WILL THEY TAKE THE LIE

Miss Julia Lathrop, at the head of
the United States children's bureau
at Washington-the only woman bu-
reau chief in our governments
doing one of the greatest pieces of
work in this country. She has under
way many special Investigations on
child life, but the most conspicuous
one, perhaps, is her inquiries into the
child death rate in America.
She approached this vital, heart
interest question from the industrial,
economic and hygienic aspects, and
she has already progressed far
enough to lead to the conclusion that
the death rate is far too high, that
better conditions of living reflect
most favorably in the infant mortal
ity rate, and that if children are well
born and well cared for, as Ameri-
can children should be and have a
right to be, the death rate among
them will be negligible. -
The children's bureau made two
exhaustive field Investigations, one
in Johnstown, Pa, a typical coal
mining and steel producing COM
munity, and the other in Montclair,
N. j., a typical residential suburb,
where the death rate was already
near the average, but unsatisfactory
to the local health authorities.
In residential ward in Johnstown
the death rate was found to be so per
1000, while in the poorer and more
congested localities the death rate
reached 271 per 1000. In the latter

locality underpaid fathers, overwork-
ed and ignorant mothers, and the
poorest living conditions went hand
in hand with the high death rate.
Likewise in Montclair, far more ia
vorable community for the average
child, the death rate was SO per 1000
under the best living conditions. and
1870 in the tenement section.
Will the authorities and especially
the rich exploiters of labor take the
lesson to heart? We hope so, but we
fear not. However, it is interesting
to note that a committee has been
appointed by the Chamber of Com
merce of Johnstown to try to solve
the problem of infant mortality along
the lines indicated by the investigat-
ors of the children's bureau. ~..

How we'll do we all remember as
how our dads told us to sprinkle salt
on a rabbits tail and then he could
be easily caught, and how we wasted
the salt
But whoever dreamed that this
ancient joke was SO close to the
scientific trail as developed and per-
fected by William Wills OF Austin,
who has demonstrated on rabbits at
Sam Carriers ranch that salt, prop
erly administered, will start a death
dealing epidemic among the rabbits
which is far in advance of the tail
prescription peddled by our fore
fathers.
Wills took two dozen choice, Sc
lected. well matured rabbits from
carriers alfalfa field. He deftly slit
the skins on their backs and inserted
two tablespoonful of salt along the
spinal cord. The slit was then sewed
up tight with sterilized silk thread
The rabbit is then turned loose. The

cries of peculiar nature which at

six thousand of their mates. which
were feeding on Carriers lower ranch.
They came pell nell to the rescue,
but were rapidly and fatally bitten by
the sailed ones.

II 10 Radically Wrong, and All on Ae.
count of the Last.
In the American Magazine Dr. Ar
thur X. Reynolds, former health com
missioner of Chicago, tells of the many
troubles that can make life misera BILE
and that come from feet that were
neglected In childhood Among other
things he says.
Children should go barefooted at ali
times while indoors and through the
summer. They should never wear any
FOOT covering at any time that In any
way dlstorts the toes or any part of
the foot or that interferes In any way
with its normal growth and develop
ment. The same may be said of adults
ANY reform In the shape OF shoes
must begin with the shoemaker's last.
Shoemakers do not seem TO be able to
get away from form and beauty In
shaping 1t. 1t is shaped largely by
guess and Is pointed and turned up ut
the toe. No normal foot Is SO shaped.
The only rational last Is made from
u plaster cast of the foot while bearing
weight. and the mold can be made only
or some seml-solh material that hard
ems when cool or dry. There Is little
hope Of getting nationally shaped
shoe until the wooden last Is totally
discarded 1t is safe to assert that
good looking and nondeformlng shoes
can be made without it"
