Baby Skin Needs Scientific Care By VIVIAN BROWN AP Newsfeature Writer 0Baby can't explain what hurts him when he is distressed, so 't is up to mother to be constantly alert, While baby is still in the hospital a constant health vigil is kept, es pecially regarding to skin erup tions. Later, when baby is home, mother must learn to recognize symptoms. To assist the doctor, if baby be comes ill. mother should record his temperature every four hours and not to be disturbed if it fluctuates as often is the case with young babies. She also should note any sign of rash, its color, the part of the body where it first appeared and where and how quickly it spread. All these signs help the doctor make his diagnosis. Take particular pains to see that baby doesn't infect himself by scratching itching parts. His .nails should be kept short .and clean. If necessary, fasten cardbo;yd tubes to his sleeves so that he cannot bend his elbows. Apply an anti septic baby oil to the skin to pre vent and soothe itching. A diaper area that is smarting and red may be caused by wet or improperly washed diapers. Always keep the rash portion clean and well oiled instead of soaped. Don't use rubber or other waterproof panties. When baby suffers from diaper rash or diarrhea, some physicians su~gest boiling used diapers for 20 minutes to destroy bacteria. Use a mild soap, lots of hot water and rinse the diapers through sev eral hot rinses. To prevent diaper stiffness finish off with a cold water to which some vinegar has been added. DR. J. O.

For night appointments, Call 413 or 334-J After diapers are dry, dust with antiseptic baby powder, fold and put in a clean drawer until ready to use. Prickly heat and chafing are in fections that attack baby's over worked sweat glands. The cost treatment, is to relieve conditions causing persp iration. Your doctor will probably tell you that you can accomplish this by putting baby on a light diet, increasing his liquid intake and adjusting his clothing and bed ding to meet weather changes. Use Sugar Sparingly, OPA Director Tells Eastern Housewives ® The need for sparing use of sugar was emphasized to house wives in Eastern North Carolina by OPA District Director Thepdooe S. Johnson in the announcement of reduced sugar rations. Sugar Stamp No. 36. good for five "pounds, effective on May I will stretch over a period of four months, instead of three and no additional stamp will be validated until September 1. he said. World wide sugar scarcity made it necessary to cut home canning allot ments, too. he said, point in . out that for the first time in over twenty years sugar supplies are confined to current production. Industrial users, such as bottlers, bakers, confectioners and the like, as well as institutional users, in cluding hotels and restaurants, share in the cut. he said. The home canning sugar allot ment is reduced to 15 pounds per person maximum, and with an overall family limit of 120 pounds, regardless of the size of the family, he explained. "But. he said, no food need go to waste because of this restriction provided sugar obtained for home canning Is used for home canning." # Read News & Views want ads.

CASWELL STREET KINSTON Herbert's on the Label Means Quality on the Table Clark Recommends Use of Grain Crop , For Fattening Hogs I By CHARLES C. CLARK. JR. Onslow County Agent 0 There is quite a demand for ■ meats this year, especially pork. During the past year so many hog > producers have had to reduce the number of their sows because of • the shortage of corn and the small 1 margin between the price of corn • and the price of hogs. Cheap gains can be made with hogs when soybeans are Used in a grazing crop, this was proven last year by a large number of demonstrations conducted in the state. Records kepr showed that hogs gained an average of nearly a pound in weight per day. Using green feed, such as soybeans as a grazing crop for hogs makes it possible to continue raising ho-.is for the market at a good profit. Soybeans for grazing should be planted during April in 24 in- '.i rows and cultivated one or twice to keep down grass and weeds. Start grazing the soybeans when they are 1- to 15 inches high, this will furnish grazing for hogs throughout the summer until frost. Hand feed the hogs about one pound of corn daily per 100 pound pig. also keep a mineral mixture before the hogs at all times. An acre of beans will graze approxi mately 8 to 10 pigs during the summer. For grazing in the fall and winter a mixture of small grain could be seeded the first of September which would give graz ing about the middle of November through the winter. A good mineral mixture could be prepared by mix ing one gallon of ground limestone, one gallon wood ashes and one quart of salt. R. R.
