KEEP THE NURSERY COOL When a baby is teething and restless, or when the weather is exceptionally hot, it is necessary to keep his roms as cool as possible. Blinds of green cane, fixed on the outside of the window, are useful for this purpose. The window should, of course, be open ail night. First thing in the morning, see that it is equally open top and bottom; then, as soon as the sun reaches it, draw the green blinds. On the inside of the window, fix an old sheet which has been wrung out in cold water containing a little disinfectant. Leave one corner in a bucket of water, so that, as the heat dries the sheet, fresh moisture is absorbed, and the temperature is kept cool.

On very hot days, especially if there is sickness, place another sheet over the open doorway. The sheets are easily kept in position by means of drawing-pins. While the children are out on their walks, or resting in the garden, place one or two pails or bowls of water in the middle of the room. These will help to keep the air cool, and will also attract some of the insects which are a source of irritation during the warm weather. There is no need to allow hot air to enter the nursery. Children and nurse will be equally grateful for the quiet shade when they return from their walks.
