The Federation, which includes a hundred women's clubs in nil pnrts of the state, asks anyone who knows of a little victim of nn accident, of spinal meningitis, of infantile paralysis, of tuberculosis in the bones or joints, or any other crippling cnuse, to write the details of the case to Mrs. Millie R.
