and relief from care in their sultry

ments. In 1911, 10 tired mothers and 80
children from the crowded and squalid
streets occupied by the poor OF New

for happy and life-giving week by the
seaside, and means were provided
through which one frail child was en-
abled to stay all summer. During these
hot days even the moderately well-to-do
can afford spending a small sum Of mon

WHY BABIES DIE.
Woman Charges Kindness Kills
Many of Them.
Mrs. L. S. 3. Robinson In Address De-
cIares Infants Mould Thrive on
Care Given to High Breed
of Puppies.

ST. Paul.-'1f we thought half as
much of our babies as the breeders OF
thoroughbred puppies do OF their
animals we would not tolerate the
shaking, fondling and cuddling with
which we seek to quiet and amuse
them" said Mrs. l.. S. B. Robinson OF
the Baby Welfare association, at
meeting of the Bethel Woman's club.
mo man who has high grade pup
pies will allow any one to fondle or
fuss with them. The father who losses
his baby up to the ceiling and makes
him laugh until he gets fairly hyster-
ical is responsible for much OF the
chronic nervousness which develops
as the child grows up.
1T is a crime to bounce and toss
a baby until the food in its stomach
Is SO shaken up 1t cannot be dlgested.
The tendency to shake our babies
is due to American nervousness. the
babies cry and We do not know wnat
to do for them. 1t is far better TO
put them on the bed and let them
cry. If they are comfortable and are
not hungry, it will do them no harm.
whatever, and 1t will be better for
them. Babies are very easily trained.
1T is often sacrilegious statement
to say when a baby dies that God
took it, 1t died through the fault OF
the mother, who will not do what she
should for the baby. More babies are
killed by kindness than anything else.
The mother does everything the neigh
bors, friends and relatives tell her.
America has the highest infant NOR
tally rate of all the better governed
countries. One bab- in every five
dies before 1t reaches the age Of one
year. Food Is the most important
thing to the young baby. and 1t
should not be fed too much or too
often. We need city ice company
which would furnish the poor fam
lilies with few cents worth Of ice
each day, for ice is an absolute neces-
sity. Milk which has been exposed to
the warm air becomes poisonous.
Then flies are the cause Of much
sickness to babies and to adults. II
the fly does not fall into the milk
and drown, to be fished out, it crawls
along the edge of the pitcher. and then
the milk is poured out over the germs

we can at least afford netting, and
this will keep out the flies. Better go
without a new hat and let the chill
dren go without new clothes and get
some screens.

STOLE RIBBONS FROM GRAVES
Girls Arrest Reveals Shocking Prae-
tlce In English Pottery District
Used Them for Hair.

London.-Arnold Bennett has given
in his books some curious glimpses
of the life and character of the in
habitants of the pottery districts, but
he told nothing SO extraordinary as
that which was revealed by a police
court case heard at Fenton, Stafford
shire.
Two young girls were charged with
stealing ribbons from wreaths which
had been placed on a new grave in
the cemetery. The prosecuting So
licitor said that there had been so
many complaints of offenses of this
kind that these cases had been
brought as a deterrent. The two
girls, who were caught in the act of
taking the ribbons from the wreaths.
were discharged with a caution.
Inquiries show that ribbons are
stolen regularly from the potteries
cemeteries by girls. who use them to
tie up their hair or to decorate their
dresses.
