BY feeding powdered seaweed 10

announced.
Prior to the tests the milk from
the Mccormick herd was free of

progressed several weeks the milk
was found to contain SOC parts OF
iodine in a million.
The seaweed was mixed with regu-
lar feed. Samples Of the iodizeG milk
were found 20 retain their flavor and

said to he more than sufficient, doc

BETTER HEALTH FOR THE
BABIES AND MOTHERS
Maryland Is Becoming Healthier
Each Year, Says Department

Reports from the State Department
of Health indicate that Maryland is
becoming healthier each year for ba-
bies and mothers. The total number
of infant deaths recorded in 1927
that is, of deaths under one year Of
age, was 1916. The total in 1926 was
1907. There were fewer deaths of
mothers also-65 in 1927 and IA in
1926. Checking these against the
total births, it is shown that there
were fewer than five deaths of moth
ers in each thousand births.
Commenting on the decrease, Dr..
]. H. M. Knox, Jr., Chief of the State
Bureau of Child Hygiene, said: 1.-The
records of the Department show a
gradual decrease in the number of in
FAINT deaths in proportion to the num-
Der of births. But the number of
baby deaths is still far too great, be-
cause if we look further into the rec
ords we find that over half of the in
FAINT deaths that occur each year are
due to preventable causes. The diges-
tive diseases that come from improper
