Women will know,
This to be True!

Haven’t you found this to be trus—that one batch of flour will

give you certain results but that the next time you bought the -

same brand your results would be quite different. Now, the
big en companies employ chemists to sea: that “their flours
are ke
thoraughly pure but of a variable standard. Think what this
means in the effectiveness of your doctor’s prescreptions.

Ormes buy their drugs only from manufacturers _
who guarantee that their products are not only 100

er cent, pure, but that their strength is as unvary-
ing as the daily round of the sun:

THE FUTURE OF THE RACE

| A frequent criticism of public health

work is that the saving of infant
lives is not desireable, because it re-
sults in the presetvation of the unfit.
’ Public health work is not carried
on with the idea of preserving the unfit
The best reply the the criticism is a
consideration of what has occurred.

In England and Wales, a great deal
of public health work has been done,
and accurate vital statics have been
kept for. many years. From these vital
statics, we find that, during the past
years, the infont deaths have been re-
dueed by one-half. In 1875, there were
153 infant deaths amongst every thous-

land infants born: in the year 19286,

and we suggest you see them

‘fare many infant deaths

the infant. deaths amounted to only
70 per 1,600 births,

If such results meant the preserva-
tion of the unfit, of wenklings, it would
be raesonable to expect an increase in
Geoths of children from one to five
years.
What actually results. from the
proper care of infants is that not only
prevented,
but also a great deal of sickness in
this age group. .

That the prevention of sickness
amongst infants means healther chitd-
ren is proven by the fact that the
death rate amongst children, from one

‘Ite five years, has decreased as the in-

fant death rate has decreased. In En-
gland and Wales, their vital. statics
show an even greater decrease among
the older children than among the in-
fants.

The protection of infants is one of

ren and robust adults.
