WANTS BABY MILK STATION; Committees Meet
And Discuss Some
Proposed Measures
Dairy Inspector Bostie Beccmmendi
One in Annual Report.
CEEAT HELP TO THE INFANTS
WoiM rlare Citt Kane la
( tint, Wfca Weal Be A hi, to
AdTlae Motbers to the
Car ef Tbelr Children.
Oalry Inspector Claude F. Bossie in
liis annuel report to the health commis
sioner recommends the establishment of
a baby milk station, with a competent
nurse in charge, located In tho south
east part of the city.
Mr. Bossle says:
"The death records show that a large
percentage of the deaths among Infant
occur in the southeast section.
"The milk station should be a place
where mothers will come with their
troubles and the nurse should be pre
pared to know what to advise. If she
chows good judgment she will win the
confidence and friendship of the mother
and undoubtedly good results can be
obtained thereby.
"The fact that sixty-five, or nearly
one-half the deaths, under 1 year of age
lived less than one month after birth
shows beyond question of doubt that a
number of these would probably hare
been saved bad expectant mothers had
the opportunity to visit and consult a
competent nurse who had gained the
confidence and friendship of others.
Inspector Bossle believes the cleanli
ness of milk sold in Omaha has caused
the continued decrease of infantile
mortality. Omaha held the record In
1913 for the United States for deaths or
babies, and tho death rate has been still
further reduced for 1911.

Representatives of legislative commit
tees of seven organisations of the city
met at the Commercial club rooms, where
they went over the general plan of intro
ducing bills Into the legislature, and dis
cussed various hills that are to be Intro
duced with a view to avoiding duplica
tions, and with a view to learning of
each ether what is to be Introduced from
Omaha, so that they would not find
themselves opposed to each other in di
ametrically opposite bills after the ses
sion gets well underway. The body u!4
not go Into organisation, however, al

ings of this kind as the session prog
resses, to check over bills Introduced

DISCUSS HAY MARKET
AT COMMERCIAL CLUB
Progress toward the establishing of a
hay market or hay exchange In Omaha
was reported to the executive committee
of the Commercial club at the regular
meeting. It la reported that some little
opposition to the hay grading system Is
being encountered, as It has been pointed
out that hay below grades often makes
medium feed and can he sold for this
purpose, while If It were classified as
No. 4 hay, it would be difficult to dispose
or It or to get a bid on It at all.
The Grain exchange has appointed a
special committee to Investigate the ad
visability of conducting a hay market
under the direction of tho Oraln ex
change, which organisation In this ease
would do the weighing and Inspecting.

the harbor the morning of the German
raid, but are said by civilians to have
had no steam. It Is also charged they
were partly dismantled and had to be
towed out from the docks before they
could get Into action. At any rate they
were so slow that the Germane had ah
opportunity to shell the Martlenools for
nearly forty-five minutes before the
navy craft offered effective opposition.
Officers of the two patrol ships held a
banquet at the leading hotel In West
Hartlepool the night before the raid.
An Investigation of the navy's action
has been demanded by the mayors ot the
ruined towns.
