TO FOLLOW UP
MISSION WORK
Laymen's Movement Executive
Committee Plans to Keep
Up Interest

Members of the executive commit
tee of the Laymen's Missionary Move
ment of the National Missionary Cam
paign will meet tomorrow afternoon
at o'clock to settle up the business
of the conference, which ended in the
Grace Methodist Church last night,
and also TO map out plan of cam
paign for follow-up meetings in vari-
Gus towns in the counties in Central
Pennsylvania
The Rev. w. n. Chambers, who for
thirty years was a missionary In Tur-
key, was one of the speakers at the
closing session last evening. He was
in the midst of the recent Armenian
massacres.
Tells of Armenian Massacre
Mr.. Chambers was one of the speak
ers at the closing session of the con-
ference last evening and he told in a
striking and forceful manner of the
recent massacre of Armenian Chris
tians.
Mr.. Chambers said that early in
1915 Armenians serving in the Turk
ish army were relieved of their arms

policies of the country. Christians
were of the belief that the change
would mean better treatment for them
but instead deportation became gen.
eral and with ii occurred the massacre
of men, women and children. Many
younger girls and boys were sold
while countless numbers of men, w0-
men and children were forced to cross
the plains and mountains into North
ern Syria, which was also unfriendly
to the newcomers. In this process
of deportation children were separ-
ated from their parents and Mr.
Chambers said that even now men
and women would be contented with
the thought that they were childless.
Sick and aged persons. said Mr..
Chambers were left along the road
side TO die and small babes were
thrown into the rivers.
The other speakers at last evening s
closing session were the Rev. p. w
Schriver, secretary. of the immigra-
tion department of home missions of
the Presbyterian church and William
E. Doughty, educational secretary of
the laymen's missionary movement.
At the conclusion of the session it
was announced that the registration
for Harrisburg had reached ,306
which is far above the registration in
other cities the size of Harrisburg.
The Harrisburg registration is only
rs less than that in Philadelphia.

infant death rate has been steadily
and gradually decreasing but has not
made the showing that ought to be
made by such a splendid city, situated
in a rich agricultural section, clean
and well-paved and having an abund-
ant water supply, well tested and
cared for at all seasons of the year.
DIR. Rogers speech was convincing
and masterful. He declared that most
of those who in infancy are regarded
as physically unfit were healthy at
birth and are merely victims of bad
environment, improper feeding and
neglect-conditions which 1t is quite
possible to remove. He also declared,
with much truth, that the waste of
infants lives is a far-reaching prob
lem and affects not only the happiness
of the home, but the prosperity of the
nation and race. Half the deaths of
babies under one year are preventable
and at the last analysis the chief
cause of these deaths is ignorance. In
localities where the campaign of
education has been carried on, the
death rate among babies has been re-
duced from 10 to so per cent.
Flower Day" Tomorrow
If you see a friend on the street
tomorrow ornately decorated with a
beautiful dark red carnation, or
some other flower. don't ask him the
why's and the wherefores-you will

consideration.
Giving the Baby His Bath
l. To keep the baby well. he must
be bathed every day.
,. The room in which he is bathed
should he warm and not drafty.
g. The best time for the baby's bath
is in the morning about 10 o'clock,
at least an hour after feeding.
4. lie should be put in small
bathtub, or large clean dishpan. which
is not used for anything else.
;. The tub should he scrubbed out
with soap and hot water before and
after each bath.
g. Have about inches of warm
water in the tub. If the water feels
warm for your elbow 1t is right for
the baby.
Z. Clean cheesecloth makes the
best washrag Use a different piece
for his face and get fresh cheese
cloth often. 1t is easier to keep

first without soap and dry II.

State Department of Health, apd DR..

DIR. Roger First Speaker
DR.. +. Franklin Roger in his ad-
dress. gave some very interesting
figures and statistics concerning the
death rates of infants throughout
Pennsylvania and applied those rates
to the city of Harrisburg, totaling in
contrast the rates for the city.
The death rate in Pennsylvania for
infants in the year 1906 was 149 per
thousand infants born alive. Harris
burg had an infant death rate in 1909
Of 1859, declining gradually from
that period on to the present For
The year 1910, the rate was 1866: in
1911, 1883; in 1913, 113.4: in 1915,
109.5. For each year in this interval,
Harrisburg has had death rate a
little below the State rate until the
last year. when 1t looks as though
Harrisburg's rate would be Just a trifie
above the State rate. In 1910. Har-
risburg's rate was nearly fourteen
points per thousand below the State
rate: in 1914, ii was nine points be-
low the state rate; while for the cur
rent year it only equalled the State
rate. In other words. Harrisburg 5
