Child Weifare" Friday Afternoon.
Talk Proves Of Decided Interest
and Great Value
DR.. Leverett Dale Bristol. commits
sioner of the State Department Of
Health. addressed about IS members
and guests of Current Events Club at
the home Of Mrs. .. W. Adams, SO
Green street. Friday afternoon. DR..
Bristol chose as his subject Child
Welfare"
Cfildren'5 year. from April 6. 1918.
TO April 8. 1919. was set aside by the
United States government as 4 year
for research and progress in child
welfare. This country was worried,
through the experiences of England.
that the death rate OF children was
much higher because of the war. A
definite campaign in England brought
about the lowering Of the mortality TO
the lowest known point.
The first object Of the years ct
fort was to cut down the mortality.
in fact to save 100000 lives under
FIVE years OF age. This meant. in
Maine, to $40 fewer deaths Of chill
dren Of that age.
Another object was to stimulate in
terest in the surroundings Of chit
dren.
It is too early to know the COM
plete results Of the years work.
The statistics in this State show
27SI more deaths from all causes in
all ages last year thap TN 1917.
/ In the last four months Of 1918
there we're e430 deaths of influenza
alone.
In 1913 there were 1850 deaths I'M
der Ave years. an increase OF 319
over 1871 deaths under five In 1917.
On the basis that one-sixth OF the
total number of deaths we're caused
by influenza, % lives were gained in
1918.
The reasons why good results are
not shown are that the health de-
partment here as we'll AZ in other
states had to devote so much time in
combating the epidemic. and again
that the figures are so complicated
by the hig. death rate from in
nuenza.
The Child Welfare Year is only the
start for great work. A conference
was held. bringing together repre-
sentatives from all parts Of the State.
As result Of this conference L State
Child Welfare Association was FORM
ed. and in several communities local
Child welfare Associations have been
formed and several clinics for In
Sfr,lCti0n ard cara NJ Chi1drAH have
been opened.
The Health Center movement has
sprung from this Child Welfare work

Washington, Jan. 26.-Farmers of the South were advised, in state ment issued by the department of agriculture today, that it would be wise to adjust cotton acreage this year so as to have available suffi- cient land to produce enough food and feed for their famileis and live stock.
 "If industrial conditions in all the cotton consuming countries do not reach normal and if the industry is not restored, the consumption of cot ton will be substantially less than pre- war average requirements" said the statement. "With practically con- plete restoration, cotton consumption may we'll be expected to equal the normal or pre-war times on account of the present shortage of cotton goods in various countries.
