Copeland, Urging Mothers to Watch Constantly Over Little Folk’s Food. By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Senator from New York. Fortner Commissioner of Health, New York City. IT is necessary to use eternal vigilance if baby’s health is to "be' guarded against watchful enemies. I wish it' were possible to make health “catching,” instead of having to worry over the dozens of diseases that may be caught. since me reeding oi me nany is me roost important part of its life, strict attention must be given the feedings and the food. There are two things that must be kept in mind every hour of the day—the proper care of the feeding bottles and the proper care of the food. Atten tion to these will ward off disease. Spoiled milk is the chief cause of illness in young children. I am sorry to say it is one of the chief causes of death. Knowing this fact, it behooves us to take not the slightest chance. The first thing to do is to find a place where milk of known purity can be purchased. Tnis is not difficult in a large city where the public health appropriations are large enough to make possible the supervision of the milk, from its place of production, right up to your very threshold. DR COPELAND « is more aniicuit m smaller communities Ton must make sure you are doing your best in this matter. Talk with your doctor, the county health official, or somebody who can really give accurate information regarding the milk. It is vital to the welfare of your child that clean milk, from a healthy cow, is pro vscsv-ui »ciT.uug. I am Horry that the popular Idea about milk is that its "richness" is what determines its value. You may be shocked to learn the "cream line" is of little importance In selecting milk for an infant. The milk from any cow Is too rich. It must be diluted with water to make it like human mTlk. So the quantity of cream does not count much. The Important thing Is to make sure the milk is free from dangerous germs or haoteria. It must come from a healthy cow. It must he cooled at once after the milking and be kept at low temperature from that time tlU It la time t* prepare the baby's mixture. Just how safe this milk will con tinue to be. depends on the tempera ture at which It is kept. Harmful (terms do not multiply much so long as the temperature Is below SO de grees. If milk that is good to be gin with, la kept at this point, it will stay ^ood for twenty-four hours, until the next supply Is delivered. Attention to the feeding bottles and the milk will go far towards good health for your baby Tou must not overlook this for a single day. Oorrrlcnl ISM. Knew r**iurf StrOos. tee.
