Proper Furniture
for the Children
Prepared by Childreu's Bureau. U. s.
Department Of Labor

Toe many homes, ever those where
there is no lack of means for the nee
essary margin of choice, are furnished
without apparent regard for the needs
or rights of children, and In these 1t is
hardly possible for a child to find a
place to play or use his Own things
without having to be continually
warned against. breaking or harming
something. It is plainly not just to any
child to surround him with furnishings
designed entirely to accommodate
grOwn-up people and ask him to re-
spect them, unless there is somewhere
Il place in which he has equal rights,
and where the grOwn-ups must pay
equal respect to his possessions. For
this reason there should always be
some room, or at least a corner Of the
family living room, where the children
may keep their own things and use
them in comfort.
The ideal rooms for children contain
only such furniture as they need for
comfort or convenience, and this will
be simple and easily kept clean. Wash
able painted walls, bare hardwood or
painted floors, simple curtains and
painted furniture are suitable. If wall
paper is used It should be inexpensive,
so that it can be frequently renewed.
All the holdings, door panels, window
and door screens should be made with
plain painted surfaces so that they can
be readily cleaned.
Only the llghtest curtains should be
used, and they should not cover the
windows, save when necessary to shut
out the hot sun. The chairs, tables,
beds, shelves, bookcases and all other
necessary articles of furniture should
be small and low, so that the children
may find them comfortable and con-
veHient. The continual effort to use
tables and chairs which are too high,
to get things that are out of reach
and to be under the necessity of trying
to adapt the strength, size and skill of
children to the furniture of grown per-
sons results in no little irritation,
some Of which might be easily re-
lieved. The washbOwl In the bathroom

Waste Of Mothers Lives and
Health Altogether Unnecessary
Prepared By Children. Bureau. U. s. Department, Of Labor

More women fifteen to forty-hve
years Of age die from conditions con-
nected with childbirth than from any
disease except tuberculosis. Some 49,
600 mothers lives are sacrificed yearly
to ignorance and improper care. In
connection with Baby Week, the Chill
dren's bureau calls special attention to
these facts. for three reasons:
1. The life and health Of the mother
are essential to the health and we'll
being Of her children.
2. The majority Of these mothers
lives could be saved.
3. The number Of deaths among
mothers is merely a rough index Of
unmeasured preventable illness and
suffering.
Just how adequate care for mothers
Is to be assured depends, Of course, on
local conditions, but DR.. Grace l..

reau, whose special report on Ma

quires special skin and training.
Many people do not seem to under
stand that in any case complications
may arise which can be met safely by
prompt and skillful scientific care, but
which at the hands of an unskilled at
tendant will cost the life Of mother or
child or both.
Doctor Meigs admits the difficulties
Of making accessible to every mother
in the United States these essentials
Of maternity care, but she says /:
"When women and their husbands are
convinced of the need Of such care,
and when women demand 1t, physi-
clans will furnish It; medical colleges
will provide better training for physi-
clans and communities, rural and ur-
ban, will see to It that mothers are
properly protected"
The difficulties are perhaps greatest
in rural districts. The Children's bu-
reau has had letters from mothers who
are 10. 25, 30 and ever 60 miles from
a physician, and for whom any trained
nursing has been utterly impossible.
Other countries have been at work on
this same problem, notably New Zea-
land and Canada. From their expert
nee and from the experience Of those
American cities in which special ma
ternity work is being developed, Doc
tor Melgs has drawn up the following
suggestions for a unit of service TO
meet the needs of mothers In rural
districts:
The unit would provide a center for
n rural nursing service with visiting
nurses especially trained to recognize
dangerous symptoms In expectant
mothers. At such a center mothers
would be able to obtain information as
to TIE proper care of themselves and
of their babies. If a suitable general
hospital is too remote for use, the
county center should include a cot
tHge hospital for difficult maternity
cases and for the care of normal
cases when it is convenient for the
mother to leave her home for confine-
ment. In general, skilled attendance
should be Obtainable by every woman
in the county.
Little has been done as yet to show
women that much of the waste of
mothers lives and health is ~unneces-
sary. Even less has been undertaken
by communities to provide protection
for motherhood. Many communities
which have studied their typhoid and
tuberculosis death rates and have I'M
dertaken costly measures to reduce
them have been needless of the death
rates among mothers. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that since 1900 the
typhoid rate for the country as a
whole has been cut in half, and the
rate from tuberculosis has been mark
edly reduced, while the death rate
from maternal causes has shown no
demOnstrable decrease. But maternal
deaths are largely preventable, and
Baby Week should mark the beginning
81 definite work for their prevention.

Mortality may be had free upon re-

Gently, believes that the first essen
tfal everywhere Is a better understand
ing of what mothers need.
Few women seem to realize, for ex-
ample, that a mother needs special
care before the baby comes. And yet
the principles of personal hygiene
which have been worked out by mod
ern science are of the utmost import
ance in preventing complications for
the mother and illness or weakness for
her baby. Further, the expectant
mother should be under the super
vision of a physician, and she should
have certain periodic examinations by
which any symptoms of complications
may be discovered and treated while
they are still comfortable.
And the mother needs skilled at
tendance when her baby is born. Doc
tor Meigs emphasizes the fact that a
difficult maternity case is one of the
gravest surgical emergencies and re-

be well oiled, kept in good condition
Just as the automobile, steam engine or

his own machinery more than that Of
his horse or his engine2 Yet most peo-

the system at least once a week is to
practice preventive measures. You will

BOSCHEE'S GERMAN
SYRUP
A Valued Household Remedy for
Over Half a Century.

In our climate, with its sudden
changes Of temperature, rain, wind and
sunshine often intermlngled in a single
day, it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, many
deaths resulting from this cause. A
bottle Of Boschee's German Syrup kept
in the house, and a few doses taken In
time, will possibly prevent a severe ill
ness, a Doctors bill, and perhaps death.
For fifty years this has been a very
successful remedy for coughs, colds,
throat or lung troubles. 1t induces a
good nights sleep with easy expec-
toration in the morning. For sale by
druggists in all parts of the civilized

After the baby's high chair has been
