"GIVE THE BABIES A CHANCE"

Here are the rules by which
this city keeps down the death fate
among new born babies:
"The laws against the over.
crowding of dwelling house and
tenement rooms are enforcedl
Amy attempt of various na1or-
alities to congregate in crowded
sections is discouraged. The build
ing of one story dwellings Spread
ing over great area, instead Of
tenements built skyward, is mot
only advised, but is promoted.
"The laws governing the ventila-
ton of buildings, the cleaning Of
streets and the collecting Of gar
bage are rigidly enforced.
"All cases of infectious diseases
are carefully quarantined.
Last, but most important so far
as the babies are concerned, every
dairy supplying milk to the city lie
subject to rigid inspection, tests Of
the milk are made constantly and
the laws governing the manage.
ment of diaries enforced.
"Give the babies chance"
say; "just as big chance for
health and happiness as we give
the grown ups--who were babies
once themselves"

Special Correspondence to The Press

LOS ANGELES June lift the
officials Of all big cities of the
United States would take as much
pains to enforce laws created to
protect babies az they do to en-
force those created for the benefit
Of grownups, the frightful death
rate among the little tolls of our
country would be cut in half"
This Is the statement of City
Health Officer l.. M. Powers Of Los
Angeles, a baby champion, who has
won his right to be listened to. For
statistics show that, for babies,
Powers has made Los Angeles the
most healthful city of 100000 in
habitants or over in the United
States. IL not in the world.
The latest figures disclose that
only one Of every 10 babies born
in this city die before they are one
year old, while the general death
rate for all the cities in the United
States is one out of every six.
The babies born in this city from
May 1, 1907. to May l. 1908, num-
bered 1884, including all races. or
these, only 418 died before they
were one year old.
There are several very import
ant reasons for this low mortality
among babies, and IL the other
cities would follow our plan there
is no reason why the frightful
death rate among babies should
not be oat down" says DR.. Powers.
