NEUTRALITY OF INFANTS
LESS THAN A YEAR OLD
Startling Figures for One Day-Careless
and Ignorant Mothers to Blame.

The deaths among infants under one
year OF age is matter which is giving
the Health Department much concern.
The report submitted yesterday for the
twenty-four hours ending at noon con-
tairs the startling information that A
per cent OF the deaths are infants under
nine months. and that 40 per cent were
persons over sixty years OF age. There
are no deaths reported between the ages
OF nine months and thirty-one years, a
fact which supports the contention OF
the Health Department that the first
year Is the most dangerous for the youth
Of Washington.
The chief reason for the mortality
is the lack OF proper care, many in
stances being noted where the infants
have been fed on bread and gravy, fresh
fruit. and other articles calculated tc
result fatally In such cases Although
much complaint has been made about
the quality of milk supplied the genera
public. the Health Department does not
believe that this is the cause OF the
majority CT deaths. The fault wouIt
seem to lie with the mothers. who are
either negligent or ignorant OF the need.
of the infant. The Health Officer ha.
| repeatedly recommended that all mill
for infants, whether fresh or condensed
be sterilized, but examination in man,
cases shows that this suggetion has no
been needed.
