Rusk COunty's Infant Mortality Rate
High
Rusk county has high infant NOR
tality rate The birth rate for March
1921, to December 80, 1920, to Deem
Der 30, 1921, inclusive, figures 3l-
births. The infant mortality rate COY,
ering this same period of time is sixty
deaths These figures prove TO us that
approximately one out OF every SIX Ill
fants born during this period OF ten
months have died before reaching the
age Of eight months This mortality
rate is too high and ] dare say it can
Desreduced if the mother is given the
necessary care The .expectant moth

early. and arrange for the best p0ssl-
ble care that she can receive. Help
full literature pertaining TO prenatal,
and infant care may be received by
writing or consulting with the county
nurse. Let us try to improve these
| figures in protest, by improving our
physical stamina and reduce the in
| FAINT mortality rate in Rusk county.
| III the cities the skilled advice and
help from physicians, nurses clinics
and health centers are available TO Il
constantly increasing degree. Our
problem today is to give help and adj

cases can avoid many difficulties.
| Many times physician is not called

his skilled advice Here is where the
help Of the Badger special health
| truck will be of inestimable value in
spreading propaganda for prenatal
and child welfare work.
| Surveys have been made in typical
rural counties in Wisconsin to ascer-
tain the conditions which contribute to

these conditions, in which isolation and

BUSINESS MEN
VISIT SANATORIUM HERE

A party of business men from
Marietta made a trip to the Rocky
Glen Sanatorium here last Friday.
Their visit was for the purpose of
inspecting the institution and get
ting information as to its capacity,
management, plans for further de-
velopment, ETC., with the view to
making a report to the business
men of Washington county as to the
advisability of their purchasing a
block of stock and getting behind
the institution in a substantial way.
Solicitation for sale of preferred
stock in this business has been
made throughout the state. This
stock pays a good rate of interest,
it is stated. The visit of the Mar
ietta men seems to have come as the
result of visit DR.. Mark made to
Marietta some time ago, in which he
placed before the business men
there facts regarding the sanator-
ium, and it's aims in the matter of
development.
The party who came here from
Marietta included Harvey Smith,
formerly of Pennsville, who is pres
ident of the Marietta chamber of
commerce, and who is well-known
to many here; Mr.. Thomas, secre-
tary of the same organization; Mr..
Oesterle, cashier of the Citizens
bank in Marietta; Mr.. Hogue, man
ager of the Lafayette hotel, and
Mr.. Hall of the chemical company,
and few other equally prominent
business men.
The fact that business men of
such prominence consider it worth
their while to come here for the
purpose mentioned, speaks we'll for
the standing the Rocky Glen insti-
tuition has, and it should be con-
sidered noteworthy that they took
the opportunity of securing first
hand information, in order that
they and others of their home coun-
ty might possibly make investment
here.
