Better Babies Contest.
The mothers of Hattiesburg who
have been reading the Woman's Home
Companies will be interested to know
that plans are being made to hold
Better Babies Contest here in the near
future. This is not a baby show, in.
which the prettiest baby wins a prize,
but an examination by an expert who
will tell you whether or not your baby
is physically perfect. Every mother
thinks that her baby is perfect, but
is he? And If he is not, if there are
slight defects, can they be remedied?
That is what the Better Babies Con-
test is for. No prizes are offered save
the honor of having the baby pro
nounced perfect by an expert who
really knows. The committee who has
this in charge. hopes that many
mothers will enter their children in
this, the first contest, and those who
will do so are requested to send theii
names to Mrs. Ben Boster some time
during this week. The only require
ment is that the child be not over siy
years old. The time and place for tn,
contest will be announced later. Mrs
Anna Richardson, of Washington, 4
c., who is at the head of this move
ment, which has spread Throughout
| the Union, will be here to hold thi
contest.
