FOR THE WELFARE OF THE
CHILD

Mrs. Henry J. Hersey, president of
Colrado Congress of Mothers, has
completed the organization of the
local committees. Everything will be
done for the comfort and pleasure of
those who attend.
The National Congress- of Mothers
believes that disease and crime are
largely the result of mistaken meth
DDS of dealing with children. Yellow
fever and smallpox have been almost
eliminated by removing the causes of
these diseases. If fathers, mothers,
teachers and city and state govern
ments knew more of children's needs
half the babies born would not die
before they are five years old, and
hospitals and prisons would not TEEN
with physical and moral wrecks.
The National Congress of Mothers
believes in the infinite possibilities of
childhood for health and goodness.
1t is not surprised at the failures
when child nurture is almost the on
ly line of education entirely ignored
Give the children the influences in
home and school, church and state,
that will intelligently develop them
and the causes of disease and crime
are wiped out.
Mistaken methods in home or
school or state are responsible for
most of the failures. The National
congress of mothers has studied the
causes of disease and crime and is
seeking to help childhood in the ways
which count for the most. Come to
Denever June 1915. The Congress
welcomes all who would promote the
of the children. Sub
jects on program are:
Saving the Babies.
Helping the Erring Boys and Girls. !
The Homes Responsibility for
Health, Morality and Good Citizen

the wedding bells will toll on June Sth
to announce to the many friends and
acquaintance the step to be taken by
Mr. Charles Bradford Wynne, of Pleas
antville and Miss Louise Hazard, of Los
Angeles. Cal This accounts for the
expansive smile on the countenance OF
Chas. C. Wynne, father of the groom.
The groom, when he was youngel.
promised that should he ever venture
upon the sea of matrimony, the home OF
his father would be the place where his
marriage would be scleminized.
Mr.. Chas B. Wynne is in the whole
sale plumbing supply business in New
York City. The prosperous condition OF
his business warrants his assuming
greater responsibilities.
Miss Hazard is connected prominently
and esteemed by all of those who have
met this charming young woman. She
is brilliant light in the social lirma-
ment of her home city. Miss Hazard $
mother and sister accompany her and
will be the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
c. Wynne at their residence, l20 Wash
ington avenue.
The Rev. Herbert Gesner, of First

be the keystone consummating the prob
lem of Dan Cupid's inception.
