**IMPOSSIBLE DOUBLE TASK."

The subject discussed at the resumed Con- ference on Infant Welfare, organised by the National Association for the Prevention of Infant Mortality and the National Baby Week Council, at Caxton Hall, Westminster, on July 4th, was the Maternity Convention passed by the Washington Conference in 1919.

Dr. Constance Ellis, of Melbourne, Australia, who presided, said that in 1013 the Commonwealth Government brought in a bill for maternity benefit by which every woman on production of proof of the birth of her child received £5 from the Governo ment. That money was claimed by about per cent of the mothers. It had not been found that there was "any appreciable the infantile, death rate, improvement in

and it was under consideration whether the money or

or an even larger amount, could not be better applied in ante natal work.

Methods of ensuring the paid leisure for expectant mothers provided for by the Washington Convention were discussed in a paper by Dr. Rhoda Adamson. Miss Olive Haydon, Londen, pointing out that the Convention provided only for wonten engaged in industry, said, that there should be a maternity benefit given to every wuntan who bore child quite irrespective of whether she or her husunod was insured or not. The house keeping mother should also join in these benefits. The home. keeping mother worked quite as hard as the industrial mother.

Dr. Scartell, Medical Officer of Health for Shellield, said that he had tromendous sym- pathy with the industrial mother, but wished there were fewer of them. (Bear, hear) It was impossible for a woman to undertake the double task of bread winner and home-maker. If they took the diary of some of the work ing women with children they would find the only time they had for rest was when the children wer

were packed off to Sunday school. That was not the life that any woman should asked to lead, quite apart from the disas trous effect on the children The doctor reed that the benefit should be applied

to all mothers,

The conference approved a motion recom- mending the Central Committee to take some definite action in connection with the

on Conference.

Hon. Sir Arthur Stanley, chairman of the Joint Council British Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John, and of thp" Central Council for Infant and Child Wel- fare, presided at the concluding session of the conference in the afternoon, when a dis- cussion took place on housing in relation to infant welfare. Sir Arthur aid I had had an opportunity during the last few days of visiting some of the centres connected with St. Thomas's Hospital, and he had also had an opportunity of seeing some of

of the houses from which those children came. He confessed that what he aw simply appalled him. One thing he noticed in the centres he had visited was that, although the children came from the slum

of the very wort

the

areas they seemed to look well and to be healthy. The only possible explanation of that was that the education

tion of

the mothers, tha great care and devotion that they paid to the welfare of their was counterreting the very advarse stances in which they were being brought up. That was very largely due to the National Association for the Prevention of Infant Mortality and the National Baby Weck Council. Thair work could not be counted in either figures or money, but they had undoubtedly come in to help to Save the younger generation.

Dr. Marian Cockerell (Borough of St. Pancras said that the inevitable dirt of ninst tenement house was appalling, and a serious source of the transmission of disease.

INSENSATE DAILY SCRUBBING WITH BRISTLES.

In there danger in the toothbrash, as well as in the dead tooth?

Sir John O'Conor, E.R.E., M.D.,.does not believe in the hard scrubbing of the teeth with bristles, and declares in the Lancet

I have come to the conclusion that a large percentage of human woe, such sa pyorrhoea, dental caries, gastric pollution, and organie décomposi- appendicitis tion in general is caused by the insane daily scrubbing of teeth with bristles, and by the insane use of chemical dentifrices. Both of these lacerate and mortify the living tissue destroy epithelial defence, and provide the entrance for hostile german.

I earnestly invite attention to the handi- cap this kind of thing imposes on the natural disinfectants-saliva and mucus.

In ventilating this opinion I do not wish it to be ipferred that I disapprove of clear- ing the teeth at bedtime

On the contrary, gentle rubbing of the teeth with a soft badger hair brush and some ordinary, soda or other effervescing. potable water, is an unirritating and salutary procedure, and I can personally vouch as to its being an effective and agree- able one.

Any artificial meddling with the natural scavenging agencies of the month, be de clares, is as insensate as it is destructive.

In other words, do not put anything into your mouth that you would be ashamed to put into your stomach.

A NEW CRIME.

·MAN- SUMMONED FOR SWEARING IN JUS BEZER,

A man who declared that he had been swearing in his sleep while in bed in his own house appeared at Bath Police Court recently charged with using obscene lan- guage within the hearing of passers-by in the street.

A police constable stated that while be was outside the house of the accused man, William. Spurrell, älter midnight, he beard a terrent of expletives, lasting for half an hour. He added that Mr. Spurrell was apparently soliloquiaing over his three years' imprisonquent in Germany during the war,

Mr. Spurrell said that, owing to his sufferings as a prisoner of war, he was able to talk in his sleep in this fashion. The magistrates bound him over.
