Weighing the Baby
Picking up newspaper here, there
and anywhere, the headline weigh
ing the Baby,"-is likely to be noticed,
and even those people who are not
particularly interested will soon find
out that strong effort is being made
to conserve the baby crop.
Everybody loves a baby, and the
universal tribute paid to babyhood is
right and very necessary, in order
that provision be made for the rights
and privileges of infancy. without
which the natural handicaps of civili-
cation would prove too much for the
helpless little being.
Weighing land measuring and grad
ing the baby, which heretofore has
been arranged by woman's clubs to
display the darlings and obtain prizes
for the latest and prettiest of them,
now, however. is being carried on by
competent ones who realize baby must
not be neglected, even in the unrest
of war times. Everybody can not get
a perfect score, but mothers may get
a coed idea as to where improvement
may be made. May Florida soon show
in this good work another champion
ship medal with the highest percent
