line is the lowering Of the death
rate of children and the first step
is the examination of every child
in the country to ascertain his phys
zeal disabilities for the purpose Of
remedying them.
Should there be but one child
saved in every county" says Mrs.
Ella b. Kehrer of Anderson, who
spoke here last Wednesday. "one
mothers heart will be spared its
aching and one life will be saved
for our nation"
Experts have said that many chill
drens ailments go undetected; the
children are pronounced "frail -
delicate" "puny," and are allowed
often 10 go on through the years of
their lives-if they live at all-un-
healthy and unhappy as a result of
a neglected ailment of childhood.
Already proof of the Importance
of the child registration has been
brought home 10 US of st. Joseph
county. The mother Of one small
boy has learned that her son is suf-
fering from curvature of the spine
and distende1 bowels, facts which
she was entirely unaware of until
yesterday afternoon. The boy gives
little sign Of such a condition at
present for he is bright and active
although not possessed Of great en-
duranCe.
Physicians and nurses without
whose services the work would fail.
have responded TO the appeal made
10 them for their aid in this work
which has received the hearty in
dOrsement Of Pres't Wilson. The
parents of children in South Bend
have shown great interest in the
matter and those in charge Of the
work have expressed the opinion
that it is their ambition and belief
that every child in st. Joseph county
will have been registered long be-
fore the end Of the allotted two
months period granted by the gov
eminent for the county.
