than the average infant enjoys of getting
safely through the fl year OF it's life
The troub es baby is obliged to en-
counter. and the difficulties 1t has to
overcome, in order to grow up, are
shown in a striking way at the exhibit
ton of the health congress, now being
held in Washington. How often it's eff
forts in this direction are attended with
failure is made manifest by an incan-
descent lamp. which ceases TO glow every
ten seconds day and night. As indi-

The latter goes out.
This applies, however, only to the civ
ilized world-that is to say, to approx
lnately 600,0o0GOo people. or one-third of
the entire population of the globe. 1t is
thought likely that, if the whole popula-
ton of the planet on which we dwell is
considered. the life of an infant is
''snuffed OUT once every three seconds
in the twenty-four hours
Now, what are the most formidable
of the obstacles which the average baby
is obliged to meet and to overcome be-
fored II can earn the right to grow up
and achieve maturity, becoming a man
or a woman?
The answer is that the first of these
obstacles is digestive trouble-due prin-
cipally to bottle feeding. The second is
debility-the child is too weak to live.
The third Is pneumonia. which, with
other respiratory maladies, takes in
winter to great extent the place of
stomach and Intestinal disorders the
cause of infant mortality. the digestive
tnschiefs being mainly president i'll the
summer time.
In summer six bottle-fed babies die of
digestive troubles for every breast-fed
baby. One trouble about the bottle is
danger of overlooking. On the other
hand, the mothers supply of milk regu-
lates itself according to the demand of
the infant. and it's composition actually
is different in warm and in cold weather.
Nay. more. its composition changes for
the successive periods of a child's growth
y 4
Breasted babies do not often die of in
fictitious diseases, one reason for this fact
being that the mothers milk contains GER
tain protective substances which tend to
render the child immune. Thus il often
happens that half dozen older children
in the family are taken down with
measles, while the baby at the breast
escapes the malady. All of which being
considered. 1t Is obvious that many thou
sands Of infants in this country annually
die because their mothers refuse to nurse
them.
Many babies born into the world are too
weak to live. because their parents are
physically unfit. Some are too weak be-
cause they are born before their proper
time. a misfortune which occurs in nearly
two per cent of all births. Others are too
weak because their mothers are overwork-
ed or underfed. If baby is to have a
fair start the mother should have plenty
of good food to eat and she ought NOT Tn

We are occasionally asked how long
it takes after application to make final
proof before the hearing will come off.
We can only judge by what we know
of others. But it is safe to say that it
will take at least two months from the
date of the application before the date
will be set for hearing. In many in
stances it takes twice as long, or four
months and even longer. A mistake
will take an extra month. We have
