FATAL FOR
EVERY SIXTH BABE.
Health Official Gives Advice
About Saving Lives OF
Y the Little Ones.

In cautioning mothers about the
care Of their babies during the hot
summer months, Director Ziegler, of
thag Philadelphia department of health
and charities, declares:
1if the same effort and expense
were mad by the government to save
the babies from summer complaint
that have been made to save cattle
from the foot-and.mouth disease, our
infant death rate would soon be mark.
edly decreased and the census Of po-
tentfal citizens increased in Ike pro-
portion.
years old who died In Philadelphia
last year died during the summer
months Of June, July. and August from
bowel trouble alone. 5sg
"Six thousand babies under two
years OF age died in Philadelphia last
year" said Doctor Ziegler. About
500 Of these deaths occurred In the
month of August. During the three
summer months, July, August and Sep
TENDER, 1918 died from bowel trou'
ble," he added.
Doctor Ziegler declares that the
mother is the best agency for saving
the life of a baby. He points out that
a poorly fed or sickly mother cannot
give birth to healthy baby and sue
cessfully nurse her offspring. He adj
vises the expectant mother to obtain
abundant rest and to spare himself
all excuses, especially avoiding I'M.
usual physical effort.
"If the mother loves her baby she
will nurse It," said Doctor ziegler.
babies thrive best on their natural
food-mother's milk. This is demon
strated by statistics showing that nine
bottIe.fed babies die to one breasted
baby"
Doctor Zlegler emphasizes the ne
cessity of keeping flies and mosqut=
toes as well as dogs and cats away
from the baby. He explains the need
Of feeding the baby regularly, giving
the youngster plenty Of pure water, an
essential necessity of the baby diet.
He also says that boiled water, prop.
erly cooled, is excellent for the baby;
In regard to the clothing Of the baby,
the doctor says it should be light,
loose, soft and clean. He also urges
that the baby should sleep alone,
about twenty hours day.
