GUARD THE INFANTS, Secretary Townsend Sends Out Warn- ing Note for the Summer Months. In his April report Secretary J. H. Townsend of the state board of health sounds a warning note on the subject of infant mortality. He writes: The approach of summer calls at- tention to infant mortality which is always high during the ~very hot months and makes it well to consider what this amounts to in Connecticut, to seek the cause and apply the nec- extent this spring, and today there will be still further additions to the roll, as there are two hatchings of goslings and two of turkeys to come out today. At present three broods of baby chickens are in charge of thelr hen- mothers. Two of the families are pure Dred Japanese siliies, but the mem- ‘bers of the other family are half breeds —Japanese silkies and bantam.

The board walk, will be far mcre substantial than the one which was demolished Dby the storm of March 1, and because of its uniformity will give the beach front a more attractive ap- pearance. Construction of 36 new bathhouses at the beach has been started and con- siderable progress has been made. Ten of the houses will be contained in an addition to the north end of one of the present buildin, near the pond and the remaining 26*will be in a separate structure to the east of the present bathhouses.

An automobile with Raymond Sher- men and Raymond Brittin in it balked in sight of home Saturday about mid- night just south of the Thamesville hill.. The gasoline supply had given essary remedies. Thirty-three hun- dred infants under one yvear of age die annually. This amounts to nearly twenty per cent. of the total death rate and is about one-ninth of the to- tal births for a year. Of this num- ber one-half die under the age of two months, mostly from congenital causes, such as premature birth and inanition. Above the age of two months the more common causes are gastro- intestinal disorders. Much valuable work is now being formerly the Winsor line and is still unofficially known as such. There is local interest in the above announcement, as the Winsor line of steamers to Philadelphia was first es— tablished in 1866 by J. M. Huntingion & Co. of Norwich, Conn. In 1872 the line was sold to Henry Winsor of Priladelphia, by whom a new company was shortly afterward formed and in- corporated by the Massachusetts leg- islature with the title of the Boston and Philadelphia Steamship company. out and the machine would not move any further. In the emergency the thing to do was to push the machine to the top of the hill which the two men did with the help of Policeman Cornelius Murphy and William Good- fellow There the gasoline supply was replenished with some secured from E. P. Rose, who lives nearby. Flagpole for State Camp Ground. Capt. Willlam P.

S done to improve the milk supply of the state and this has been found to have an appreciable effect upon the infant death rate. Health officers should do all that they can to see that the milk supply comes from health animals and that it is protected from contamination from the time it leaves the cow until it reaches the consumer. They should aid and cooperate in all movements to educate mothers in the care of their bables. In some of our larger cities milk dispensaries have done a_valuable work. These should be in charge of a physician to advise mothers with regard to care and feed- ing and he should be assisted by a trained nurse to visit and give advice in the home. Considering the very high rate In infants under three months old, many of whom live only a few days or hours, also the fact that there are more than @ thousand still-births recorded each vear, it is evident that we must go a step further in seeking the cause and apply the remedy to the mother as well as to the child. Something should be done for her for the child’s sake, if not for her own. Babies are often found ill nourished because the mother is t00 poor to buy proper food for herself and means must be found to obtain this while she is nursing her baby. A healthy child is not to be ex- pected as the offspring of intemperate or underfed parents. Many mothers endanger the lives of their children by working too hard during the latter months of pregnancy and it is now a well established fact that the infant mortality is high among the babies.of women who work in. factories angd mills. Too frequent child bearing is also a cause of debility in mother and her infant. These are matters in LECTURE TOUR FINISHED.

The great idea in this world is to get something for nothing. There is a price for everything. ~You can't get away from it. We admire good men, but it costs something for that man to be good. Few people have stopped to consider what jt means to be @ £00d man, It costs’ something to be strong in the body. Take the great professional ball plavers of today; they have to stop their drinking during the play- ing season, stop smoking cigarettes. The athletes in college that tre train- ing have to leave off eatins certain things. And so with the mind and soul must be taken care of with good teach- ings. We are great musical instruments and we want the master to do th playing. Don’t refuse him the right. Surrender yourself fully to him.
