THE FOURTH IN DURANT

"The day we celebrate" was not
celebrated so that you could notice
it in Durant Monday. A few flags
were flying to remind one that he was
in the United States but there was
little if anything to emphasize the
fact that it was the natal day of the
nation. 1t was a sane Fourth-very
sane and also tame, decidedly tame.
Of course the banks were closed,
they never need much excuse to take
a day off; most of the grocery stores
and some other places of business
were closed also, but the .drygoods
and clothing stores were all doing
business as usual.
For the small boy the old time
glories Of the Fourth are only a
tradition-to the grown-up a memory
to all thing of the past.

HOT MONTHS ARE HARDEST
ON THE HEALTH OF RARuro


ny LIZ. A. n. Lewis, State Health
Commissioner.
Now that the hot weather IL upor
us. there is increasing danger n
oaby's health. According to figures
complied by the Vital Statistics bu.
reau OF the State Health Department
the infant mortality rate is "a per
i,oOO living births. This is about
the average for the western states
but is much lower than the east and
south. ''">'
But Oklahoma's rate is entirely too
nigh. Spokane, Washington, has a
rate of only A per 1000. There Is
no reason why We should not also
nave as low rate. Here are the ex-
act figures as they now are: Only
. per cent of the states population
Is under one year old, but the per-
centage of deaths is It's. That is, to
every 100 persons in the state, there
are but babies, while the death rate
for these babies under one-year- old.
is nearly 1S ont of every hundred.
Influenza and pneumonia took a
large toll but premature birth still
heads the list in the causes of in
fant mortality. Here is the way
causes rank: Premature birth 465; in
fluenza and pneumonia 4O3;. Diarrhea
and Enterits 1928; Congenital Malfor-
nation 140; Whooping cough As;
other causes peculiar to early infan-
cy, 305.
Every year the most sickness and
greatest number of deaths occur in
the midsummer and early-autumn
months. It therefore behooves every
mother to be particularly careful Of
the baby's diet and care during the
hot weather.
