THE BETTER BABY CAMPAIGN.
(By Mrs. ID. B. Jeffries)

(By Mrs. ID. B. Jeffries)
A few years back our most INTEL
lgent men and women startled the
world by making statements of the
modern wife's rebellion against moth
erhood.
They said women no longer con-
sldered motherhood a browning glory
but rather a burden imposed.
With these accusations tn ependu-
lum began swinging the other way.
Societies and clubs were formed and
we have women discussing Better
Babies" Trained Motherhood" "The
Study and Prevention of Infant Nor
tality," etc.
The first child's welfare institution
was established in New Orleans.
During President Roosevelt's ad-
ministration, the President called a
conference at the white house of all
societies interested In child welfare
work. This resulted In the Federal
Children's Bureau of Chicago, with
Miss Julia Lathrop at its head.

been selected by the different socie-
ties In infant welfare work, among
the most common have been Better
Baby" contests. Saving the Baby"
shows, Infant Welfare Conferences
etc. These things are all beneficial
to the community. creating the de-
mand. and to a certain extent. sup
plying knowledge.
But every girl and woman nav add
her mite in safeguarding herself and
their unborn children by more hygen-
lie living and higher standards In life.
The dark age which for generations
has shrouded motherhood In supersti-
tuition. tradition, signs and omens. all
Ialike detrimental to mother and child,
along with the society decree of ig-
norance-is surely and swiftly pass
ing away.
The modern mothers are being
taught that the care Of their babies
begin before the birth OF the child.
not only months but all the previous
years of her life.
More ancestral wisdom. virtue and
health cannot fail to bring forth a
stronger ace stronger race nec-
essarily "a better babies.
After a child is born II is very i'm
lportant that It should have natures
own food. The baby makes a greater
proportional growth during the first
year OF life than any other time and
the brain increase is greater then than
all the following years put together,
Therefore II is very necessary that the
proper food be supplied during this
critical period.
Mothers milk Is the one perfect
food; It is said to protect the child
from many infant diseases and gives
II the best start in life.
The mother should strive to keep
a calm contented mind. OF the quality
OF the milk may bo changed making
It unfit for the child.

less? Are we, the Of today
any better than our mothers were?
Did they not suffer to give us life?
Why then should we refuse to do the
same noble work that our mothers did
for us? Are we any better? I say
no, a thousand times no. We are not
worthy of the dear mother who bore
us-if we T not willing to bring
forth some Of the spirits that are wait
ing In Heaven for the privilege to
come to earth that they may be able
to progress, to go on and on and
have eternal life.
Race suicide, and Its twin sister,
prevention OF child bearing through
so-called harmless methods, has no
place In the heavenly plan for our
human homes. Men and women who
know not God can be excused, perhaps
for maintaining childless homes, but
true Christians cannot acquiesce In any
doctrine or practice marriage that al
lows restriction OF offspring. God
only Is the arbiter of life and death
and II a man takes his own life he
cuts himself off from the presence of
God. Why not also declare that the
woman who prevents birth cuts her.
self off from all hope of eternal ex-
altation? The greatest modern sin is
the limiting of offspring for selfish
purposes. This sin Is denounced In
the book OF Jasper as one OF the
prime causes of the deluge.

Little babe of mine, have you come
to cheer,
When the hopes OF my heart be dead,
When my tears fall fast as the aut-
umn leaves
Now over the gray earth spread;
Have you come to Danish my grief
and gloom,
With your sunny smiles and your face
abloom?
Little babe of mine have you come
to heal
With the magic of your caress,
To brighten the place where shades
lie dark,
To comfort and cheer and bless.
To stir the soul with hope new-
born,
AS earth responds to a silent morn?
Lttle babe OF mine your tiny hand
Has gathered the broken strings
And sounded the chord of mother
love.
The sweetest OF earthly things.

for this
To be your mother, to know your kiss.
Little babe Of mine, oh, my Father

For this gift I bend my knee.

wounded heart,
! ask not In vain OF thee:
Now out of the depths revived l

DIES WHILE LECTURING
H. Munsterberg of Harvard Uni-
versity Passes Away Euddenly
in Classroom

Hugo Munsterberg, professor
of psychology of Harvard uni
versity, died suddenly Saturday
while lecturing before a class of
Radclif college.
Professor Munsterberg, on the
lecture platform, was seized with
what appeared to be a fainting
spell. Some of the young wom-
en- members of his psychology
class, of whom there were 60,
went to his side and then called
on the college physician, DR..
Jewett. The latter reached the
stricken teacher just before he
expired.
With his last breath the pro-
fessor attempted to quell the
disturbance which spread thru
his class of girls as he fell to
the floor. Professor Munster
berg was born June 1, 1868, in
|Danzig, Germany.

 T will go to her at once," I said quietly. AS I moved toward the door my knees trembled so I could hard 1y walk.
 Lillian came up to me quickly and put her strong arm around me.
 "It's an outrage" she said, vindic- lively. If I had my way Pm afraid I'd let her keep on calling you. She has caused you suffering enough, without inf1icting anything like this on you."
 But I must go, you know, Lillian" I returned, strengthened by the knowledge of her fierce partisanship for me.
 "Oh, I know it," she retorted. pet tishly, "and we might as we'll get 1t over with. so come along"
 We went down the hall to a won derful room of ivory and gold, which I knew must be Lillian's guest room In a big ivory-tinted bed the girl lay, pitiful wreck of the dashing inso- lent figure she had been.
 Her face was as white as the pillow upon which she lay, while her hand looked utterly bloodless. as they rest
 
 her eyes held anything of her old spirit. They looked unusually bril- liant. I wondered uneasily if their appearance was the result of their contrast to her deathly white face or whether the fever which the doctor dread had set it.
 She looked at me steadily for long minute, then spoke huskily-I was surprised at the strength of her voice.
 "Of course, I have no right to ask anything of you. Mrs. Graham" she said, "but Death you know always has privileges, and I am going to die.S Remember Now, Don't Go Away"
 She spoke with a conviction which made me shudder. Her sister in the corner of the room uttered a little wailing cry of protest. @ cry whiI the nurse, standing near her, stopped by lifting her hand authoritatively I had no power to answer. for the girls eyes held me as if in a trance.

