CHILD. WELFARE
IMPORTANT WORK
FOR WARTIME

Why should we fuss about babies
now? That is a question which wom-
Ell may we'll be asking, for they are
busy with surgical dressings and
knitting things essential to the COM
fort of the soldiars. But the peace
of mind of the father who Is soldier
ing in France depends on knowing
that his helpless children at home
are safe. And war conditions affect
children in a hundred ways, although
American children have escaped the
more startling horrors which have
darkened the lives Of the children
Of war-ravished France and Belgium.
The children's bureau of the U. s.
department of labor has asked the
men and women who r working to
win the raj not to forget the war
whether their fathers are fighting for
their country in the trenches in
France or here behind the lines. It
asks that the protection given all
OF Americas children be increased
now when the foundations of the
country's future strength and democ-
acy are being laid. for the health
Of the child is the power Of the ma
tion." This wartime work for chill
goal is to save the lives Of 100.0 900
children under five years of age DUR
ing the second al of the war. This
the saving of one-third Of the
800, 900 lives of children under five
which are lost every year in the Unit
ed States. Authorities agree that at
least half of these deaths could be
prevented If knowledge Of the best
modern methods Of child care and ia
cilities for following out the direc-
tons given by skilled specialists were
accessible to all children instead of
to comparatively few. II America
can prevent ven part of these deaths
she will have demonstrated her abil-
ity to get for her children a better
chance Of life and health.
England and France have realized
that work for better children Is vital
war work, and England has proved
the value of what she has done by
bringing down her baby death rate to
the lowest point in her history. Their
achievements are an inspiration to
the eleven million women Of the
woman's committee of the Council of
National Defense who have deter
mined that 100, 900 children's lives
shall be saved in Children's Year. The
woman's committee nowhhas $3.50 To-
cal units. A constantly increasing
number of these units are .undertak-
ing to forward work that will enable
communities to give their children q
better chance.

rious kinds of war-work that Ire be-
ing done by the organizations, and. all
Of them are. eager to do their best in

The chief feature 4of, the program
was an. address on food conservation
by Miss Eleanor. Barker, a national
all of the district club. meetings ,in
the state this spring. Miss Barker Is
said to be M of the most able speak
ers representing the federal food ad-
ministration, and her addresses have
been received with much enthusiasm
by the club women of the state, and
by all others who have theard:her. 1t
is Interesting to know that Miss Bark
er will be in Grand Forks on Satur-

club work, much along the lines that
have been adopted in former times.
They feel that their club work is es-
sential particularly for its recreation
al value, and club leaders and men
and women of the country most &C.
tive in patriotic affairs, have emphas-
lied the need of recreation If: people
are to keep themselves At to meet tina
demands of the times. The clubs, as
organized groups Of women; have
been most easily accessible for organs
lied war activities, ana they were
among the first to become engaged in
many branches of the war work.
They expect to continue Their work,
not only as a war bit, but as a re-
creation as we'll.
At the closing session yesterday
afternoon the clubs of the district
presented Mrs. Wick and Mrs. .McIn-
tyre with handsome silk flags on tall
standards.
The delegates were entertained
pleasantly by the Aneta residents, a
