"A CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM
Iowa's Forward Movement to Con-

Des Moines, May 31st. Special
One of the interesting features Of
the Iowa exhibit at the 18th Inter-
national Congress on Hygiene and
Demography, to be held at Wash
ington, D. c., September 29rd to
28th, will be an exhibit on the baby
health contest inaugurated by the
Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs
at the State Fair in 1911. This
unique health contest was so popular
last year that the state fair manage
ment has this year made one of the
regular departments and has offered
premiums to the amount of $4,000.
Already plans are being elaborated
by the superintendent to make the
contest this year much greater in
scope and Importance.
The Iowa Commission has assur-
ances from the officials in charge Of
the baby health contest that charts
and models will be prepared as a
part of the Commissions exhibit to
the Congress at Washington. 1t is
significant of IoWa's campaign
against tuberculosis and preventable
diseases in general that a study be
made of these forces which are either
conducive to or destructive of the
health of infants and children, and
also illustrates the great interest

1t is said that wit, merriment and
laughter are conducive to health,
happiness and long life. I like to
see people witty and entertaining in
company, but I don't like to hear
those who wish to be considered so
make some senseless and unmeaning
remark or, pretend to be pleased with
similar expressions of others and be-
fore the words fairly escape their
lips begin to te-he-he and shake
their sides with suppressed laughter
when nothing that either or any of
them said was worthy of laugh or
even smile.
If any one with a fertile brain
and vivid Imagination can conceive
of anything more absurd and ridicu-
.lous it would be advisable to con-
ceal it from the knowledge of the
people, for a while, for human ma
ture has it's limits of endurance and
two such silly and disgusting things
coming at one time to the minds Of
men and women of ordinary intelli-
gence and understanding might
never be able to fully recover from
the disastrous effects it would in
