THE KING CALLS FOR MR.. FROG.

- LlR M.L
Tinker Bob and silky, the monkey,
were having q fne time getting ready
to entertain Mr.. Frog and his Orches-
ira You remember Mr.. Frog? He's
the fellow that always tells you to go
around the pond and never try to
walk across. Well, he was under the
ice all Winter, and when he came out
it took him some time to get his or
chestra together. : Then there was
trouble again; for some OF the little
fellows who had never played before
wanted to get in. Mr.. Frog had his
hands full trying to keep these
smaller folks quiet. They wanted to
try out their voices all the time.
Now Tinker Bob was making his
palace ready--to entertain the Frog
Orchestra. It was his desire to help
Mr.. Frog get his orchestra adjusted
so that no n would be out of sorts
about it. You see there were old
mother Frogs who wanted their chill
dren in the orchestra They wanted
them In whether they could sing or
not. It didn't matter to them about
the making Of good music-what they
wlntc'. was to have Little Frogy In
the big orchestra. But % see Mr..
Daddy Frog was anxious to have real
music and he knew there were some
Of these little folks who could not
sing.

Child Welfare
Week Will Be
Recognized Here

At a general meeting. of delegates
from the several woman's organixa-
lions Of Grand Forks which was held
the latter part of last week, tentative
plans were formulated for the active
May Z to Is, in this city az part of
q cooperative effort to raise the stan
dard of conditions for children In the
state Of North Dakota.
The first movement of this kind
twassinaugnratedl In Chicago in 1914,
when that city set aside one week
for the instruction OF mothers in the
care Of babies. This was known al
"Baby Week" and was followed by
York City, Pittsburg, Indianapolis,
Topeka, Grand Rapids. and others Of
the large cities of the country. In
cluded among the events for these
days devoted to babies, were &c.
lures, exhibits, baby health confer
ences and contests, school programs,
parades. plays, the distribution of
pamphlets, leaflets, mi other printed
matter Of the care of the baby, news
were employed in concentrating the
attention Of mothers, particularly. on
the needs Of the baby.
National Baby Week.
In the fall Of 1915 the General Fed
GRAFTON Of Women's Clubs and the
Ehildren's Bureau ANNOUNCED their
nationwide baby week to be held In
the spring Of 1916. The plan was
publicly endorsed by the president and
the secretary Of labor, and many GOV
ernors and mayors issued procla1na-
tiOns on the subject. Az a result OF
an intensive campaign, the idea not
only. reached more than 1000. 600
women identified with the general
declarations of women's clubs, but re-
ceived wide publicity throughout the
country. Following the extensive
work Of the various national govern
ment departments Inc sub-depart-
ments, 1t raj learned that 2,10O com
smunities throughout the United
States recognized and celebrated in
hitting fashion, a baby week. This
Ii the number reported to headquar-
tiers, but it is the opinion Of those
who had charge Of the campaign.
that reports came from not nearly all
of the communities which observed
the week.
Baby Week In City.
In 1915, when.the remainder of the
nation was engaged in this deserving
work, Grand Forks women too were
putting forth a great deal of energy
to make the week a successful one in
this community. The work was done
under the capable supervision of the
late Mrs. F. l. Mcvey, who was then
president Of the Civic League here.
In the national bulletin published
after the completion Of. the first baby
week, Grand Forks received very
favorable comment and among other
things, the slogan which was adopt
ed here, Grand Babies for Grand
Forks" was named as the most apt
n recorded. The slogan was the
idea Of Miss Phyllis Perrott, who was
at hat time a pupil in the public
SCHOOLS here. and now of Washington

II You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgottenl The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine
"a medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy Is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need Of It..
A prominent druggist says, 'Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has 50 large a

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
