BABY LAWS IN FRANCE.
Protection of Infants Against thu
Ignorance of Parents.

Protection of Infants Against the
Ignorance of Parents.
From Home Comfort
Owing to a low and declining birth rate
which has reached a point where it means
an annual loss Of some 10000 Of population
year, France has resolved to take care of
what babies she has. It is the frequent COM
plant Of physicians that ignorant or careless
parents kill their infants by giving them
solid food 1t is recited that mother, whose
year-old baby died, exclaimed, ~ don't know
why she died. She was perfectly we'll this
A law has been adopted fOrbidding any one
to give solid food of any kind to infants IN
der l year without the written authority Of
a qualified physician. Also the use of long
rubber tubes to feeding bottles is prohibited
because of the difficulty Of keeping them ster-
ilized.
These prohibitions seem like a serious in
they would be resisted in the United States,
where the rights Of parents are supreme
One consequence Of undisputed parental au-
thority Is that the infant mortality of the
large cities is appalling. In France so much
depends on restoring the former balance be-
any measure of state interference which would
be effective would find advocates. Since 1891
the deaths have exceeded the births and as
there is no hope of increasing the propog ton
of births, which is now twenty two to each
LOCO of population, the only hope Is in pre-
serving the lives Of many children as pos
sible. The system of milk inspection, on
depends in Paris, is said to be thor
ough and effective. Medical men believe
that the rate of infant mortality will be low
cred when the new law is fully operative.
