widowed fathers" are a new problem since
the influenza epidemic robbed thousands OF homes
of the mother and homemaker.
Almost any woman can make a home Tor ner
children, given the dollars and cents to buy Dreau
and butter and shoes but it takes so much more
than dollars and cents to enable a father to make
q home. Women engaged in administering moth
erss pensions funds and other forms OF welfare
work have found that funds were totally made
ouate to solve the problem of the father left q
widower with several small children.
MANY men whose wives were stricken during
the epidemic are hardWOrking, homel0ving Ia
theirs. who cling to the children with a tenderness
that is heartbreaking. 1t is our mission to mo
homes for the children near enough so that the
father can see them every day and keep closely in
touch with their little affairs. The father can
often paw for the childrens board. It is the extra
things that women must do for the children that
make it impossible for him to keep them at nome.
The milk problem alone is large enough and
complex enough to keep thousands of women
busy. 1t is stated that for every American man
who fell on the battlefields of Europe nine OF our
babies have died. These are the. startling figures
Of the bureau Of child hygiene. The war period
total was 100000, against our casualty list Of 30,
600.

Of health, frankly brands us as a nation careless
of human life, and figures fasten her charge on us.
Rut the experience of the New York Diet Kitchen
association (and no doubt Of other kindred
groups) has been that when these facts are really
brought to our consciousness helpful response Is
immediate. That this response falls so far short
of the need can only mean that the full weight OF
s1ch figures is not visualized as 1t should be.
IF the horror Of a huge cityful of little slaugh-
tered baby bodies were really brought home to the
parent heart Of our great-hearted nation it would
quicken to one mighty effort the determination
that such things should no longer be.
Dr.. Harvey Wiley, long head of the national bu-
reau of health, says of the workers for child con-
servation that they are "n the very front line
trenches Of humanity, on duty without rest, fight
ing against sterrifc odds, hut as certain of ultimate
victory as the forces of the allies were against
the devastating Hun.
Can it be possible that our charity must have
tho perspective of distance? It would seem so, for
NO unusual difficulty was found in financing with
American money five milk stations in London re-
cnntlv. Yet figures showed that while the per-
centage Of malnutrition among London babies was
70 ner cent. that of New York babies during the
same period was. 21 per cent. A speaker lately re-
marked that ~New York needs to be three to five
thousand miles from itself in order to be aroused
to a sense of it's crying needs"

TO the average book buyer who buys
his book In a book store and takes it

must appear the point of view of his
fellow citizen who buys his books at
auction and, very likely, never reads
them at all; for example, the happy
purchaser who recently paid $14,250 in
New York, for a copy of Milton's
"Comus!" There are, however, some
remarkable things about this "Comus."
There is hardly another copy like It

THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit 60 the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impre0ses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in it's preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.
