What 5 in a Name?
AUGUSTA.
BY Mildred Marshall

Augusta is a regal name. It
figures prominently in early history
and has named empresses. queens.
and other ruling potentates. In the
beginning it was employed merely
as the feminine of the masculine
title of power. Augustus. This ven
cradle and honorable name-it sig
nifies honorable" by the way-was
the aEnOmon conferred by the SEN
ate upon the second Caesar. and it
meant "Tevered' or set apart" 1t
was given with the idea Of confer
ring majesty upon him without Of
Tending the citizens by the use of
king"
At Rome, after DiocIetian. the
Augustus was always the reigninE
emperor and the Augusta his wife.
Thus Augusta came to be ia
vOrite feminine name in Italy. Ger
many adopted it as Auguste. and
contracted it to those other Teutonir
favOrites. Cute, GusteI. and Asia.
In England Augusta appeared intact
and as such has fiourished through
the centuries. The modern craze
for cOntractions and diminutives
has brought out the Gussie. which
alas, is more popular in this cOun-
try than the original stately An
gUsta.
The ruby. emblem Of majesty. is
a fitting talismanic gem for An
gusta. 1t is believed to endow ber
with courage. power. and wealth

No man or woman can be truly

HEALTHY BABIES FOR UNCLE SAM
Head of Chldrens Bureau Says Mother Is Responsible, in
Measure, for All Children
Mother Protects Child by
Demanding Public Pro-
lection of All Children.
By JULIA LATHROP,
Chief, L. :. Chndrcn's Bureau.

one of the most important lessons
for a mother to learn is that her
baby is not safe until every mothers
baby is safe. The diseases that re-
suit from lack of proper care and
treatment and unsanitary surround
ings are not limited to babies born
into poor homes or to neglected
babies. but they often spread to
babies who are well-cared for. a
good mother. accordingly, is in a
measure responsible for all children.
II Is a part of her duty to her own
child to stimulate community ac-
tivities 0f the sort that will make
it possible for every mother to give
her child the care it needs.
1t has been shown that the chief
cause of death among babies dur
ing the first year of life, and es-
pecialIy during the perilOus first
month, is lack of proper care of the
mother during pregnancy and at
the time of confinement Many
women who can well afford ade-
quate prenatal and confinement care
neglect to secure il because they do
not realize its Importance. There
are many, however, for whom such
care is out of reach. To make care
available for these mothers is a
community responsibility. Many
communities are accepting this re-
sponsibility and are providing
classes for mothers, prenatal Centers
to which prospective mothers can
go for advice. free confinement care.
and free nursing services. What is
your community doing for the mother
who cannot. unaided, secure the
care she needs?
Safeguard Milk supply.
What do you know about the
milk supply of your community?
Does the milk furnished for babies
come from clean or dirty cows.
healthy or diseased ones? Is it
handled in a sanitary fashion? Is
/ it kept cool and clean from the
| time it leaves the dairy until II is
received in the home? Is it adulter-
ated or treated with prcservatives? ?
1t is obvious that the milk supply
| can be safeguarded only by civic
action. II your community is lag
ging behind, it is your duty to help
start a movement for the proper

The Itching Torture
OF Skin Diseases

1t will not be so difficult to md
yourself of skin diseases if you will
but realize that these troubles
originate in the blood. and if you
expect real substantial relief YOU
must treat them through the blood.
Millions of tiny disease germs find
lodgment in the blood. where they
multiply rapidly and attack some
part Of the surface Of the skin
where there can be no resistance.
Realize, then that you can know
no real and genuine relief until
these germs are eradicated from
your blood.

ton in the treatment Of skin dis
