in inf.mi mortality, unlf”’* m 'l' : *' itomlnutul in the feedings. '1 That the situ’Hon is desperate Is shown in the reports of social work- [ ers during the past few weeks. In New York City the mayor’s com ( mlttee on milk, reports that the total j supply has been reduced 25 per cent and that the consumption of milk in certain parts of the city has been re- ( ducetl by half. In the analysis of ' milk consumed by 2200 families it is | shown that among them there were 5433 children under six years of age. I ’ and 2534 from 6 io 13 years old. milk estimated to be adequate f it' these families was 8194 quarts, where-! as the amount actually purchased was 3193 quarts. Os 120 families who dropled milk entirely 73 substituted can ' ned condensed milk, and 121.1 of 1480 families visited were substituting| Iu a and t offee. Children under six. years old were found in 2148 cases to he drinking tea and coffee. For babies under one year old the amount of milk | pureiiasrd wit less than that tit la. t year in more than hall' lhe familll ■Twenty-live families with babies have ceased altogether to buy milk. In I’hiladelphia social workers report that many of the poorer mothers| have practically given up buying milk. I The Children's Bureau estimat's hat every child under six should, have al least a pint anil a half of milk daily. To meet the situation disclosed by ihese reports constant efforts will !>■; made by the Children's Bureau to induce families lo buy the requircl Irmount of milk. Except in cases _ where the cost of milk is really prohibitive for the very poor, it is i>»- | lleved that families can be educated t< realize the absolute necessity of buy , ing milk for their children. That I mothers will procure even at a aacri-' fee that which is essential for their, babies was shown in the educational i campaign undertaken a few years ago by the New York Milk Committee to leach mothers the importance of clean milk. Once convinced that baby's j life might be the price of cheap milk: I even the very poorest insisted on buy- ( i ing grade A certified milk in spite ot , the increased cost. That milk will have to be supplied at public expense for families who cannot afford to buy it while the present emergency lasts, is the conclusion of the Children’s Bureau. TO WAR ORPHANS - Sunday Schools Asked to Give Up Candy, Toys and Trees. 100,000 ARE DESTITUTE Indiana Schools Will Contribute to ArmenianSyrian Relief Fund. Indianapolis, Dec. 12 The Indiana! Sunday School Association, with lie.:-; j quarters at Indianapolis, Is asking the 5.400 schools under r.s jurisdiction toj give up their usual Christmas luxuries this year and get down to a war basis by eliminating gifts of toys, candy and decorated trees and to give the money , which goes for these things to a fund ; for the 400.000 destitute and starving, war orphans of Armenia and Syria | ■ who have been deported to the deserts; jof northern Arabia. The money of the Indiana schools will go into the national fund of $1,000,000 which the Sunday schools of the United States are raising, and this becomes a pan of a general national fund of $30,000.(100 for the relief of stricken Arnn i-‘" inns and Syrians, whose homes have 1 een destroyed and who have been banished from the Holy Land. Since the two peoples are without a government. the United States government can not make a loan to them, as has been done to Belgium and other conn-! tries. Since each Indiana Snuday school j spends at least $5.00 or SIO.OO for ; Christmas luxuries for the children. , it is estimated by the Indiana association that $25,000 or more t an be raised ■ for the homeless, hungry children of . the Holy Land., . No nations have suffered from the . war as have the Armenians and Syr- . ians. At least 1,000,000 of them have . been killed by the barbarous Turks 1 ; or have perished on their way Into : exile. In the streets of Jerusalem, : along the old Jerico road which Christ : made immortal by his parable of the : Good Samaritan and beyond the river [Jordan into the Syrian desert the an- : cient races of Christianity are praying to America for help. By giving 1 up their Christmas luxuries to the relief fund, the Sunday schools of Indi- : ana will re-enact the old story of The ( Good Samaritan in a most practical ), Way ’ I L Democrat Want Ads Paj
