cause OF the absence of DR.. Smith,
who was to have spoken on the sub
Ject of clean milk, covered both sub
1ects in his talk, as wei as givlns
some timely advice on the spread Of
communicable diseases.
One point which DR.. Fuller spoke of
in his talk on prenatal care is that
there is no nervous connection be-
tween the mother and~the child and
that there Is no such thing as mark
ing a child by any experience the
mother may have in time Of preg-
nancy. In speaking of communicable
diseases he laid the burden of re-
spons1bility on the parents and. said
that II contagious diseases are on the

If they are on the decrease the par
ents deserve the credit He said too,
