S. of Labor.) ‘Washington , Ja 22.—So much is constantly placed upon the necessity for special care of the baby in summer, when the heat is ex- cessive and diarrheal diseases at their ‘orst, that the fact that winter, too, s its special dangers for the baby is sometimes overlooked. But the combination of heat and diarrhea is hardly more serious for the baby in the months of july and August, than are cold and respiratory i s in winter, Department n. emphasis Deserves Special Attention, | TItis plain then, that the winter care | of the baby deserves special attention from everyone interested in his health nd well being. It has been demonstrated quite con- ciusively that a large part of the deaths from summer: diarrhea are ! needless, because this disease may be cured in many cases, and prevented ertirely in many more by the proper | care and feeding of the baby during the heated months. The same doc- trine is now being applied to the group of what are “winter diseases” of babies and chil- dren, namely, bronchitis, pneumonia, “colds,” and the like, which are, like | diarrhea, to a large extent, prevent- | able by the intelligent care of the baby, and by surrounding him with proper living conditions, These proper living conditions con- | ist both in winter and summer of/ uitable food, in the right amounts, at | the right times, cleanliness, sufficient | sleep, plenty of fresh, clean air to| breathe, and protection from exposure | {o infectious diseases. It is chgifl.\'; the lack of these two latter require- ments that causes the winter illnesses | among babi Stale Overheated Air. 1t is not the cold of winter which makes people sick, ordinarily, but ather the stale overheated air inside cur houses and public buildings, which we breathe and re-breathe, thus ing disease germs about from one to another. Babies are particularly liable to be infected in this way, be- cause they spend a large part of their time indoors, and because mothers are apt to feel that to keep the baby warm the rooms must be kept shut tight. A mother should use every means in her power to protect her baby from “taking col ¢ it is commonly de- seribed. “Colds” are due to a germ very contagious, being easily prssed from one person to another in coughing and sneezing. A nursing maéther with a cold should tie a thin cloth or veil over her mouth and nose while nursing the baby, and should be careful never to cough or sneeze in his face, nor kiss him on the mouth. She should be particularly careful not to use her own handkerchief for the baby, nor sleep with him, while the disease lasts. Many babies contract these colds by being taken up and kissed by visitors, and if is a wise rule to keep the baby away from the pres- ence of people who are coughing and sneezing. The reason for this great care as regards a baby is that a con- tagious cold is very often the fore- runner of bronchitis and pneumonia, which diseases cause the deaths of many thousands of young habies every vear, and which are infinitely easier to prevent than to cure. Most Effective Weapon. Fresh air is the most effective weapon with which to fight the dis ea of the respiratory tract. This does not necessarily mean cold air, for cold air may be stale, and warm air may be pure. The ventilation of most American houses is faulty, since in order to keep them warm enough 1o suit us we shut them so tightly as 10 make the air unfit to breathe, after a few hours. To counteract this ten- dency mothers should see to it that all the occupied rooms of the house are thoroughly aired at least twice cvery day in the coldest weather, while in moderate weather there should be as nearly constant a supply of fresh air throughout the house, night and day, as can be managed. When the temperature outside is very low, the baby should be taken into a warm room while his nursery is being aired, and at night, his bed ghould be shielded from a direct draft. 1If there is a communicating room, the window in that room may be opened, if there is danger of chilling the air of his sleeping room. Have Windows Open. If the cold is excessive, or if there js a raw, damp wind blowing or rain or snow is falling, the baby should be given his daily airing in a room with the windows open, or on a protected | porch, dressing him warmly in out of door clothing. He should he taken | out during the middle of the day, for a little while, never long enough to run the risk of chilling him. This applies especially to young and deli- cate babies. As a child gets old enough to walk about and thus exer- | cise himself, he can be allowed to play for some time in an open room or where he is sheltered from the wind. But an airing every day does not take the place of fresh air in the house, day and night, and to secure sufficlent ventilation for health the niother must be on the watch to see that the rooms are opened and the air changed at frequent intervals, / TRIAN CRAFT SUNK.

