EXHIBIT OF LUNGMOTOR
WELFARE CLUB OBTAINS USE OF
MACHINE FOR BABY DAY.

When the General Federation of
Women's Clubs started out to secure
a National Baby week, they did their
work thoroughly, and even after en-
listing the aid of Uncle Sam, they did
not stop.
The Welfare club here recently re
ceived a letter from the federation,
stating that a firm in Chicago, man
ufacturing lifesaving devices had
agreed to lend one baby lungmotor
to each of the first 100 clubs apply
ing for one for Baby week. A tele-
gram was sent, and Madison is to re-
ceive the exhibit.
Hundreds of babies are born who
never breathe. The lungmotor has
given breath TO many. thereby saving
those precious little lives and fulfill
ing the mothers dreams and fancies.
From all eve the country comes
the report OF the valuable aid rem
dered by ~lungmotors. Physicians are
proclaiming their mighty service to
the race, and many cities are purchas-
ing them for community safeguards.
Our ladies are to be congratulated
upon their success and wise planning
in bringing this instrument to Madi-
son, and all that nov remains is for
measures TO be taken TO keep the
baby lungmotor in town.
