| The work of the Child Welfare
committee is progressing satisfactory
| ", and the committee is grateful for
the hearty cooperation of the moth
ers. About one hundred children, ages
ranging from five weeks to five years,
have been weighed and measured and
the average has been very good. The
committee are fortunate in having
the help of Mrs. Davis, formerly a
Milwaukee Welfare Nurse. Tues
day committee from West Allis Wis
tied cur rooms and were well pleased
with the work. Wednesday morning
was devoted to the weighing and
measuring of the children of the kim

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

the mothers bring their children as
soon as possible.
| After all has been said and done,
this war is plainly survival of the
fittest. Fine sentiment and fine feel
ings will not win. There is but one
road and that is to become more pow
erful than the enemy. 1t is might
and nothing but might. The last
ounce of strength must be put into
the contest. What each individual
| gives, counts in forming the grand
aggregate, which, if large enough, will
win. If the armies of our Allies and
our own can hold out and still have
considerable more power left Gntil
the foe has exhausted his forces, we
will win. If we cannot hold up until
this time arrives, we lose. The impor-
lance then of adding every bit, no
matter how small, is apparent. Every.
little added, be it food, money or man
power, makes just that much more
and altogether will make the grand
total which, from sheer might, will
win.

by the older boys of the Sunday
School. AS no program exclusively
for male characters could be obtained,
it was necessary to create one. Two
scenes were taken from the book,
"Jesus Christ's men," dealing with
