That is the slogan OF the nation

The campaign IS under the diree-
ton OF the National Council or De-
fense and the Childden's Bureau OF

cooperation. II will last year.
The immediate cause which led TO
the taking up OF the campaign was
the high rate OF physical defective
men found in tho draft calls. who
might have been able soldiers had
their physical defects been corrected
while they were yet children. Then'
too, England and France have given
great thought and attention to the
child saving problem as the result
of the discovery that for every nine
men lost at the front. twelve babies
were lost at home through prevent
able causes.
To Save One Third.
Last year. 100000 babies died In
the United States. Many OF these
might have been saved, and this year
It is the aim OF the present campaign
to save at least 100000
