McCUNE. 7r3 HE healthiest child will have its M gj sick days. While mothers aro J learning moro and more prc-l prc-l ventive measures against the ordinary ills of childhood, they cannot A follow their offspring around every minute to watch what they cat or where they walk, or if they keep their coats on at play. Children can and should be taught good health habits from the cradle, .But they are more or less irre'sponsiblc and a certain amount of Illness has to be reckoned with during the early years. ' Colds, croups and coughs aro tho lot of most children to a greater or less degree. Abrupt changes of weather, catching ofgorms in schoolrooms, cars and church, carelessness on tho part of the child or the mother, all account for colds. Weather changes cannot always al-ways be provided for, but tho child can be mado more or less immune to cold if tho body is kept at the topnotch of vitality. Proper feeding, regular bowel movements, plenty of sleep --the growing grow-ing child needs from ten to twelve hours every night of his life plenty of fresh air and exerclso will all keep him healthy and well. Tho growing child's mouth and teeth should be -examined for enlarged tonsils, ton-sils, adenoids and teeth cavities. All these will welcome cold germs and prove a great nuisance besides. When tho cold does come, call a doctor, doc-tor, have him prescribo a treatment and follow it carefully.

When you wake In the night to hear tho laborious breathing of the kiddlo you have several courses to follow. Try hot compresses on tho throat, repeating re-peating thorn as they get cold. If this doesn't relieve tho congestion try a steam kettle, an alcohol lamp with a kettlo of water directing Its steam ovor the bed will help. Sometimes an umbrella with a blanket over it will hold the steam over the suffering child. A doso of Ipecac or mustard water to make him vomit will be another method meth-od of relief. If the croup seems very serious send for tho doctor immediately, immedi-ately, but take these precautionary mothods until ho arrives. A child can choke to .death with croup, but this does not happen very often unless tho |
