BABY'S HEALTH by Frank Willis Barnett

One out of every seven babies born
year old
The seventh baby dies whether 1t be
the child of rich or poor. 1t is not nee
essarily the slum baby but the cud-
dlesome healthy babies aired in the
park by white-capped nurses; lively
dancing babies tumbling on the small
town lawn; country babies under the
widest and freshest of country skies.
Is your community fit place for a
baby to live? Are you sure? Your baby
may be swathed in fine linen but Its
safety Is measured by the health of the
poor waif clothed in rags. The safety
Of the children Of both rich and poor
is measured by the condition of health
of the whole community.
Face these appalling facts: One hun
dred and forty babies out of every
thousand born in America do not live
to see their first birthday.
Fifty per cent of these deaths are
from preventable causes. More than
1000 babies are wantonly sacrificed
each year.
Commissioner John r. Hornady takes
up his versatile editorial pen and gives

ham Health News. published by the
denartnent of public health conser-
