JOHN BULL PAYS FOR HEALTHY BABIES.

John Bull believes that healthy babies make
strong men, is willing for them. according
TO reports recently received by the Cnidrens Bureau
of the u S. Department Labor. In 1918 made
by national government in support of infant vel
fare work in England and Wales amounted TO about
s1I5o 900, which of approved expen
diture welfare health visitors, maternity
care and similar work for mothers and Children
The number of health centers increased from $50
in 1917. $50 june 1919. one-half of them
supported entirely public funds. Attendance at the
centers has also shown phenomenal increase. One
in Gloucester, which in 1918 received 263 ex
pectant mothers had $50 its rolls in 1919.
AS a result it is thought of public protection of
maternity and infancy. the infant mortality for
England and Wales for 191S is "a. There in

EVIDENCE OF BEATING HIGH COST.

While look alone to the thrifty 1mnl-
grant" for evidence that the high of living
beaten native also breaking their records
IN bank savings Liberty bonds nevertheless the
amount of money that immigrant workingmen have to
send of the country to invest here must cause
thought. OF course, large of the money mention
with the immigrants is TO be cred
permanent saving much of it represents regular
supplies sent by workers from here keep their e
pendents abroad Perhaps the end Of the some
who be thought be getting ahead may be shown
only have made both ends meet.
However. when read in article in the New
York journal Commerce" that foreigners returning
home from the United States taking with them
proximatey two billions dollars, the conclusion
that vast part represents permanent savings
cannot be escaped forth that 100000 emil
grants departed the signing of the armisce
and United States department of labor estimates
that /. 20 600 preparing TO With their
average savings placed 600 the grand total we'll
two billions.
But never overlook the great number Of native
Americans who have been getting ahead at the same
time
Besides 1t remains that would not want to see
Americans saving of the immigrants by living
more as beasts than human beings while having
plenty of money to live decentIy
Then there is the grave question of Americanization
considered this connection An end should be
put to- the brand immigration that looks upon this
country merely as one money-making purposes At
