Rescue The Towel.


A great question confronts the people
of this nation: What are they to use to
wipe upon after washing face, hands and
bodies2 The usefulness of the towel IL
about gone. Long ago, when women
spun the linen and wove the material,
and their little daughters neatly hem.
med the towels, the American people
had useful article. This old. fashioned,
simple towel was often hung on q roller
in the kitchen until Saturday night,
which In those days was "bath night.
As the nation advanced towels began
fixing up; they came along with fringed
edges and appeared In colored borders.
Then women began hemstitching their
towels, embroidering them and trim
ming them with lace. OF late years, a
small piece of fancy work, gay with col.
ore, embroidered initials and bearing the
family coat of arms has joined the array
of giddy towels in the bath room, and is
called q "guest towel" If anything on
earth could keep company away the
thought of using "guest towel" would
do 1t. For while the hardworking,
trustworthy Turkish bath towel held its
own and wiped American citizens; but
it has been led astray and Frances into
the bathroom with crocheted borders,
colored initials, etc. It 10 about Is use
ful In the bathroom as the family prin-
cess is around the house. The cold
facts are the towel has travelled 1owery
paths long enough. 1t must be led back
to the straight and narrow. Here 10 real
work for the reformers. Let them res.
cue the towel.

DO You Know of a Blind Baby P

In 1918 the Maine Legislature passed
a law providing for the care, mainte
nance and education of the baby blind
The amendment gives the Governor
power to send all blind children not &C
cepted at Perkins Institute, to any insti
tuition for blind wherever located. See
Chapter 46, Laws of 1918, and all travel
ing expenses of such pupils shall be paid
by the State.
Maine has already sent two children t.
the Arthur Home for blind babies, Sum
init, New Jersey, the only institution IL
the whole United States that will take
any blind baby from any state and give II
proper physical care, and mental train
ing, until it is the proper age TO enter
the State institutions provided for the
older blind.
Fourteen States are already represent
ed, and one little boy is there from Cuba
Forty children being the total number
now at the home and as many more have
been graduated.
II you know of blind baby or you
have blind baby write promptly tC
Cynthia Westover Alden, 90 Fifth Ave.
New York City, Founder Of the Sun
shine Blind Baby Institutions, and she
will give you all information.
She maintains that the public has nc
right to assume that because a baby ID
blind it has no brains. Her ten years
work in behalf of the baby blind demon
strates that the blind should be cared
for from the day they are blinded. On.
should not wait until they are Of schoo
age when blind children in the past, have
been eligible to State Institutions. Shs
declares that the blind become feeble
minded from lack of care not from lacs
of brains, and if the children are giver
attention from the day OF blindness few
if any, will be refused at the State
Schools at the age of eight, because Of
being too backward or feeble minded &c
take advantage Of the training there pre-
pared for them.
1t is your duty, therefore, since the
State now makes provision for the cart
of the baby blind to report such a chile
IL you ever see or hear Of one IN YOU
State.
