| wish come true.
 At these conferences mothers bring their children under school age to be examined by the doctor and booked on the health roll for 12 monthly visits. If the New Year has ushered in a new baby, mothers | look forward to that time when about the sixth month they can bring their youngest one to receive this valuable health inventory. No 1 matter how stormy the weather. no matter how great the distance, mothers have learned that unless colds and other illnesses prevent, 1t is & wise plan to bring their chill dren to these conferences and learn | the rules of health which are to be practiced in the home. In no other way can children be kept strong and healthy.
 Starting with each new year, mothers again resolve that one day in each month cannot be better spent for the health protection of their children. Starting with each new baby. and providing each pre- school child with the essentials for health, the foundation is laid for a healthy career for each child. 1 Mothers may not fully appreciate l the value of this in this early period, but as children grow up into school age and then advance into adult life, they realize that the strong health foundation laid earlier has been the means of sending out into the world l healthy men and women.
 The January monthly Well Child | Conference, will be held on Friday afternoon, January 14. in the T. A. E. hall. from 2 to 4 o'clock.
