CONTEST GOOD
SUCCESS DUE TO ABLE ASSIST
ANCE GIVEN BY LOCAL
PEOPLE.
Mrs. Warren Truitt, Superintendent
of Contest, Issues Statement on
Contest Just Closed.

The success of the Better Babies
contest held at the Latah county fail
under the management of the wome Il s
auxiliary to the chamber of com
merce, is due to the efficient services
of DR.. ID. f. Rae, DR.. Jos. Aspray, DR.
w. A. Adair, DR.. j. ~ Clarke, Dr. f
McBryde of Moscow, Dr.. E. Mcguire OF
Pullman, DR.. J. Hoyt of Kendrick
DR.. G. 7. Boyd of Palouse, and to
Mrs. Jonathan Watson, an experienced
nurse.
To Mrs. C. H Shattuck, Mrs. R.
Hodgins and Mrs. F. Veatch the scor-
ing committee; to Mr. l.. F. Parson,
the newly elected member of Mos
COW public school board, as judge of
the scoring committee; to Mrs. M. E.
Lewis, Mrs. R. Burke, Mrs. c. E.
Merwin, and Mrs Lamson of the en-
rollment committee, the honors of
tedious labor of these willing and
faithful workers were generously do
mated and the women's auxiliary is
very appreciative Of the assistance
given to help make this contest the
first of the kind ever given in Latah
county, a success.
The method of standardizing the
babies was conducted strictly accord
ing to the Woman's Home Compan
ion official score card. The original
score is retained by the management
as matter of record, one duplicate
goes to each mother, and one is re-
turned to the Woman's Home Compan-
ion for the use of the physicians on
the milk investigating and Better
Babies" committee.
An interesting fact developed dur
ing this contest, that children from
six months to one year were almost
perfect, but from two to three years
many little defects were discovered
that mothers were not aware OF.
Adenoids, enlarged tonsils, rupture,
enlarged glands, diseased scalp, cur
vature, malnitrition, and other de-
fects that take possession of the
child during that age.
The Better Babies" contests that
are being conducted all over the Uni
ted States is to find out and correct
the physical imperfections before the
school age. The mother should care
fully watch the child between the age
of one to three years and keep it as
nearly physically perfect as possi-
BILE.
