Keynote Of Progress
In Child Welfare
Credited To tsHer''
Intelligent, Rational Cooperation Praised Science
Medicine Only Partly Responsible for Outstanding
Achievements in Physical Mental Development

BY JOHN e. FARRELL, M. ID.
The tremendous improvement in
child welfare, so unmistakable in
these days, is generally ascrfbed to
scientific advancement and medical
discoveries. In a great measure
this is true, but not entirely. All
kinds Of scientific discoveries and
medical advancements would avail
very little IL their application was
left In the hands OF scientists and
doctors. Were It not for the intel
1igent and ratica1 cooperation of
modern motherhood, child welfare
could never attain the immeasur-
able success that 1t has reached
to-day.
Like the floral exhibits of our
annual spring shows, when the
latest blossoms seem richer and
more beautiful than any ever
show before-so each succeeding
crop OF human fruitage Is more
vigorous and splendid than the
crop before. In the case Of how-
ers maybe our enthusiasm for the
beautiful outstrips the actual i'm
provement in the flower and the
enhancement Is not so much in
the essential improvement Of the
blossoms as It Is in our own height
ened admiration, whether this be
SO in the case Of flowers may be
questionable, but in the case Of the
annual showing of babies and chill
dren there is positively no doubt
that the last crop is always the
best.
Present Motherhood
In the same measure that our
children and babies are the cream
OF humanity's crop, our present
motherhood Is the finest achieve
ment of wonlanhood since evolu-
ton began. Though she may not
have reached perfection, her prog
ress has been nothing short Of
marvellous.
Many OF us can recall the days
when the care and rearing Of chill
dren was handed over to the
grandmother. The new mother felt
incompetent to assume full charge
Of her first baby. Education and
the awakened courage that comes
with knowledge has changed all
this and to-day we seldom see that
faltering and sense OF incompe-
tence, that dreadful apprehension
and insecurity which unknown re-
sponsibility often cngendered in
the old time mother.
Almost as care free as child of
seven mothering her doll. the pres
ent day mother takes delight in
her responsibility and halls with
joy the privilege of proclaiming to
the world: To us a child is given
an heir Is born.
It Is logical inference that 81
parent who dared the travail Of
bearing a child should spare no
effort in properly rearing that
child. All the glory, strength and
beauty Of the universe Is the BIRTH
right and inaiienable heritage of

Modern Motherhood Achieves Success
FOOD HABITS FOR
CHILDREN NEEDED
Right Ones Should Be De-
velOped Early, the Soon

Food habits must be developed
early-the sooner the better. For-
tunately, nowadays physicians
advise such. supplementary foods
as raw fruit and vegetable juices
during the first year followed by
fruit and vegetable pu1ps latsr.
With a quart of milk a day such
fruits and vegetables furnish
splendid sources OF minerals and
vitamins which are needed for
growth and health.
It is at this early stage that
mothers often make a mistake.
They believe that ii little is good,
ia large amount is better-and so
they offer too generous portions of
these new foods in the beginning.
II child sees a large mound of
green spinach or orange carrot ON
his plate for the first time he may
be afraid to taste of it because of
the bright color. the amount, and
the fact that he had no pieasur

Far better would 1t be to present
such a small portion Of this new
food. that he fails to see in it h

to eat and his curiosity is aroused
to the point of taking it. When

that he likes it on his own account.

It is during the preschool age
when the child is closely associated

Swift Company
Celebrates Its
5Oth Birthday

Meat dealers, live stock produc-
ers and others acquainted with the
growth Ct meat packing, Americas
largest industry, are recalling and
retelling this week the romantic
story OF the development Of Swift
a. Company.
The occasion for Renaissance Is
the nationwide celebration Of the
50th anniversary Of Swift & Com
pany's interpretations celebration
featured locally by meetings Of re-
tail meat dealers and special sales
Of the company's many food prod
ucts.
Gustavus Franklin Swift. founder.
started in business Tor himself with
a total capital Of $40 when he was
10 years old. That was in 1885. He
paid Sl9 for a neighbours heifer,
dressed ID himself and sold the meat
in his little home town on Cape Cod.
Just 20 years later, in 1875, c.. r.
Swift reached Chicago a successful
retailer. exporter and cattle buyer.
Still young. ambitious and a bitter
foe Of waste, he saw nothing but
waste in the operations Of the meat
and live stock industry OF that day.
He had faith in refrigeration as the
solution CT the vexing problem Of
EridgIng the average gap OF nearly
a thousand miles between live stock
producing centers Of the west and the
populous consuming centers OF the
east.
His experiments with ~refrigera-
tor cars we're successful almost i'm
mediately and within five years Of
lis arrival at Chicago he had, almost
single handed, revolutionized the en-
tire meat and live stock industries
ri the nation. He opened the east
as a market for western beef and
shipped dressed beef from Chicago
IN place of the live animals, Of which
about 40 per cent were waste.
His leadership was strong not only
IN making available to the nation
fresh and better meat at lower prices.
but also in the development Of use:
for animal by-products, which was
one of the factors in increasing the
return to live stock producers for
their animals.
The meat industry ranks today as
the INST efficient distributing
agency in America, according TO the
National Distribution conference.
Veterans OF tn industry attribute
this standing in large measure TO the
vision and hard work OF such pio-
reers as Gustavus +. Swift and his
s. ccesscr in the packing industry.

CCC Will Take
40 Boys From
Cameron County

Advance information received by
the Cameron County Relief board
reveals that the probable quota for
the first enrolment Of CCC camp
ycLths for the county will be 40.
Relief officials pointed out that
while formerly 1t had been possible
in some cases TO take applications
from families not actually on the
relief rolls. new definite oruers
have changed that condition. The
new order provides that parents "
all applicants now must already be
on the relief rolls. II was also
stressed that the applicants must
rate near the top physically before
their applications will stand the
barest chance Of acceptance.
Present plans call for the quota
to be made up and leave Browns
vile about June 20. Enrolment
now is to fill existing vacancies,
and II Is probable that the Cam
eron county group will be split up
in delegations 10 various camps
throughout the country. Through
out the nation work Is being rush
ed on new camps in order that Suf-
ficient facilities may be available
TO meet a greater demand.
