Protection
Of Motherhood New
Plan Being Urged

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-A plan
for enabling every American mother
to ave the care she needs when her
baby is born, is proposed by Miss Ju-
liam c. Lathrop, Chief of the Chill
dren's Bureau of the L. S. Depart
ment of Labor, in her fifth annual re-
port made public today. Through
federal grants like those made for
agricultural extension in this coun-
try, Miss Lathrop suggests that the
state and federal governments could
combine in the United States to max
accessible and available to every
mother the ARE she needs for her
self and her child.
This plan is the result of five years
study of the conditions affecting the
welfare of mothers and babies
throughout the United States. AS DR..
Grace L. Meigs of the Children's Blu
reau has shown in her study of ma
ternal mortality at least $4,000 Am
erican mothers die each yea from
causes connected with COLLABORATING.
Realizing what the i'll health and
suffering which lie behind his startl-
ing figure mean to the home and to
the child's wellbeing, the Children's
Bureau, in trying to find out why ba-
bies die, has sought the reasons for
this great waste of mothers lives.
The bureau reports a great C of
facilities for caring for mothers in the
United States.
In the great western grazing states
la mother often can not get the care
of doctor or nurse when her baby is
born; perhaps the nearest physician
lives IS miles away. In older parts
of the country the same inaccessible
ity of skilled care prevails; it sug-
gests why. although the male death
rate is greater than the female
throughout life. rural women be-
tween 20 and As die at a rate nearly
equal to thai Of country men.
Better care for mothers, with gov
eminent aid to local authorities and
agencies, has been part of Great Brit
aims war program; h has achieved
for 1916 her lowest infant mortality
rate. The government Of New Yea
land. whose infant mortality rate is
scarcely half that Of the United
States, has for several years afforded
to New Zealand mothers care at child
birth.
If the lives and wellbeing of moth
ers and babies in the United States
are to be protected, Miss Lathrop be-
lieves that public health nurses must
be maintained to show the mother
miles out in the country and the mo-
ther in the crowded tenement how TO
care for herself and her children.
Schools and universities should offer
instruction covering the field of by
gene for mothers and children, for
of varying ages and circum-
stances.
At a convenient center it should be
possible to secure examination of well
children and expert advice as to their
best development. Adequate confine-
ment care should be available. Hos
pital facilities should be at the com
mand Of every American mother and
child.

preme sacrifice. Under this law, every
soldier and sailor and nurse, commits
stoned and enlisted, and of any age
has the right between now and Febru-
ary II, 1918, to take out life and total
disability insurance up to $4,000 at
very low cost, with the Government
without medical examination. This
right is purely optional. The soldiers
and sailors are not compelled to take
insurance, but if they desire to eX-
ercise the right, they must do so be-
fore the 18th of February, 1918. The
cost ranges from IS cents monthly, at
the age of p, to $1.20 monthly, at
the age of 81, for each $1,000 Of IN
suTance. This is a small charge on
mans pay-small in proportion to the
benefits it may bring. The premiums
will be deducted from his pay, if he de-
sires, thus eliminating trouble on his
part.
To provide adequate protection I'M
til February 18th, 1918, during the
period when the soldiers and sailors
are learning the details of this law, the
Government automatically insures
each man and woman, commissioned
or enlisted in the military service of
the United States. 1t pays the man
$25 month during total permanent
disability; if he dies within 20 years,
it pays the rest of 240 monthly in
.5allments of $25 each to his wife, child
or widowed mother.
I desire to call the provisions of this
just and generous law to the attention
Of our officers and enlisted men and
women so that they may not be depriv-
ed of their rights through lack of
knowledge. Full information may be
OBTAINED from the bureau of War Risk
Insurance Of the Treasury Department
Washington, D. c.. | earnestly urge
that the officers Of the Army and Navy
give to the men under their command
all possible aid IN helping them to un-
derstand fully the benefits that this
insurance may bring to their families
and the small cost at which it may be
obtained.
This is the greatest measure of pro-
lection ever offered to it's fighting
forces by any nation in the history of
the world. 1t is not charity; it IS
simply justice to the enlisted men and
women and to their loved ones at home
and each and every one of them should
promptly take the benefits of this
great law.

