtedly the best clo
thing for children is a mixture of silk
and linen. It is important that it be
not too heavy and for that reaso* it
j is not advisable to dress them in wool
| en underwear. Much of the trouble
; with infants is due to the fact that
j they are dressed too warm, for the
mother is apt to forget that' they
spend most of their time in the warm
room and therefore do not require
■ heavy clothing. It is far better to
! dress them lighter and then when
j they go out of doors put on more out
| er clothing. Linen is the very best
material to place next to the skin, it
j is warm because it permits of free
| circulation of air and will absorb all
the moisture more readily than any
other material. A mixture of silk
and wool is probably the next best, as
the silk will prevent the irritation
! that so often results when infants
i wear wool.
For summer wear a medium weight
I linen is the very best. You have only
to try it once to be convinced of its
| superiority. During the summer the
child should not be dressed heavily,
I but during the middle of the day the
! clothing should be changed to suit the
I day and at evening more clothing
j added.
The Baby’s Room.—The child from
infancy should be allowed to sleep in
its own room if this is at all possible
and some plan should be devised so
that this can be done. It is just as
important as that it should have its
; own bed and sleep alone.
, It is so necessary that the child
! should sleep during the day that this
i sleep should be as restful and undis
turbed a. possible. This room should
be well aired at intervals and this
| may be begun when the baby is a
1 week old if th£ airing is done for a
short time to begin with. Two or
| three minutes at first.
The baby’s room is entitled to more
I careful attention in the way of heat
| Ing than those of adults, but do not
! make the mistake of keeping it too
: warm, not over 70, usually 65. After
j three months a window may be left
j open during the night after being
I sure that the covers are pinned down
| tight so they cannot be kicked off.
! The baby will take cold at night no
quicker than during the day except
1 for the reason that he is warm and
' when the covers are kicked off he be
comes suddenly chilled. But they
must have fresh air in the sleeping
room.
Out-of-I)oors—During the fall or
, spring the baby may be taken out for
an airing when he is a week or two
1 weeks old, in the winter when he is
one to three months old. When he is
taken out he should be well covered
LONDON, March 24.—Despite the
unfortunate result of last week’s Irish
debate there are strong grounds for
believing that the country is nearer a
settlement of the Irish question than
ever. The Christian Science Monitor
representative learns on inquiry that
there is and has been for a long time
the very strongest desire in general
ly opposing political circles to get the
Irish question out of the way, and a
recognition that such an opportunity
for achieving this, as is presented by
the present united efforts of Irishmen
and Englishmen to achieve the single
object of victory, is unlikely to recur
very soon.
In many quarters the possibility of
a settlement of the Irish question be
ing postponed till after the war is
viewed with the very deepest appre
hension. These are considerations af
fecting Great Britain herself.
As to imperial interests, it is rec
ognized as a serious thing that in the
Unity of interest, sentiment and ac
tion which has so signally character
ized the British empire throughout
the present war Ireland would provide
the one element of discord, particu
larly in view of the great part played
by Irish regiments. Ulster and Na
tionalist, abroad and by the Ulster
and Nationalist leaders at home.
Major Redmond and Major Hills,
nationalist and unionist, respectively,
have shown in their speeches the
I new feeling generated by these com
mon efforts, and it is safe to say that
behind the scenes strong efforts are
still being put forward, despite all re- ’
cent failures and misfortunes, to t.-^e
advantage of this feeling and remove
the Irish question from the list of
conversational topics.
Great regret is felt at the result of
last Wednesday's debate when the na
tionalists walked out of the house.
Mr. Lloyd George’s speech was a mas
terly marshaling of the pros and cons
of the Irish question, but is generally
felt to have been in its general tone
out of touch with the widely prevail
ing new attitude of thought in this
matter. In calling on the house to
face the facts of the question, the
prime minister, perhaps, forgot the
fact of this new feeling produced by
common loyal effort and the fact of
the sensitiveness of the nationalists
at the present moment intensified by
the Roscommon and deportation inci
dents.
The nationalists are now in gen
eral opposition to the government and
there is an intensifying desire to
reach a settlement before their ac
tions might make the breach perma
nent.
Finally, the effort to achieve a set
tlement of the Irish question is sup
ported by those who see that Great
Britain would enter the future peace
conference with immensely greater
authority as the champion of small
nations if the Irish question were sat
isfactorily settled.

and if the wind is blowing hard his
( face should be protected by some light
| covering, but not heavy enough to
j prevent his getting all the fresh air
j —as that is what he goes out for.
j The eyes should be protected from the
j bright sunlight.
j A very good way to get the out
1 door airing every day when the moth
I er has' too much work to do to take
^the time to go out or is too tired to
do so is to put the baby into the bug
gy or small bed, cover him well and
put him out on the porch where the
wind will not strike him and let him
take his noon nap there. You will find
that he will sleep better than in .his
room and this will do as well as any
other airing. Of course he should be
covered with some light covering so
that cats will not bother him and to
keep flies away. This plan can be
used in all kinds of weather by put
ting up a canvas to protect him from
j rain and wind. He should be taken
out of doors in some way every day.
That is what makes him sleep well,
eat well and gives the red color to his
cheeks.
