STATES BABIES DIE NEEDLESSLY SOUTH CAROLINA HAS HIGHEST INFANT MORTALITY RATE. Effort to Reduce. One Hundred and Thirteen Out of Every Thousand Lost.?(Tiild Bureau to Campaign. Latest reports from the census bureau show that South Carolina has x 1? u:?i-v^litv rate of Clit? Illgiicsi nuaut uiui . any state in the union. Out of every 1,000 babies born in this state 113 die before they are a year old. Mrs. Ruth Dodd, of the bureau of child hygiene, says that something must be done to cut down this appalling figure. The South Carolina bureau of child hygiene is not willing to see this state lose needlessly 113 of every 1,000 of its babies, and it is going to start a 10-weeks campaign to educate the mothers and fathers of the state as to the proper care of their children so that this death rate can be lowered. Mrs. Dodd says that the time to start taking care of the baby is before he is born. The life, health and devAinnmpnt of the rhild depend largely on the health and protection of the mother. The right start in life depends upon: Sufficient income for family needs, health and right living of parents, protection of the expectant mother from overwork, underfeeding and worry, skilled supervision of pregnancy and confinement, rest and adequate care during the lying-in period, breast feeding, intelligent mother care in the home. A mother can injure the child she carries just as much during the nine months before birth as during the nine months after birth^ Two hundred and fifty thousand babies die every year in the United States before they reach their first birthday. More than half of these babies die from causes related to the health and condition of the mother. One hundred thousand babies die before they are one month old. Most of these are the babies who are born too weak, too injured or too diseased to live. Some of these little ones die because their mothers did not know how to safeguard their breast milk or appreciate the impor tance of breast feeding. Physicians oint out that child bearing is a natural process, and if the mother has proper care there should result very few deaths. However. in 1018, 23,000 women in the United States lost their lives from causes incidental to child birth. Practically a'l of these deaths were preventable. One mother dies in every 50 cases of child birth: one child in every 20 live born does not live six weeks. (Governors Elected. Arizona?T. E- Campbell Rep. Arkansas?Thomas E. McRae....Dem.
