THAT More BABIES MIGHT LIVE

N 1900 one baby out OF every six
born in the United States died be-
u fore reaching the age of one year.
In 1895 only one in eighteen died.
Between those two dates tremendous
advances were made in pediatrics -
the care of infants - and one of the
most insidious harbors of bacteria was
practically destroyed. That harbor was
the nineteenth-centuryn nursing bottle.
Do you remember those nursing
bottles? Ingenious affairs they were,
some with long tubes. some with
valves, some with trap doors, and all
of them impossible to keep clean.
Their corners, crevices, hinges, even
their nipples. were so full of bacteria
breeding in decomposed milk residues
that it was a wonder any artificially-
fed babies lived at all. And feeding an
infant with one of those amazing con-
traptions was major problem in it.
self. If the milk didn't flow right -
and it usually didn't - the baby
sucked in air The air made bubbles
and the bubbles made collie And if
both breast and bottle feeding were
necessary the artificial nipple was so
unlike the breast that the child
wouldn't take it. Bottle feeding was,
in short, menace and nuisance.
But as menace the problem was
most serious. In 1894 young family
physician in Buffalo, New York, was
busy treating gastrointestinal disor-
ders among infants. Dr. William More
Decker was also the father of an infant
girl, and for some time he had been
casting suspicious glances at the nurs-
ing bottles both in his own home and
in the homes of his patients. Then,
suddenly, his own baby became sick.
AS he nursed her back to health DR..
Decker spent no more time being sus-
picious. He went into action The
bottle in his nursery was discarded,
along with the long tube. DR.. Decker
was off on a microbe hunt armed with
one idea - simplicity.

found it easy to keep clean. Babies.

the taste of milk and the feel of the

" wo fishermen were enjoying their

Ed" said one do you know what
each of these little fish has cost us in
money? Just about five dollars. Some

Not long ago an elderly business

said he had stopped hunting ducks
when the cost of getting one duck be-
came more than fifteen dollars.
Such incidents are happening all
over the United States. And yet the
United States was once stocked with
what seemed to be an inexhaustible
supply of wild life. In many places
older men can remember when the
shortest cut to a good meal was to
shoulder rod or gun. Today the scar
city of fish and game has made rod
and-gun meals luxury.
Faced with this situation, sports
men have organized into groups, some
powerful nationally, others locally, but
all enthusiastic. Today these organlza-
tions are footing the bills and furnish
ing the drive for one of the most
important jobs in the United States -
conserving our forests and streams so
they may always support bountlful
supply of fish and game. Sportsman
ship has become something more than
big business. 1t is serious business.
Sportsmen's groups have been ac-
tive in politics for about generation.
When they first got busy it seemed
that the main trouble with hunting
and fishing was due to the direct kill
ing of game - and this certainly
seemed reasonable enough. About fif-
teen years of systematic shooting all
but wiped out the buffalo. Fishing in
the Great Lakes decreased between
eighty and ninety per cent because OF
heavy catches. And SO the first steps
we're to establish closed seasons and
limit the sportsman's kill. Later came
the breeding of fish and game.
These measures accomplished some
good; but not enough. AS time went
on it became clear that something
more was needed. Each year saw mil
lions of fish raised in hatcheries and
planted in streams, often without
much effect on the fishing.
No matter how carefully the fish
were raised, they could not live in
streams muddied with farm soil and
poisoned by factory waste. The

And simplicity was what he
achieved. He made a bottle whose
neck was as wide as its base; he made
the corners round, both inside and
out; he fitted it with nipple that
approximated the mothers breast as
closely as possible - conical, firm,
even-fowing He made nursing bot
tie, in short, that overcame two major
obstacles of artificial feeding - un-
cleanliness and unwillingness.

Buffalo, and his son. William M.
Decker, Jr.. is still carrying on.
Today sterilization is the universal
practice in child feeding. Careful
mothers have wide variety of bottles
and nipples from which to choose, but
they all go back to that vital and
significant principle first expounded

UNLESS!

streams too often rose in disastrous
floods in the spring and dried to
trickle in the summer. In earlier days
they had flowed free all year.
The protection and breeding of land
animals we're scarcely more successful
than the Matching of fish. The average
American farm, with its forest cut and
its soil washing away, was either bar
rem in the wintertime or supported
only miserable growth of weeds. 1t
afforded neither cover nor food for
game. AS songblrds and game animals
disappeared, insects and destructive
rodents became more numerous.
1t has finally become clear that the
surest way to restore good hunting and
fishing lies in making the American
landscape healthy again. So the sports
man finds himself in the same boat
with passengers of many different in
terests the people who are interested
in forestry, soil conservation, flood
control, birds and nature preserves.
The modern sportsman is still
jovial fellow with zest for swapping
yarns and telling fish stories. But he
has his serious side, too. He realizes
that sportsmen, along with other
patriotic groups, must support the
restoration of forests and streams, the
stopping of soil erosion and program
of land-use that will bring farm and
farmer back to prosperity.
It's good sportsmanship to help
keep America a beautiful and boun-
tiful country.

Sound ,2-rought to Peters mind what
Jesus had told him, and as he glanced
up &c saw Christ locking sadly at
him, and he vent ouc and wept. It
must have been & bitter moment tc
him.
1t is so easy to talk of our love and
faithfulness, but when we grow afraid
for our safety or our lives, we turn
covards. This is 4he only time thai
Peter failed, and he suffered from il
probably all his life.
But you must remember, too, that
Feter had fought. for his Lord vhe..
the soldiers came to arrest Him. st
Luke tells it, and says that when the
soldiers came Peter took a sword and
sliced off the ear of one. But Jesus
rebuked him for his violence and
healed the man who was hurt.
Peter, too, was forgiven for his sin
and lived to Go a great deal of good
in the world. But Judas, who betrayed
his Master to the Roman soldiers, de-
stroyed himself when he realized what
he had done.
It was this same evening, earlier
that the disciples had eaten the Feast
of the Passover with their Master,
and Jesus had told them that "the
hand of him who betrayeth Me is with
