The work of arranging for the cele-
| bration of baby week is going steadily
forward. At the end of the first week
| of registration there are many babies
| entered. There seems to be an idea
| among mothers that after a baby has
| passed its second or third birthday,
| that he is in need of baby week
| benefits, for nearly all babies so far
| entered are under that age. However,
| a four or five-year-old will derive fully
| as much good as a tiny baby. Many
| a childish trouble does not manifest
itself, such as flat foot bad teeth. or
adenoids. until the child is out of its
mothers arms; it is frequently as diff
ficult task to feed a four-year-old
properly as younger child. 1t is
urged upon mothers to bring all chill
dren from six months up to six years
of age. Registration closes April %
If your baby is not registered it can
not be scored and graded. The in
fant's wear department of the Pelle-
tier store on the second floor is the
place provided
DR.. Clark city health officer and
DR.. Lull, county health officer have
| been added to the general executive
| committee. These physicians will be
| in constant attendance during baby
week to inspect all babies, and thus
prevent any child suffering with a
communicable disease from mingling
| with the other babies. Their familiar
| ity with the health conditions in the
homes of the city and of the county
will greatly facilitate this work.
The love for her baby is born in
/ every woman's heart but the know
ledge of how 20 care for that baby is
a matter of education. For that rea-
son the educational features of baby
week will be of benefit to the mother
of every baby in Topeka and vicinity
