erhood and citizenship, should find q
permanent place in the heart Of, the

When we make it impossible for any
mother to be ignorant of infant by

When we make it impossible for fac
tory, store or home work to unfit a
woman to save her baby.
When we get milk that is safe fol
babies.
When we get clean air and use it,
When we eat.
When we can answer, Why do babies
die? and Why are mothers ignorent!

things, but doing these things will
give us the right to vote.-The March
