The Wsrid's forsmest Baby Sav;na
Expert,

r..
BY the various means outlined in my
preceding article. the Society for the
Health Of Women and Children has
caused motherhood to be taken more
seriously and child welfare has become
one OF the dominant topics of the day
IN New Zealand. 1t is subject of
permanent public interest. of constant
and earnest minded attention.
Looking broadly at the function of
the society's baby hospitals, they are
primarily schools for mothers. In one
sense the healing Of babies is the least
important aspect of the society's hos
pital work. The Institution is an ever
open object lesson by means OF which

You see how insistent the New

not suffice for the baby to be well

good health but have been brought to
deaths door by pure rfgnorance-.by
lack of knowledge on the part Of their
mothers concerning the fundamental
laws and needs of life.
So it has been all along our first
tenet to acquire, investigate, and classify
knowledge concerning the health of
mothers and children: and secondly. it
mas been our purpose to diffuse this
knowledge by all means throughout the
community.

Two fires destroyed five buildings on
the plantation of the Griffin Tobacco
Co. yesterday. Fred B. Griffin, presi-
dent of the company, estimates the
loss at between $4,000 and $4,000.
The property was fully covered by in
surance, but difficulty will be expert
enced in replacing sixty tons of cotton
seed meal, tent cloth and other sup
plies. Cottonseed meal is practically
unobtainable for immediate delivery.
The first fire entailed loss of 81, OOO
and was in the plantation heating plant
near the Central New England Railway
station at Grihin's. Valient work by
the plantation fire department prevent
ed the fire from spreading to adjoining
buildings.
The second fire which burned four
buildings, had it's origin in forest fire
two miles distant from Griffin's. About
| o'clock in the afternoon employees
noticed cloud of smoke in the woods.
One of the men started on horseback
to investigate while others hastened to
a group of sheds which would be en-
dangered if the fire was not checked.
A spark carried by the high wind fell
on the roof of one of the sheds. Bar
rels of water were in readiness and a
ladder was quickly raised TO the root
but before the fire could be reached
half the dry roof was in flames.

would certainly be booming. AS it is,
it is limited chiefly to the from hand

of leaf such even as would have never

and eagerly taken. Philippine tobacco
has, therefore, entered if not exactly
as a rival to the old well-known types
of domestic and foreign leaf but as a
welcome factor in helping out the de-
fciency and is being exploited even by
large importers. On the other hand,
our packers and importers are some-

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, Wis. April 19, 1918.
The sowing of the plant beds for an
other tobacco crop is we'll under way
and the white canvas tops begin to dot
the fields throughout the growing sec
tions. Quite serious shortage of
suitable seed has developed and there
has been some hustling among growers
to satisfy their needs. The most of
the distributors who make business
of supplying this demand were sold out
some time ago. How far this shortage
may effect the intended acreage can
not yet be foretold. The weather con-
ditions have become quite favorable
for the sowing of the seed beds and a
couple Of rains have put the soil in
prime condition.
A few belated crops are yet to be re-
ceived from country hands before the
deliveries of the 1917 are finished, but
in the main the crop is out of the hands
of the growers.
The packing season is likely to con-
tinue for some weeks yet with the
larger operators.
The shipments out of storage to east
ern factory points are assuming quite
large proportions again. Since last re-
port 20 car loads of binders have gone
forward.
