ADVOCATES MILK
 INSTRUMENTATION
Dr. Snyder Opposed to Use of Baby
 "Pacifiers"

That many diseases that can be avoided attack the young baby in the first two years of it's life. is the opin- ion of pr. J. Ross Snyder. local baby specialist.
 Birmingham should require the dairymen to pasteurize their milk" says pr. snyder. Tt does no good to give the baby clean drinking water if he is allowed to have milk that is filled with germs and is likely to en- danger it's life.
 Many of the diseases that cause the death of the young baby have been traced by physicians and found that the germ originated in the impure milk bottle.
 "The baby pacifier is another form of evil and few parents know that the pacifier Is likely to cause serious harm 10 their babies. The pacifier is breed ing place for germs Even if the mother is careful and boils the paci- fer in hot water every two or three hours. A fly may light upon the paci- fer immediately afterwards and the germs that all flying insects are in- fected with will be transferred to the child's mouth. The continual sucking of the pacffier too has been known to result in deforming the shape of a baby's mouth.
 Too great care cannot be taken by the mother in watching the young baby. The crawling baby especially should be watched. Babies at this age have a habit of putting things into their mouths. Foreign objects in chiid's stomach may result instantly in a case of serious sickness. Again, 1t may not cause trouble until the child is grown. But it will show up sooner or later and more than likely Will result in sickness where a dan- gerous operation is necessary.
