MAKES A MOTHER HAPPY
Public Health Association Straight
cning a Little Child's Legs.

There is a little colored baby and
young mother in Topeka who are go
ing to be made very happy. The baby's
legs and feet were not growing
straight. Mrs. c. c. Bailey. superin-
tendent of the Public Health Nursing
association, learned of the case. She
told the mother to bring the little one
to the office in the city hall and they
would try to do something for the
limbs that were starting out crooked.
This morning Dr. w. B. Steward, city
and county physician. Strengthened out
the limbs, which are still soft and
pliable. and wrapped the legs and feet
in a plaster cast. The cast will be left
on for a time and then another will
be put on. Little by little the correc-
ton will be made and it is believed
that finally the youngsters legs will
be just as straight as those of any lit
tie girl baby in town.
1t is possible that the mother had
rot realized before that things of that
nature were done thru the Public
Pubic Health Nursing association and
might perhaps have hesitated about
having anything done on account of
the cost which she might have thought
of as prohibitive. But the association
makes no charge for the big WORK
they are accomplishing

Folks who are accustomed to feel

daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous

Every one. whether ailing, sick or

phosphate in it to wash from the

Here in the great cantonment hos

come to the boy but never having
been on a train. he was afraid to VEN

friends prevented the old man from
starting the long journey east on
horse. The Red Cross notified the
father that his son cannot live and
that the body will be sent in charge
of a soldier to Susanville.
And in reply came message.
He would wait, the old man said,
until the body came to him and then
he would take his own far from the
sounds of civilization to a grassy slope
near the home cabin in the northern
California mountains, where as baby
his son had romped. He believed the
boy would like best to lie near his old
