nection with the Community Welfare
conference, will be open to the public
from 1000 to 11:30 each forenoon
3:45 to 5:15 each afternoon, and from
Gas to 7:45 in the evening. The ex-
hibit is designated not for display but
to be instructive and afford informa-
tion that will be of practical value. 1t
will comprise four main sections de-
voted to the concrete stuff of sub
iects relating to Child Welfare, Public
Health, Civic Improvement and Educa-
tional Interest.
In the Child Welfare section, there
will be booths each containing the
unique exhibit. Approaching one of
these booths, a placard will extend an
invitation for you to walk in and ask
questions. In front of you a light will
flash every fifteen seconds. Every
time the light flashes, you are told that
somewhere in the United States baby
is born, and that the life goes out
of every eighth one of these babies
before it is a year old. Next to this
chart will be a panel showing a mother
nursing her child. 1t will tell you
that this baby has seven chances to
live to one for the bottle fed baby.
Other demonstrations that will com
mand your attention will be demon
strations as to how to properly feed.
clothe and bathe the baby; things
which are monster enemies to baby's
welfare about which every mother
should be informed But if you want
to know the value of this one exhibit
you must plan to come and see it and
have the mothers in charge explain
its significance. The booth devoted to
the welfare of the mother: the young
ster in the home, and the health of
the child of school age will be no less
interesting and instructive.
Passing on to the Public Health
section. you must stop and study the
exhibit devoted to the home in rela-
ton to public health, Take look
into the contrast kitchen illusion. For
20 seconds you will see Mrs Docare's
kitchen all well-arranged, sanitary and
clean. For another 90 seconds you will
get a glimpse of Mrs. Don'tcare's kit
chen. This will show ill arrangement
and indifference as to cleanliness. But
this is not all. Before you pass on you
must study the charts and panels and
other items of interest to the home.
We cannot stop to tell you all about
the valuable oral Hygiene exhibit. The
: one devoted to the prevention of CON
tagious diseases. You must come and
see them yourself They will be free
to all.
The civic improvement section will
be no less interesting and as fully
instructive. Here you must stop and
study the good road exhibit. The 80
bit bromide plates of good road models
and views furnished by the govern
ment bureau of Public Roads at Wash
ington. will demand your attention.
There will be numerous road maps and
valuable bulletins. This will be an
information bureau on road work. Stop,
look it over. and ask questions. The
committee will be there to make eN-
! plantations. In the remaining sections
: will appear the work of our boys and
' girls. You will have an opportunity
: to see the results of the work of our
schools. We can't begin to tell You
( about it and you must come and see.
( This is only glimpse of the Com

dicates what may be expected from it.
