MOTHERS WAR FOR
HEALTH Of BABIES
Appeal for Aid in Establishing
Milk Distributing Stations
Under Trained Instructors.

The crusade against needless in
FAINT deaths being waged in many
States by the Mothers Congress has
spread to Atlanta.
Greatest factor in the fight is the
supplying of pure milk for infants in
poverty stricken quarters. IF a baby
is worth having it is worth saving"
is the slogan of the Mothers Con-
gress. In the appeal for help the per-
son appealed to is urged to think
of the object, and think of the need,
and remember while you are procras-
tinating some little baby is suffering. "
1t is the intention of women behind
the movement to establish milk dis
tributing stations in districts where
the greatest need is manifest. and to
have these stations under the direc-
ton of a trained worker, from whom
mothers can receive instruction as to
the feeding and care of their babies.
These stations will be opened each
day as many hours as the locality
justifies.
All willing to aid by contributing
a quart of milk a day should send
their names TO Mrs. John Rowlett.

ATLANTA-MADE
GOODS EXHIBIT
URGED FOR CITY
Manufacturers Move to Establish
Permanent Exposition of Prod
ucts of Their Factories.

The movement to establish a per-
manent manufacturers exhibit in
Atlanta will take definite shape this
week at a dinner to be given Thurs
day evening by the Chamber OF
Commerce to leading local manufac-
turers. The dinner will be the first
public function held In the banquet
hall Of the Ansley Hotel It will bs
entirely informal.
Brooks Morgan, vice president OF
the Chamber of Commerce and chair
man of the manufacturers commit
tee, has just returned from business
trip to Cleveland and Cincinnati
where he studied the manufacturers
exhibits and is convinced that per
manent exhibit in Atlanta will be OF
value. not only to manufacturers d.
rectly interested. but in promoting
the general growth and fame of At
lanta.
Both Cleveland and Cincinnati
says Mr.. Morgan, have permanent
buildings where these manufacturers
exhibits are placed. They are sur
rounded with so many interesting
features that they are always crowd
ed with people.
Tn the Cleveland exhibit" said Mr.
Morgan, II found they had many
copies of known works of ART
hanging around on the walls. In GER
tain seasons they have music and
other attractions. In many cases the
products are manufactured in booths
right before the visitors eyes.
such a permanent exhibit In At
lanta would be the most effective and
the cheapest advertising that Atlanta
and individual Atlantans could pos
sibly have. To meet the major part
Of the expense we could get GER
tain number of manufacturers to take
space at 5000 a year others at $780,
and a few at $3.50. The proper kind
of exhibit would add a new point OF
interest in Atlanta to all visitors and
would unquestionably he visited by
every merchant who came to Atlanta
to buy goods at wholesale. Mer.
chants who came to buy two or three
lines would buy a dozen. II could bt
made instructive and educational As
well as entertaining. Few Atlantans
young or old, now realize that 1000
different articles are being manufac-
tured in this city.
1T is proposed to place man with
the title Of sales manager in charge
Of the building. He will be giver
the price lists Of the various manu-.
facturers which he can furnish on re.
quest, and in addition will put the
| merchants in direct touch with th'
factories. He can even take orders
when necessary.
| 1T would be a good idea to have
/ office space available for rent e
manufacturers who want to hav,
| their own representatives in tn,

| to Atlanta or when the town 4
| crowded with people for other rea
