The First Six Weeks.

France will do tiff only on the
evidence of the "Baby's Smile Of
Nancy.
Why did stipulate for first de-
lay OF six weeks?" explained Prof
Herrgott the other day to rich and
influential Paris audience. And why
is the work called the 'Baby's Smile"
First. because infant mortality is most
frequent between the ages of one day
and six weeks. And, secondly, be-
cause it is during the sixth week that
the first smile appears on baby's lips!
DO you not know that? WelL when
a mother has fed baby at her breast
until the epoch when she sees that
smile appear. baby is saved. No
bottle for him! He will not be aban-
doned either by mother or breast"
"On condition that the mother has
the means to keep her baby with her,"
interrupted one of the vice presidents.
What are $50 bills for?" snorted
the professor. Senator Plot is right.

The Hope of the Country.

France" he says; and there are vital
reasons why the numerous and highly
organized day nurseries of the Societe
des Creches. while having their vital
raison d'etre after the child is well
weaned, slow weaned, you understand,
ought not to separate the baby from
its mother even in the day time
The Societe des Creches has 80 such
establishments in Paris. Twelve of
them are financially sustained by the
municipality: but you would not know
them from the others. All are run on
the same plan. Has the poor mother
a legal domicile in the ward? 1t is
the only question asked when there
is ROOM and baby is fed and cared
for all day while mamma works, till
night, when mamma comes to take it
home with her. Apart from these,
many wards contain their own special
day nurseries; not to speak of fash

ment infant mortality varies between
2S per cent and 80 per cent.
A celebrated doctor of the Assist
ance Publique has declared to the
Academy of Medicine that in Paris,
infant mortality varies between five
and 80 per cent-according to the
mode of feeding and the care given
the infant.
Convinced of the startling truths or
the Nancy experiment, the founders OF
the Abatement Maternel are demand

working mothers of Paris what my

Senator Edme Plot, highly remarka-
BILE personality
Son of a Burgundian family so poor
that he was kept from school to work
in the fields, he broke stone on the
highways and worked over all France
as navy; but as early as 1884 he
was taking small contracts on his own
account; and he finally became the
greatest of all French railway con-
tractors.
Becoming very rich, Senator Plot
has made himself famous throughout
all Burgundy by a special kind OF
liberality-the financial helping of
poor parents.
Actually he is the great authority
on depopulation; president of the
senate committee relative to subsidies
which the law already permits to be
granted TO communes for distribution
to families of five and more, and au-
thor and untiring pusher of bill for
the subventioniAg of every mother OF
a newborn child.

izjng the private Oeuvre de la Ma
ternite of Prof. Alphonse Herrgott,

Prof. Herrgott was convinced that

prevent any separation of the mother
and her unweaned child.
IF | give money at the start he
argued how will it be employed?
viii | get results? No"
Therefore he said to each mother
quitting his Maternity hospital:
Nurse your babe from your breast;
and in six weeks come back and see
me. The babe will be weighed and
examined. If it is in fine condition,
I'll give you $40 cash"
1t was the first cash for babies In
France!
And the results were magical. In
coutse of time Prof. Herrgott had so
many mothers proudly bringing him
their superb babies-and demanding
money at each weighing-that the
private fortune of the good man
melted. Fortunately private donations
and substitutes from the department
came to his aid. Now the municipality
has II in hand; the work extends over
all Nancy, where the infant mortality
has fallen to three and one-half per
cent.-lower than in the rich wards
of Paris, where five per cent. was con-
sidered phenomenal.
