CENSUS BUREAU SHOWS THE CITY CHILD HEALTHY Poor-Year Trend In City's Favor Continues As Figure* Are Pro To Show Rural Infant SfortaOlty Rate Hi*ho* Washington?The census bureau set off another Wast today under the old idea that more country than' ?city children survive beyond their i first year: Now It's the city child, who Is healthiest. Backing up Its statement with - figures, the bureau unfolded for the first time provisional 1933 data to show 57.1 infant deaths per 1,000 population' in cities of 10,000 or more, against 58.9 Infant deaths per thousand*1/1 less populous areas. This-Continues a four-year trend In the city's faror. Prior to 1929, the year the depres sion struck, theu rban Infant mor tality rate invariably exceeded the rural. Since then, the rural has been in The trend pf city children being healthier than country does not hold true for all .parts of the nation,' however. When studied by "states the figures show country babies still | displaying more vitality than city, babies all through the south, and In much of the central and eastern; section. ? Whether the depression has had any affect on the Infant death rate, country or city. Is highly problema tical. In a few places, such as the drought-stricken - Dakotas, hard times would seem to have been harder on country babies than city] babies. - ^ Miss Katharine Lenroot, acting, chief of the children's bureau, said the general hypothesis Is that city mothers probably have been reach ed to a greater extent by health ed ucation than country mothers have. "Public health nurses and medical care are more available in the city," she added. "Many cities have made II a definite champaign against infant] mortality."

Back In 1018, 108 city babies per 1,000 died; as against! only 04 country babies per 1,000. Ten ( years later the scales had nearly balanced?60 city, 68 country. The! next year, they tilted the other way:; 66 city, 68 country. -* I The provisional 1033 totals com-, plied today were: Births In oities of 10j000 popula-J , tton or more, 043,035; deaths under ?one year, 53.838, or 57.1 death* per 1,000 live births. _ _L_ -1 Births in rest of country, 1,137,508; deaths under one year, 17,045, or, 48.9 deaths-per 1,000 live birth*. I Arkansas gave country children' their highest differential: 81.7 flty; deaths per 1,000 live births, against i 21.7 country deaths. With Florida babies It was a toss, up; 62.0 deaths per 1,000 live births in cities of over 10,000 and outside, them. At the other end of the scale was Nevada. City areas showed but 45.8 |deaths per 1,000 live births com-! pared with 80.8 In the country. | Out In Washington and Oregon where new Infant mortality lows were established, city children had a slight edge. Other states showing a decided survival balance In the city's favor were: California, Colorado, Dela-j. ware, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Wyoming. ? North Carolina had an urban mor tality of 87.6 as compared with a rural mortality of 61.7. In South Carolina the urban figures were 98.2, compared with 75.2 in rural dls t rlsts. U. S.

RIGHT FOODS NEEDED FOR GOOD HEALTH If adults are to feel well and be able to work, and If children are to be healthy, they must have enough of the right kind of food, says Miss Mary E. Thomas, extension nutri tionist. A low-cost diet for a farm family should include milk, butler and bread for the children at every meal. Every day the table should have a cereal such as oat meal, whole wheat, or corn meal prepared -In porridges or puddings. Potatoes and tomatoes or oranges Should be serv ed dally, along, with green or yel low vegetables. Adults need milk at least once a dgy. Two to ? four times a week the meals should Include raw tomatoes, cabbage, or fruits; dried beans or peas, eggs, lean meats, liver, sal mon. fresh fish or cheese. Pats should be used In some form at every meal. Butter may be used sparingly if necessary. Patback may be used instead of bacon. The drlpplhgs from the pan when fat' meat JtaT fried may be saved to us? in cooking other foods. Eggs are epeclally Important to young children; they need eggs every day. Fruits should be eaten when possible, but canned or dried fruits are healthful, also. Vegetables that can be eaten raw are healthful and of importance in low-cost diets. A restricted diet for a family of two adults and two children should contain each week the following or their equivalent: 13 pounds of flour and cereals, 10 quarts of milk, 10 pounds of potatoes, 1 1-2 pounds of dried beans, peas or nuts, 2 pounds of tomatoes or citrus fruits, 3 pounds of leafy green or yellow veg etables, 1 1-4 pounds of dried fruits, 2 pounds of other vegetables and fruits, 2 1-2 pounds of fats such as butter, lard, and salF pork, 2 1-2 pounds sugar and molasses, 1 1-2 pounds lean meat or flsh, and 3-4 dozen eggs. UNLAWFUL WAY TO SELL WEED More care In weighing producers' l tobacco will be In evidence this sea- t son under provisions of the code 1 adopted by warehousemen and ap-'t proved by President Roosevelt. It I The code provided that all to-; Nicco offered (or nit- shall be veighed br ? licensed welghman tod that scale* shall be tested dally luring the marketing season. The code further provides that Hiyers shall pay (or the tobacco on he basis of weights at the time the obacco Is taken from the srare louse Door rather than on th^ ba ds of what It weighs after It has >een transported to the factory. The last mentioned provision pro tects the warehouseman and rightly' so. Heretofore the warehouse was held responsible for tobacco that wam lost or misplaced on the floor, or while In transit. Now the licensed weighman's figures will stand. Under a recent law passed In this State, it Is unlawful for any firm, person or corporation in weigh ing tobacco for sale to permit or allow the basket and truck upon tobacco Is placed for the purpose of obtaining sucli weight to vary more than two pounds from the standard or uniform weight of such basket and truck.' Violation of this law carries a ISO penalty and SO days in Jail. ^ Vote Or Pay Fine In Argentina. South America, males of voting age must vote or pay a fine.
