A drink of water will often satisfy a fretful baby and sometime* it U all that la needed to send a restless one off Into quiet sleep. One of the most frequent source* of misery for the baby Is found In his clothing, especially In hot weather, when any clothing Is a burden to him to wear. So many babies are over dressed that It ta no wonder they fret.

It is caused by overheating. due either to hot weather or to the f-ct that the baby is too warmly dressed. The rash comes and gees with the beet, and causes Intense Itching. The remedy for it Is to take off all the clothing and give the Laby a sponge bath In tepid water In which common baking soda bis been dU solved. Use one tablespoonful of soda to two quarts of water.
