Page 14 The Oregon Statesman Baby -Edition Regular Habits For Meals Need Rules Outlined to Tell Parents How to Avoid Bad Discipline Fathers and mothers hare a duty to perform in teaching the child to eat regularly, to eat all the food set before him and to eat and diet which the doctor, not the child's likes, prescribe. The well-fed child never results from hit-or-mhss methods, lie is an accomplishment of parental discipline and his well-betng is dependent on the start he re ceives in handling his food. Seven reasonable rules for feeding the child are: 1. He should be taught to eat slowly, and to drink but little water with meals; plenty between meals. 2. Teach him to eat what is put before him, or go hungry. 3. Give him no fried food, tea or coffee. 4. As a rule, he should be al lowed no food between meals un less so ordered by a physician. 5. He should be taught to brush his teeth after each meal and before going to bed. 6. Give him milk that is safe. Pasteurized, certified, evaporated or dried, are all free from dis ease germs. Milk should always be kept covered and cool. 7. The child should receive cod-liver oil regularly. Sun baths may be substituted for this un der the physician's orders. New Types of Cloiiiing Available For Mother's Use in Handling Her -Child; Knitted Diapers Are-Used Calmness Needed When a child is sick, his mo ther Khould behave as much as possible like a trained nurse. Her attitude should be calm and rest ful. Avoid letting the child know you are worried. There will be many a hot sum mer day when the small baby will need ao clothing except his sleeveless band and a diaper. Yet even these two familiar objects have undergone a good many changes. Progressive doctors and educa tors have discovered that seem ingly unimportant trifles may make a great difference In a baby's health and welfare. Man ufacturers have been quick to fol low. And modern mothers who find these new garments in their fav orite stores recognize that. In many instancs, the new things are not only good for baby, but mean less work as well. The old stand-by diapers the flannelette and the birdseye are not the only ones that the well dressed baby may wear! His mother may choose other types, each with its own advantages. Shaped to Baby's Waist Knitted diapers were the first to appear. They are made of soft cotton in such a way as to be shaped to the baby's body, elim inating bulk around the waist and thighs. Thickness comes only in the middle, where it is most needed. These diapers have es pecially good powers of absorp tion, can not chafe, and are eas ily laundered. Another new diaper is made of layette cloth, which is light weight, airy and porous. This type Is also very soft and ab sorptive. A unique feature is the hemless edge which means extra comfort. Not only are these easy to launder, but the thinner ma terial is very quick to dry as well. Hospitals, doctors and nurses have been quick to praise both the knitted diaper and the one made of layette cloth, especially FOR BABY'S SAKE . .

Paper Pad Used With an eye to ' making dia per laundering leas of a chore, one manufacturer has put out pads, soft as mother's own fa cial tissues.' When these are laid oa the folded diaper as a lining, it la the pad rather than the diaper which becomes soiled and Is quickly discarded. The price of these makes them as practical as the idea sounds. And now comes a new idea in outer clothing, too. One manu facturer of flannelette gertrudes and gowns Is treating them with a new process which resists mois ture entirely (unless they're be ing laundered, of course) and so keeps them clean longer. Bands continue to be made of cottons, rayons and silks with or without a mixture of wool. One well known line includes a band that is especially popular fors summer. The top is of soft, cool mercer ired lisle without any wool to chafe sensitive chests and backs. But across the abdomen, which U apt to need more pro tection, the fabric is 20 per cent wool. Shirt, Band Combined Another .manufacturer steps forward with a shirt and band combined In one garment. The wide band at the bottom elimin ates the tearing of shirt and tabs caused by pins. This garment has not buttons, pins, or tapes, and has an elastic neckband which Toys Very Vital In Child Program Careful Choice Needed by Mother;. Ingenuity of Child to Be Tried The little child's toys are more than playthings. They are his schoolbooks. They teach him countless things which he will need to know. The thoughtful mother will see to it that her baby has the right toys at each different stage of his development, and these toys should be selected with care. The casual gifts of relatires or the bright object that caught mother's eye on a downtown shop ping trip are not enough. During the first few months of a baby's lite, safety should be the chief consideration in choosing toys. Stuffed dolls and animals should have no fuzz or fur to come off in the baby's mouth or eyes. Painted finishes must be non-poisonous. There should be no small parts which are likely to come loose and be swallowed. makes it easy to slip on orer baby's head. Still a third line features shirts and bands which can be slipped on in a twinkling. Band straps that can't slip off to press on a delicate shoulder bone and shirt sleeves that can not bind or chafe re points which the manufactur er stresses. These, too, do away with the need of pins, buttons or tapes. ; From the very first toy, 3 the baby leania how ;to grasp an ob ject and hold on to it. He learns the "feel" of different kinds of objects. His eyes become accus tomed to differences In color. ' Rattles, ' bath toys, soft stuffed animals and rubber dolls are all good choices for baby's first toys. Strings of large colored wooden beads or. empty spools which will teach him how to grasp. When the baby starts to walk, pull toys are ah aid in learning to balance. Simple books with large pictures will teach the child to recognise many objects with which he should be familiar. Building blocks will teach the co ordination of eyes and muscles. As the child grows, there are many thins he needs to learn, all of them equally important The family should see to it that there are toys to develop each side of the child's nature. Needs to Make Things In order to learn self-reliance and Ingenuity, he must have toys with which he can make things. Building toys are excellent for this. Children also need toys which help them to imitate a grown up world, its ways and its responsibilities. Telephones, doll turn Itnre, dolls that can be dressed and un dressed, tor housekeeping equip ment, tools, etc.. each make the child familiar with some phase of the adult world. There should be toys which teach a child to play quietly and happy by Itself, without being a nuisance to anyone and without becoming restless. Drawing sets, beads to string, scissors games andslmllar toys will help to de velop this trait. f 4 f?K J if? f V -.2 W V PRESERVE YOUR BABY'S FOOD With a New 1936 SUPER-SAFE REFRIGERATOR If babies could only talk, every home would have a SAFE Grunow.
