task irksome more than once. But
to own and take home the garment,
the girl had to complete it herself,
and when after many weary weeks the
last stitch was in it was proud little
girl that carried home the first one to
be finished.
BY every constructive means that is
feasible, these splendid Salvation
Army workers, strive to hold the inter.
est of the girls whom they get en-.
rolled as Guards. The indoor activities
and the outdoor sports are designed to
keep them from bad associates and out
of unwholesome places. They provide
at infinite pains opportunities for ath-
letics and vocational instruction and
culture such as is not possible to them
through their families
While 1t is big undertaking to fill
in the time to gather together a band
of twenty-five or thirty unframed, un-
disciplined girls of various rationale
ties and organize them into a working
team for athletic music and religion,
it is mighty stride toward guarantee
ing the quality Of our future citizens
for today's girls are tomorrow's moth.

on untiringly seeking no visible reward
they rest on their belief that some
day. some where. some how, these
early teachings of cleanliness, and the
principles expressed by their motto
will bear results.

The Girl Guards are but little known
Niih the above motto for their guild
ing principle, their activities are all
designed to intrigue their interest and
TO cultivate in them standards of right
thinking and clean living that will
make them, not only good citizens, but
influential factors in their home and
school life.
Baltimore has one band of Cir
Guards organized by Captain Prende
VILE of the South Anne Street Nurs
cry of the Salvation Army.
Captain Prendeville devoted much
time and energy to this group of girls
which she has gotten together in heI
community. They range in ages from
10 to 81, and are persuaded to come
ogether through the attractive fea
ture of this organization which is pat
erned after the Girl Scouts.
All kinds of sewing and mending
and also simple embroidery is taught
as part of the indoor, work. Drills
marches, delightful hikes and camp
ing privileges in the summer make the
outdoor work allurins.
Captain Prendeville also gives much
attention to musical development. Not
only are the girls encouraged to sing
but also to do orchestral work. Instru-
ments and musician are provided free
and the regular practice encouraged
1t is surprising. the amount of progress
these girls make with their instru.
ments and how short a time is re-
Qulred for them to be able to play well
enough to join in the marches with

Captain Prendeyille has fostered in
every possible way the domestic traits
of the girls.
She procured from her meager re-
sources. material for bungalow aprons,
cut and fitted them for each girl and
then instructed and assisted them in
the making OF them.

THE HEALTH CENTER

YOUR BABY.
A series of articles presented to
the readers of this paper by the

vice. the Maryland State Board of
Health and the County Health
Officer.
motherhood.
Each year one thousand babies
die in the United States in the first
month Of life. most of them because
OF conditions affecting the mother
before baby was born. BY giving
proper care and attention to moth
ers before baby is born. thousands
OF baby lives can be saved.
Thousands of Mothers Lose Their
Lives Needlessly.
But mothers should have better
care for another reason. In this
country at least $4,000 mothers die
in childbirth each year; Nhat is one
mother in every $50 cases of child
birth. Over half of them lose their
lives from preventable conditions.
What can we do to stop this awful
sacrifice?
Safeguarding The Health OF
Expectant Mothers.
Every mother should place her
self early under the care of good
-, al.
stetrical clinic. If the expected
baby is her first, the physical exami-
nation which the doctor makes
should include measurements of the
pelvis. An examination of the
blood by means of the Wasserman
test shows that about / mother in
every 10 should undergo thorough
medical treatment in order to in
sure a healthy baby. Repeated ex-
aminations of the urine are essen,
tial for the detection of conditions
whose early treatment may save
the mothers life.
Before the baby is born the
mother should safeguard her health
in every way. She should be as far
as possible relieved of worry, have
plenty of fresh air, good, wholesome
food, and sufficient recreation, rest,
and sleep. The bowels should move
once a day. Constipation, which is
often troublesome during the last
months of pregnancy, should pre-
ferably be controlled by regulating
the diet, but If that does not suffice
some simple laxative prescribed by
the doctor should be taken. The
clothing should be loose, though
corsets may be worn during the
earlier months.
During the last months of preg-
nancy, the expectant mother should
see her physician or send him
specimen of her urine every two
weeks. She must drink sufficient
liquid to insure the passage of at
least three pints of urine every "a
hours. Persistent or sudden and
severe headaches, swelling of the
face or hands, or increasing swell
ing of the ankles must be reported
at once to the physician in charge.
The appearance of a bloody dis
charge also demands instant sum
moning of the physician.
A number of patent medicines
have been widely advertised to
make childbirth safe. easy and pain
less. They are frauds. Instead of
wasting money on them, expectant
mothers should seek a doctors adj
vice.
Questions relating to Baby Care
and to problems of maternal and
child health will be answered direct
by mail. Address, Baby Health

occasion.
After a day or two, the governor,
who was well known TO many promi-

people in Gen. Lyon, that he might

Lyon:

"Being a graduate Of West Point,

difficulty in securing employment
for him with this company with a COM

near what is now Almyra-in fact,
most Of their family was reared in
that vicinity. Thew moved to Texas
about 1878, where they have since
resided
For the benefit of some of our
older people in the vicinity Of this
county where these fine old people
once resided, we are taking the privi-
lege and pleasure of reproducing the
article in full from the Dallas paper,
though we are not sure of the exact
dates as they appear in the article, as
the clipping bore no date Of the
paper in which it occurred, and we
are sure the closing Of the life of
this interesting woman, who lived to
such a ripe old age, will be read with
interest by those who may recall her
residence in this county.
The article is as follows:
"Mrs. Hardina j. Harper, SO years
old, widow Of the late B. J. Harper,
died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. w. H. Cullum, 2915 Hood street,

by rs descendants.
Mrs Harper came to Texas in
1878 with her husband and she had
lived in Dallas since 1880. She was
born in Davidson county, Tenn, and
married Mr.. Harper in 1850. She is
survived by four children, Mrs. Gull
lum, Mrs. s. B. Bolick, Ben ]. Har-
per and James Harper, all of Dallas,
by q grandchildren. 40 great-grand-
children and by four great-great-
grandchildren.
"At the time of Mrs. Harper's
celebration of her Goth birthday at
the home of her son, Ben ]. Harper,
she was enjoying unusually good
health for one of her age, and when
asked how she maintained such ex-
cellent health she said it was by
keeping her mind and time worthily
employed. She had been a devoted
member Of the Baptist church for
rs years and all through her life she
took an active part in church and
domestic affairs.
Funeral services will be conducted
by the Rev. "A. 7. Douglas, pastor Of
