INFANTlLE PARALYSIS.

And one word to communities where
infantile paralysis has been epidemic:
Mothers should be urged to leave the
baby at home during Baby Week. Any
feature of the campaign involving the
bringing together Of numbers of babies
must OF course be omitted, but such
features are not essential to the in
terest and success Of a campaign. And
Baby Week will afford an excellent OPP
portunity for giving information as to
the proper physical training of children
with paralyzed muscles"
The children's bureau has bulletin
of suggestions for Baby Week cam
paigns which may be had upon request
and 1t is now preparing a revised edi-
ton describing the interesting new
features reported from the 1916 cam
paigns.

BABY WEEK TOBE
OBSERVED AGAIN
Every State in the Union
Took Part in the Observ-
ance Last Year-Chil-
dren's ureau Issues
Statement.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Nineteen six
teen was Baby Year. That was settled
once for all by the two thousand and
more communities scattered over every
state in the union which observed the
first nationwide Baby Week. Forty
seven OF the so cities with more than
100000 population. and 700 villages and
rural communities with less than $500
population had Baby Weeks.
The 1917 Baby Week bids fair to he
an even bigger. more worth while ceo-
bration than last years, but 1916 Will
keep the distinction Of being the year
when each communities provision for
the welfare Of its babies was generally
recognized as a serious civic RESPONSE
bility.
THE 1917 BABY WEEK.
The children's bureau at Washing
ton has already received numerous in
quiries concerning the 1917 Baby Week,
and the bureau is making the follow
ing suggestions:
Have your Baby Week from the first
to the sixth of May, if possible. This
date has been agreed upon by the bu-
reau and the General Federation Of
Women's clubs as the time best adapt
ed to the varying conditions of differ
ent states.
Remember the older babies AS one
woman stated it:
"It requires only IL months for
baby to become one year old and
no longer subject to the hazards Of
Infant mortality" but there are
still many risks for him to encoun-
ter; he is still absolutely helpless,
although increasingly charming,
and his parents are as eager to
keep him well and happy. as desir-
GUS of sound advice, as they were
last year. Open out the 1917 Baby
Week to include all children still
at home with their Mothers
Remember the mothers. Well-cared
for. healthy mothers are necessary for
the health and happiness of their babies
Find out what your community is doing
to ensure to every mother skilled adj
vice and adequate care before her baby
is born and during her confinement
and give the Importance of protecting
the mother a prominent place in the
educational work Of the campaign.