A. Sterling (Special to the Herald.) Chicago, Jan, —At the meeting of the American Forestry as- at the Copley Plaza hotel, Boston, January 18, E. A, Sterling, forest engineer of Philadelphia, who represented the National Lumber Manufacturers association, of Chicago, geve an address on the relation be- tween forestry and the lumber market. Speaking of new developments which influence this relationship, Mr. Sterling stated that ‘the depressed ate of the lumber market for the past few years has reacted unfavor- ably on the systematic production of wood crops, which is what forestry 2ims to do. There has been over- production of lumber, greatly reduced demand and low prices, which have made, in many regions, even incum- plete utilization of standing timber unprofitable. The lumbermen have been facing the most critical period in of the industry, and their s or failure in devising ways and means for the betterment of conditiong and the stabilizing of the lumber mar- ket will have a very marked influence on the future development of for- estry.” Demoralized Lumber Market. Mr. Sterling then reviewed unfavor- able conditions as they affect what he said is the second largest manufactur- ing industry in the country, with an annual output valued at more than and represented by 80,000 manufacturers and di of forest products. Thi brought out the fact that be- cause of the magnitude of the in- dustry, and the many individuals and corporations involved, the lumber market is unable to adjust itself to ing conditions of supply and de- mand. It was also shown that there has been no organization of lumber- men, which, in any way, attempted_to regulate prices, but that instead of this, and because of the emagnitude of | the business and the many interests invqlved, there has been over-produc- tion, whi¢h demoralized the lumber market, Mention was made of the investiga- tion of lumber conditions by the federal trade commission during the past few months. Speaking of dhese hearings in various cities Mr. Ster- ling said: ‘“Practically all that the lumbermen have asked or suggested, is assurance that they will be acting within the law if they take steps to curtail production, What the out- ccme will be no one can prophesy, but it is certain that some remedy is needed if the lumber business is to be put on a basis which will give the fullest possible utilization of the nation’s forest resources, and give reasonable return on the capital in- vested. Unless these things can be brought about, commercial forestry cannot be practiced or even con- cidered.” Substitute Materials. Another condition which has not been given much consideration by for- esters is the competition of building materials which take the place of wood. It was explained that “during the past few years there has been a very great development along these lines, and that the substitute people are spending millions annually for advertising and publicity in order to make a market for their material and they have succeeded to such an ex- tent that lumber is’ permanently re- placed in many places where it has had universal use. The lumber industry is now follow- ing the modern practice adopted by other manufacturers in marketing their products. Mr. Sterling outlined the policy and plans of the lumber- men in this regard as follows: Awake to Situation. “The lumbermen are now fully awake to this situation, and have not only organized a defense, but are launching an educational publicity propaganda which will be an offen- sive movement in behalf of wood product: Practically every popular ne and many newspapers Now v lumber advertisement: and th this publicity, which tends to ! create a desire on the part of the ul- timate consumer to use lumber, gives service and information which will enable the buyer to get greater satis- better use of the lumber The trade extension prop- aganda of the lumber industry is founded on the common sense policy that where lumber is as good or better than any other building material, it should unquestionably be used; that by treatment to prevent decay | or retard fire, or by any other pro- cessing or adaptation, it can be made entirely suitable, it should also be used, and that where it is not safe or economic, or ornerwise suitable, that some other material should take its place.” That ample lumber resources still remain is indicated by the more re- cent Government estimates, and by careful study of the situation by those most familiar wtih conditions. While undue publicity has been given to statements that our forest resources are practically exhausted, Mr. Sterling showed the fallacy of this in his annual | sociation, nearly tributor: analy Teserve supply on the Pacific Coast, now readily available, with large tim. areas still standing in the North, South and East and with an estimated total of 200,000,000 acres of farm wood lots which still con- tribute to local needs, the fallacy of timber famine hecomes * evident. With this comes the practical cer. tainty that if a reasonable consump- tion of lumber can be maintained, agement, the reduction of loss by fire, and the longer service to be obtained { towns ,tuberculosis { tvphoid and from lumber hy proper selection and 2 ESTABLISHED 1886 &2 Globe Clothing House The World’s Best Clothing Made by Hart, Schaffner & Marx Are Included in Our 30th Annual.

This condition is, of cours influenced by many factors such as the desire of timberland owners to liquidate their capital, the risk of forest fires, and the high carrying charges as a result of excessive taxa- tion and unstable conditions. For- estry cannot ignore the influence of the lumber markets, and the prob- lems affecting the lumber industry. In its economic phases forestry is dependent on an active lumber mar- ket, and on prosperous conditions in the lumber industry for its wider ap- plication. 234 PNEUMONIA VICTIMS.
