Lcndon.-That shawls help largely
to Increase the death rate Of infants
In Industrial centers 10 the view Of
Doctor Lewis, medical omcer for
Swansea Valley.
The danger lies in the taking Of
thinly clad babies out Of warm rooms
into the cold air with no extra cover
ing but shawl. which is safe onlv
when there is warm clothing under.
meath. Abuse Of the shawl is most
frequent In Lancashire and Wales.
and Doctor Lewis says that Of fifty.
two recent deaths Of infants in his
district half were due to illness caused
by the action of mothers In taking
the children out wrapped in their
shawls.
THE custom of shawl wearing for
mother in Industrial centers Is prob
ably as good as any other, provided
the shawls are worn judiciously," said
another medical man. The mortal
ity among babies is due to want OF
thought, mothers not realizing tho
risks Of the different temperatures.

AS one grows old their organs act
more slowly and less effectually than in
youth, circulation is poor, the blood
gets thin, the appetite poor and diges-
ton weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthener
and body builder for old folks because
it creates a good healthy appetite,
strengthens digestion, enriches the
blood, improves circulation and in this
natural manner builds up, strengthens
and inyigorates feeble, rundown, nerv-
