BABY SAVING TO BE BIG SUMMER JOB OF HEALTH BUREAU City Authorities and Pure Milk So ciety Plan Campaign of Education | Preparations are now under way by the Health Bureau and the Harrisburg Society for Providing Pure Milk for Babies for a summer campaign look in gtoward the preservation of the lives of infants. It is believed that the campaign, which will be one both of education and practical assistance, will result in the reduction of infant mortality during the summer months. During 1913 from July 1 to October 1 fifty Infants under 2 years of age died, and in some cases the deaths might have been prevented had proper sani tary and hygienic precautions been used, say the health autliorities. The first essential toward the pre servation of the lives of the babies during the hot weather is that abso lutely pure milk be secured. For this purpose the pure milk society has com pleted arrangements with a milk prod ucts company to furnish its certified milk—which is as nearly pure as hu man safeguards can make it—to those unable to obtain it in any other way, at a considerably reduced price. The distribution will be under the direc tion of the Visiting Nurse Association. A station will probably be established downtown, in addition to one main tained at the headquarters of the as sociation, at 1109 Green street. Cnni|>aign of Kdiication In addition to this means of safe guarding the welfare of the babies a campaign of eduueation will be under taken with a view to showing mothers the necessity of cleanliness and prac tical wavs of caring for the child. Books on "The Child," printed in Eng lish, German. Italian, French, Polish and Hebrew will be distributed by the Health Bureau. In addition the bureau is engaged in compiling a list of hot weather "don'ts" and "do's" for dis tribution in quarters where most needed.
