The following paper was read by
Mrs. r. B. Stapleton at recent meet
ing Of the Hardy Street Parent-Teach-
ers' Association, in connection with
the Better Baby" campaign being
conducted in Hattiesburg and else
where this week:
The Babies Rights.
/. The baby has right to a clean
birthright.
2. The baby has a right to a well
come into his home.
3. The baby has a right to a worthy
citizenship.
Does he always get these?
Then. why do we lose by death one
third IF all the babies born to us?
If they come from clean parentage
into wholesome. happy, welcome
homes, with the community's best eff
forts to grow them into healthy. use
full citizens, why do they die?
1T is estimated that in rural dis
tricts Al per cent of the babies pass
away" and the rate in our cities va
ries from 20 to $50 per thousand
1. The Babies Birthright.
Every baby born into the world
has a right to demand a clean heri-
tage.
Do you remember how King David
sat in his chamber over the gate and
watched and waited for a message
from his son, Absolom?
Do you remember the wall that
came from his broken heart: "Oh,
Absolom, my son, my son. would God
l had died for thee?" The stricken
of years of SHINING was
the pail that covered his boy.
This cry goes out all over our land
from desolated homes--the sins of
the parents.
A clean birthright is the baby's
best heritage, and flows through his
young veins life-giving power that
and poverty cannot down.
2. The Baby's Welcome.
The baby has right TO a welcome
into his home.
If ne had had the right to choose a
home, he might not have chosen yours,
But he has no cnoice-the little help
less. unborn atom that he is-only
rs his parents choose for him.
Dante said his mother wrote his
Inferno" which rendered him inn !
mortal, into his being while he was
yet in embryo.
Let the baby's welcome into the |
home be great motive power for |
light living, even as Samuel was the |
ife of his mothers prayers.
This is the golden age for the child, !
when the baby is wanted in the home. /
Us evidence of this fact, note how |
many homes without children are |
dopting them. Then, too, on every
land, women are discussing Trained
Better Babies" until
ations have taken it up; and the
ably today is considered the worlds
'reatest asset.

L.rFsn't love y'u. but is merely put
ting YOU o. each tine? He evi lenll5
wants to keep you interested in him.
and at the same time be perfectly free
to do as he pleases. If he really loved
you, he would make you feel so sure
about it that advice from me would
be entirely unnecessary. When q,
man loves truly he is never ashamed
or afraid to confess his love. The
best thing for you to do is to make up
your mind to forget him-no matter
how hard it may seem at first-put
him out of your mind. | am sure that
you could never get along together
as long as he mistrusts you at all, and
if he mistrusts you, he most assured
ly does not love you.
He is not worth worrying about AS
for allowing him to monopolize your
time, you are, indeed, making a great
mistake, since he has no intention of
marrying you. Let other nice boys
come to see you. Show some indie
pendence-for heavens sake don't let
the man think that he is the only male
friend you have.

WORK AGAINST
 cArERPILLAR PESTS Brown Tall Moth Nests and Tent Caterpillars Can Be Destroyed.

The famous Almanac of the Allan tic Monthly Magazine. just issued, contains this admonition:
 January 22, 1916-Have you burn- yet? Do 1t before the February
 Under date of February 1s, 1916. the Atlantic Monthly Almanac con- tains this further admonition:
 Head off the tent caterpiliars by removing their egg clusters from your apple, plum and peach trees. Pay particular attention to the wild cher ry trees"
 It would be well If all owners of property, upon which are fruit and oak and pine trees, would mark these dates on their calendars in such a way that these admonitions could not Tail to- be brought to their attention For years active campaigns have been waged against these pests in New bngiand and New York state, and while much has been accomplished there are still districts in which the brown tail or gypsy moth returns year after year. The department Of agri- culture found it necessary last year to place an embargo on shipments of stone and quarry products from eer- tain districts in New England infested with these moths. as it was discovered that such shipments often carried the eggs of the moths from one section to another.
 Simple and Easy Methods.
 There are several simple and easy methods to combat the pests. Prob ably the best method is that pointed out by the department of agriculture. It Is to treat the egg clusters with creosote. This should be done before Apr1l l. Creosote may be obtained at nearly all hardware or seed stores and it should be applied, after adding small amount. of lamp black to dis color the treated eggs, with a brush.
 Another method that is advised by experts is to burn the winter web. By this method the caterpillars are destroyed before they emerge in April. Cutting them from the tree is also a good method If done properIy. but there is danger that some of the eggs, If not all will fall to the ground and come out in the spring. In addition cutting sometimes harms the trees.
 The trees should be sprayed each year, preferably in the month of Au- gust, using from six to ten pounds of arsenate of lead to one hundred gallons of water
 Applying burlap bands to the trees Is effective, provided it is not done too early. in which case the cater pillars select the bands as a place for their cocoons. If attached to the tree after the middle of June they serve to collect the caterpillars. which can then be crushed, Tanglefoet bands are also good. They are applied after the bark has been sccraped so that the sticky material can be spread evenly Even after the egg clusters have been attacked with creosote it is well to apply these bands when summer comes along.
 Work This Winter.
 It means but little expense and ex- tra work to protect trees from these destructive pests, and if the people throughout New England were to turn out this winter and attack the egg clusters wherever they are found 1t would go a long way toward exter- minating one of the worst enemies of tree life. The remedies are so sim pie and easily applied that there is little excuse for further depredations from this insect.

NEW cHIRoPopY LAW
 NOW IN EFFECT Examination and License Are Required --connsetiout Psdie Society Likes ' the Law.


 The act regulating the practice of chiropody, which was passed at the last session of the legislature, went Into effect to the licensing class on Jan. 1, and the licenses required un-
 der the law have just been distributed found in Chapter 22s of the Public
 Acts Of 1915. requires that no per- son shall practice <chiropody in this
 state until he shall have passed an examination or received a license of qualification from the state board of
 health. The board of examiners are appointed by nominations from the Connecticut medical examining board and the Connecticut Pedfc society. Upon evidence of unfltness to prac-
 tice the license may be revoked by the
 board of examiners.
 The penalty provision of the act Is in part as follows: Any person who shall practice chiropody in violation of the provisions of this act, upon the first conviction, shall be fined not less than $50 nor more than S100 and for each subsequent offense shall be fined not less than $10O nor more than $500. or be imprisoned for not less than 20 days nor more than one year, or both"
 Chiropodists generally are pleased at | the working of the act as 1t prevents incompetent and fraudulent persons from practfcing the profession. The Connecticut Pedic society was instru-
 mental in urging the passage of the law and has been active since the ses- sion of the legislature in regulating the practice of the profession through out the state. The members of the society. all of whom are certified chir- opodists. have fixed the minimum fee
 for professional work at 90 cents. The
 officers of the society are as follows: President. Benjamin Oelsner. Bridge port; vice presidents Louis C. Hath
