ONE year from the day this
country entered into war
April 6, l9l8-the United
States Government, through the
Children's Bureau of the Depart.
ment of Labor, will begin a great
drive to save the lives of 100000
babies. Too many babies die in
this country every year. In New
Zealand, where infant welfare
work has attained a high degree
of efficiency, only one baby in 20
dies. In the United States the
number is more than twice as
great.
Many of these deaths are due
to preventable causes, improper
food and clothing and failure to
safeguard the infant from con-
tagion or to recognize the symp-
toms of disease in time. To
remedy this condition nation
wide child welfare compaign is
to be undertaken and the CO.
operation of doctors, nurses,
women's clubs, churches, schools
and newspapers in all parts of
the country has been pledged to
the government.
