INvENTORYING BABY STOCK.
Taking parts in the arrangements for
local celebration of Baby Week has
put an irritating question mark in the
mlnds of many Wisconsin people.
Learning that New Zealand has cut
low infant death rate in two and i'm
medlately saved the lives and health of
many hundreds of babies, Wisconsin
people have been impelled to ask them
selves and one another what could we
DO to make conditions better for our
babies. If New York with it's difficult
house and ignorant n-American
Immigrant problems could reduce its
infant death rate 80 per cent in five
years perhaps we ought to take stock,
also, and action, if action is demanded,
That is big thing to have accom-
pllshed If it never goes any further
But 1t is going further. Already
citizens of Fond du l. &C and Wausau
have sent to this bureau fer assistance
in studying and Interpreting the facts
contained in the file of death certificates
in the office of the local health depart
ments. More will follow just as surely
as day follows night. Death certifi-
Gates are taking on new appearance.
No longer are they mere chronicle of
misery, suffering and death. They
contain knowledge that saves life. Like
losses in business, loss of life properly
studied may point the way to success.
The study of the infant mortality
problem of Wisconsin, so far as it has
proceeded, indicates that we have a
different problem in many respects
than have the larger cities which led off
in the movement to save baby lives.
We find, for example, in many cities
that more babies die in fall and winter
months than in hot summer weather.
Indeed, deaths and births in Wisconsin
fall together, The months WHICH have
a high number of births have a high
number of deaths and here we shall
probably find the crux of the whole
matter.
DR.. Dorothy Reed Mendehal1 of
Madison has perhaps been the in
vestigatOr most vigorous and Outspoken
in setting forth the fact that too many
babies die during or shortly after birth.
She holds that these babies haven't had
q fair chance, that they been blighted
by conditions affecting the mother and
by improper and insufficient care dur
ing birth.
The loss of babies in the homes Of
poor industrial city people who have
such Il struggle against poverty as to-
require prospective mothers to work in
factories almost to the day of confine-
ment is no new thing. But that SINH
Ian losses occur in prosperous WiscOn
sin cities and rural communities that
have NO industrial women problem is
startling and more significant than
many have realized. The further the
study is pushed as to why these women
and their babies should die in so great
1 proportion, the clearer becomes the
act that ignorance concerning the care
If mothers and babies is too common
