LITTLE CHILDREN
DEPRIVED OF MILK
Babies Directly Affected BY De
creased Sales. Bureau Makes
Statement

That babies and little children are
directly affected by the decreased
sales of milk reported by dealers in
American cities is illustrated by find
ings for Baltimore made public today
10y the Childrens Bureau of the u. 5.
Department of Labor.
OF 756 Baltimore children between
and years of aga, only % per cent.
are now having fresh milk to drink as
against go per cent. a year ago. And
only 20 or less than per cent. of
the children studied, are having as
much as three cups day With the
babies under the Children's Bureau
ious Apparently their needs are
more generally understood than the
needs of the child over ,
The number of families in this
group who are buying no fresh milk
at all has risen from 81 year ago to
107, or % per cent of those from
whom information was secured, and
these l07 families include one-fourth
of all the children under Z. At the
same time. the total daily purchase Of
canned milk by families studied has
increased from 1855 cans to 81 cans.
Most serious according to the Chill
dren's Bureau is the general substi-
tuition in the children's diet of tea and
coffee or the SIS children who are
not drinking milk, "a per cent. have
definitely substituted tea and coffee,
and "a per cent. are sharing the fam
lily diet" which may or may not in
clude tea or coffee. or milk in other
foods
While the group of families studied
is small. the Bureau offers the find
ings as fairly representative since
the information was secured and
transmitted TO the Children's Bureau
by school nurses of the Baltimore De-
partment Of Health and by nurses of
the Instructive Visiting Nurse Asso-
citation and the Babies Milk Fund of
Baltimore from all families they visit
ed during certain sport period. pro-
vided Cd there were at least two chill
dren under years OF age: CD the
family had been in Baltimore at least
a year; 80 no tubercular patient was
living. in the family.
Various incomes are reported but
the changes in the amount of milk
purchased are not unlike in the diff
ferent earnings groups. Some moth
ers seem to realize that milk must be
provided for their children at what
ever sacrifice; others who can better
afford to buy milk do not understand
its Importance and let their children
go without it. The foreign born moth

CORRESPONDENT HAS
QUERY FOR DUVALL.
"A Brooklyn Taxpayer" Tells OF
Confidential Chat With Saloon
keeper On Bill Theft.

Discussing Senator Frank NJ. Du-
Wallis statement a few days after the
close of the Legislature to the effect
that the Green-Linthicum liquor Ii
censing bill designed to improve con-
ditions in the Brooklyn-CuTtis Bay
section of Anne Arundel county was
not passed by the Senate because it
had ben stolen, a correspondent of the
Baltimore News in yesterdays edition
claims to have been told ahead of time
that this important measure would be
stolen.
Under the caption "A question for
Sen. Duvalr the correspondent writes
the News as follows:
ITO the Editor of the News:
Il saw in your paper a statement
made by Senator Duvall regarding
the bills placing restrictions on the
saloons in the Fifth district of Anne
Arundel county. | believe our Sena-
tor said that the bills were stolen
From a conversation that / had with
a SaloonkeepeT on the 1st of, April
the last day that the Legislature was
in session. l would infer that some
one knew that those bills would be
stolen. This saloonkeeper offered to
bet me 500 to So that these bills
would be stolen, and that Senator
Duvall would not allow them ITO ap-
pear in the Senate for the third read
ing. 1t is quite evident after reading
Senator Duvall's statement in your
paper that the bills were stolen, that
that saloonkeeper knew what he was
talking about. He also said that word
had come down the line two weeks
before that the saloonkeepers need
not worry, that those bills would
never pass the Senate. l would like

lOonkeeper knew so much and where

Don't Waste Seed.

The home gardener too often wastes
his seed by planting it too thickly.
Such vegetables as lettuce, mush-
melon. cucumber. kale, parsnip, veg
etable oyster and turnip require only
one-half ounce of seed in order to
plant row loo fet long; onion, rad
dish, spinach and carrot require one
ounce: string cd lima beans, one-half
to one pint: beets. two ounces cauli-
flower. one packet; egg plant one
third ounce cabbage, one-fourth
ounce.
If your garden measures more or
less, figure accordingly, but buy only
as much seed as is necesary-and buy
it early.
