Chicago.-Speaking before the Chi

brary the other night. DR.. Isaac A.
Abt made a plea for more scientific
care OF infants, saying that "the hui
man baby is better than a calf, but
more science Is applied to stock
raising than to the care Of infants"
Doctor Abt's subject was Recent
Advances in Prevention of Infantile
Diseases and Death Rate" He spoke
principally Of the work of the Chicago
milk commission, which recently was
reorganized under the name of the In
FAINT. Welfare society.
With the birth rate constantly de-
creasing we must cope with this great
est Of all problems, the conservation
OF our babies. The country Is facing
a crisis as never before in the matter
OF child raising" said the doctor Re
cent advances in scientific cattle and
hog raising have been much more
rapid than In scientific child raising.
The situation should be reversed to
give the child square deal. There is
crying need for education in Amer
lea along these lines and especially
urgent is the need for such a reform
In the great cities. To do this a sys-
tematic educational campaign must be
started under the leadership of the
medical men Of the great cities"
That the general health of the city
OF Chicago had improved materially
during the past week and that 40
fewer cases of pneumonia were re-
ported than during the previous week
was the information contained in the
bulletin sent out by the city health de-
partment. But the bulletins stated
that the pneumonia death rate had
been high since November and would
probably continue so until warm
weather came again.

persistent warnings and advice Of the
