Baby’s Bottle

To make sweet after washing, fill with water to which has been added one-half teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda, and leave standing until bottle is needed.

Bath

A most delightful bath may be taken by filling the bathtub with water as hot as can be comfortably borne and then thoroughly dissolving in it from one-half to one pound of Bicarbonate of Soda. It has the effect of softening the skin and giving it a velvety texture; it also corrects, in a great measure, body odors.
