Title: The Baby and the Budget
Description: Headlines from the New York Evening Post, the New York Tribune, and the NY Times are reproduced on this 1911 postcard created by the New York Milk Committee. They read: "The Baby and the Budget," "Why More Doctors, Nurses, and Inspectors Are Needed," and "The 'Cops' Spread the News." That "News" is the promotion of the work of milk stations in preventing infant deaths and advocacy for the full budgetary allocation by the NYC Department of Health towards the summer time reduction of infant mortality. A portrait of a healthy baby and a list of "Babies' Rights,"almost all of which deal with milk, are found on the postcard verso.

Title: Dirt in Loose Milk Shops
Description: This postcard produced by the New York Milk Committe's Committee for the Reduction of Infant Mortality reprints a July 26, 1911 NY Evening Post article entitled, "Dirt in Loose-Milk Shops." The article recounts the findings of the Committee's investigations, in coordination with the New York City Department of Health, into the bacterial contamination of milk sold in bulk. On the postcard verso a photo of sickly baby fed on contaminated milk is contrasted with the photo of a healthy baby under the question,"Is It Worth the Difference?"
