DES MONIES DEATH
TOLL is HEAVY

Des Moines, Sept. August took a
heavy toll of lives in Des Moines. &C
cording to reports filed with Health
Officer Sayler by the undertakers.
Thirty-o lone babies under the age OF
Is months, one for each day. and 100
adults died. OF the babies who died a
majority could not be reached by the
Save the Babies" campaign. Ten did
not live more than three days. -Four
lived one day and two lived three days.
Bowel trouble and stomach complaint
claimed nine of the infants. 1t is said
the number who died in August this
year Is less than the number who died
in August of last year. This shows the
good results of the Save the Babies
campaign.
While the fresh air camp at Good
park is closed. the work Of saving
babies will be continued. Visiting
nurses will make calls. In fully nine
tenths of the homes where the nurses
visit, their services are needed.

Girls on Wednesday, October lst,
1913.
Ignorance in spite of opportunity is a
crime.
Opportunities lost, sadden the heart
and blunt the intellect.

matter.
Brains are better than bank accounts
but frequently 90 together.
Can we afford today to handicap the
Orphan children that come to us by
being scanty or pinChed from any
standpoint?
We want lrSpeakable Splendor, that
will cause dependency of today to lose
itself in the joys of tomorrow.
No ordinary sacrifice should now
stand in the way of our doing our plain
duty to orphan children in Louisiana.
If there is any doubt in your mind
about this Work Day Gift being real
blessing, please give these poor little
ones the benefit Of that reasonable"
doubt.
We take Jew or Gentle, Protestant
or Catholic that knock at our door and
need to be with us, and we rejoice in it
because our Master reJoiced.
Cooperate with us on this day. You
have helped us before, fail us not now,
at this critical point in our history.
We are now to begin improvements,
lasting, essential and beautiful.
Give us this days labor and then

WHAT WE MISS.

The very fact that we come in
contact with a thing daily often times
serves only to make it common place
and to pass it unnoticed. We often
overlook our greatest blessings simply
because of the fact that we receive
them so often.
1t would be hard to find section
possessing greater natural resources
than this of ours. Situated as it is in
The very center of the richest rice pro-
duCing section in the world, and having
on all sides at our very doors the
richest oil fields in the country, coupled
with this we have soil, climate and
seasons strikingly combined that en-
able us to raise any crop almost that
soil will produce.
There is not a more inviting com.
munity to be found than ours when
viewed from a standpoint of citizenship,
Our people are ready to extend the
most cordial encouragement to every
Legitimate enterprise. The merchants
and business men generally are awake
and abreast with all that a modern
town has to offer.
We are constrained to believe that
just now is very important period in
our growth, and much of our future
prosperity will depend upon the manner
in which we take hold Of the present
hour opportunities. A period of mu,
niCipal growth has set in. Not a period
of mushroom growth but that sub.
Stantial growth which is the natural
result of a splendid environment.
Our observations are only on general
lines. Our purpose is to stimulate and
maintain that hearty spirit of en-.
deavor along individual and cooper.
atiVe lines of effort that will insure
us the heritage that is ours.

FIRE PREVENTION

Gov. Hall has issued a proclamation
setting aside October 9Th as Fire Pre-.
Vention Day throughout the State.
The purpose Of the Governor in setting
aside this Gay is that the people gener.
ally may he started in a campaign to
remove all rubbish and trash from the
premises that would likely endanger
the premises from fire. Municipal
councils are urged to take action in the
various towns and direct the people of
the towns to observe the day by remov.
ing all boxes, trash and rubbish from
the premises, as prevention OF fire.
There is no doubt much good can be
accomplished along this line. 1t is
alarming to read the statistics of the
annual losses from fires.
1t is a fact to note however that the
premises about the residences and
stores of Welsh are remarkably free
from trash and rubbish
One would have to go far to find
town whose citizens generally take a
greater pride in this particular work.
We are tod that the ladies of the Civic
League are due much of the credit for
these clean up campaigns. This work
adds not only much TO the appearance
OF the town but also to its safety.
