Address by Dr. Dawson
Feature of Tuesday at
Baby Week Headquarters
On Tuesday afternoon the headquar
ters for baby week conducted by the
Montgomery Federation of ' Women's
Clubs and the Anti-Tuberculosis League
Whs the gathering place of a large and
Interested crowd. Mrs. Gaston Qrell
was the capable chairman for the day
and her committee' consisted of mem
bers from the Music Club, Chautauqua
Circle, Tweptleth Century and Sesame.
At 3:30 o'clock Dr. Dawson gave a
most instructive talk on “The Second
of Infancy." Dr. Dawson stress
ed the importance of conserving infants
when the scarcity of food and medical
knowledge will soon stare the Ameri
can people In the face. He gave ap
palling statistics of infant mortality
In Belgium and Poland, where 190,000
babies have died In thirty-six days.
‘'Children,” he said, “should be made
strong, to withstand diseases during
Infancy."
In a simple heart-to-heart talk Dr.
Dawson gave common-sense facts''con
cerning the most trying period of in
fant life, from eleven months to two
and a half years. During this period
there is a decided change In the baby’s
diet and the mother is at a loss to
know wh^t to give It to eat after tak
kig It off the breast. In a most In
structive way Dr. Dawson told his au
dience what and what not to give the
baby and how to prepare It. “Wrong
food, not teething," said Dr. Dawson,
* Is the cause of Infectious diarrhoea,
or colitis."
Fiwveat Summer Diseases.
He laid particular emphasis upon
three ways for preventing summer
diarrhoea: First, to wean the baby at
twelve months of age. gradually along
the line of least resistance. Second,
to have regularity in the feeding of
Infants, four feedings four hours apart,
with mothers home at the feeding time.
Third, to underdress, rather than over
dress, the baby during the summer
months, as clothing only tends to man
ufacture heat.
He concluded his very instructive
talk with valuable suggestions for ba
by's diet at the various periods of in
fancy. Dr. Dawson was most gener
ous In answering questions from moth
ers pertaining to the feeding and care
of children. He told of the growth of
Better Baby week and of doctors ope
ration of the vast Improvement In ba
by’s health since the instigation ot
this movement in Montgomery. It is
not due to the doctors, but to educa
tion of mothers, he said. „
Dr. Watklas to Speak Friday.
* Dr. Watkins, who was to kave given
a talk, found It Impossible to be on
hand but has proposed to give it Friday
Instead, on "Observations on Child Wel
fare . ”
The remainder of the afternoon was
devoted to the examining of the Infant
wear display showing the proper cloth
ing for summer, winter, and bed-time,
the pasteurizing outfit for milk prepar
ation.
Numerous Illustrated posters on im
portaht subjects, such as baby's bath,
clothing the baby, correct breathing,
fresh air for baby, disease prevention
I are given prominent places in the ex.!
htoit, and contain valuable Information
or hints to mothers. The following list
of •'dont's” for baby's welfare Is among
other equally valuable suggestions:
Things to Avoid.
Never consult a neighbor when the
baby is sick. Ask your doctor.
Never "dope” the baby with sobthlng
syrups. They contain harmful drugs..
Never use pacifiers. They are germ
carriers. They cause protruding Safa.
Never rock, trot or toss the baby.
He is happier and healthier If kept
quiet.
Never wake the baby to show him
off. It Interferes with his growth.
Never let anyone kiss the baby on
the mouth. Diseases are carried In this
way.
Never let strong light shine In baby's
eyes. It may mean permanent Injury.
Never give the baby a "taste" of
what you are eating. Its stomach
can’t stand It.
All this valuable advice Is free to all
those mothers who will avail them
selves of this excellent opportunity to
learn modern methods of caring for ba
bies. Many bulletins Issued by the gov
ernment on certain contagious dis
eases, among them the very latest
booklet on the cause and modes of
transmission of Infantile paralysis, are
to be found at the baby week head
quarters and may be had for the ask
ing.
Admission Is Free.
These headquarters, located at t8 1-2
South Perry street, will be open in the
afternoons only from 3 until ( o’clock.
The program for Wednesday will con
sist of a talk by Dr. Gaston Greil,
at 3:30 o'clock, on "The Prevention
of Contagious Diseases Among Chil
dren." At 4:30 o'clock Miss Margaret
Hutton, one of the Red Cross nurses,
will give an explanation of a Free
man milk pasteurizer, and other meth
ods of preparing baby’s milk.
Miss Rose Steiner will be chairman
for the afternoon, and the hostesses
will be members from the Ionian Club.
The Council of Jewish Women and the
Magazine Club. „

A Prayer for the Babies—
(By Walter Kauschenbusch)
Oh. God, since Thou has laid the lit
tle children In our arms, In utter help
lessness, with no protection save our
love, we pray that the sweet appeal of
their baby hands may not be in vain.
Let no Innocent life In our city be
quenched again In useless pain through
our Ignorance and sin.
May we who are mothers or fathers
seek eagerly to Join wisdom to our
love, lest love Itself be deadly when un
guided by knowledge.
Bless the doctors and nurses and all
the friends of men who are giving of
their skill and devotion to the care of
our children.
If there are any who were klesed by
love In their own Infancy, but who have
no child to whom they may give as
they have received, grant them such
largeness of sympathy that they may
rejoice to pay their debt In full to all
children who have need of them.
Forgive us, our Father, for-the heart
lessness of the past.
Grant us great tenderness for all
babies who suffer; and a growing sense
of the Dl.-lne mystery that Is brooding
in the soul of every child. Amen!

iest congratulations upon reaching his

A. parlors. Important mattfrs will be
discussed and members are urgently
requested to attend.
IF I HAD KNOWN.
If I had seen that home from which he
came.
Bare, cheerless, drear, and darkly
desolate,
I should have had more charity—oh,
shame
That I should turn him friendless
from my gate!
If I had known his yearnings for the
good:
And how he fought hts losing light
alone,
If all his doubtlngs I had understood,
I should have stayed his steps--!! I
had known.
I did not know: and when the tempter
came,
Speaking with evil questions In his
heart.
He faltered—fell, I was the one to
blame—
I, who had failed to act a brother's
part.
