BABY’S COMFORTER
AGITATION AGAINST DUMMIES. DISCUSSION IN ENGLAND. London, March 26. The French legislation against dummies has aroused vigorous discussion on the merits of comforters. Miss Olga Nethersole, the actress, and founder of the People’s League of Health, states that many mothers put dummies in their own mouths before giving them to their children, thereby often causing tuberculosis. The New Health Society objects to dummies, but the National Baby W’eek Council states that it is futile to introduce legislation. If dummies are forbidden mothers will immediately improvise an alternative. —A. <t N.Z.
