Flies and Sick Babies

THE relation Of flies and filth
to sick babies has been proven to
be almost that of cause and
effect" says a recent bulletin of
the State Board of Health. Only
artificial feeding is as much a
cause Of paDy s.cnacsS as taca
and filth. AS authority for this
significant statement as concerns
the baby's health and the pres
ence of flies and filth in the home
the Board gives here an account
of a recent investigation con-
Quoted by the health department
in New York City for the pur-
pose of determining Just these re-
lations.
1t was desired to determine
whether the house fly is the
chief carrier OF diarrhea or
whether dirt in the home and
artificial feeding are more deadly
factors in this serious condition.
The cases investigated were
divided carefully into a tly-pro-
tected group and a fy-exposed
group. These groups were
made as similar as it was possible
to make them. The infants were
visited every five days by nurses.
The fly-exposed cases received
all the instruction given in child
hygiene work, but no special
emphasis was laid on eliminat-
ing the house fly. In the
protected group the greatest EN-
phasis was laid on the absolute
protection of tie baby as far as
possible from contact with flies.
For the infant in the cradle, in
the go-cart, on the bed and even
in the arms the constant use of
netting was insisted on. Over a
thousand yards of netting were
distributed among the protected
families.
AS a result it was found that
almost twice 40 as many in
fants were attacked by diarrhea
among fy-exposed as among the
Unprotected infants. Apart
from the influence of flies, it
was found that almost twice as
many infants were attacked by
diarrhea in dirty homes as in
clean homes. The most impor-
tant factor for child mortality,
however, was found to be arti-
fetal feeding. Nearly two and a
half (2.4) times as many infants
were attacked by diarrhea among
the articifcally fed as among the
breast-fed infants. The in
fIueunce of flies and dirt combin-
ed was found to be almost
exactly equal to that of arti-
fetal feeding, even in reasonably
good surroundings. Almost two
and a half ga times as many
Ay-exposed infants in dirty
homes were attacked by
diarrhea as were Unprotected
infants in clean homes. The
combination of dirt and artificial
feeding made life extremely diff
fcult for the infant. y

Although the high laced boot was
chic and becoming with the short
tailored skirt, and the soft gray and
tan feathers, the low shoe Is much
in demand. The old time Colonial

rite. These are equally modish in

door purposes. These come IN tan

any appropriate out-of door costume.
For those who favor the Aat.heeled,
broad-toed shoe, there are a number
of modish low shoes, on the Oxford
type, which may be appropriately
worn with the tailored suit or dress

Neckwear is particularly inter-
estlng this summer. The various
collars and jabots now modIsh offer
lImItless ways of changing or
frightening up frock or blouse.
Perhaps the very newest idea in
neckwear is the shoulder cape of
white, black, Java Brown, or other
favored shades of crepe Goorgette,
trimmed with bands of ermlne,
beaver, or moleskin. The short.
haired furs are preferred for these
capes. While these novelties are a
