WANTS BABY MILK STATION
Dairy Inspector Bessie Recommends
One in Annual Report.
GREAT HELP TO THE INFANTS
Would Place Competent Nurse I'm
Charge, who wouId he Able to
Advise Mothers as TO the
Care of Their Children.

Dairy Inspector Claude F. Bessie in
his annual report TO the health commits
sioner recommends the establishment Of
a baby milk station. with a competent
nurse in charge, located in the south
east part OF the city
Mr.. Bessie says:
The death records show that large
percentage Of the deaths among infants
occur in the southeast section.
THE milk station should be place
where mothers win come with their
troubles and the nurse should be pre-
pared to know what to advise. II she
shows good judgment she will win the
confidence and friendship of the mother
and undoubtedly good results can be
obtained thereby.
The fact that sixty-five, or nearly
one-helf the deaths, under l year of age
lived less than one month after birth
shows beyond question of doubt that a
number of these would probably have
been saved had exrectant mothers had
the opportunity to visit and consult a
competent nurse who had gained the
confidence and friendship of others.'
Inspector Bessie believes the cleanli-
ness of milk sold in Omaha has caused
the continued decrease of infantile
mortality. Omaha held the record in
1913 for the United States for deaths OF
babies. and the death rate has been still
further reduced for 1914