And I know something has changed with me this afternoon; feel as if I were burning up inside, and I hurt so here" She lifted her hand and indicated the wound in her chest.

''WOMAN IN THE CASE" ON FOX'S SCREEN

The dominant note in the Para mount feature "The Woman in the Case,", screen version of Clyde Fitch's famous stage play of the same name, is that of wifely self-sacrif1ce Margaret Hughes, before marrying a very wealthy chap named Julian Rolfe, learns that he has had an affair with Claire Foster but broke with her upon learning that he was by no means the only man in her life. Margaret has been big enough to forgive Julian for his folly and when Claire, in a spirit or revenge induced by Julian'S efforts to save a dear friend from her clutches, weaveS a net of circumstan- tial evidence around him and accuses him of murder, the faithful wife de- termines to do everything in her pow CT to clear him. There is only one way to approach Claire and that is by posing as one of her own sort. This she does despite her feeling of re- pulsion for such things, and after a memorable battle of wits, succeeds in forcing a confession from the wom- an. In addition to the above the Fri angle plays will present Frank Keen an. supported by Charlie Ray and Louis Glaum, in Honor Thy Name" Frank Keenan is said to get splendid opportunities for just the kind of emo- tional work he excels in in the new

The Runawa ay Spirit.

Did you ever plan to run away when you were a child? Of course you did if you were a normal child Prob ably you had been punished in way that seemed unfair to you, you were burning with a sense of injustice, you wanted to make the grown-ups sorry, and so you decided to run away.
 You pictured yourself going down the street with your clothes wrapped up in a handkerchief, you imagined your mother coming to your room and not finding you. Maybe you planned a note to be pinned on the pin-cushion, touching note that said perhaps you would come back some day. Perhaps you even went so far as to write that note, or even further, and shook the money out of your bank and packed some of your clothes in a bundle.
 You Decided Not To ''Make The World
 Your Pillow''
 And then som ething always hap pened. Maybe you told your mother you were going away in the hope that it would make her repent. Or, maybe as you had hoped she would, she came up and found you getting ready and kissed you and you de- cided not to make the world your pillow that night.

|REVELATIONS0F A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

Why Grace Draper Made Madge
 Promise to Stay Until the End.
 I do not believe that ever in my life can I again have an experience development of infection in the dag ger wound which Grace Draper had inflicted upon herself after her un- successful attempt to shoot Dicky.
 Against the combined protest of Dicky and Lillian I shared the care of the girl with the trained nurse whom Lillian's forethought had pro- vided, and Dicky's money had paid for.
 The reason for my presence at her bedside was a curious one.
 At the close of the third day fol- lowing the girls attempt at murder and self-destruction, Lillian came to the door Of the room where I was reading to Dicky who was now all most recovered from the bullet wound which had so narrowly missed his heart.
 Well, you luxurious loafer," she said to D1cky, don't you think you've monopolized this girls time just long SllouSA' Il "oS IlIl up, MduSSs dlld come play with me for a while."
 'I'll have you know. Madam" re- turned Dicky, that the lady in ques- ton is my wife. I have legal right to her exclusive society, so take her out of this room at your per-r-il."
 Lillian stepped forward quickly. took me by the shoulders, and deftly swung me around away from Dicky and pushed me through the door into the hall.
 "Ta-ta, darling," she called back, mockingly. See you later''
 She closed the door upon the half laughing, half serious anathema, which Dicky sent after us
 Come down the hail into the i- brary,' she said, her manner chang ing as soon as the door closed.
 I followed her wonderingly. Safe in the beautiful brown tinted study of Iillian's, in which she had once bravely cleared up all the misunder- standing which lay between us, she faced me- and l saw with surprise that she was struggling wits some hidden emotion.
 "I Am Going to Dic.''
 ''Madge," she said abruptly, ''that poor girl in there has been calling for you for an hour. We tried every way we could think of to quiet her, but nothing else would do. She must see you. I imagine she has made up her mind she's going to die. and

 She's hurrying to get the doctor" the girl said. with the uncanny in tuition of the very sick, "but he can't do me any good. I'm going to dta and I know it. And I want you to promise to stay with me until the end comes. I shall probably be un- conscious and not know whether you are here or not. but I know you. You're the kind that if you give g. promise you won't break it. and I have @ sort of feeling that I'd like, to go out holding your hand. Will you promise me that?"
 Her eyes looked flercely, compel lingly, into mine. I stepped forward and laid my hand on hers. lying so weak on the bed.
 "Of course, I promise" I said pitt fully. .. *
 There was quick, savage gleam in her eyes, which I could not fathom, a gleam that vanished as quickly as it came. I told myself that I must be mistaken, but it seemed to me that the look I had surprised in her eyes was one of ferocious triumphS and that as my hand touched hers she had instinctively started to draw her hand away from mine and then yielded it to my grasp.
 "All right" she said indiffcrently, closing her eyes. "Remember now, don't go away"

 Only it manifests itself in different ways as we grow older. When we want to make people sorry we some times vaguely plan a much longer journey.

I never envied any one so much as Tom Sawyer the day he attended his own funeral.
