ences. The main efforts was to induce
the mothers to nourisil their children I'm
the natural way, and out OF the 1873
babies living at the end Of the first
month, less than four out of a hundred
were forced to rely ON cows milk. Ye.
100000 quarts of fresh, clean milk was
distributed through the fifty-fiye munich
pal milk stations.
The two efforts that are being made in
all the progressive cities are to induce
mothers to forego bottle feeding for their
babies, and. where this cannot be done.
to see that the babies get wholesome
milk. In Chicago not long ago. there
was published cartoon entitled, 1.-THE
Long and the Short Haul" 1t showed
one baby with a nursing bottle. the tube
of which started at farm sixty miles
away. The milkman was milking dirty
cows, in dirty stable, and using a dirty
bucket. Then came the haul to the rail
road. then a wait, then a trip to the city
on the train, then it was hauled to the
dairy and thrown In with a lot of other
| milk. From there it was taken to the
house In bottle. At each step the pos
sible sources OF contamination were
shown. and it was stated that tie aver
age bottle-fed baby had TO draw its milk
through this tube. At the top Of the car
toon was modern Madonna with her
baby. and this was the ort haul.
During the first year Of its life the aver
age baby consumes 500 quarts OF milk.
When one considers that this milk may,
!, under present dairy conditions. come
from fifty or even a hundred dairy farms,
and that any one or them may render
milk of all the others dangerous, II
will be seen what a gamble with dealt,
the mother who buys milk from the aver
age dairyman forces her baby to take.
When II Is remembered that babies who
get their milk by the short haul show a
death rate only third as great as those
! who get it by the long haul, it will lie
seen what havoc the long hall PLAY s.
Under ordinary conditions thirty-five out
of every hundred bottle-fed babies die,
while only eleven out of hundred
breast-fed babies fail TO survive.

ger their lives. Dirty pilk without
contaSion in it is more fatal to babies
than contagion laden milk is to adults
Therefore it is peculiarly important
that the milk used in the feeding Of
infants shall be clean as well as free
from contagion.
Here is where the sanitarian en-
counters another difficulty. The ma
jority of the babies of the present day
do not come into homes where good
milk entails no extra burdens, but
rather into homes where. II sheer pow
erty does not hold sway, at least ev-
ery cent that can be saved must be
saved. The result Is that In the homes
where the majority Of babies are to
be found the poorest grade Of milk is
encountered-simply because 1t costs
less.
The death rate among infants is so
high that one statistician has calculated
that the. chances Of q baby surviving are
much less than t'ose Of man Of eighty.
OF all the people who die In the course
Of q wear, one out of every six Is a baby
less than a year old. It has been esti-
mated that half Of this mortality Is due
to bad milk and there are now innumer-
able milk depots maintained where the
supply OF milk for infants is looked after
by philanthropic societies

II there Is an insidious lobby it will
have for its foundation something more
than a few packages Of seeds. Also,
there Is small likelihood of the House
committee being influenced by party at

uat!on regarding the report is that re-
publicans might be led to combat the
Presidents view that lobby exists, and
democrats might be inclined to lean
toward the Presidents statement. How
ever, the makeup Of the special invests
