Educational Association.
The question of health will be the most
important topic for discussion. The
enormous infant mortality and the means
for its prevention will be considered.
This subject already has been wrestled
with by the Mothers Congress in many
large cities, where circulars and PAM
phlets have been printed and circulated,
giving full directions for feeding, bathing,
and dressing babies, especially during hot
weather.
The number of babies under one year
OF age who died in the United States
last year was $4,000 knowledge that
many OF these little ones died from ignor-
ance of their mothers led the Mothers
Congress TO make n special crusade in
this direction. II is now the intention
to so spread knowledge of proper care
of infants that every mother will become
a trained nurse and know how to take
care of her child the moment 1t enters
the world. BY this method it is hoped
to reduce the large infant mortality.

Congress of Mothers affiliate actively with
boards of health, physicians associations,

PEST HOLE NEAR CAPITAL.
Fort Washington Is So Termed BY
Army Medical Officer.

Fort Washington, on the Potomac the
principal water defense of the National
Capital, has been declared "a pest hole
in an official report by Col. ]. Van r.
Hoff Of the Medical Corps, now serving
as chief surgeon on the staff of Gen.
Grant, commanding the Eastern Division
at New York. For years past medical
officers Of the army have been endeavor-
ing to render that artillery post more
habitable by the Introduction Of sanitary
measures that would result in reducing
the rate of disability on account of ma
Iaria among the troops at that post It
has for some time had the highest rate
for that particular disease among all the
military posts in the United States.
Fort Washington" says Col Hoff, in
a recent report. still maintains it's I'M
enviable reputation in that direction.
We have sanitated Cuba several times.
Panama Is a health resort. But Fort
Washington, within twenty miles of the
capital of our country, is a pest hole. 1t
reminds me Of our efforts to convert the
heathens of other lands, while the heath
ems at home are increasing and multiply
ing. l observed in a recent order that a
board of officers had visited this post
with regard to forestation. I hope they
will be able to find solution Of the
question of how to sanitate Fort Wash
ington. There seems to be nothing to be
done but to drain the swamps or to aban-
don the post"
