Most of the deaths that occurred

eliminated.
The deaths which now occur are
largely due to infection of the lungs,

mains approximately the lame.
The one factor which has steadily
Increased during the past genera
ton as cause Of deaths in infants
Is the rate from premature birth.
This apparently Is associated with
parental infection and with bad
obstetrical care, and it indicates the
necessity for more attention to the
condition of the mother during the
period before the child's birth. Ger
tainly the mother who wishes to save
her baby should see physician just
as soon as she realizes that she is to
have a child, and should visit him
regularly until after the child's birth.

How to Keep It,
Causes of illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBE1N
Editor journal of the American
Medical Association and OF
Hygeia, the Health Magazine

Everyone who has followed the
decreasing death rates of civilized
communities during the past hun
dred years realizes that much of the
decrease is due to the substantial
reduction that has taken place in the
deaths of infants during the first
year of life. In 1900, the death rate
of infants under one year were 161
per thousand; in 1910, al per thou
sand. and in 1920, 106 per thousand.
The number of deaths under one
year decreased considerably, but
those under one month decreased
only slightly, and those under one
week hardly at all. In other words,
as pointed out by DR.. Howard w.

Health Council, the better economic
conditions and public health work
of the past 20 years is apparently

Winsome Bluebird and Mrs Win
some had arrived early this spring
and had promptly gone to house
keeping over in the Old Orchard.
There they had successfully raised
family and then had moved up to
a house in Farmer Browns door
yard. Farmer Browns Boy had
kept sharp watch to see that they
never We're disturbed, for he is
very fond Of Winsome Bluebird He
knew without looking when there
were eggs. He knew because Mrs.
Winsome came out of that little
house only for exercise and to eat.
Now Farmer Browns Boy had
been so busy when the first Blue
birds were Matched that they had
grown up before he realized how
fast they were growing. He had
wanted to band them, but they had
left nest before he realized that 1t
was time for them to leave. So he
kept a sharp watch of house in the
dooryard. for he intended to band
Winsome's second family. This
house was or an iron, pole. Black
Pussy couldn't climb it. Chatterer
the Red Squirrel couldn't climb IT.
MIR. Black Srake couldn't climb It.
The Bluebird family was quite safe
from disturbance.
In time the eggs Matched, as eggs
have a way of doing. Then Win
some and Mrs. Winsome were two
very busy people as they hunted
for food for the hungry little
mouths inside that house. From ear
ly morning until shadow time they
hunted food, for growing bird ba-
hies are the hungriest little people
In the whole world. a bird baby
will eat it's own weight in food in
a day. You see, Old Mother Nature
has to 90 a very great deal to a
bird baby in a very short time.
There are all those feathers to grow.
for most birds start without any
feathers. So 1t keeps Mother and
Father very busy, very busy indeed,
until the babies are able TO take
care of themselves.
Every time that Farmer Browns
Boy passed that little house h"

Dramatics have merged, In that
popular interest in dramatics has
increased to such an extent in
