Baby Of Future

Much thought has been given in late
years to the subject Of maternity. In
the cities there are maternity hospitals
equipped with modern methods. But
most women prefer their own homes and
in the towns and villages must prefer
them. And since this is true we know
from the great many splendid letters
written on the subject that our Mothers

mothers. They write Of the wonderful
relief, how It seemed to allow the
muscles to expand without undue strain
and what a splendid influence it was on
the nervous system. Such helps as

knowledge Of them should have helpful
influence upon babies Of the future.

Louis Lane, which left Seattle April
8, 1918, with a party of scientists

When anti-boxing law goes into

of the overflow of fistic talent. as
these cities practically will have
a monopoly of important contests
with San Francisco and Los An

hands should be in sort of fun

spread out. Let the ball strike
