CAUSE OF HIGH
INFANT DEATH RATE
Heavy Mortality Here Attrib.
uted to Increase in Milk Cost
and Poor Sanitation

To learn why Philadelphia's infant
other city in the country barring one
and to remedy the fault is the task that
has been adopted with tremendous
energy by child welfare workers.
Some theorists answer the statistician's
figures showing 1876 babies dead last
year for every 1000 in Philadelphia
under one year of age with the state
nent Milk doubled in price last year (:
the poor could, not afford it. hence many
babies died from improper feeding
a general inquiry conducted by the
Child Federation showed that while. for
a short time the amount of milk pur-
chased was lessened by increased cost.
the consumption soon esum normal
figures. 1t did not show, however,
whether the poor had returned to their
use of milk or it had become more freely
used by those able to afford luxuries.
A recent investigation, however, eX-
tending over every section of the city
has resulted in files being placed in the
offices of the Child Federation. which
show not only the use being made of this
essential of infant diet but also the con-
dltions surrounding the lives of families
in every quarter.
John Ihlder. of the Child Federation.
and of the housing committee, said today
that while a decrease in the use of milk
may rave had a marked effect on rails
ing the death rate mons Philadelphia
children, the cause of the high mortality
is apparently the more general one. eS-
pressed broadly as the high cost of liv-
ing.
only a small percentage of wage
earners have enjoyed salary increases
said Mr.. lhlder. while all alike are suf-
fering from val prices.
our Investigations show that in the
poorer sections the salaries of a year ago
are being stretched over the greater de-
mands of today at the expense of crowd
ed housing conditions, poorer and insult
ficient food and inadequate sanitation.
Families are being herded together in
smaller space to save rental. Our in
vestigators nave learned that many are
taking in dodgers, to make room for
whom they are %crowding into space that
makes correct sanitation and cleanliness
impossible.
when this crowding takes place the
baby always suffers. Almost any corner
is sufficient for him, and with the poor
nourishment and inattention that grow
out of the overworked and underpaid
lives of his elders it is not surprising
that many little lives are being snltfed

Unit, Sends New Trench Paper to Mother Shortly
Before Death in Action

paraded through the streets. carrying red
flags and chanting the Marseillaise.
THE Dugout" is not to be oudone
in featuring this story and has
several sub heads on it.
One of these reads as follows:
Washington. n. c. Secretary of
War Baker issued the following state
ment in connection with the Porter case
to the correspondents at 2:30 this after
noon:
ut Is true Porter is a member Of the
Expeditionary Forces. Whether the
charges lodged against him are true I
do not know. although the meager in
formation that is drifting into this
place from the intelligence department
indicates hat the charge is getting more
serious as the time goes on.
This is, of course. only natural. |
have cabled General Pershing and Am
bassador Sharp for particulars. That is
all"
But it is not all. for under the title
"Red-Hot News is this: Rioters to-
night burned Collins and Pancoast Hall.
The Governor has called out the mill
tia"
To complete this story the paper
adds:
Amsterdam.-The Hamburg Zeitung,
the semiofficial organ of the German
War Office, publishes a long dispatch
tonight and cites the Porter case as
proof of the rumors of unrest among
the American troops in France"
Another bit of mockery is enacted
under the heading. Peace Terms Are
Named by Lloyd-Haupt."
Fourteen conditions are herewith
cited, among them being:
First. The only motor vehicle to be
allowed in the German empire to be the
one manufactured in Detroit. This
clause to become void in fifty years.
Second. That the national anthem of
the German empire be changed from
Hook the Kaiser" to We're the Sing
ing Twenty-third Boys"
Third. That Sanscrit take the place
of the dead language now stubbornly
employed in Germany.
Fourth. That Won Papen and Captain
Boy-Ed Immediately accept positions
on the staff of name of newspaper
leted by the censor.
Five. In order to remove Won Hin
denburg as a possible International
menace, he is to become, automatically
on the signing of this peace, vice presi-
dent of the United States.
Besides several other real funny
stories, the following poem is included.
The title is AN American Rhapsody"

The words from his throat came "a

william a. Purcell was a member of
the unit which was cited for bravery
several days ago. In one of the stories
in-the Exhaust he is jokingly brought up
for trial for monopolizing the Irish Tool
Company"
In speaking of this, the trench publ
cation says:
startling evidence of the methods
taken by the Irish Tool Monopoly and
it's subsidiaries to secure control of the
tool industry of this country was made
public here today at the second session
of the Federal inquiry by Attorney Gem
eral Casio.
The tin nutiyt pro- ccutor of pubic
rights justified his title as The Douglas
of the Twentieth Century when imme-
diately after the opening he called Will
liam A. Purcell, president of the Irish
Tool Monopoly. to the stand.
LAS Purcell took his. stan in the wit
ness box, which has in times past
been the temporary resting place of so
many other criminals, it became neces-
sary for Chief Justice Raft to rap for
order several times"
The story concerning the outrageous
doings" of Purcell continues to tell OF
his rise to fame from his position in the
West Philadelphia High School and
closes with the State resting its case.
Another humorous story is told under
glaring headlines. This story concerns
the daring of a member of the unit
who endeavors to raise a mustache. The
