THE PORCH SWING.

A very useful bit of furniture for
the child of the early nursery age is a
porch swing. It's broaG, low seat gives
just the physical relief which scien-
lists tell is the child's growing limbs
need. He may swing in it with the
limbs and the weight of the body sup
ported, and it offers an alluring place
for mapping.
These articles will furnish quite
completely the nursery of a child from
three to six years of age, and viii
stand the hard usage which they are
apt to receive.
Partly through the needs for new
types of school furniture, and partly
because of the demand of public libra
ries for furniture built in children's
size for the children's rooms, we are
able to buy very beautiful, inexpen-
sive bits of furniture suited to the
child between the ages of six and
twelve. There are low, round tables,
some of them fitted with drawers,
and chairs to match, built in the old
Windsor style. The table offers a
chance for the children to spread out
books or magazines, or to gather
about it for a game. The little girl
may learn artistic flower arrange
ment and is inspired to do simple en-
broidery by keeping her own table
beautiful with a fancy cover and a
vase or bowl of blossoms in the cen
ter.
One little girl whose room was
made attractive with such atable and
several small chairs learned to dis
pense hospitality quite as daintily and
charmingly as her mother. She or
ganized the other little girls of the
neighborhood into social club which
met once week for dolls sewing,
and afternoon tea. The children al
ways found her table set, like an
adult one, with little cakes of home
baking, small teacups and shining
silver. She served cambria tea OF
lemonade with all the gracious cor
diality of a grown-up hostess, and
surely the experience was of value
to the child in her training for wo-
manhood.

the world, and better chance given
them for the battle of life.
That is the reason women are en-
gagged today in the great battle for
liberty-the great strife for the bal
lot.
It is a bloodless battle-the noblest
phalanx of soldiers who have ever
marched to victory. They are going
forward, misrepresented, nisunder-
stood, traduced and betrayed by those
who should be marching with them.
And because they know they are
misrepresented, they want the right
to represent themselves. Because
they know they are misunderstood,
they are long-suffering Because they
know they are traduced, they appeal
for justice. Because they know they
are betrayed, they are fighting,
staunchly, unwavering, unafraid, the
hosts of their betrayers.
And the great weapon they are
using is publicity. They are fighting
in the open their enemies who are
intrenched about them-those enc
mics who shoot from ambush-the
corporate interests, the corrupt poll
ticians, the white SLAYER, the saloon
interests-all arrayed against the bal
lot for women.
Their most dangerous enemy, next
to these, is the Woman Who Does
Not Care. The woman who is too
Indifferent to what goes on about her,
menacing her home, to lend her aid
to her sisters who are devoting their
lives to this struggle. The woman
who is too lazy to do her own think
ing, or too conservative" to devote
herself to the fight that is being
waged by women for the women and
children of this and other countries.
But still the fight goes on and will
go on. Still the bloodless battle viii
continue, for nothing that is the
product of an awakened conscience al
lied to 9 growing public sentiment can
fail. The ballot for women, the
weapon for their protection and the
protection of their children will YET
bep laced in their hands by the mer
of every state in the union, that they
may carry on their God-given work
as their Creator intended that i
should be carried on, and that theS
may use it for the protection of then
homes and their children, as theil
pioneer mothers of this country lone
ago used that other deadlier but les;
effective weapon, against marouderi
who sought to cross the threshold anc
work harm to the roof-tree and the
babies who found refuge there.

ton in the homes. This has not been
charity campaign work among the
poor; it has been self-help, self-educa-
ton in parenthood, community inter-
est for the little child. The forma-
ton of Mother Clubs and Father
Clubs from one end of this land to the
other is the greatest proof that the
Better Babies bureau has awakened
the entire country to the importance
of saving babies, ana then making
them better babies.
The Better Babies bureau has COM
piled and printed all the literature
necessary for carrying on this work,
and supplies it without charge to all
workers interested in babies. It is
moving forward from the contests to
a broad educational field, the Better
Babies Health Exhibit and depart
ment of service for all who would
have the babies of America made bet
ter, stronger, and happier.

THE CONSERVATORS
OF THE RACE

Men of the South will tell you
today-any man, it matters not what
his position may be, whether he is
legislator or a laborer-that the wo-
men bore, we'll, may almost say, the
real burden after the Civil War. And
they showed their courage, and they
have come out of it. So that if they
were able to bear that and did it I'M
complainingly and happily and graz
ciously, they are also able to bear
other burdens and help the men of
the South in other ways, help them
in the citizenship, for, after all, citi
zenship is just a great big house
keeping proposition. And the women
now are proving that they are capable
of that in our towns in the Southland.
They have formed clubs among them
selves-civic clubs. They have formed
associations for the prevention and
cure of tuberculosis, which disease
was killing so many thousands of our
southern people. They have formed
other kinds of associations for the
prevention of the white-slave traffic
and other things which are fostering
our country. These women have gone
on gradually and slowly, and yet they
are making themselves noted for their
work among US there.
There are just two things that i'm
press me most about this subject in
| the South. The women have no fight
with the men. They want to work
with them hand in hand. They want
to be their help-metts, their compan-
! ions in all of the work that they are
doing.
/ None of the women to whom have
talked have any faith in militant
way to get this great suffrage prob
lem through. They do not want any
fight with the men, who are then
partners and whom they want to help
They simply want to be companions
with them. And one other thing: The
woman's work is peculiarly her OWL
and woman is the great conservator

THE BETTER BABIES BUREAU.

The Better Babies bureau was or
ganized two years ago, by the Wo-
mans Home Companion, to encourage
Better Babies Contests, at which
children five years and under are ex-
amined for physical and mental de-
velopment, according to the Better
Babies Standard Score-C Card. Babies
who scored high were awarded prizes,
medals, and diplomas. Parents
brought out their babies to win prizes,
and remained to learn why their
babies did not qualify. Many of them
learned at these contests for the first
time that babies were not born deli
cate or strong, but could be developed
from weak to strong babies by the
right care; also that right care was
true economy.
During the past few years more
than two hundred thousands bah es
have been examined in this way, and
their parents have become interested
in hygiene for the babies and santa

work the first year by Mrs. E. G.
Strickland and Mrs. Emma billiard,
and others, and last year when the
Pensacola Equal Suffrage League,
with Mrs. Walker Ingraham as chair
man, took charge of the work, Mrs.
billiard was again the most able lieu
tenant. This year the Suffrage As
sociation has again been at the head
Of this movement, and Mrs. billiard
for the third time has brought her ex-
perience as a trained nurse and in
thief ormer contests to the success of
the work, of which this year she
has had the entire charge.
The Woman's Home Companion is
at the head of the Better Babies Bu-
reau, under which these contests have
been conducted for the past three
years. To each baby entered in the
contest, the Woman's Home Compan-
ion, and the board of local examining
physicians, presents a certificate. To
each Of the prize-winning babies, and
there are four this year, the Com
panion awards a diploma, and the
baby making the highest score in the
contest receives, as the gift of the
Companion, a bronze medal. Each
baby in the prize winning class also
receives a photograph, the gift of d
local photographer.
But the awards which are made at
the yearly contests arc Only a small
part of the work.
The motives of these contests is
