STATE QUOTAS OF BABIES TO BE
SAVED DURING CHILDREN'S
YEAR

Washington, February 1S-The Chill
dren's Bureau of the u S. Department
of Labor announced today the number
Of lives each Etate is asked to save
in the campaign to save 100000 babies
and young children during Children's
Year beginning April 6. Announce
ment of the purpose to wage such a
campaign was made some time ago by
the Children's Bureau and the Child
Welfare Department Of the Woman's
Committee of the Council Of National
Defense, and the response, which has
surpassed all expectations, indicates
that efforts to promote the health and
welfare of children are to be more
vigorous this year than ever before.
The saving of 100000 lives of chill
dren under fifteen in the country. II
is realized by all concerned that the
standards of child protection must not
be relaxed during war time, and the
United States is expected to profit by
the experience of other warning coun-
tries, where the importance of safe
guarding childhood is emphasized as
never before.
The campaign Is to save 100000
lives of bales and young children in
the United States during the second
year of the war is to be inaugurated
by National Weighing and Measur-
ing Test beginning April 6, the ami
versary of the declaration of war by
this country. In announcing the
quotas the Children's Bureau said:
SIN order that each State may fee
responsible for a definite number Of
lives to be saved, quotas have beer
assigned to the various States, the ap
portlonment being made on the basis
of the population under five according

Peppers

Plan the seeds of peppers in the
hotbed about six weeks or two months
before time to set them in the open
ground. They should be transplant
ed at least once and should not be set
in the open until the ground is thor
oughly warm. When grown In the
garden the large bull-nosed types
should be placed In rows feet apart
with the plants from Is to II inches
apart in the rows. Frequent shallow
cultivation should be given, and the
plants will continue to bear until frost
kills them.-U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.

KOhl-Rabi

The edible portion of the kohl-rabi
is the thickened stem. 1t is closely
related to cabbage and culiflower. II
should be started in the hotbed or
window bow and set in the open
ground about the time of the last
frost. The method of planting and the
cultivation is similar to that prac-
ticed for cabbage. 1t can be planted
in the open at the same time. Early
sowings are made, and if thinned to
4 to inches apart the plants will
soon grow to edible size under ia
vorable weather conditions. This
plant should receive much more con-
sideration than usually is given it. II

death rates in the different States
where death rates are known.
an about half the States of the
country, comprising nearly-one-third
the population, the registration of
deaths was nearly one-third the pop
ulation, the registration of deaths was
not sufficiently complete to warrant
their inclusion in the registration area
when the latest reports were publish
ed. The registration of births is SER
iously deficient in a still larger num-
Der of States. For that reason the ap-
portionment Of quotas Of infant lives
to be saved could not be made upon
the basis of the infant mortality rate,
which is based on the number of
deaths under one year and the num-
Der of recorded births. Thus the only
basis for the assignment Of quotas
uniformly applicable to all the States
is the population as shown by the Fed
eral census. AS the effort for the hun
bred thousand lives applies to the spe-
cially hazardous period of life under
five years of age, the quotas are cal
culated upon the basis of the popula-
ton under five.
"In making the apportionment on
this basis it was realized that a high
mark is thus set for States in which
the death rate among young children
is already low. On the other hand
the mark set may be low for some
States where the child death rate is
excessively high. 1t does not appear
to be possible to avoid some situa'
tons of this kind by any method Of
apportionment that could be devised
with the data now at hand. If the
registration of births and deaths were
complete in all the States, an appor
tionment of quotas of the 10000 live!
to be saved by the various State!
could be made upon different basis.
Plans for the celebration of Chill
dren's Year. of which the saving o
100000 lives is one feature, are bein,
developed by the Children's Bureau il
cooperation with the Child-Welfays
Department of the Woman's Commit
tee of the Council of National Defense
! The safeguarding and protection o

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications! as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There 10
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition Of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbing sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t Is entirely
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrh. which is
an infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
