What is Your Baby
Worth?

Not long ago little child disap-
peared from the home of well-to- do
eastern family. The father Offered ten
thousand dollars for the chiId's return.
A few days later, in the heart of New
York's Little Italy, the son of strugg-
ling shopkeeper was kidnapped. Its
father, who accumulated a small capt.
tai by living on bread and macaroni
and working fifteen hours day, seven
days in the week, offered one thousand
dollars for the return of the child.
Was one baby worth ten thousand to
its father and the other one thousand?
No. The baby was worth just every
dollar the father could rake and scrape
together.
That is the .answer every father
would make:-"My baby is worth ev-
erything ! have in the world" And
mother would agree with him.
Yet, isn't it strange that parents,
who will pay all they possess as ran
som to kidnappers, do not realize that
they are taking bigger chances of los
ing their babies because they do not
know the best ways for the care and
feeding of their children?
The officials of the Arizona state
fair will have a remarkable feature on
the fair grounds this year-a Better
Babies Contest,-which will not only
prove how much babies are worth to
their parents and the community and
the nation, but how a better race of
babies can be insured. The Better
Babies Contest is scientific medical
examination of children under five
years of age, for physical and mental
development. The judges are physi-
clans who pass on the baby's condition.
Sturdy limbs, firm flesh, steady nerves,
good digestion.-these and not pink
cheeks. soft hair and dimples. make a
better baby and a prize winner. Such
a baby is of incalcuable value to par
ents and the country for a healthy,
normal baby means a healthy desirable
citizen.
If you think your baby is in this class
write to Mrs J. c. Norton the superin
tendent of the Better Babies Contest,
for information about this splendid
contest If your baby is up to the
standard, it will win a prize, and even
if it does not win prize, it will be
given certificate of examination,
showing that it has joined the ranks of
the Eetter Babies and is going to be
the best baby next year.
In addition to the contest and the
interesting examination of the babies.
the fair officials will distribute free
literature on the care of feeding of ba-
bies and there will be a Better Babies
health exhibit which will interest all
parents, whether they enter babies or
not.
