Dangerous First
 Year Of s Life
By s. JOSEPHINE BAKER, M. D.. Dr. P. H.

| MI. D., UT. T . A.
 IT AST year in the United States near. ly 100000 babies died before they
 were one month old. This waste of life is absolutely unnecessary ana could be easily prevented.
 The baby death rate as wnoie mas been reduced one-half during the past fifteen years, but this ilte-savihg mas taken place between the first month and thn and of the first year. The pro nor+;on of babies who die before they are are a month old is just about as great now as if was twenty years ago.
 The reason for this is not hard to find Nearly all of the efforts that are heinz made by doctors, nurses, public health officials and others who are, en- ro ped in &baby-saving work have been directed toward educating the mother in the proper methods of baby care. This has been done after there was hahv to care for and not during those yostlv important months when the baby was expected. The babies who die so soon after tbev come into the world give up their lives because their mothers have not endowed them with sufficient health and vitality to enable them to live.
 Every expectant mother should know that she is not giving her baby a fair chance of living unless she gives herself the proper care during the months before the baby is born. .,
 Unless an expectant mother is well the chances are that her baby will not he we'll. Battles are not won by send ing poorly equipped soldiers to fight them. So. in the battle that the baby must make against the odds of its life journey; it is the duty of the mother t. to see that his physical equipment IS suffl' cient to enable him to win it.
 The expectant mother can assure good health for her baby by caring for babies during this perilous first month can be reduced two-thirds if the ex- nectant mothers receive proper pre- natal care. In many cities there are organizations which furnish this care and instruction through their staff of visiting doctors and nurses. If the mother can afford it, she should place herself under the care of her own physi'

WOmen's Work
 A N EXHIBITION of Modern Elm "A broideries recently held in Lon don was distinguished by the fact that all the work was done by men.
 It was not done by disabled soldiers who were being helped to earn a living as best they might but by men of vari- ous types and circumstances. Num- bered among them were peers of the realm and many scions of England's S first families.
 They were the sort of men, it seems to me, who are so sure of themselves that they are not in the least afraid of what people will think.
 If they choose to become interested in work usually done by us, they see no reason why the fact that it is gen. orally called "women's work" should prevent them from doing it.
 Nor is there any reason. There is only a prejudice and stupid one at that.
 This silly prejudice as to what men may or may not do. exists most strong ly among men of the narrowest experi- ence and the most restricted interests. The higher one goes in the intellectual UT lLc SOCIdl SCulCy luC ACSo IS LO be found between mems work and wom ems work. It is more clearly recog- nized that work of any sort is a ques tion of temperament or of necessity but not of sex.
 It is no more effeminate for a man to knit than to make fish or tennis nets; to embroider than to etch. Both require delft fingers, dexterity and pa. tience-qualities not to be ashamed of.
 As a matter of fact it occurs to me that the reason so-called women's work has been relegated to us is simply be- cause it generally requires patience and is regarded as less interesting than more varied tasks. This aplies to dish washing, mending, tending babies, household cooking, sweeping and wash ing They are all thankless tasks that must be done and in most cases, ob- viously, it is the woman who must do them-we have the time for them. This is simply a question of economics.
 The sooner we get over this shib- boleth as to what is essentially woman's work the better for us, for men and perhaps for work, also. When ec- enemies does not enter in, and a man and woman are equally free, sex should not enter into it either.

"Fla. You do not know Raggedy An dy!" the little Captain said, 'Raggedy Andy is not only very brave, but his head is stuffed with nice white cotton, just like Raggedy Anns, and III bet a nickel by this time Raggedy Andy has fooled Witch Wiggle and Witch Grundy!"
 "If had not let Raggedy Andy take my magical horseshoe nail charm, could easily find out just what has happened the little brown man said. But maybe Raggedy Andy will need the magic charm before he gets through with the mean Witches"
 And, of course, Raggedy Andy did need the magic horseshoe nail.
 For, while he had hidden behind the front door and had cracked the two Witches hard with a long stick and as they ran out the back door, the hobby horse had given them a lot of hard thumps, still the Witches did not in- tend. being defeated so easily.
 They ran bowling away through the woods until they came to a stump, then they sat down and rubbed their heads
 +:Ha! Why should we sit and rub our heads whenwe have magic charms?" Witch Wiggle said as she rubbed their bumps. zSsz
 how we can fool Raggedy Andy!" Witch Grundy said as. she, too, got out her magic charms.5
 "Ha" she cried, 'Raggedy Andy beat us to the Grannys' home by riding upon the magic hobby horse and taking the short cut through the woods, so now we must take the short cut through the woods and get ahead of Raggedy Andy and the magic boat Then we can wait there and capture the boat again."
 So the Witches ran to where they had hidden their flying brooms and hopping upon these, they flew away through the woods until they reached the path way ahead of the magic boat.
 Then they made strange drawings in the dirt of the path and said lot of magic words.3
 When they had finished this, they hid in the bushes and waited.
 Presently theslittle magic boat came Tn sight, sailing along above the path and upon the front deck eating Iolly pop sat Raggedy Andy, all unmindful that the two Witches had fooled him and beaten him to this place.

 The simple rules of health must be followed in a common sense manner. The right kind and amount of food, baths, clothing, exercise, recreation and okkortsoo << &ho krn:o..o nf Aka- -keA.. are essential. Above all, there should be freedom from anxiety and worry. Every expectant mother can do all that is necessary for herself and her baby in her own home and, with little or no ex- pense. She can, and should, keep her self well and assure good health for her baby.N
 If the expectant mother can not con- suit a private physician, and if there is no visiting nurse or doctor to advise her, she should write to The Children's
