The Short Haul 



70 percent or city babies get their 

 food through a tube 60 miles long. 



It takes about 36 hours often 

 42 hours for the milk to run from 

 the cow end of the tube to the 

 baby end of the tube. 



This tube is open in many places 

 and baby's food is frequently pol- 

 luted. It is often wrongly kept in 

 overheated places. 



Then there may be a diseased 

 cow at the country end of the tube. 



And Yet Some People Wonder Why 



So Many Babies Die: 

 On the other hand the mother- 

 fed baby gets its milk fresh, pure 

 and healthful no germs can get 

 into it. 



To Lessen Baby Deaths Let Us Have 

 More Mother-Fed Babies. 



You can't improve on God's plan. 



For Your Baby's Sake -Nurse It! 



This illustration, taken from the Weekly Bulletin of the Chicago 

 Health Department, is an admirable type of cartoon. It is instruct- 

 ive yet excites no unpleasant sensations. It enlightens but does not 

 frighten. It illustrates very well many of the fundamental problems 

 in the milk question, and is so graphic that he who runs may read 

 the moral.
