JUNE, OHTO'S BANNER
BABY-SAVING MONTH

Ohio's best baby-saving record to
a.>tte was marked up in June, the
State Department of Health announc-
ed Monday. In that month, the third
month of the "Children's Year." as
the nationwide campaign to reduce
infant mortality is called, 802 children
under five years of age died in the
state. This total is ATT less than the
average monthly death total of 1,279
in 1915, the year upon which quotas
for baby-saving are based. The June
saving exceeds by 101 the quota as
signed as the states monthly saving.
The health department cautioned
against too great self satisfaction over
this result, pointing out that June
babv deaths are normally the lowest
of the wear inasmuch as nneunoria
prevalence has dronped off and the
sunnmer rise in r"ortalitv due to in
testinal disorder has not vet started
The total saving for the first three
months If Children's Yeer-April.
Nav and Tnne-is 664. or 100 more
than half the three roonths' nuota of
1923 Deaths of babies in the three
months were as follows: April 1887,
Nav 1.114, June S02.
A table issued bv the health de-
partment giving June babv-saving
results bv counties. shows that Medina
county saved it's quota in that, month.
The county figures are as follows:
Deaths in June3, average deaths per
month in 1916, a; babies saved in

in 1918. 1.
| In all, 65 counties saved their
quotas in June. nine registered losses
as COMPARED with the average month
of 1916 and ID failed to save their
quotas but at the same time had no
loss. A conspicuous case of improve
ment was that in Mahoninp county
which lost three babies in May and
saved 26, or five more than its quota
in June, Cuvahoga county exceeded its
quota by 80 in June, Lucas by 13

War Orphans Adopted by Soldiers

being returned to their families.
War Orphans Adopted by Soldiers
The three hundredth French war
orphan has Just been adopted by men
of the American Expeditionary Forces.
Almost every branch of the United
States army in France has now taken
a little French girl or boy and has
contributed for it's support for one
year. Many of the little kiddies have
been rendered homeless through the
war. some have lost their fathers on
the battlefelds Of France, others have
been released from the hands of the
Germans after long years Of cruel
captivity. ~
Adopting French war orphans has
caused the greatest interest in Uncle
Sans army and navy. The record
number Of adoptions from one unit is
50 children, who were adopted in one
week by an Ohio regiment. Two COM
panies Of the same regiment each
adopted five kiddies, which is the high
water mark for company. An aero
squadron has taken five children and
others have taken four. Two balloon
sections came in during a recent week
and adopted eight.
| French laws dealing with adoption
are so rigid that actual adoption of
war orphans by the A. E. F. is prac-
tically impossible. At the termination
Of the war this may change, but it
| is apparent that France will need all
her children, and it is doubtful whether
they will ,be permitted to go to the
United States. e.

war orphans originated with th( Stars

The Red Cross wants to give rela-

whom letters have not been received

a prompt and full reply is of serious
moment to the happiness, peace OF
mind, and not infrequently to the
health of the relative. BY writing to
the Red Cross Bureau of Communica-

Gardens to Help Convalescent Soldiers
in France

When army medical men recon-
mend light gardening for conyalescent
soldiers, the American Red Cross I'M
mediately began to develop gardens
in connection with the American base
hospitals in France. 1t is nov oper-
ating some Is or 16 base hospital
gardens from 8 to rs acres and two
hospital farms each of 100 acres.
The gardens are worked almost en-
tirely by the convalescents, who are
finding that stiff joints, atrophied
muscles and shattered nerves are
greatly benefited by this moderate
exercise in the open air.
The vegetables grown, aside from
their monetary value, are particularly
desirable because they reach the
patients in perfectly fresh condition.
Not a dollar has been spent for
labor since the ground was plowed; in
fact many of the enlisted men and
even some of the nurses ask to be
allowed to work in the gardens.
The American Red Cross is helping
the Union des Families to enable deli
cate children to plant small vegetable
| gardens on the Notifications Of Paris.
It has given the society barracks
which serves as a shelter and rest
| room. ''' E.
Forty delicate French children pre-
disposed to tuberculosis have been
completely restored to health by treat
ment in the Edward L. Trudeau sani-
torium supported by the American
Red Cross. These children are now
being returned to their families.
