THE CHILDREN.

Try reasoning with children Instead of scolding them. A baby’s weight at five months should be double its weight at birth. Tell your children white lies and they will soon hand you back the other color. Baby’s food should be always administered at regular hours to avoid Indigestion. Spray the children’s throats occasionally with a very weak solution of carbolic acid and water. A little application of the old fashioned maxim about the wisdom of going to bed early might do a good deal to solve the problem of the city child’s nervousness. , When baby pulls at his ear or cries sharply and presses his head against his mother let her beware of earache, a common but dangerous complaint in very young children.
