But it la indeed an 111 wind thatblows no wood she busies herself withthe preparation for the bleaching pro-cess and lectures her patient whilework is going on

First of all the face Is washed withmild soap and distilled water and thenit is covered with a mask of absorbentcotton fresh for the occasion and soak-ed well In peroxide of hydrogen

This is to remain on the facesU least five minutes and if the skin isextremely dark even longer

Very sensitive skins find it a trifle Ir-

ritating so in cases of this descriptionthe mask is removed as soon as theburning sensation is experienced

After the mask is removed the watermassage is given with water to which-a mildly cleaning alkaline is added

FOR THE HOMEMAKERIA childs cold and suet pudding are

not usually associated and yet thisdish unlikely as its sounds is an im-

portant part of a bill of fare whichshould be arranged for the child whois a persistent cold catcher If madeof equal parts of tour and bread-

crumbs with the suet it is easily di-

gested and during the process thefarinaceous part of it la converted intosugar so that It supplies body witha large amount of fuel

During the feverish stage of the coldchildren should be fed lightly but itsprevention can often he brought aboutly seeing that he gets plenty of heatproducing foods Fat oil sugar andstarch and potatoes are all good heatmakers and buckwheat cakes if nottoo steadily indulged in are one ofthe beat fortifiers against cold

If the troubles cannot be mitigatedby diet try small doses of cod liveroil This will supply extra fuel andalso quicken the circulation

Ventilation must play the fore-most part in the winter hygiene Indesperation the mother whose childrenare the victims of cold rushes oft tothe school room to ask that the windows be kept closed While it is wellto keep him out of a direct draft It Isreally his only salvation to be nearenough a current of fresh air so that hewill not be inhaling over and over thegases from other childrens lungs Ifone of the number a cold the

of it are filling the air broadcastand it la only by constant fresheningthat the susceptible child can be keptfrom constant exposure

which for once correspond To thosewho cannot she dilutes the toffee withscalding milk If cream hi instated on itmust never be heated and it also Is oneof the nice points that the milk shouldnot be allowed to come to a boll Tohave it just right it should be put Ina double holler and watched until thewater surrounding it comes to a boilwhen it should be taken out For din-

ner have the coffee made In a Frenchcoffee pot so carefully that It flavorwill convert the most oldfashionedcream devotee to taking it clear Thehygienic point of view is that coffee

I never a baby In the mouth Itis criminal says a woman physician Inone of womens hospitals in the city

I know of no more injurious thingthan the of a babys mouthshe declares For from experience Iknow that many diseases are transmitted to little ones by their parents orothers touching their lip

VA guard her infantsjut as dlosely from as frommeasles whooping cough etc forthough grown persons do not as a rulehave any of the to whichdren ar susceptible and so do notthem to the little ones such as theyfrequently have are chronic and for thatreason worse if contracted throughthe breath by young babies I had onecase where a newly born child died asthe result of a kiss It was but a fewdays old when a nurse caring for themother kissed It on the and thenext day she scarlet fever-I took every precaution to prevent thelittle one coming down with thesame disease but to no purpose for Ithad a mats evere attack and died inlose than a week from the time its lipswere kissed

I always advise mothers againstallowing little to be Kissedon the lips even by their andminediat family A babys mouthshould not be kissed I contend andif this rule were strictly followed therewould be fewercrobe could not then be tothEm I warn against kind of acarets on the face beats or bands Infact I believe that young children shouldbe shown all possible tenderness butnot kissed and They do notunderstand U and frequently I haveseen them made most uncomfortable bybeing close in a mothersarms and half smothered by kisses onthe lips Grown persons often do notrealize how bard are pressing thelittle bodies in their arms until the in-

fants cry out in pain and then theyfrighten the youngsters by suddenly

them all over the face in aneffort to show how sorry they are beauiie the little one cried I wish I

could make mothers fathers and nurses ithat they can best show their i
