every part of the theatre as the pre

Pastor's Trial Begins.
Oroville, Cel., March 7. The Rev.
Madison Slaughter, Baptist pastor of
Chico, was slated for trial here today
on the first of five indictments chai'g
ing him with misconduct with 15 year
old Gertrude Livmson, daughter of a
member of his congregation. Slaught
er insists that he is the victim of
trumped up charges on the part of
liquor interests who here and else
where have sought to "get" him. On
tho other hand the girl claims her char
ges are true, though her parents pub
licly announced that they did not cred
it her story and have stood firmly by
the minister. The girl says the alleg-l
ed misconduct occured on Slaughter's
ranch and that afterward he and his
family threatened trouble for her
if she exposed their alleged relations.
Since the indictments were returned
last month, Slaughter has not been
occupying his pulpit, saying he wish
ed first to have his nume cleared. The
case has aroused keen interest in the
community. Slaughter's flock have
tood by him valiantly, insisting that
the case was baseless in fact. Some
what of an additional sensation was
caused when Slaughter's bondsmen,
for the most part church members,
failed to qualify on his bail, as they
were shown not to be on the tax lists.

vention
1. Intelligent care by the mother.
Every mother has a right to know
: the facts which science has made cer
tain as to ways in which it is pos
sible to protect babies from sickness
and death.
"Give me intelligent motherhood
and good prenatal conditions, and I
have no doubt of the future of this
or any other nation." John Burns.
"In the education of the mother in
the care of herself and her baby we
have the strongest weapon for fight
ing infant mortality." New York
Milk Committee's Report.
2. Prenatal care of the mothers.
The great group of deaths of babies
from causes acting before or at birth
can only be prevented by intelligent
care by the mother of herself before
birth; protection of the mother v
husband from overwork; skillful car
at the time of confinement; health o'
both parents. .
