Ths very best tonhi for a bby la purs air. It should ds supplied twenty-four hours In each ; day, rreeh air, properly Inhaled. Is ths preventive of catarrh , and tubercu losis. Pure air Is the bay's - Just due. No mother hs ths right to deprive her child of thts precious, health-giving boon. In the darker ages of motherhood, bsblea were literally deprived of air, T this fact hay be traced part of the Whits Plague curs of : today,, I can recall seeing babies wrapped up,' head and all in dusty little thaw!, so that not breath ot fresh air could penetrate ths supposedly dell- oats lungs, I have seen babies thus wrapped up, tucked Into a cradle or hugs armohatr behind, a kitchen stove, where ths choking odors of cooking and coal gas were adder to the generally impure air of the room. Ths average mother In fact was con vinced that not a torsath of what she called "cold air" must reach her baby's lung , Is It not wonderful that so many of M have lived to raise babies mors sanely f This Is a fresh-air are. But thla does not mean that a mother ahould to to extremes In supplying ths sir her baby needs nor In "hardening" lt body as soma faddists maintain. Ths baby should not bs chilled nor exposed to a direct draught, but ths air In the room should b oooi and purs, not hot and fetit. In this one respect, strangely enough, ths city baby has ths best of ths country baby. The average city house Is uniformly heated by steam or turn ace, and easily ventilated. Ths coun try or farm house Is still heated largely by stoves. One room la very hot, others very cold. Ths warm rooms are places of refugs for the entire family and they are kept too hot. often every window Is closed tightly and the fr Is sadly vitiated. It is a tWmtflcunt fact that all the Better Babies Contest this year where the Better Babies Bureau of fered two championship prises, one for city babies and one for coun try bablet, the city babies scored higher than the country babies and showed a bfter chest development The country baby should have the beet of air to breathe, but It doea not, beuause Its home I seldom well ventilated, and because Hs fenay'fsrm mother has so little time to take It out In the fresh air. The city mother Is always belnt reminded t dangers from Impure sir, hy news paper writers, by talks at clube and social centers and at clinics. Kven her older children come home from schoel, preaching the gospel of freah air for the family baby. Rhe la shamed Into ventilating her houae vroperly 'and taking her baby mt for a dally airing, The country mother keeps Vr house closed In winter to shut out id and In summer to ward off heat, dust and files, Tier baby has small chance to breathe freah 'air. From the beginning, the baby, city or country, should sleep In a ventl lated room; window open top to hot. torn, at a temperature of from (5 to TO degrees T. A thermometer I a better Investment than cough syrup. A. baby raised In a uniform tempera ture Will not need cough syrup. Ths crib should not stand In a draught but'he protected by a creen. If the room Is very small, opening oh a Isrger room, let the ventilation com from the larger room. Happy, alao, that mother whose house can boaxt an open fireplace. This room ahould be choeen for baby's nursery, Open flrnplace ventilation Is Ideal. Whenever possible the baby ehould b tucked warmly Into a carriage and Allowed to aleep outdoors In the day time. Only extreme cold ; and In clement weather should prevent thla semilble plan. Nor ahould the baby's face be covered while sleeping out doors. A sunny corner of the porch In an Ideal day sleeping room, with the carriage screened from the sun. In summer, 'a moaqulto net ahould protect the baby from file, gnats, etc. ' " . Never ahould a child be allowed to sleep in a room with gas or lamp burning low. The fumes from such Illumination are extremely bad for the lungs. They exhaust the oxygen which the baby need so sorely. The farm mother who can't take her baby for a dally airing ha no excuse for not letting It sleep out doors. If ih ha no carriage, ah can have caster put on the crVb and roll It out on the porch, or even deep box can be paddd and baby can be made made safe id comfortable by adding a firm hair mattrem and warm blankets, When the baby be gins to !t Up and play," a similar padded box or small fenced enclosure should be built, on thn porch for a nuraery. It la positive injustice, nothing short of criminal, to keep a dellcete baby In the kitchen. Many a mother worn out with a fretful baby will secure rent for her self and good health for the baby by making It comfortable outdoors. The sleep In frenh air la reetful, land bablea that will not aleep well In doors acquire the habit If placed on th quiet porch or under a shady tree. ' . The sturdy baby ahould have It regular airing, weather permitting, from the age of two week. At alx months, the airing In his carriage, ex clusive of Sleep, understand, ahould laat an hour and the time should be gradually Increased until at five or six years, he play th greater part of the time outdoor toy habit. Tf the day I Inclement, rainy, blustery, at least open the nursery window and dressing the baby,' cap and all, as for his-dally ride, let him breathe the air tor a half hour or more. In winter, the dally rid should he given In the sunrrlert ttme of the day. In summer, choose the cooler hour, early morning and Juat before bed time.
