"BABY-SAVING"
DAY OBSERVED
SUNDAY, BOSTON

Boston, Nov. s-'Baby-saving day" was
observed In a number of churches here
today, in connection with the arrange
.ments for the 9Th annual meeting of the
American Association for Study and Pre-
.vention of Infant Mortality, to be held in
Boston this week. The meeting will
bring together specialists in baby-saving
from all parts OF the country-doctors,
health officers. nurses, teachers and So
cial workers.
Prenatal Care" is to be emphasized
at the meeting. The vital statisticians
say over one-third of the total number
of babies who die during year, stay in
this world less than a month The ex-
perts believe that the lives of many of
these babies would be saved if there was
proper prenatal care. This Is being
done by the establishment of obstetrical
clinics in connection with hospitals or
the work of baby-saving organizations;
and by carefully supervised instruction
by visiting nurses of the expectant moth
ers. in their own homes.
Mrs Max West of the Federal Chill
dren's Bureau will show. in report
that has been prepared under the au-
spices of the Bureau, how the recognition
of the importance of this work has been
steadily increasing, until now over 40
organizations in 80 or more cities are do
ing it Systematically as an integral part
of their baby-saving activities. DIR. A.
b. Emmons, End, of Boston, will describe
the resources for giving prenatal care;
and DR.. ]. Whitridge Williams of Balti-
more. Professor of Obstetrics and Dean
of the Johns Hopkins Medical School, the
President of the Association, will dis
cuss. in his presidential address, the
possibilities and limitations of prenatal
care. There will also be discussions of
the need of adequate maternity hospital
service, and at charges which will be
adaptable to incomes of all classes
Those who will take part will include DR.
Mary Sherwood, Baltimore; Dr. W.\W
Chapman of Montreal; DIR. Edward Rey-
nolds of Boston and DIR. e. p. Davis of
Philadelphia.
Another feature of the baby-saving
program that will have special attention
Is the Baby Welfare Consultation"
which has been established in many
places as means of keeping well babies,

medical relations. IT do not under
rate our German medical science he
said, but could 1t have reached its
present greatness without the mutual
relations with the medical science of
other nations? Have we always been
the givers and never the receivers?
Shall we. because England has become
the best hated enemy. remove the
picture of Lord Lister from the wall
of our Langenbeck hospital; shall we
forego for all future time all relations
with the English or any other country's
medical science?
with regard to Japan. Japanese
medical science has been till now the
receiver. But Japanese diligence to-
gether with German genius has pre-
scented German medicine and the whole
world with one of the most valuable
medical acquisitions. If after the war
a long lasting peace-also with Japan
comes, the war in science could not
be continued. The political enemies of
today can be the best friends tomor-
row. If We wish to maintain our
power in the world, for which this war
is waged, also after the war, we can
main in touch with the whole world
and if the relations are partly inter-
rupted we must restore them.
THAT we shall treat the various
nations differently is a matter of
course. Our present allies will occupy
a privileged position. After the ter
mination of the hostilities a certain
feeling will remain against our enc
mics, especially against England, Rus
STA and Japan and it will take long
time and continual good behavior on
their part before the old good relations
can be restored. But after the war
the relations Of our universities with
all now hostile foreigners must be
again correct"

lowed, as is the practice with commits
sion men in some places, what he con-
sidered a fair price for the potatoes.
In this particular case it was so cents,
after his commission of 5 cents per
bushel had been taken out. Thus
after he had actually paid out so
cents in the production of the crop,
had spent four months in growing it,
had taken the risk of drought, insects,
fungous diseases, and so forth. we had
profit of ten cents per bushel
AS a matter of interest we, followed
certain shipments of these potatoes
which, while they may not fully rep
resent the average, so nearly is this
the case that, the results are worthy
of note. 1t was found that certain Of
the shipments upon which returns
had been made at so cents bushel
were actually being sold TO jobbers
for one dollar per bushel, or three
dollars per barrel. The jobbers in
turn sold the potatoes to certain re-
tailers at an advance of rs cents per
bushel The retailers, who were men
running small stores in the city, were
retailing these same potatoes to their
customers in small quantities at 10
cents quarter of a peck, or at the
rate of 40 cents a peck or s1.00 per
bushel
Here, then, is a difference in price
between the producer and the con-
sumner of one dollar per bushels or in
other words, the crop after it leaves
the growers hands suddenly takes on
value of 40 cents per bushel to the
commission man; % cents to the job
Der, and 35 to the retailer.
Putting it in another way, the
grower. after four months effort,
realized profit on his investment OF
20 per cent: the commission man who
acted in the dual capacity of COM
mission man and wholesaler, after
holding the product an average of As
hours realized profit of Sc and two
thirds per cent; the jobber, on short
turn lover, rs per cent; and the retail
er. on an average holding Of probably
three days, 20 per cent.
These are statements of fact which
in a more or less degree will be found
to apply to nearly all of the perishable
crops that the farmer produces. We
make no comment at this time, be-
ing content with pointing out the
necessity of organized, intelligent eff
fort to bring the producer and the
consumer a little closer together.

POTATOES

For the past two or three days quite
few potatoes have been arriving in
the Fort Fairfield market. Green
Mountains are now bringing 80 cents,
the best of them IS cents. Cobblers
average perhaps a little higher some

although IS cents Is a kind of stand

pinched by the frost are fast being
worked out, and the quality from now
out will average excellent One or
two farmers are not yet done digging,
but the remarkable openness of the
fall favors such late diggers. There
is d general feeling that potatoes will

number it hauled was 1922, while in
October, 1912, the number was 2415.
The very low prices paid for some

been bought for shipment, are the rea-

 The Satsuma is very prolific and comes into bearing when two years old.
 The writer has counted the fruits on number of two- year old trees in Mobile and Baldwin counties which had from 50 to 125 fruits per tree
 The ouryear old trees had from 200 to 400 fruits and eghtyear old trees from 1000 to 15OO fruits and net return of S4OO from two and onehalf-acre orchard"

 None of the Alabama orchards have missed crop since they came into bearing.
