Thursday, July 25, 1935 ADVICE ON CARE OF INFANTS GIVEN BY SURRY HEALTH DEPT. 1 Intestinal Disturbances Reach Peak At This Time of Year DEATH RATE HIGH Each year at this time Infantile intestinal disturbances -reach their peak in both frequency and severity. It was pointed out by the county health department that in June 1935 167 babies under two years of age died in North Carolina of diarrhea and enteritis alone. In June, 1934, the number was even higher—l 92. This should be alarming, ' the health department points out, but adds that much can be done to pre vent this unnecessary loss of life. However, most of the preventative measures must be accomplished by parents as unfortunately, the health department has no vaccine to pro tect a baby against the carelessness and ignorance of its parents. Broadly speaking, it was stated, there are two general groups of in fantile diarrhea, the first group be ing caused by improper food, im proper feeding schedule, spoiled food, excessive heat due to the weather or too much clothing or to a hot house; infection somewhere in the body such as an ear infection, pneu monia, sore throat, etc. It should be remembered that, there is a cause for a baby's "sum mer complaint." "Teething" by it self is ever the real cause—and a physician should be consulted. The sec:md group is caused by specific germs which get intq, the baby's body in one of the following three ways: unboiled milk, impure water, or by flies. Some general rules for infant care, as pointed out by the health department, follow: never give raw milk to children. For children under 2 years all milk should be b°^ slowly three minutes before using. This does not harm the milk, but does protect the baby against disease germs which may cause death. Nip ples and bottles should be boiled, too. Pure water should be given the baby. If there is any doubt of its purity, it should be boiled. - 1 Keep flies away from the baby ' and its food. To neglect this is criminal. Screening isn't expensive. Feeding schedules must be pre scribed by a physician for the in dividual child. What was good for the first seven children isn't neces sarily good for the new baby. Cod liver oil and orange juice or tomato juice, if given properly, are essential to the health of any baby. Never ■ over tax the infant's digestive sys- " tem by irregular feedings. Never give a child under four years fried or greasy food or .corn. Remember breast fed infants rare ly develop severe intestinal disturb ances. On a hot day the baby needs al- j most no clothing. Outdoor heat is less harmful than that in the house. ! Remove the clothing. Sponge the baby with cool water on real hot days. Dysentery is contagious. The sick child must be kept away from other children., When your baby has "summer complaint" diarrhea remember that this caused more deaths last year than any other single cause of death, and call your family physi cian. For if the rate of infant deaths for last year is continued it means that seven each 100 infants will die.

Farmers Paid the Huge Sum of $13,042,- i 898.44 In 10 Months | During the period from July 1 1934 through May 31,1935, the Agri cultural Adjustment Administration " had paid North Carolina farmers in 1 rental and benefit payments the huge sum of $13,042,898.44. ! These payments consisted of ' $4,615,754.76 for the cotton program; $51,192.12 for the wheat program; $7,674,014.12 for the tobaeco program and $701,937.44 for the corn hog program. In addition to these payments, the AAA has paid, during the same period, the snm of $1,011,607 98 to county and commun ity committeemen and to various engaged in compliance work arid clerical work in the crop adjust ment program. Many of the persons benefiting from this latter payment were those needing work and were largely from farms of the State. A study of AAA work in North Carolina this year also reveals that farmers are cooperating in the ad justment program more heartily than ever before. Few violations of con tracts have been found by those now engaged in compliance activity. The growers have planted the acreage they agreed to plant and the few instances where there has been over planting has been due largely to errors in estimating the acreage. Extension warkofs also report that | farme.s are deeply concerned about ; the future of the AAA program. The numerous attacks designed to | destroy the program by eliminating | the processing taxes are reported to be attracting the attention of the business farmers. Their votes in the recent referenda show positively that thay want the adjustment con tinued and they are hopeful that the amendments now before Con gress will make the original Act con titution so that the program will nofl be hampered in the future. « * PRIESTS WARNED Berlin, July 21.—Warned by the ministry of the interior, Catholic priests throughout the reich today kept from their sermons all refer ences to the nazi drive on "political Catholicism."
