MORTALITY OF
INFANTS DROPS
in MD. COUNTIES
Death Rate Lessened By Over
200, Is Report From State
Health Department
NEARLY HALF DIE
IN FIRST MONTH

Over 200 fewer babies died in the
counties of Maryland in 1924 than in
1923 according to a report recently
issued by DR.. John S. Fulton, Director
of the State Department of Health.
The total lumber of infant deaths
that is deaths under one year of age
in 1923, was 1922; the total in 1924,
was 1893. Favorable as this decline
is, it does not represent by any means,
according to DR.. J. H. M. Knox, Jr.,
Chief of the Bureau of Child Hy-
giene, the number of infant lives that
it is possible to save in rural Mary
land.
"It has been known for a long
time," says DR.. Knox, "that large
proportion, nearly half, of the chill
dren that lie in their first year die
in their first month. Many of these
lives flicker cut because these babies
are deprived unnecessarily of their
mothers milk. Probably about five
times as many babies die who are fed
on the bottle as are breast fed. Many
people believe that maternal nursing
is failing function. On the con-
trary, this maternal duty can usually
be carried out if the doctor and moth
er are determined to overcome the
temporary difficulties which some
times occur.
Diet For The First Year.
During the first six months the ba-
by should be breast fed exclusively.
After the third month a little strain
ed orange juice should be given every
day.
Cereals
"After six months little cereal at
first once and then twice a day
should be given the baby before the
breast feeding. Cereal such as cream
of wheat or farina should be cooked
two hours in double boiler and serv-
ed at about the consistency of honey,
without milk and preferably without
sugar. One should begin with about
teaspoonful and increase gradually
to two or three tablespoonfuls, be-
fore nursing.
Vegetables
"In another month little vege-
table, such as carrots or spinach,
cooked in a small amount of sailed
water until soft and tender and put
through sieve, can be given. Be-
gin with teaspoonful increased
gradually to two or three tablespoon
fuls, before nursing, once day.
Broth
"About this time or a little later,
broth made Of beef, mutton or chick
en-, with the fat skinned off, can be
added to the vegetable, or they may
be cooked together.
Later still, perhaps the ninth or
tenth month, a small quantity of bak-
ed potato, baked apple or toast can be
given.

ting ready to take their men to the

1t must be remembered that at pres
ent, the average membership of a
shop nucleus is much smaller than
that of our branches. Considering
this fact, it certainly is creditable to
the shop nuclei members that % Of
their units have been able to collect
over $500 of the approximately $4,000
already collected for The DAILY
WORKER.
But we must admit that a number
Of the shop nuclei have not yet done
their share A number of the shop
nuclei have been inexcusably negli-
gent in participating in this important
effort to put The DAILY WORKER
on its feet
The fact of the matter is that this
campaign affords the comrades an ex-
cellent opportunity to bring the
party's ideas and purposes before
masses Of non-Communist workers.
We hereby specifically point out the
shop nuclei which have so far, aac-
cording to our records, failed to do
their bit for The DAILY WORKER.
Perhaps some Of the individual mem
bers of the shop nuclei in this dree-
lict list have participated in this drive
and have their contributions register
ed as part of the contribution of party
units to which they are not affiliated.
This does not remove our criticism.
Each shop nucleus, as a party unit,
should organize its own little cam
paign as part of the general party
campaign. Each shop nucleus should
try to put itself as basic party unit,
in the front ranks of the workers for
this party campaign.

The SiZzerbill,

CUP in the great lonesome woods
of the North the old guides have
made up many yarns which they tell
over and over to the tenderfeet from
the cities--their own way of explain
ing the strange tracks and weird
noises. Mr.. Childs, who used to be a
game warden in the woods of north
ern Wisconsin, collected these stories
himself from the 'oldtimers."D
Did you ever lose your hooks when
you were fishing? Know how it feels
to have a mighty tug on your line
and think that it must be at least a
whale who's taken a fancy to your
bait? Then you felt the line go limp,
pulled it in, and found your hook
gone. "A big fish must have got it,

all: it's the sizZerbill.
Now the sizzerbill is a mean Gus
toner. He's always hanging around
the weeds and rushes and in other
places close to the shore. He's
mighty clever al keeping himself out
of sight.
When he sees a fish struggling to
free himself he will dart out under
the water and-snip. snip-with his
bill he cuts the line very neatly. And
away goes the fish, free once more.
And away goes the sizzerbill, off 10
another hiding place to make trouble
for some other fisherman.
The sizzerbill is really half bird
and half animal. He's growing rarer
and rarer, and 1t is only every year
or so that some old guide up in
northern Wisconsin or Minnesota re-
ports that he caught sight OF one
of these tricky fellows as he made
for one OF his favorite hiding places
