dangerous. All of us at one time or
another have heard the stock Joke
of the mother who Just knows she
knofi how to bring up babies be-
cause she has buried nine of them.
Not infrequently. mothers—who
are more interested in their babies
than anyone in the world—through
lack of knowledge feed them on the
wrong kind of food. which may lead
to susceptibility to disease and re-
sult in death. The real criterion of
the value of progressive ideas in
such matters are these is a. very

yielding row of figures. How does
the deathmte for babies today com-
pare with the years when there
were no “new-tangled notions?"
“'hy. in the eight years from 1915
to 1928 alone the infant morality
rate per thousand for the under-
one~yeapolds decreased from 100

tors. one of which is the attention
to diet. are bringing about merited
results.
Through out life diet is perhaps
the most important single factor
conductive to health. Especially in

child‘s life. The quantity and qual-
ity of a baby's food determine in a
large measure his development and
manhood‘s physique. He must be
fed regularly and adequately. One

not having: rnough to eat. Or there
is the other extreme. Feeding too
