Proper Furniture
for the Children
Prepared BY Childr-nis Bureau. U. s.
Department Of Labor

Too many homes, even 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 II IL
hardly possible for child to find n
place to play or use his own things
without having TO be continually
warned against breaking or harming
something. II Is plainly not just to any
child to surround him with furnishings
designed entirely to accommodate
grown-up people and ask him to re-
sDect them. unless there is somewhere
II place In which he has equal rights.
and where the grown-ups must pay
equal respect 10 his possessions. For
this reason there should always be
some room. or nt least 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 ns they need for
comfort or convenience. and this Will
be simple md easily kept clean. Wash.
able painted walls. bare hardwood or
painted floors. simple curtains md
painted furniture nrc suitable. If wall
pnpcr is used II should be inexpensive.

All the holdings. door panels. window
nnd door screens should bc made with
plnin 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. tnblcs,
beds. shelves, bookcases and NIL other
necessary articles OF furniture should
be small md low. NO that the children
may find them comfortable md con.

Ing OF what mothers need.
Few women seem to realize, for ex-
ample, that n 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
m6ther should be under the super.
vnion Of physician. and she should
have certain periodic examinations by
which any symptoms of complications
may be discovered and treated while
they nre still controllable.
And the mother needs skilled at.

The attorney general rendered an
opinion on the Horton liquor law to
Governor Gunter analyxing Its provi
sions and explaining It's scope and

the Reed amendment to the federal

Waste Of Mothers Lives and
Health Altogether Unnecessary
Prepared !, cAaas.. Bureau. U. $. D.p.u.... ., L.ses

More women fifteen to forty.five
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:
]. The life and health Of the mother
are essential to the health and we'll
being of her children.
=. The majority Of these mothers
lives could be saved.
3. The number of deaths among
I1others is merely n rough index of
unmeasured preventable illness and
suffering.
Just how adequate care for mothers
l, to be assured depends, of course, on
local conditions, but DIR. Grace L.
Melgs of the federal Children's bu.
reau, whose special report on Ma.
The state herald., 1917-04-27

Quires special skill 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 Melgs 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 physl-
clans; and communities. rural and ur-
ban, will see to 1t 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 IS. %. 80 and even 65 miles from
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
ence 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 unit of service to
meet the needs of mothers In rural
districts:
The unit would provide center for
n rural nursing service with visiting
nurses especially trained to recognize
dangerous symptoms in expectant
mothers. At such n center mothers
would be able to obtain Information as
to the proper care of themselves and
Of their babies. II suitable general
hospital is too remote for use, the
county center should include cot
tage hospital for difficult maternity
cases and for the care Of normal
cases when 1t 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 rs yet to show
women that much Of the waste Of
mothers lives and health is unneces-
snry. Even less has been undertaken
by communities to provide protection
for motherhood. Many communities
which have studied their typhoid and
tuberculosis death rites and have un-
dertaken costly measures to reduce
them have been needless Of the death
rates among mothers. It 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
demonstrnble decrease. But maternal
deaths are largely preventable. and
Baby Week should mark the beginning
Of definite work for their prevention.

Mortality may be Ind free upon re-

defense the Germans have been falling
back on. which is known as the Dro-
court -Queant switch to the Hindenburg
line.
Further south, British troops have
captured the remainder OF the village
Of Trescault and occupied the greater
part of Havrincourt wood, which

brai-St. Quentin road and canal.
The British also made progress In
the region southwest of Lens. the Ger.
man garrison of which town is daily
facing more critical situation.
