and proteins so that the composition
of the milk is approximately the same
as mothers milk. Modification is not
a mysterious, intricate performance,
but simple affair of addition, and
subtraction by dilution. Of course, in
a camp of this kind, removed from
the source of supplies of milk, the
problem is complicated by the diff
culties in transporting, handling, tenn
perature regulation, etc. And there is,
under the present local circumstances,
some excuse for the use of prepared
foods. However, cows milk can be
boiled, probably it all should be, be-
fore it is fed to the child, and boiling
sterilizes it so that boiled milk is clean
milk.
Of the other deaths there were 1868
from tuberculosis. The large number
of deaths from this cause is due 10
the fact that for years Arizona has
been a promised land for tuberculous
patients, and most of them come too
late. People back in the effete east
seem to have an idea that all one has
to do is to "go to Arizona" and they
will become healed. How in the name
of common sense a climate will per-
form a miracle is beyond most of us
yet they seem to think it easy. Usually
the story runs about as follows: Had
bad cold for long time, and devel-
oped bronchitis, spent all my money
with those doctors back east and final
ly one Of them told me to come out
here and get job and would be all
right" And when he comes it is a
ten to one shot he will never work
again, and he is lucky if he hasn't a
wife and family along. There should
be a systematic campaign carried on
in the east, definite propaganda, ad-
vising folks with weak lungs" to
come early and bring enough money
to pay expenses or not come at all; at
any rate, not wait until it is too late
and come out here to die.
Influenza accounted for 511 deaths
and pneumonia led the death list with
1887. This was due, of course, to the
epidemic of influenza that swept over
the country, and it's most frequent fa-
tai complication, pneumonia. Pneu-
monia in this country seems to be
extremely fatal, and people should use
extra precaution in dealing with colds
or any respiratory affection that
might develop into pneumonia.
Analysis of these figures show pret-
ty definitely the crying need of an
educational campaign against prevent
able diseases, and it is only by educa-
ton that the death rate can be low
cred.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache. Malaria, ChiIIs, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: II am a user
Of Thedford's Black-I3raught; in fact,
It was one Of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when /
was child. When any of us child
rem complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave US
q dose of Black-D Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles Of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it,
for 1t certainly has saved US lots Of
doctor bills. Just dose of Black
Draught when not so well saves q
lot of days in bed.'
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat
ment Of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys Is proof Of its merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree

ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.,
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been

High Mortality Of Infants
Could Be Reduced With Care;
Health Education is Needed

The Arizona State Board of Health
has just issued the annual report for
the year ending December 81, 1918,
and it shows that there were 6607
deaths in the state during the year
1918. A perusal of the figures con-
tanned in it causes one to view with
alarm the appalling number of deaths
from 'preventable causes"
The infant mortality comprises the
second largest single item-about 27
per cent of the total number of deaths
were children below the age of IA, a
total of 1905. Of this number 1881
died under the age of one year--and
Of these 434 died of diarrhoeal disease,
probably go per cent of which deaths
were preventable, and the infants
would not have been ill or could have
been cured had the mother been
trained for motherhood. Because of
the ignorance on the part of the moth
er these children pay the penalty.
Motherhood does not bring to the
young mother, or the old mother, an
instructive knowledge of how to care
for and feed the baby. Many mothers
follow the suggestions of highly ad-
vertised baby foods which are placed
on the market with full Instructions
as to the care of the infant without re-
gard to the individual needs. 1t is
just as absurd to think baby food"
will fit every baby's needs as it is to
think patent medicine" will benefit
all cases that have the symptoms out
lined on the pretty package.
Then, too, there are many sug-
gestions from the good-hearted "old
ladies who live next door"-they are.
as a rule, sincere in their object of
helping the young mother-many OF
them are mothers themselves and
reared their children, and at least
some of them, without any regard to
the latter-day knowledge of what an
infant needs Which reminds us OF
the story of the old lady who, upon
being told by visiting nurse what
she should do for the child. said with
some heat, "You can't tell me how to
raise babies-I ought to know by now; !;
l have had seven children and buried
five of them"
Another evil that is a productive
cause of diarrhoel disease in infants is
the failure Of mothers to use cows
milk when an artificial food is neces-
sary Primarily, of course, it is best
for the mother to nurse the babe if II
is at all possible, and next best is
cows milk properly modified, and this
is the only food that should be given
an infant.
By modification" is meant the addi-
ton of sugar and the reduction of fats

Vanity VS..
Sanity is
The Issue

Two defects in our attitude and ac-

emphasized in intelligent comment
One is laxity in production; the other
is extravaganza in consumption. The
first betrays itself in selfish inclina-
ton to curtail both the time and the
where, headed by Woodrow Wilson on
this side and Lloyd George on the
other side, have stressed the vital
after-war need of production. 1t is the
all-essential factor-the existence or
the absence of commodities.
Second only to that requirement
comes the manner of our use of
things. The first factor-production-
applies to all of us; there is little al
tentative for us between sufficiency
and dearth. The second allows of much
judgment by individual or family, in
the choice among commodities, in
amounts, qualities, etc. A right econ

for everybody; prevailing extrava-
gance means only sharpening the edge
OF any difficulties in the supply and
demand equation.
