Virginin and Western Brands.

My attention has been called to the
quotations sent out by the commission
merchants and the feed dealers of
Richmond, in which they give Nir
ginia grown hay "a much lower figure
than they do Western hay. OF course
the merchants are quoting the market
correctly. but why should people want
TO pay more for Western hay than for
Virginia hay: There might have been
good reason for ii five or ten years
ago. but nowadays Intelligent Wiz
sinia farmers are giving more attcn-
ton to the cultivation and curing and
saving of hay than they used TO do.
and / know from careful study and
examination that the Virginia hay
that comes TO the Richmond market is
better than that which comes here
from Indiana and Ohio-and this ide;,
that the Indiana variety is better for
Richmond horses than is the Virginia :
grown variety has been exploded. The
contrary is the fact. The man who
pays $3.50 to So more for a ton of
Western hay than he is willing to pay
for Virginia grown hay il just simply
making Il lunatic of himself.

the business house of limited capital, the

in such small weekly or monthly in

Not To Be Destroyed

Destruction OF civilization" Is what
some very erudite writer's are predict
ing as the result of the awful Euro
pean war.
Fortunately, civilization Is not con-
fined to or wholly dependent upon
Europe. Not long ago. Europe had
what was called civilization, but there
was therein almost no such thing as
human freedom. The United States
Of America was established as re-
public and since that time mankind
all over the world has struggled for
freedom, the great promoter of civili-
zation. Those struggles have been
mighty factors In perpetuating civil
cation In our country. for they result
ed In our gaining Europeans too cour-
ageous and intelligent to put up with
q civilization that carried with It sub
serviency. The revolutions In France,
Germany, the British possessions and
other European parts, during the past
century or more, resulted In our coun-
try getting the choicest of those peo-
pies who loved freedom.
Speak Of civilization ana you mean
democracy, also. A condition Is pred
icated upon the average status, not
upon the status OF q select few.
Whichever side wins In Europe, the
result will be more democracy, and
the masses of people contributing
more than formerly Of their earnings
to the support of undemocratic condi-
tons. Our civilization will get more
OF the intelligent, substantial, free
dom-loving, civilization-building Euro
peans. Just as we've shown the world
progress in self-government, well
show 1t progress in civilization.

q report OF the mu-
nicipal department OF health, which
has Just been brought to the attention
OF officials OF the federal children's
bureau and of the United States pub
lie health service. The report Is q
result of an investigation OF infant
mortality In the city OF New York for
the period OF 10 years from 1904 TO
1913. inclusive. and In the opinion OF
child welfare experts II is most en-
couraging and shows that the cam
paign to cut down the infant death
rate in the largest city In the United
States Is successful
According to the city health depart
ment figures not only are fewer In
fants under one year OF age dying In
New York today than 10 years ago,
but like decreases are shown In the
classification OF children between one
and two years of age and two and hve
years. Persons interested In ehildren's
welfare have often expressed fear that
the efforts OF all organizations to pre-
vent infant mortality we're centered
too much In work 70 keep babies alive
during the first year after birth, only
to neglect them later. and have them
die during the second to nth year.
The department OF health OF the city
Of New York did not for a moment
subscribe to this view. and In order to
determine the facts In the case an In
vestigation was made OF the deaths
and death rates of the various age Pc
RODS under one year. between one
and two years, and between two and
FIVE years. The results of the investi-
CATION will interest social workers In
all parts OF the country. because most
progressive cities are engaged IN
child-saying campaigns similar to
that conducted in New York. although
usually on q smaller scale.
In 1904 more than 10000 infants un'
der one year Of age died In New
York, making death rate Of l62 pei
thousand, and last year less than IA.
600 children of this age died, reduc
ink the rate to 102 per thousand. In
1904 the city's mortality was more
than 5000 children between the ages
Of one and two years. and last year
slightly more than 3,700 died. reduc

children Of one 10 two years OF age

last year the number dropped to less
than $3.50, reduction OF the rate
from nearly Is per thousand to 80.

The Detroit times., 1914-09-15

In numbers there are far less childre ;
dying In New York today than there
were 10 years ago. Notwithstanding
the tremendous increase In population.
During the past decade the report or
the department of health shows that
the reduction In infant mortality be-
tween the first five-year period Of 1904
TO 1908 and the second hve-year period
OF 1909 to 1913 has been % per cent Tor
children under one year OF age. 20 per
cent for children between one and two
years. ~ per cent for children De-
tween two and Ave years, and 20 per
cent for all children under i've years
OF age. The report says that the sta-
tistics show plainly that the work or

partment OF health has had an innu-
ence which has extended not only
through the first year OF the infants
life. but throughout early Childhood.

most rural COM
munities have neglected this phase OF
the educational problem. according to
DR.. Taliaferro Clark, or the United
States public health service. who has
just made a report to SUPERINTENDENT
Rupert Blue on rural school hygiene.
According TO the last census report
there were more than 10,600,000 pupils
In attendance In rural schools and
less than 5000. 900 In city schools. and
DR.. Clark quotes these figures to show
that the majority of children Of i'm
questionable age in the United States
today are attending school without
the advantages Of sanitary and medi-
cal supervision. In his report to Sur
geon- General Blue he says that the
conditions are all the more regretta-
BILE because Of the presence In many
rural communities of numerous chill
dren who are suffering from durable
defects by reason OF the want OF
skilled medical advice.
Organized health work In schools
until the present has been largely con
fined to Cities" says Dr.. Clark. "Our
investigations demonstrate the ne.
cessity Of the extension OF this
work to country districts. where
reside so large q number OIL
people without the advantage OF
