Mother's Duty to Protect Child from All Preventable Diseases
PrapawJ by QuMna'• U. S. Depaitmrat of Labor
There are about 10,000,000 children In this country under five years of age, according to the United 8tates census of 1010. This means that the principal business of many millions of grown people Is the providing of the necessities of life for this army of children, all of whom are absolutely dependent upon their elders for the materials of growth, for shelter, warmth, and whatever else they need. To feed, to clothe, to warm, to house, protect and care for this multitude of the "citizens of tomorrow" Is a gigantic task, and the devotion and self-sacrifice it Implies can never be stated nor measured.
It is, howevef, a service which brings Its own reward, and especially when children proceed from a healthy babyhood Into a happy childhood, and on through youth Into a normal maturity.
The leading medical writers are Insisting that many of the lllnesstp, weaknesses, and deficiencies which Impose so heavy a burden upon the human race have their root In troubles of this early period of life. In the' lack of persistent and painstaking attention to the signs of disorders when they appear, to lack of proper food for the development of strong bodies, or to the attacks of preventable disease, leading to various deformities, weaknesses, defects or chronic illnesses In older persons.
It is of the greatest importance to the rearing of a race of healthy and happy men and women that parents shall come to realize that it is upon the foundations which are laid in the early weeks, months, and years of childhood that the superstructure of solid adult health rests.
Parents must, therefore, strive not only to provide children with the plain necessities for comfortable living, but also to surround them with constant intelligent care and oversight, a task which parents oftentimes find much harder.

development will be Interfered with for the time being.
Hven if the child's life Is saved— as It too often is not—the net results of such conditions, Including often complications of differing degrees of severity, cannot, by any stretch of the Imagination, he considered beneficial to him. When to all this Is added the work and worry of the mother, her sleepless nights and anxious days and, to put it on the lowest plane, the cost of doctors and possibly nurses and medicines, the sum total of the cost of the common diseases of childhood is past calculation.
The wise mother, abreast of the current of modern scientific thought, strives to keep her children well. She does not permit them to suffer from a single hour of Illness that it Is possible for them to avoid. In this effort she does not allow them to play with children who are coughing and smm-lng; she does not allow them to go to the houses of sick children, nor to attend public gatherings of any sort
Is the despairing cry of saddened mothers the wofld over. One of the hopeful signs of this present time is the growing recognition of the fact that child-care is a subject worthy of the highest and most persistent study. Another is the constant multiplication of the sources of information which are available to parents, in books and magazines, by public lectures, and by nurses and doctors.
One of the most pernicious of the older Ideas regarding sickness was the fatalistic assumption that certain diseases must be had by every one, and therefore children might as well have them early and be done with It. This Idea has led many mothers deliberately to expose their young children to such diseases as chlckenpox, measles,
1 whooping cough and the like, and has had many deplorable results, not the least of which Is the Indefinite spread and prolongation of the common contagious diseases. There are few communities, If any, In which one or another of these diseases Is not constantly appearing, and probably none where they have disappeared entirely.
It must be remembered that serious and prolonged Illness Is always a detriment to children. Growth is the great business of childhood, and a normal healthy growth should proceed In orderly fashion, day by day, without cessation. But if a child must give a few days or a few weeks now and then to an illness, In the course of which he suffers from fever, pain, or a debilitating cough, or an Irritation of the skin, or a sore and swollen throat, or an aching ear, it may be, normal

when the more dangerous contagious diseases are about. On the other hand, she remembers that she has a duty to all other children of the neighborhood, and If her own child is ailing she Isolates him until the nature of his Illness Is determined, and strives by every means In her power to minimize the danger for other children. When more mothers thus make themselves morally responsible for the lives and health of all the children we shall have the beginning of the end of the spread of the contagious diseases.
A periodic examination of all children by physicians would do much to prevent the development of many weaknesses and defects, or to secure their early and more hopeful treatment. This is practically secured for babies In the Infant welfare stations now in operation in many cities of this country. It is secured to a limited extent in the medical examination of school children, also, but too little attention is commonly paid to the children of the pre-school age who are no longer babies and yet are hardly more able to do without care than babies. It is to these children of the "neglected age" that mothers are now turning their attention and Interest particularly.
A Baby Week campaign will have many good results, but none more Important than bringing to light many children who need care of some special sort, and showing mothers how better to meet this demand upon their resources of knowledge and wisdom.

MILK: rxr tho, KIDDIES
THE health and welfare of your children depend
too closely upon the milk they drink for you
— to be unconcerned about the cleanliness and
purity of the milk you buy. Play safe with your
milk supply by getting your supply from us.
Upon the right handling of milk the first few hours after milking depends its purity, just as upon the right food and care of the cattle depends
its quality. The washing of the cow, the sterilizing of the hands of the milker, protection from the air, the quickness of cooling—all these steps help to make our milk a sample for purity and quality.
