N ' More than one thousand infants under the age of one year annually die in Utah. A large pro- portion of this frightful waste of life 13 absolutely unecessary, as it surely could be prevented by proper care and management. An appeal is made to mothers on whom chiefly rests the salvation of the baby, to acquaint themmethselves with the ods of child hygiene made known by modern science and to faithfully apply them, in place of the antiquated and irrational customs which are so destructive to infant life. Infant mortality is vastly increased during the summer months. Hot weather lowers the vitality of the child and exerts an injurious effect upon its food; and it is necessary to observe the most rigid precautions in order to prevent grave danger.In no class of diseases are preventive measures more effective than in the deadly summer complaints of infants; and there can be no question that many lives may be saved by the intelligent observance of the following rules: Breast feeding, -- The danger to an infant during the hot season is very greatly lessened by breast feeding. Mother's milk is the only natural and shoulb always be used if possible. A child's chance of 'living is materially diminished by resorting to any substitute, anda vast majority of deaths from diarr-hoedisease occur in bottle-fe- d infants. Following the birth of a child. If the mother's milk is insufficient every effort should be made to promote its flow. She should take an abundance of wholesome life-savi- ng " j al , food? especially milk. Nursing exerts a powerful effort upon the milk secretion and the baby should be placed at the breast regularly every three hours from the time of birth. Immediately after birth do not give an infant condensed milk or other foods while waiting for the breast mil to appear-t- o do so is harmful. If the breast milk continues to be insufficient, mixed feeding should be adopted; by this is meant a small amount of food after each nursing. This plan is much better than that of alternating the breast feeding with the bottle fetdings, and should always be followed. Bottle feeding, modified milk. For mixed feeding, and as a substitute, where weaning is unavoidable, cow's milk so modified as to t1 similar to mother's milk In the proportions of fat, sugar and proteid, should always be used. ' It must be emphasized that modified cow's milk is the best available substitute for mother's milk. If correctly modified itis more likely to agree with the 1 (Centfnmi pm I j OF Dr. WIdtsoe Tells How It Should Be Done. . BOARD OF HEALTH 1 h piieut uss. WASTE in i to THAT WATER UTAH. i STOP A young advertising philosopher sprung on me the other day the following epigrams: "When business is good advertise some to get more." "When business is bad advertise more to get some." There ia much wisdom in Stop that waste of water! It those phrases. How many of is going on from Richmond in us have heard merchants say the north to St. George in the " Oh! I do not need to adversouth. A trifle over one Der cent of our lands is under cul tise. Business is good. I am tivation 99 per cent are waiting doing all I can do." to be redeemed, and we dare to How many of us have heard waste water! By waste of water. I mean the use of more water than is need ed for the profitable production of crops: and the maintenance of leaky uncared for canals that allow the seepage of to one-ha- lf of all the water that enters them. Careless of our own good, and the prosperity of our children, we stand idly by and watch in apathetic silence g the waste of water; or worse still, unmindful of our brother's right, or ignorant of the harm we do, we, ourselves, by our own hands and by our own direction sanction the waste of water. Stop it! Stop it now! I trust that ignorance is chiefly responsible for this waste. Every western farmer knows how essential water is for the production of crc,ps, and misguided by the idea that the more applied, the larger the yield, he uses every endeavor to obtain the greatest possible amount of water for hu fields. With the present development of know ledge, such ideas are no longer justifiable. Experiment and skillful practice have demon strated beyond question, that ex cessively large irrigations actually decrease the yield of all the ordinary farm crops. Considering the value of water light irrigations are the most profitable; and the farmer who, instead ol drowning the plants on one field, waters moderately two or three fields, well get much larger, returns for the capital and labor invested. Note as an illustration one of the many similar results obtained at the Utah Experiment Station. One acre of sugar beets to which had been added water enough during the season to cover the land to a depth of 30 inches, yielded 19 tons of sugar beets. Two acres which received together as much water as was added to the first acre alone, yielded 30 tons of beets; an increase of 11 tons, due to the wise use of water. It is a fairly safe rule to follow that on the majority of the crain fields of this state, not more water should be added than would cover the land to a death of 10 inches, if applied at one lime. On clayed soils, much less would be better. For sugar beet and other similar crops, 15 inches of water would probably be ample, and for grasses. 7.& or fewer inches would suffice. Actual tests made by the U. S. Department of Agriculture have shown that the use of water in this state, averages over 40 in ches per season, that is two or three times as much as would yield the best results. But aside from diminution of n crop yield does As the irreparable damage. 4 Is saturated, and saturated again with water, the valuable plant foods of the soil are washed down lower and lower, until the ground water is reached. one-four- life-givin- over-irrigatio- th the same merchant say "Oh! Business is very bad. I couldn't get people to come to my store now if I offered them gold dollars for seventy-fiv- e cents. It won't pay me to ad- vertise." Except in very rare instances every business is unsuccessful that is not advertised. Some advertising must be done to keep any business on the jump. It wont' thrive without it. Advertising must.be continuous. On this subject I had a talk with a jeweler the other day who spends a Koodly sum in advertising, but he bunches it all in a couple of months in the spring and three months in the fall. I told him that it was my con viction that he could spend the same amount ol money, using more newspapers, covering every month in the year and get a better result That is to say, if he spends $40,000 and that is about what he does, spend he could use good-size- d space in several newspapers every week in the year, including a couple of pages in the spring and fall, and I am certain that the increase in his business would be far greater than by bunching his space as he now does. My experience is that the business that is advertised all the year round thrives the best. Tribune. BOOST TOUR I0UE JULY 7. GUINEA WHEN TO ADVERTISE. TDWK. ''TIMES PIGS LAWN AD W READ IN THE HOMES OF NEJ'HI, LEV AN, MONA, JUAB and MILLS, 1911 ARE NO. 'GOOD IMS WPE1IK 41 WAS MOWERS. That is surely good news which comes from Britian in the form of an announcement that guinea pigs are being utilized in Kent as lawn mowers. Many a tired householder here, whose practice of handling the mower is all too arduous and none too artistic will rejoice to learn that the, experiment of using live animals as lawn mowers is to be extended to golf club grounds and may possibly become quite general. Consul Taylor at Nottingham transmits the messhge that tells of the novel idea of substituting the guinea pigs for the mowing machine and the weedkiller. He says that a low wire barrier is arranged around the lawn and the guinea are turned in the or, better, a passage is made from their hutch to the lawn. The animals at once attack all the worst weeds the plantains first, then the dandelions and daisies. These broad-leave- d plants, which no mowing machine will touch, are killed by the presistent cutting by the guinea pigs' teeth. When they have finished the weeds, which are broad-leave- d and succulent, to the grass. In a they proceed time the lawn looks as if short it had been cut by the closest machine. The persistent cutt ing of the leavea kills the weeds, which can stand almost any other treatment, but does no harm to the grass. One lawn, formerly a mass of weeds, has been made to grow nothing but the finer grasses. Another is still under process of treatment The half of it in which the guinea pigs were first set to work has been cut quite even and very close. For golfing it is as fast again as it was under the administration of the moving machine, and not a weed is visible. The other half, where the animals have just been turned loose, is a mass of dandelions. In this neighborhood it has been found that the guinea pigs do not suffer at all by being left to weeds in winter as well as in summer. Indeed they are healthier than under the usual treatment of those to keep them as pets. An astonishing demand for the animals has grown up in the neighborhood, and if the Inland golf clubs, which have great difficulties with plantains, take to the new method the guinea-pi- g population is likely to go up the ratio that the natural fecundity of tne animal suggests.
