 No cattle raiser would allow one in every 10 of his cattle to die from pre- ventable causes, and American moth CTS and fathers are at last becoming aroused to the necessity of saving their babies. The United States government, through it's "children's bureau,' joined last year with the National Federation of Women's clubs in inaugurating a a nation wide movement to reduce this terrible mortality among our little ones.

Mrs. Henley has called a conference of all women in terested in saving the babies. the meet ing to be held in the council chamber of the city hall, Wednesday morning at 10:30.
