High Baby Death Rate SholOs
Need of Vigorous Education
Campaign IN South Bend

is also eager that the abnormally high
baby death rate and its causes be
placed before the public.
Our foreign citizens" said Miss
Bailey want and need TO be Ameri-
canized. They are eager 10 be taught
that which will enable them to over
come conditions which make them in
ferior to Us. This being true, it is our
fault if they remain in ignorance.
Much of the disease among chill
dren is due TO bad housing conditions.
The small houses are crowded and
poorly ventilated. Many Of them are
located in alleys near barns which is
extremely bad. Many of the people
have not yet learned to screen their
houses to protect their babies from
the flies. Some have not learned 10
keep their dOOryards clean.
Learn How to Keep Milk.
They are gradually learning how
TO keep the milk properly and how
TO take care of the milk bottles, but
more education is needed along these
lines. Some keep their houses open
all right in day time but close them
tightly at night They keep we'll
babies out of doors pretty we'll now,
but the minute a baby gets sick it is
whisked into the house and doors and
windows closed which, of course
means death for the baby in many
cases.
I'm the matter of dressing the chill
dren, lack of understanding is also
shown. Instead of keeping the little
feet warm and the head cool, the
child is permitted TO go barefoot
while his head is tied up in a hood.
After the baby gets older, it is fire.
Guently poorly fed. The mother seems
TO think that after it passes the milk

more than u years, has returned TO
claim the large Laporte inheritance,
and the circuit court Of that county

was granted the annuity, although the
disposition of the property will not
take place until 1881, according 20

became estranged from his father a
number of years ago and left home.
, His father made a will providing that
Buck should have an annuity if he re-
turned prior to Sept /, 1881 While
| in Chicago last year Buck heard that
his father was dead and he returned
to Laporte but disappeared there
shortly.
