Enquire within upon everything

2067. Feather Beds. Feather Beds should be banished from nurseries, as they are unnatural and debilitating contrivances. 2068. Windows. The Windows should never be opened at night, but may be left open the whole day in fine clear weather. 2069. Position of Bedstead. Lastly, the Bedstead must not be placed too low on the floor; nor is it proper to let children sleep on a couch which is made without any elevation from the ground; because the most mephitic and pernicious stratum of air in an apartment is that within one or two feet from the floor, while the most wholesome, or atmospheric air, is in the middle of the room, and the inflammable gas ascends to the top. 2070. Cookery for Children. 2071. Food for an Infant. Take of fresh cow's milk, one tablespoonful, and mix with two tablespoonfuls of hot water; sweeten with loaf sugar, as much as may be agreeable. This quantity is sufficient for once feeding a new-born infant; and the same quantity may be given every two or three hours,--not oftener,--till the mother's breast affords natural nourishment. 2072. Milk for Infants Six Months Old. Take one pint of milk, one pint of water; boil it, and add one tablespoonful of flour. Dissolve the flour first in half a teacupful of water; it must he strained in gradually, and boiled hard twenty minutes. As the child grows older, one-third water. If properly made, it is the most nutritious, at the same time the most delicate food that can be given to young children.
