Much Interest Shown in
Baby Health Conference

Just what is a Baby Health con-
ference? We have all heard of better
baby contests where prizes are award
ed to babies chiefly on the basis OF
beauty and appearance. The Baby
Health session to be held Wednesday
afternoon, March 18th in connection
with the Community Welfare con
ference is of an entirely different
character and purpose. For this rea-
son a word of explanation should be
made.
Any mother entering her baby for
the health examination at this ses-
sion will have her baby very carefully
examined by experts. The examina-
ton will relate to mental and physi-
cal development and condition of the
mouth, eye, ear. nose and throat
Every feature of the child will be
judged in relation to standards based
on the examination of a large num-
Der of babies. The score card which
will be used is that supplied by the
American Medical association and has
nation wide approval. If the child
has any abnormalities of the head,
hair, scalp, face and neck, chest. back,
abdomen, limbs, skin, muscles, etc.
certain per cent will be scored off
for each abnormality found. The den
tai physicians will examine the mouth
to determine whether the gums are
unhealthy or abnormally shaped,
whether there is a hard palate, high
arch. or other deformity caused by
pacifiers, thumb sucking. etc. The
number of teeth will be judged ac-
cording to the standards and any
defects in the teeth will discount
on the baby's score. Similarly will
the specialist examining the eye, ear.
nose and throat discount for abnor-
malities which may be found in any
of these organs.
The total score will be based on
the basis of these and a certain frac-
tion of a per cent vii be discounted
for each abnormality found.
The helpful feature about the baby
examination as it Will be conducted
is that a score card will provided each
mother who enters her baby for ex-
animation and this will tell her ex-
actly what she needs to do to cor
rect any physical defects which may

health.
The Delta independent., 1917-02-23

Mothers should not hesitate to enter
their babies because they may not
appear to be quite as healthy and
pretty as some other babies. AS a
matter of fact, beauty will only count
as a very small per cent in the total
score. The object is to give the
babies who are entered thorough
physical examination and to show
just what is needed to give each child
the best possible advantage for both
its physical and mental growth and
development
Mothers who are interested in en-
tering their babies for the examination
should consult Mrs. w. S. Cleland,
Mrs. John Davis and Miss Ella New
Owing to the thoroughness of the ex-
animation only thirty babies will be
admitted. The age limit of babies
will be from six months to five years.
Mothers will be asked to bring their
babies six minutes apart so that the
children will not to remain long for
their examination. Also please be on
time that it may not become tiresome.

Coop Telephone
Co. Improvement

The Coop. telephone company, our
home institution, is making extensive
arrangements to broaden and simplify
its business, and at he same time
give better service to its patrons.
About April 1st the office will be
moved from its present quarters in
the second story of the Delta Ma
tional Bank building, to the ground
floor Immediately under it in the Of
fices until recently occupied by the
White Undertaking parlors.
The business of this thriving COM
pany has increased with such rapid
strides within the past few months
that it has become necessary to In
stall double switch board and to
employ two operators instead of one,
as heretofore The lines are being
extended every day and more territory
covered. Within the past four months
over forty new phones have been in
stalled on the Delta exchange alone,
The new equipment will be of the
NSis iatese hioueih 'ype anu viii 'ie
competent operators employed by this
company, will be able to give the
public the very best of service.
The line reaches to within about
three miles of Olathe, and it looks
as IL an arrangement might soon be
made whereby both Montrose and
Delta counties would be under the Co
Op. system.

ThOS. Blackwell
Makes City Visit

Thos. Blackwell of the North Fork
Times at Hotchkiss was a business
and pleasure visitor to the county seat
on Friday, and while here dropped
into the Independent office and paid
us a call.
About all Mr.. Blackwell was willing
to talk about was the oil well that
they are putting down in the North
Fork section. He says that they are
plugging away on it and that they are
still confident that oil will be struck.
The bore is down now some 5000 feet
and they have been in practically the
same formation all the way. That
the baler brings up strong smelling
stuff That the gas now raises the
water in the bottom several feet. That
the last few days point stronger than
ever to the belief that there is oil
and that they are close on it right now.
They have experienced very little
difficulty of late in prosecuting the
work. both from a money standpoint
and making good headway.

Some of the best wrestling seen
in Delta for long time was staged

and timekeeper and C. X. Maxon as
referee. Before the program started
Mr. Gallup read a letter from wrest-
Ter named e. E. Elliott, of Marquette,
Kansas, who wanted to meet Parrish.
He said he understood Ben was the
middle-weight champion of Colorado
and would be pleased to meet him for
all or part of the receipts. Joe Gallup
had quite a wrestle with the letter and
after using every hold known to the
pursuer of the game, was able TO
make his audience understand that

Mr.. Maxon, the genial little referee
is a fine fellow but we have one OBJ
lection to him, which may be explain

the bout. 1t was as follows: Travel

ECkert Has New
Industry-Success

During the past few months num-

existance in Delta county, which prom

among these is the creamery recently

ranged for drainage. The machinery
is OF the very latest modern type and
il connected with pure mountain water,

butter
Within this building everything is
kept scrupulously clean, live steam
sterilizes all of the butter making
equipment, while all the cream is
thoroughly pasteurized before churn-
ing. In addition to this a tightly sealed
sanitary combination churn and butter
worker eliminates every particle OF
dust.
Thus. we conclude that every poss.
ible precaution is taken by the man

to insure the most sanitary condi

wholesome 1t is packed in specially
prepared waxed butter cartons.
The manager tells us that within
the past year the increase in the
production of butterfat has been fully
100 per cent and that he expects TO
double by another year. so it will
readily be seen that this industry
bids fair TO become one of the lead
ers within very short space of time.
