North Dakota HAS
YOUNGEST MOTHERS
THIRTY BABIES BEING CARED
FOR AT FARGO cRlTTENToN
HoME-THE AVERAGE AGE or
MOTHERS Is ONLY is YEARS
MONEY IS NEEDED.

Grand Forks Times, Surprising as
it may seem to o the lowest aver
age age Of young mothers in n OF
the seventy-eight Florence Crittenton
! homes is to be found at the North
Dakota home. The average of the
thirty three little mothers in the Fargo
institution is only Is years" Such was
the statement of Miss Elizabeth G.
Biggs, who with Mrs. G. A. Thomas,
both field workers for the Crittenton
home, have been making a tour OF
the west and are now on thetr way
back east.
And most of these unfortunate girls
are of good family, too" added Miss
Biggs. The south has generally been
credited with having the youngest
mothers, and indeed, this Is the first
year that any of the northern states
has taken the lead.
But / must also say that among
the seventy eight homes scattered over
the United States the Fargo home
stands in the front rank, not only for
it's handsome new and beautifully
equipped building, but also in point
of management and the efficiency of
it's board of directors. / wish you
would tender our thanks through the
columns of your paper to the ladies
of the various circles in the state for
the exceptionally efficient work that
they have done for the North Da-
kota home" $3.50" tH
Thirty Babies.
Miss Biggs says that beside the thir-
ty-three very young mothers, who are
nov being cared for at the state home
there are thirty babies. In the last
two years 4t0 inmates have been car
ed for at the North Dakota home.
OF these 256 were mothers, whose av-
erage age amounted to only 15 a
Miss Biggs and Mrs. Thomas have
been making a tour of this state to
raise funds to pay of the debt on the
new Crittenton home at Fargo. She
says the cost of the home was $1S,-
900, but that the estimated value of
the building, according to present
nrices of building and material is $685.
900. The saving in the cost Of the
tesy of Stewart Wilson, a Fargo con-
tractor, who gave the benefit of his
advice and furnished all of the build
ing material at actual cost. .
Money Needed. 81"
Othis amount $4,000 has already
been paid off, leaving a balance of
5000 still to be paid. Beside this
amount the home stands in the need of
$4,000 for running expenses and ST.
100 for incidentals, making a total of
$40, 900 which the field workers are
trying to raise. Miss Biggs said that
checks from any persons who feel an
interest in the work that is being done
in this city by the Florence Critten-
ton home would be gratefully receiv-
ed by the treasurer, H. w. Gearey, at
the Merchants National bank at
Fargo.
The first Florence C%rlttenton home
FOR fallen girls was established in
New York City thirty-five years ago.
since then branches have been estab-
lished all over the United States, The
North Dakota home was established
at Fargo seven years age. Before
ut the home was at Bismarck.

Avoid sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want TO contribute directly
to the occurrence of capillary bron-
chitis and pneumonia use cough medi-
cines that contain iodine, morphine, her
DIN and other sedatives when you have
q cough or cold. An expectorant like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is what
is needed. That cleans out the culture
beds or breeding places for germ dis
eases. That Is why pneumonia never
results from a cold when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy Is used. 1t has
a world wide reputation for it's cures.
It contains no morphine or other se-
dative. For sale by all dealers.-Advt.
