AIDS FOR YOUNG MOTHERS

Two items of equipment for the baby which should be popu- lar with young mothers have Just been put on the market by British manufacturers.

The first is a device

It con~ sists of a folding metal stand which is lxed to the axle, can be kicked back out of the way when the prant is being pushed, and pulled down when it is standing. There is a hum tory behind this Invention. for it was designed by a grandfather after his own grandchild had fallen out of its prom.

The second device is a special bath for baby which can be fitted in any sized dint bath, resting on edges by means of metal supports. It can be Aled from the tap geyser of the ble bath, and s movable plug allows it to be emptied into the big bath ton. Thus both splashing and the rather tiresome necessity for setting up baby's bath and Alling and emptying it by hand are eliminated. Moreover the bath is at convenient height for mother. These baths can be ob- tained in steel, stove enamelled, or in bluntalum, in different colours.
