BABIES DIE FASTER

Mortality Is Very High When

REPORT ON L. S. INQUIRY

WAsHrNGroN. Feb. e.--In its hrst 70.
port on infant mortality the children's
bureau of the Department Of Labor
says II found that deaths OF babies m
vestigated were in inverse proportion
TO the earnings OF their fathers; that
babies whose fathers earned less than
$40 week died at the rate Of 2j6 PER
thousand and those whose fathers
earned s2j or moro q weel, died at the
rate OF 81 per thousand
The report by the bureau is the first
in an extensive inquiry into this sub
ject. The bureau finds that the death
rate OF babies varied in different parts
of the same city. In the poorer section.
where sanitary conditions were worst.
the rate was 271 per thousand babies.

There are about $500. 900 people in the

The number of women who have

therefore appears that the number Of

Artificial Feeding.

The report also shows that artificialiv
fed babies die at much more rapid
rate than naturally nourished babies
II says:
I'm the earliest months Of tho baby's
life exclusive breast feeding appears to
be the only safe method. Only 46.6
babies per thousand died under one year
Of age when breast fed for at least three
months, as against 1853 per thousand
when fed on artificial food up to the
age OF three months.
Where mothers were employed
large part OF the time in heavy work
babies died at much more rapid
rate. Tn one group OF nineteen moth
ers whose babies all died, fifteen had
been keeping dodgers, an arduous oc-
cupation among the foreign women,
where the wife without extra charge
often washes and irons for the dodgers
and buys and prepares their food.
The city bears it's share OF tho rc-
sponsiblity for infant deaths. high
rate of infant deaths was found in coin
cidence with neglected streets and un-
sanitary housing. In houses where

WILL KEEP ON GROWING

AS immigration pressed in on the
western states the great grazing
ranges have had to be given over to
the growing of farm products, and
theimmense herds of cattle that once
roamed so freely over the vast prai-
ries have practically disappeared.
Free range is thing of the past, and
will never come again in this coun-
try, because the small farmer needs
the ground over which cattle once
fed.
Cattle raising is being rapidly re-
duced to the small herds owned by
the man who is also a tiller of the
soil. To keep his cattle he must
provide forage, which must be har-
vested and stored against the Ion
winters when the cattle cannot find
feed out of doors. Cattle produc-
ton is now a much costlier PROPOSE
ton than 1t was when the owner
could turn his thousands on TO free
range and leave them to rustic for
their food, paying no attention to
them, except twice year when they
were rounded up for branding, or for

Now, cattle, very generally, have
to be housed during inclement
weather, men must be provided to
