HIGH MORTALITY RATE AND
REASONS FOR SAME

3 During the months OF February ana
March the mortality rate among child.
rem IS greater than all other months
Of the year added together
The reason for this high mortality,
the chemists find. is the fact that
germs from diseases are transferred
about from child to child through the
clothing. In the summer months the
child wears tub" clothing, that is
clothing which is washed in hot water.
soap suds and steam which kills the
germs. They wea. less clothing and
what they do wear is washed often
They also get out in the open air and
sunshine lot and this also helps 10
Kill the germs.
During the winter months the child
spends most Of it's time inside the
house. II wears heavier clothing,
made out OF heavy wool and other
materials that makes II impossible to
put in 10 the wash tub and through
the hot steam as is the case with the
lighter summer clothing. The only
way this clothing can be washed Is
by dry cleaning and few are the fam.
lilies that will go 10 the expense OF
having their chids clothing dry clean.
ed. The result is the child wears his
outer clothing perhaps all winter with.
out cleaning.
When he goes TO school he hangs
his clothes In with clothes Of others
and the germs thus are transferred
In this way many epidcmics prevalent
in the winter. such as measles. small
pox. scarlet fever and other diseases
are spread. This is no new idea OF
ours, this cleaning Of the children's
garments free Of charge. neither Is
II n selfish plan for gain. But We
sincerely believe that We can heln
stop these epidemics and that is our
purpose.
our only stipulation Is that with the
free garments you send some other
clothing for which the regular clean.
Ing charge will be made.
