from one year old to two years old.
This Baby Welfare Week is creating
the greatest enthusiasm among the
women Of the county who are look
ing forward with real pleasure to the
event. Every one except a few old
bachelors perhaps, loves a baby, and
We know without question that every
baby has right to be as healthy as
present knowledge can make him.
The future Of America, the future Of
Kentucky. the future Of Garrard
County begins in the cradle as the
little babies Of today are to be the
men and women Of tomorrow. The
touch Of a baby's hand brings the
whole world into kinship. A lisp
ing voice, faint and feeble, calls
forth the best that is in human ma
ture and il goes without saying that
the good old county Of Garrard will
be represented at this Baby Confer
ence by the best babies in the world.

doubt The last bulletin Of the State
Board Of Health shows that in Gar
rard County out Of every 1000
babies born S9is per cent die be-
fore they reach the age Of five years; ;
and that Of every 1000 persons in
this county over 65 years Of age.
only 35R per cent die each year.
Think il over and ask yourself IL il

agents when they allege, he attempted
to unload a carload of alcohol here.
He said the alcohol had been shipped
to him to be sold to Chicago druggists

several business men had bought 100
900 gallons Of alcohol from the gov
ernment to be denatured, but the

keepers. Other cities where carload
