PREVENTION, MOTTO
OF infant SOCIETY
Nine Centers Caring for Chill
dren-AppeaIs for Rum
maze Sale Aid.

To keep the babies of Washington
well is the purpose of the Child We'll
fare Society. whose fourth annual
rummage sale will open next Satur-
day at 1411 H street northwest.
The society works on the theory
that prevention is more desirable than
correction. To keep thousand babies
in good health. they believe. is of more
value than curing a dozen that have
been allowed to become sick.
The babies registered at the nine
centers supported by the society are
carefully watched and their diet is
regulated to insure their proper de-
yelopment or the many cases
brought to the attention of those in
charge of the centers one of the most
Interesting is that of Emma" and
her baby. When the youngster was
first brought to the society it was
seven months old. and weighed only
scour pounds. A few months later the
baby had gained fifteen pounds and
is still gaining.
Emma" was taught how to prepare
the child's food. how to battle it prop
erly. that it must be given plenty of
fresh air. A nurse from the center
to which Emma" had brought the
child visited the mother in her home
regularly and to see that the ,phv-
sician's directions were carefully fol-
lowed. The baby is still under the
watchful eye Of the society and prob
ahlv will continue SO until its future
health is insured.
The annual rummage sale conduct
ed by the society is one Of the meth
eds by which money Is collected for
the support Of the centers. Donations
OF every description are solicited and
sold.
This week the private garage in
the rear Of 1921 Connecticut avenue
has been converted into a storehouse
for whatever articles are sent. In
case 1t is impossible to send
donations. ARRANGEMENTS have been
made by which they will be called for.
Persons wishing to have such dona-
tions called for are asked to phone
