THE TALK OF THE DAY

In plea for support of the work OF the
New York milk committee. in which he
points out the relation between clean milk
and infant health, Wilbur c. Phillips. Sec
retary Of the committee, writes in The
Medical Record: "The average cost OF
burying a baby in New York City, based
on information given the New York milk
committee by undertakers in all quarters
OF the city. is about $50 On the lower East
Side many babies are buried at cost not
exceeding $50 In the Italian quarter
where II appears less attention is given
to a chld's birth than to its funeral, the
average cost Is $50 Many babies receive
more expensive funerals. The cost Of these
brings the average cost up to $50. At $50 a
funeral the cost of burying the eight thou
sand babies who die needlessly each year
in New York City is no greater than what
it would cost 10 save these eight thousand
babies"
