TELLA WINSLOW, Notars Public, Cook County, Illinois ie aa TITAte | rectly on hers. WINNETKA WILL HAVE "WELL BABY CLINIC" (Continued from page 3) His development and vigor have depended on hers before birth and afterwards he requires a gen- erous supply of nature's food for ba- bies, which mothers alone can provide. Breast fed babies have only one-fourth of the illness experienced by artifically fed babies. It is a great insurance against illness. ~*~ So mothers must be advised as to their own health that they. may keep an unfailing supply of nour- ishment for their little dependents. However, there comes a time sooner or later when this natural food must be supplemented with other things. In searching for a substitute for mother's milk we naturally look to another mother, but the supply is limited in all directions except that of our friend the cow. She is generously supplying vast quantities of one of our most complete and health giving foods. However, it is an animal product which decomposes easily and quickly, it is a natural me- dium for bacteria to grow and it is the only animal food that is consumed in any quantity without sterilization by cooking. So if not obtained, handled and used under the best conditions it may be a great source of infection and disease. So the second great essen- tial for infant welfare is a good milk supply. Finally the child itself receives our attention. The adage that babies should eat, sleep and grow is correct, but it does not guide worried mothers through troublesome times. It is cor- rect in that growth may be considered one of the proofs that a baby is getting enough food of the right quality. So if the baby is weighed regularly we will learn much of its progress, whether it is good or bad, increasing or decreas- ing. If not good the mother wants to know what 1s lacking in nourishment or care. Watch Digestive System The load of work thrown on the di- gestive system of the infant is great for he must consume and digest three times the proportion of food that an adult requires. Nature demands that he double his weight in a few months, so it is no wonder that the greater cause of death except abnormalities among babies during their first year of life should be digestive troubles. The foods must be well adapted to the needs and administered properly. The great adjustment of a babe to its new environment has other problems beside foods. Tt is suddenly cast among individuals who are harboring many varieties of germ life. These they thoughtlessly or unavoidably hand to the little stranger and he finds himself struggling to take care of a load of these donations. These are mostly in the form of respiratory diseases and we find these as the third great cause of infant mortality. These tiny para- sites however find the best foothold in those babies whose nourishment is not the best. Those who have been denied the right to be breastfed are among this group as well as others whose di- gestive systems have been unable to meet the demands of adjustment to the heavy work required by growth. These infections produce all degrees of disa- bility. The more strenuous lead to poisonings and destructions that if per- sistent may cause permanent defects such as heart, lung or kidney diseases. We must discover. these early and get their correction before the defect be- comes permanent and another indi- vidual goes on thru life unable of ac- complishing full physical development. Such are the vicissitudes of infancy. There is a great responsibility not only for the family but for the community. The parent usually feels this and de- sires to do his utmost, but it is special knowledge he requires and it must be given by those who are qualified. Now we come to two questions. Is it the responsibility of the community to see that the children have the privilege of full development physically as well as mentally; to see they have advice in health as well as in education? Is the protection of health as essential as that of property, against thievery or secur- ity of person against violence? With the progress of science in the recent decades a greater responsibility is placed on the physician than in years past. He must use laboratory findings, X-ray advice and clerical assistance in his cases. The costs of these things are high. Many of us cannot employ them except when necessity demands. Tt is the advice when to employ these things that many mother's desire. The checkup on growth and development, interpretation of symptoms, and advice in hygienic methods and results to be expected will be of great help. The discovery of incipient disease and plac- ing the patient in the hands of the family physician early is of advantage to both the patient and physician. Many of us believe that there lies the responsibility of the community. Tt is to help people decide when their children need medical care and to direct them to it before defects are perman- ent. The right for full and normal de- velopment must be the privilege of each individual. States Object of Clinic Such is the object of the Well Baby clinic; to advise in all things pertaining to the health of infants; to treat di- sease not at all, but to direct them to their physician when treatment is needed. A survey of Winnetka shows a group who would welcome such ad- vice and who do not have their chil- dren attended regularly by their fam- ily physician. To this group the Health Department wishes to be of service as advisor. The Well Baby She will hold its opening session July 7, 2 p. m., in the Health department at the Village hall. Tt will meet on Thursdays at the same hours thereafter until further notice. We feel it is necessary that the mother accompany the infant at each clinic visit. Dr. George F. Munns will be attend- ing Pediatrist. He will be anxious to advise and give information as to methods of care and feeding. Anyone wishing to get further in- formation or to enroll may call Miss Queen at the Health department." U. S. Navy Film Service Now Becomes World Wide The United States Navy is making good use of motion pictures as the favorite recreation of the sailors at sea. The Navy has 1,200 complete eight reel programs in duplicate and 1,500 triplicate with almost 3.800 reels of short subjects, comedies, and cartoons. Simultaneously with the release of pictures to the large motion picture theaters, the Navy starts two prints of the latest features on circuits over which the film travels for three years before being returned for storage. The reels travel from ship to ship until every vessel of the fleet has had the picture in turn. Then the various naval stations get the picture. Everv vessel going to Alaska carries a supply of films for the men on duty at naval radio stations and the Navy films are usually the only ones to reach those isolated outposts. In a recent syndicated article, Mr. Greer declared: "The farm family, which traditionally lived in isolation, is now able to step from the narrow round of the humdrum into the life of European capitals, or of the thrills of melodrama, or any other phrase of movie house life that its nearest chances to be presenting.
