Patriotism and Babies.

How the strength Of the nation is

munities have one to 5aken interest
in the conservation Of the youngest
citizens, are briefly reviewed in a rev
bulletin on Baby Week campaigns
which has just been issued by the
Children's Bureau Of the United States
Department Of Labor.
Approximately one in ten of all the
babies born in the United States dies
before completing twelve months of
life, and the Children's Bureau says:
1T was once thought that a high
infant death rate indicated a greater
degree of vigor in the survivors. Now
it is agreed that the conditions which
destroy SO many of the youngest lives
of the community must also result in
crippling and manning many others
and must react unfavorably upon the
entire community
