What Happened in ___ During the Hot Spell?
-
Description
-
This blank postcard, labeled "Efficient Citizenship No. 454," promotes the achievements of the New York Milk Committee and allied agencies in their fight against infant mortality from July 1 -15, 1911. Statistics from thirteen American cities are provided, as is the reason for the campaign's success: access to, and use of, "good milk." The postcard verso includes a chart of "baby deaths for one year" -- tracking seasonal changes in mortality rates -- and asks the reader to consider, "When does the spurt come in your city?" Contact information for the New York Milk Committee is also provided.

Description
-
This postcard states that "731 babies [were] saved in July," and reproduces excerpts from the August 2, 1911 editions of the New York Globe, the New York Herald, the New York American, and the New York World to remind readers that the reduction in infant mortality must be continued in August. On the back, an illustration of a healthy baby accompanies quotations advising readers about "what can be done" to help babies and reminding them that "while there's care there's hope."
