AUGUST AND IGNOR-
ANCE ARE HARD
ON OUR BABIES

Declaring that baby mortality from
intestinal complaints reaches its peak
in August and branding this fact as a
serious reflection upon the intelligence
of grown-ups, DR.. Isaac ID. Rawlings,
state health director, called upon par
ents, in a public statement issued
children. Food" said the director,
spells life or death for the baby in
about SO cases out of 100 because it
is bad or contaminated food that does
the mischief, rather than the high
temperature. Hot weather makes
food spoil quickly" he added, "and
spoiled food is but little better than
poison to an infant.
Caring for infants and children in
the summer time involves chiefly the
use of common, everyday horse
sense" said the statement. Babies
less than year old who feed from
the breast after the plan of the Great
Creator rarely have digestive troubles
in the hot months, for the simple rea-
son that their food doesn't have a
chance to spoil or get polluted. If
added to this they get a bath every
day and are dressed as lightly as
possible with plenty of boiled water
between meals, the chances are that
babies will be the happiest, healthiest
and most cheerful members of the
| family.
Cows milk for bottle fed babies
and for children ought always to be
| perfectly pasteurized and should then
| be kept at a temperature not greater
than 500 or Goo f. This one measure
would prevent vast amount of sum-
| mer diarrhoea and other intestinal
complaints among Illinois youngsters
"Of course the children ought to
have plenty of fresh fruit, fruit
juices, fresh vegetables and cereals
The proper amount of these things de.
ponds mostly on the age, older chill
drsn demanding a greater quantity
and larger variety of food.
Some folks think babies ought tC
be wrapped up in a lot of blankets
because they are small, even if the
weather is as hot as Sahara. This
abuse makes the baby cry and then he
| promptly gets a dose of soothing
syrup followed by a fat sugar teet
or other form of paciiier. This in
| turn brings ON digestive trouble ano
the family has a sick baby on It's
| hands. Plenty of wholesome milk
given at regular intervals is the
birth-right of every baby.
Notwithstanding, serupu'
lous cleanliness, is the biggest wore
in baby care language. If his food is
clean, if his body is clean, if his bot
ties and other utensils are sterilized
with boiling water after each using
if his clothes are frequently and
thoroughly washed and exposed &c
the sunshine and air, if mothers and
nurses hands are always carefully
washed before handling-lf all these
| things are done, one need have few
worries about baby's welfare. Out
side of these things he can be counted
on to pretty we'll take care Of HIM

NEW YORK SENA-
TOR URGES FARM
ERS' COOPERATION

Farmers-look to cooperation!
There lies your greatest hope!
That's the judgment of Senator Ma
than Straus, Jr., chairman of the New
York Senate's Agricultural Commit
tee. who has made thorough study
and analysis of the problems of good
production and marketing. Writing to
farmers in the American-Ag ricultur-
alist the Senator points out the fail
ure of the state to help the farmer in
need and urges them to find the solu-
ton of their marketing problems in
cooperation. ~
1t was the discovery that half the
farmers in the United States made
less than $1,000 last year which
brought the Senator face to face with
the desperate straits American farm
ers are in. While the terrors of crop
failure have been largely overcome
by agricultural research, no increased
prosperity has come to the farmer
from his larger crops. "The average
farmers reward for his long hours of
work and his risk was, in 1919, a
banner year, 81 ,456," he says. at
was only S465 in 1920. 1t was $1,2ll
in 1922. Farmers in New York
State, he points out, receive about
$500 a barrel for their apples, while
the city housewife pays from three
to five cents apiece for these apples,
which is equivalent to S15 to S25 a
barrel. In this great state, which is
first among the states of the union
in point of production of milk and
milk products, the dairy farmer gets
4 and cents quart for milk for
which the housewife has to "ay IA
and Is quart.
Senator Strauss is not given just
to fault finding or singing mud at
the parasitic middlemen who rob both
producers and consumers. Unlike
most of New York States senators,
he acts as we'll as talks. Last session
of the legislature he introduced and
fought for the passage of resolution
providing for a committee to study
the subject of farmers cooperation.
The Senator is going to take up the
fight again, however, on the recon-
vening of the Legislature next year.
