HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE mouth, frequent head colds, etc., get medical advice at once and attend carefully to the cleanliness of the nose. The Ears. — The first rule in the care of the ears is cleanliness, but young children often need supervision in this respect. Therefore have an ear inspection each morning, remembering that where there's dirt there's danger. Dirty ears are unhealthy as well as unsightly. The ear lobe should be carefully cleaned every day, but a word of warning is necessary about the inside of the ear: that is best left alone. Any hard substance, such as twisted towel, matches, or hairpins pushed down the ear to clean it, may cause damage. Tiny children should have their ears cleaned out with a piece of soft rag which has been dipped in warm soapy water and twisted into a spiral. They should be dried in a similar way with another piece of soft clean rag, particularly behind the ear. Never neglect earache. If it persists, take the child to a doctor. Never try to syringe the ears. You might easily injure the sensitive drums and cause permanent deafness. BABY'S BATH THE baby's daily bath must never be omitted. It is impossible to keep him in good health unless the skin is kept perfectly clean. Young mothers may be a little nervous just at first, but they soon find that their babies are not difficult to handle, and that if they are sure and quiet in their movements the baths become a pleasure to themselves as well as to the children.
