osting talk by Mrs. Bertha Judd,

their children brought up in the

RAISING OF CHILDREN is A
HAZARDOUS OCCUPATION
State Department of Health
Brings Out Startling Facts

A study made recently by the State
Department of Health of 1886 deaths
that occurred in Maryland last year,
in connection with what has been des-
cribed as a particularly hazardous
occupation, has brought out some
startling facts. For instance, it was
shown that 485, or one-ffth occurred
during the first day on the job; 381
from the first to the seventh day;
283 from then until the end of the
month, making a total of 1,149, or 48
precautionary half of the total dur
ing the year-during the first
thirty days.
Inquiry into the causes showed that
a large percentage of the deaths dur
ing the first thirty days-a total of
989- was due to some weakness
that made it impossible for the indi-
viduals to stay on the job. Pneumonia
carried off ATT of the total during the
year, but only 81 of these occurred
during the first thirty days. Diges-
tive diseases We're responsible for 1885,
but only 80 of these occurred during
the first month.
In regard to these deaths, all of
which occurred among children under
year old, DIR. ]. H. M. Knox, Jr.,
Chief of the State Bureau of Child
Hygiene said, "When we realize that
there were 1856 infant deaths in the
State, last year, that nearly half of
them-1,149- occurred within thirty
days after birth, we have to agree
