Sob.Sister
Sentimcntally
The first by-product of scientific
criminology was sob-sister senti-
mentality.
II the criminal was in part the
product of forces, physical, mental
and social, and was not simply a
wicked person, whom it was our duty
to hate and punish, the natural con-
clusion seemed to be that we should
treat him with more leniency than
had been the custom Of the vindic-
tive past.
The old motives for severity be-
ing discredited, the severity itself
seemed unjustif;ed. But the further
development Of impersonal, unvin-
dictive, unmoralzing scientific study
of crime as a problem is tending to
the opposite conclusion.
Chief of Police Vollmer of Berke-
ley, Calf, widely known as scien-
tific criminologist, in a recent adj
dress advocated life Imprisonment
for habitual criminals, not as a
punishment" but as the logical
treatment of an incurable disease.
Not the magnitude Of the crime,
but the hopelessness Of reform. de-
signates certain classes of criminal
repeaters for permanent segregation
from society.

to diagnose them before they COM

MOTHERS MUST GUARD
AGAINST PNEUMONIA "

Baby's dress deserves the utmost
, nsideration. ...
Scrupulous care should be taken
to see that soiled clothing is changed
| Immediately. There is real dan
ger In neglecting to change baby's
damp or soiled clothing promptly.
for such clothing remaining un.
changed on the baby will cause the
over-chi Hing Of the body.
In baby, as in grownups, when the
body becomes chilled, the resistance
to disease is lowered and infectious
agents find conditions favorable for
an attack.
You should remember, too, that
poorly fed babies do nota resist dis
ease as easily as do well-fed. robust
properly nourished children. Breast.
fed babies do best at all seasons of
the year.
Your babys diet, particularly if
not breast-fed, should be prescribed
and regulated by competent physi-
clan. Baby's growth, his increase
or decrease in weight, should be
noted carefully in order that the
proper nourishment in sufficient
amounts may be given.
Free Clinics
Arc Available
The free clinic or dispensary, now
forming part and very necessary
part Of many of our larger hosp-
tails, is available to those who can
not afford to employ the services of
a family physician.
These clinics and dispensaries
should be utilized, for while they
cannot overcome the condition Of
lowered resistance brought about by
poverty, they may detect the first
signs of lowered resistance in baby
and prescribe more healthful, but no
more expensive food, than that
which the baby is now getting.
Another important point TO ire
member in the care of the baby in
winter is the use of home remedies.
No mother and no father is cap
able of determining the nature of
the indisposition or ailment which
may attack the baby.
Since this is true, it follows like
wise that no one other than a train
ed physician is able to prescribe in
teillgent treatment for the baby's
lndispositiOn or ailment.
You cannot find health for your
baby in medicine, though medicine
Is sometimes needed. You can not
get at the basis Of the trouble which
makes your baby cry by dosing it
with some soothing strip.
The sooner you recognize the i'm
portance of intelligent and scientific
care Of the baby, under the direction
of trained and skilled physician or
nurse, or both, the better will be
baby's opportunity to fight invasion
of disease and to avoid a premature
death.

BY DIR. HUGH s. CUMMING
Surgeon General, United States,
Public Health Service

The question which most mothers
face with the approach Of winter is,
what special precautions are ncccs-
sary to protect the health of my
baby during the winter months ?"
For obviously, cold weather brings
with it many problems in infant
care.
Investigation has shown that the
increasing prevalence of pneumonia
during the winter months is not con-
fined to grownups alone, but that
the infant population also suffers
from this disease. Very young chill
dren are particularly susceptible to
the influence of cold weather and are
most susceptible during times of
epidemics of lung diseases. The
large number of deaths from pneu-
monia, which occur in winter among
children under two years of age,
has convinced health officials that
the work in infant welfare, which is
being carried on by health agencies,
should not be confined alone to the
summer months but should be en-
tended to cover the entire year.
The prevention of the so-called
respiratory diseases among babies is
by no means minor problem. One
OF the most important points amoth-
er should remember in this conncc-
ton is that to prevent pneumonia
does not mean to confine very young
babies in stuffy, overheated rooms or
place them close to a stove, radiator
or other heating appliance.
You mothers Of young babies
should remember that fresh air is
just as essential to the growing
baby as it is to the grownup man
or woman. 1t is of the utmost i'm
portancc that you endeavor to main
tain proper temperature in the
home and especially in the bedroom
where your baby is kept.
A sufficient amount of heat for
the comfort of your baby is desir-
able, but a supply of fresh air suffi-
cient to keep the atmosphere COM
paratively free from deleterious
agents is equally desirable and may
usually be obtained by opening the
window at the top.
plentiful supply Of fresh air
without drafts may be obtained by
lacking thin muslin or chcesecloth
over thes open windows or on the
windowscrecn. This also keeps out
particles of coal SCOT, dirt or snow
Dressing the
Baby in Winter
Another consideration in the pro-
per care of your baby, during the
winter months, is proper dress.
Your baby should be dressed in
winter according to the temperature.
