where such information is difficult and
ofttimes impossible to obtain the Ba-
bies' Health Contests are valuable be-
yond measure, as is proved by the fact
that in the city of Chicago statistics
show tlrat ii per cent of the children

lose only 31a per cent. This demon
strates beyond argument that the Ba-

be provided with the knowledge of how
to care for her baby, how to feed it,
how to let it sleep, how to dress it. and
how to remedy defects.
