SAVE THE BABIES
GREAT LOSS OF INFANT LIFE IN BRITAIN EQUAL TO THE CASUALTIES OP WAR • > London, July 3. Lord lthondda, Food Controller, speaking at a "Buby Week." meeting, said that two 'thousand babies' under twelve months old, and three thousand under live months, were lost every week owing to the want of knowledge of the necessaries of life. A thousand of them might have been saved by cleaner and healthier homes and better food. Greater caro on the part of the mothers would have prevented the rejection of a million men for the Army since the war began. Mr. H. A. L. Fisher, Minister of Education, deplored the fact ."that a hundred thousand children were stillborn every year. This was equal to the casualties of a great campaign. Housing reform, ho said, was urgently , needed. Every cottage, should have a hot water 6ystem and a gas stove.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Asen.
