This, our new serial story, is one of the very best written on
she present war. The first instalment will appear in an early
issue. You'll like Tommy; it is a strong, soul -stirring tale of the
great world war that everyone in the family will enjoy. The hero
is a Laneastershire lad. He didn't want to go to war—not at first.
"Let 'em as wants to fight the Germans fight 'em" said Tommy.
Then one day he heard the cry of suffering Belgiunij he heard
the call of his own motherland—he gave up the best lob he ever
had and enlisted. He went to France; he fought a good fight—
against himself as well as the enemy; he won the D.C.M. and—
the.-best girl in the world. A splendid stay splendidly bold.

OF THE PROVINCIAL BOARD OF REAurss.
INFANT WELFARIE--ARTICLE No, 1.
THIS subject is of the first importance to a new and growing country
like Canada. The care of children is of increased importance in
view of the depletion of our country of its male population by
reason of the wag'. The death fate among babies in this Province
is much too high. Ia the first year of life we lose 12 per cent. of the babies
born. While this is exceeded by some of the other provinces of Canada, it
is higher than such countries as Norway, Sweden, New Zealaad, and Aus-
tralia, whose death rate among babies in the first year of life is 65, 72, 67,
72, respectively. Why is it that Ontario's death rate is 102 instead of 50
or 607 Why is it greater than that of other couatriee? •
Cau':e of Infant Mortality. -
A good many things enter into the cause of the mortality of infants.
There is the general health of the mother and of the father, their material
prosperity, whether the mother works away from home and particularly the
care she has before the baby's birth. Then there is the knowledge of the
mother regarding the proper care of the new-born baby, as to its food,
clothing, etc. Some mothers are too young to have the responsibility of
motherhood thrust upon them, Others kill their babies with kindness, feed
them too frequently, and others again either wilfully or ignorantly decline
to nurse the baby from the breast, forgetting or ignoring the fact that
Nature's food is the best for the baby.
It has been shown by the experience of other countries that the fact as
to whether or not the mother is obliged to work out before the baby's birth
has a most pronounced effect upon the physical strength of the baby,
Similarly if the mother works away from home after the birth, thus depriv-
ing the infant of her nursing and care, the death rate will be higher. This -
factor has been found to be of greater importance than that of poverty,
though the latter la a cause of infant mortality of no small proportions.
In certain sections of London it has been found that the infant death rate
1a considerably greater where the mothers work out and where poverty is
not a factor than in other and poorer sections where the mothers are at
home,.
In many European countries insurance is provided against sickness,
including that of childbirth, and in Australia the Government gives a
premium of 15 for,every birth. What can we do to lessen the infant death -
rate in Ontarfo7 If we can do no more we can at least endeavor to educate
the mothers regarding the baby's care. In this column a series of articles
w111 he presented from time to time upon this subject, The Provincial
Board publishes a booklet upon the care of the baby which may be had upon
application.
Education in Infant Welfare.
The Provincial Board of Health realizes that one of the most important
factors in promoting the prevention of disease is Education. Consequently
the Board has established a Bureau of Public Health Education including
the promotion of Infant Welfare, The Bureau is under the direction of Miss
Mary Power, a graduate of the University of Toronto, whose energies are ,
directed towards the education of the public as to how they may keep welt
and avoid disease. Tho Board has a large number of pamphlets upon
various public health topics which will be east on request:. The Bureau 'will
be glad to answer questions relative to Infant Welfare or other Publlo
Ilealth p,
In tothelcanext article some of the factors In the protection of Infant life
will be taken up and discussed, and from time to time in this column,
simple rules regarding the care of the baba will be a feature,
