COMPLETION.

Memorial hospital will be COM
pleted and ready for occupancy on or
about Feb. Is, Architect Butterworth
believes. The building is now en-
tirely enclosed and plastering of walls

paid in. Letters are now being sent
out to delinquents asking them to
pay up their pledges as soon as pos
ssible.

but it will cost around $4,000 to
equip it as it should be. 1t is pro-
bable that campaign will be put on
to secure subscriptions for that
amount.

Mothe g Lack Ki oxledge OF Care
OF Babies Claim OF State Board
Of Health.

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 29.-Ignor-
ance of prenatal care on the part Of
Michigan mothers is said to have
caused the deaths of 2,04O of the
2,569 babies under one month of age
that died during the first 10 months
of the present year, according to a
statement issued today by the
Michigan department of health.
To combat what is characterized
as needless waste of life, a state
wide program of child welfare edu-
cation has been instituted by Miss
Harriet Leck, state director of the
bureau of child hygiene and public
health nursing, in cooperation with
county visiting and public health
nurses.
Parent-teachers' associations, wo-
mems clubs, and other interested
agencies are being addressed by Miss
Leck and her assistant, Miss Hope
Romani, and are organizing for the
purpose of cutting down Michigan's
infant death rate With 23 counties
already visited and pledged to the
program of the bureau, it is expected
that the entire state will be drafted
into the "Save the Babies" campaign
by early spring.
Twenty-Five per cent of all infant
deaths up to November 1, or 1892,
are attributed by Miss Leck to arti-
fetal feeding. Fully one-half of all
mothers in the state, through the
/ practice of bottle-feeding their ba-
bies, reduce the chances of their
babies living from in 10 to l in 10,
she says, pneumonia, digestive
troubles, bronchitis, and all other
ailments being much more fatal to
artifcially fed babies than to those
that are nursed.
Though Michigan, with a rate of
80 infant deaths each 900 births,
ranks sixth of all states in the regis
tration area of the United States, the
number of deaths can be apprecably
lowered, officials of the department
of health assert.

CHRISTMAS ONCE IS

rhe silent skies are full of speech
For who hath ears to hear;
The winds are whispering each to each;
The moon Is calling to the beach;
And stars their sacred wisdom teach
or Faith and Love and Fear.
But once the sky its silence broke.
And song o'erfiowed the earth;
The midnight air with glory shook;
And angels mortal language spoke,
When God our human nature took
In Christ the Savor's birth.
And Christmas once is Christmas still;
The gates through which he came.
And forest wild, and murmuring riii'
And fruitful field, and breezy hill,
And all that else the wide world hll'
Are vocal with his name.
Shall we not listen while they sing
This latest Christmas morn,
And music hear in everything,
And faithful lives In tribute bring
To the great song which greets the KING
Who comes when Christ is bornf