Fatherhood of God. The Christ re-
demption is for the whole man spirit
soul, and body. By concious taking
of spirit life and spirit life and spirit
substance the Mortal puts on Immor-
tality, the corruptible puts on incor-
ruption. Paul said "The whole ere
alton groaneth and travaileth in pain
together waiting for the manifestation
of the sons of God-towit, the re-
demption of the body" This is the
Truth that will bring to US the free
dom promised to the children of God
freedom from all evil, here and now.
A wonderful time is coming with the
establishment of the Christ kingdom
on earth-the promises seem almost
too good to be true. Shall we be ''ac-
counted worthy?" eye hath not seen
nor ear heard the good that hath pre-
pared for them that love Him" This
means that the man of sense has no
comprehension of the exquisite jews
of spirit.

INSURANCEAN
PROTECTION

To the officers and enlisted men and
women of the army and navy of the u
nited States and their relatives:
The secretary of the Treasury, thru
the bureau of War Risk Insurance, has
been charged with the administration
of the War Insurance Law enacted by
the Congress as measure of justice
to the men and women who have been
called to give their lives, if need be,
in the service of their country.
wish to acquaint you with the ben
efts and privileges which your Govern
ment has placed at your disposal. It
is essential that you and your families
at home should know of your and their
rights under this law in order that full
advantage may be taken of them.
To care for the wife and children of
the enlisted man during his service,
the War Insurance Law compels him
to contribute up to one-half of his pay
for their support. The Government
on application, will generously add to
this an allowance of from SIS to $50
a month, according to the size of the
family. Moreover, if the enlisted man
will make some further provision him
self for a dependent parent, brother,
sister, or grandchild, they may be in
Guided in the Government allowance
If, as a result of injuries incurred
or disease contracted in the line of
duty, an officer or enlisted man or an
Army or Navy nurse should be dis
abled, provision is made for compensa-
ton of from $50 to 500 month to
him, and, should he die, compensation
of from $40 to SIS month will be paid
to his wife, his child, or his widowed
mother.
In order, however, fully to protect
each person and family, Congress has
made it possible for every soldier, sail
or, and nurse to obtain life and total
disability insurance. This insurance
applies to injuries received while he
or she is in the service or after he or
she has left it.
Exposure to the extra dangers of
| war makes the cost of life insurance
in private life insurance companies
prohibitive 1t was, therefore, plain
duty and obligation for the Govern
ment to assume the risk of insuring
hundreds of thousands of our soldiers
and sailors who are making the su-

FOOD OUTLOOK
FOR WINTER

In an address to the press CORE
spondents, Herr Won Waldow, the Sec
rotary of the State for the War Food
Ministry, gave an account of the pros
oects for the winter, summarized in
the Hamburgische Correspondent and
he Munchner Neueste Nachrichten.
The conditions of corn and other
fodder were, he admitted, rather diff
cult. The harvest would fall below
that of 1915, and it would require con-
sideration to do justice to the com
peting requirements of the army, of
agriculture, of industry, and of town
traffic In the first line came, Of
course, the needs of the army and the
maintenance of agricultural produc-
ton. A sufficient supply Of fodder for
agricultural draft horses must be
secured. 1t seemed probable that
when this requirement had been full
filled there would not be fodder suffi-
cient for fattening swine and for sus-
tanning horned cattle in their present
numbers. Should that prove to be the
case measures must be taken in time,
that is, before the beginning of winter
20 bring about a systematic reduction
Of the number of swine and horned
cattle. This would, of course, have an
effect upon the meat supply as well
as upon that of milk and fat. In the
case of milk there would be temper
airy increase of the ration followed
by subsequent decrease.
The preservation of the supplies of
milk and butter during the winter
would be difficult. 1t would be nece-
ssary to extend the system of collect
ting places to receive the dairy produce
in the districts where milk was pro-
duced. With this problem the i'm
perial fat Office was necessarily Crap
ping.
