devoted time and money without stint
that sick babies might receive the ben

Its fourteenth year, is almost incalcula-

By its means, thousands Of mothers
have learned to care for their suffer-
ing children. A baby, during treat

Am ~ that humanity is reaching q
= V higher level than the increased
facilities provided for the care of the
children OF the very poor of our cities.
Development in the knowledge Of SAN
itary principles shows how extreme
poverty and the illness which naturally
accompanies it cause dwarfing Of the
sensibilities, Indifference to appear
ances and tendency to crime. The fu-
ture of the little citizens reared in
filthy surroundings affects the welfare
of the general community, and the
work Of lettering the condition of poor
children is one in which all should be
interested. Babies stomachs, more
delicate than those Of their elders, and
the close air filled with impure odors
in many city tenements, are respon-
sible for much of the. illness found
among the little ones. Ignorance and
an entire lack of understanding of the
first principles Of cleanliness add to the
trouble.
It is impossible to save the lives OF
many of the babies, even with the best
Of medical attention, while they are
left at home in the care of uniformed,
hopeless mothers. When this fact
came to be fully understood, the fresh

mothers. followed inevitably. When
one woman in crowded district learns
the advantages of cleanliness her in

lives Of those in her immediate vicin-
