local growers. This year the fed

small percent OF clear cut curly top
symptoms on tomatoes at inland.
Inc dentally, it Is stated by the
Farm Advisor that curly top. this

losses on susceptible European var
iet.es of sugar beets in other areas
In Imperial Valley European var
ieties of sugar beets are usually
but slightly affected with curly
top. While the U. S. department
of agriculture has developed var
ieties of sugar beets that are re-
sistant to this disease. resistant
varieties Of tomatoes have not been
developed.
one Of the symptoms of the cur

purpling of tho veins of the to-
mato leaves. ShapoyalOV states
that this purplng is coloring

When you employ one send her to

that she gets it, but don't discharge
her for that reason alone. 1t is much
safer to employ a person who gets

The latter may be. If she does not

DEATH RATE OF
INFANTS LARGE
in THE SUMMER

The glorious summer time is
season not entirely glorious for our
infants. In 1897 the infant death rate
in Worcester County provisional fig
ures) was almost twice that OF the
State of Maryland as whole and was
exceeded by only two other Counties,
Dorchester and Calvert. Infant deaths
per 1000 live births in Worcester
County last year were 116, as compar-
ed with 62 for the State of Maryland.
A substantial portion Of these deaths
occurred in the Summer time and
many were attributed TO what we
used to call Cholera Infantum" now
more commonly called Summer Diar-
rhea or Dysentery.
In number of cases and severity,
this disease has been much reduced
since we began to apply our know
ledge of sanitation and now produce
milk that is much purer than it used
to be and consume water from pure
sources. Summer dibrrhea is still
much too prevalent in Worcester Co.,
however, but it need not be if we
feed and care for our infants proper
ly. Therefore, the Worcester County
Health Department takes this oppor-
tunity to remind the citizens of the
County of a few facts concerning suit
able milk for feeding babies.
Breast Milk: 1t remains today the
best known food for babies. 1t is
sterile, digestible, balanced, and is the
best guarantee available that baby
will not develop Summer Diarrhea
from improper feeding.
Cows Milk: Until the baby is at
least two years old, cows milk wheth-
er pastuerized or not, should always
be boiled for three or four minutes.
Boiling serves double purpose-that
of killing germs and that of making
milk more digestible. In the stomach
all milk forms curds. Those from
raw milk are large, tough and not
easily digestible by the baby, while
those from boiled milk are much small
er, softer and more easily digested.
No baby should ever be fed raw milk.
Evaporated Unsweetened Milk:
is free from germs and so is absolute
ly safe. In addition, the curds form
ed from this milk are even smaller
than those from boiled cows milk.
When properly diluted with boiled
water, evaporated milk is one of the
best foods available for babies.
Condensed Sweetened Milk: Eagle
Brand or any other brands men,
toned only to condemn it as a food
for babies. Although it is true that
many babies have been successfully
raised on this milk, they have been
raised in spite of it and not because
of it. Condensed milk has high sug-
ar content and is not balanced food.
The baby fed on it may become very
fat, but is not usually robust or
strong. Often the milk does not
agree at all with the baby, resulting
in his failure to gain, in vomiting
and diarrhea of serious nature. Of
ten infections that would not bother
normal baby may have serious con-
sequences for the condensed milk baby
Powdered Milk: Some kinds of
powdered milk are excellent foods for
babies and may be safely used upon
the advice of a physician.
Proper refrigeration of milk dur
ing storage is important, also protec-
