Women!

Whats the worth of one babys life?
 The time has when you must put money value on it.
 So much Red Cross money avialabe many babies restored.
 little less Red Cross money available, babies lost by default
 It's as plain as that.
 When you made that first Red Cross investment you had fairly clear idea that there plenty to be done and that the Red Cross would make every dollar ot money and every minute of time count
 But have you clear picture of what price some body will have to pay for delayed dollar hundred dollars withheld?
 You can't read casual page of Red reports from where lover there without endangerng the cooness ot your decision as to "how much"
 Suppose you had found another use' for your Red Cross money while ago and corresponding part of the piece of work described below went undone:
 Gas bombs were being used. 750 children suddenly thrust upon the Pefects hand Twentyone of the child infants under year and the remainder were under eight years-herded together in an old barracks dirty, practically unfurnshed and with no sanitary app- ances Sick children crowded in with the well and skin disease and verin abounded Within two days the Red Cross workers had cleaned all the children provided barracks provided medical and nurses for the babes suitable food classified all the refugees prevent the separation of members of the family
 Was that money we'll spent?
 Were those babies worth while? Well, how much were they worth, per baby?
 They are the future of Francehe hope and pledge of civilization We in their debt for what their fathers and mothers have paid aready-n hunger in cold in mutt iation, in slavery.
 We shall pay up, too. Your first instament there in tme-now how much?

Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1918-12-23

DREWOUS to 1883 it was neces-
sary to add milk to all prepared
L foods for the infant and invalid,
in order to make properly balanced
diet. But it was difficult and often
impossible to obtain good milk in
cities and tropical climates.
The vital problem of how to supply
a reliable milk for people of all ages
in any climate that would be avail
able at all times, was finally solved
by HORLICK of Racine, Wis.,,
US. A., after years Of labor and ex-
pertinent.
HORL1CK discovered a process OF
reducing fresh milk by careful evapo-
ration in a vacuum to a powder form,
which contained all the valuable con-
stituents of fresh milk, would keep
indefinitely in any climate. and yet
be soluble in hot or cold water.
This was the first time in history
that milk was reduced to powder
form, soluble in water, retaining its
natural qualities when dissolved, and
with all the valuable Vitan7ines
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1918-12-23
Why matted milk was originated
because Of the impossibility Of obtaining
good milk at all times and in all places

(which are destroyed by ordinary
cooking) preserved intact.
To good rich milk HORL1CK
added the valuable extract of Matted
Barley and Wheat, containing all the
nutrition Of these grains, and reduced
them to powder form, with perma-
nent keeping qualities, and soluble in
water. It was found that by the
action of the Malt ferments on the
milk, its digestibility was markedly
increased over ordinary milk, so as
to render it easily assimilated by the
weak stomach Of the infant, the in
valid, and the aged.
This well balanced milk food was
thus perfected, which third Of a
century's experience has amply
proved capable in itself of supporting
infant and adult life.
This new milk food HORLICK
named Matted Milk; it has proved a
boon to thousands upon thousands,
from infancy to old age, of every
race and cline, and is to be found in
every city in the civilized world

To the North and South Poles
"Horlick's Matted Milk" writes
Captain Peary, was always on
the firing line; no field party was
dispatched without it, and it
never failed to make good prompt
