What We Owe the Babies

what are our responsibilities to
The babiesl What does society owe
them1 A writer in the October
Good Housekeeping, Olivia H. Dun
bar, esseys to answer. To quote:
1T would be hard, nowadays, to
find an intelligent person who would
deny not only that every baby that
is born has an imperative right to
the essentials of life-pure milk,
pure air, warmth, clothing, and so
or-but that it is the business Of
every community to supply these
essentials when they are lacking.
First, as to the mothers them
selves. Now, women who are oblig-
ed to labor, or who are victims of
extreme poverty, can do little for
their unborn babies. But we all
know that more fortunate women
fall short of their obligation like
wise. The welfare of the mother
during the prenatal period is SO
bound up with that of the child that
through sheer unselfshness she is
likely to neglect or harm herself
And this is only one of a group of
conspicuous errors to which most
mothers that we know are probably
subject.
More specifically, very few ex-
pectant mothers take enough out
door exercise. Just as the laboring
woman is very sure to exercise too
much, so the protected woman is
too much afraid of exercise. and
neither of them, from the point of
view Of health, spends anything like
sufficient time outdoors.
Needless anxieties are another
common mistake, particularly the
mothers anxiety lest she mark"
her child. Physicians are unani-
nous in CHASING all reported in
stances of this phenomenon as old
wives tales. They assert that so far
as is known, there is no connection
between the mother and the unborn
child by which nervous impressions
can be conveyed. However, fear is
al emotion detrimental to the we'll
being Of the mother herself, and by
surrendering to it, she thus indi-
rectly affects the condition of her
baby"

disorganized. What with no thea
tiers, no movies, no Red Cross
classes meeting, no schools, and no

worry, and nurse the sick. Every
one who is not sick is doing more
or less nursing. The young wom-

Tragic Deaths.
The diplomatic corps has suffered
from this epidemic quite as much as
any other circle. The first shock
society had was at the sudden death
of Col. Angus Macintosh, military
attache OF the British embassy,
whose marriage to Lady Maud Cav
endish, daughter Of the duke OF Dew
onshire, governor general Of Canada,
took place a little more than year
ago. He died in Walter Reed hos
pital. Lady Maude was unable to
come to him because of the tender
age OF their tiny daughter, who was
born less than three weeks ago in
the executive mansion of Canada, at
Ottawa, where she has been for
several months. The duchess OF
Devonshire came, however, and was
with her son-in-law when he died.
The next one was the picturesque
little Mrs. Kee, the wife of the
Chinese minister, only p years old.
and the daughter Of former SPECIAL
ambassador from China to this
country. She left two little children,
onela year old and the other z, both
born in the legation here. The min
lister will take her remains and the
children back to China. The Haitien
minister, Mr.. Menos, whose wife is
a former Baltimore girl, died on
Monday, and the military attache OF
the japanese embassy died on Tues
day. The son of the Dominican
minister also died on Tuesday.
One of the most tragic OF the re-
suits of the disease was the DEAN
Of Miss Bessie Edwards, only child
Of General Clarence Edwards, U. ).
A.. who has been in France since we
first entered the war. She was with
her mother in Washington during
