A VERY cJever de-mfnatration of the
X-work of tne :nna mwm vb"-
ton of New York wa triven by aMlM
Rnymond from Virgin, at one of the
eiwitonii of the Joint convention of the)
American Nnre' association, tns
Iaffue of KUr8lnB'Educatton( and the
KaUonal Organization for Public Health
NurclnK recently held In Atlanta, i ac
cording? to Mlns Marion G. Crowe, super
intendent of tBe Vlsltins Nurse associa
tion, who recently returned from this
i-onference.
Speaking of the demonstration. Miss
Crowe said: "Miss Raymond appeared
before a rroup of Tirst and second jfrftde
school children; dressed" as the beautiful
Fairy of Health. A fairy house built of
" j9locks representing good food such as
' potatoes. ' oameaU carrots,, etc., has been
built by children who eat these-foods
nd the Fairy lives In It If the chil
dren do not eat these things the old
witch Ignorance comes ana aesiroys in
houe. In connection willt . this - work
r-r.-r'Vin " clown, la enroloved to tell
the children health stories. It is a
splendid work which appeals to every
child' and It Is the hope that a visit to
Portland children may be made possible
whei the Fairy and Clown are In Salt
Lake this summer."
The shockingly high -death rate of
mothers during child birth was brought
out strongly at the convention. Special
stress was emphasized regarding work
-with children, prenatal and maternity.
The United States rates fourteenth in
the. death Tate of mothers during child
birth, and as the - maternity center In
.JCew Tork- established one year ago had
statistics showing that the death rate
1 which had previously been one death In
250 for- mothers, reduced to one death
. In 502, and one. death in 36 babies . as
reduced to one death In 98, the need of
such work was emphasized.
Sixteen million children in the United
Btates are underweight and 6,000.000 are
undernourished, not always as the re
sult of poverty but as thej result of
Ignorance. A demonstration of Dr.
s Kmerson'a Nutrition clinic was made by
' Mrs, Woods of Chicago, who has charge
or ino worn wnn irie cuzuuem mtiur

who scored 100 per cent in a recent eugenics test at the age
of 27 months. Jack is not only physically and mentally per

When lighter passions long hare passed.
So holy 'tis and true;

And Stanley said? "We crare the name.
Proud Knight, of this most peerless dame
Wboee lor you count so high."
So Ieon paused, as if he would
Mot breathe her name in careless mood
Thus-lightly to another:
Then bent his noble head as though
To gire that word tha reference due.
And gently said: "My mother."

ing the important provisions of the bill,
says: .:
"The state 'department of health is
hereby empowered to furnish, in addition
to advice and instruction, nursing and
pre-natal care to pregnant women at
home, at some hospital or local clinic
at the , option of the expectant mother,
also nursing or hospital care at the time
of confinement if In the judgment of the
department the safety of the mother or
child demands such care."
That the Joint committee decided to
give maternity benefits an experimental
trial rather than go forward with the
entire. program of maternity benefits is
indicated by a provision which requires
the state department of health to report
to the next legislature "such recom
mendations for further extension of ma
ternity care during the natal and post
natal periods and for such other as
sistance to expectant mothers ' as they
may deem advisable.
An appropriation of $200,000 Is pro
vided. . The bill would go into , effect
December 1. .
Expectant mothers who desired : the
state advice and care would make ap
plication directly to the state department
of . health or through local boards of
health. The applicants would agree to
accept and carry out the instructions of
the' state department of health. ;
Section 4 of the bill says :
"Maternity cases UNder this act shall
not be given to a city or town physician
In his or her official 'capacity. - The re
cipient of maternity care under this act,
if remaining at home, shall be allowed
In all cases to choose her own physician,
subject to said physician's acceptance
of, the fee schedule for such cases and
other rules-nd regulations of the state
department of health governing this
act." . '.
Infant Welfare
Is profoundly
, Important
STATISTICS on the years from 110
to 191C show that-the number of in
fant deaths during the first month ' of
life has increased, . while the deaths
among older babies have decreased. The
prenatal and natal periods . have been
neglected.
' England' has long recognized that the
provision of prenatal care is fundamen
tal to really intelligent child welfare
work ; and her scheme published in 1914
included prenatal and obstetrical care,
hospital and ly.lng-in . accommodations,
and systematic instruction of women In
the hygiene .of pregnancy. Especially
in rural areas Was the need felt for
more and j better accommodations ; for
child-bearing . women. ; Government
grants were made to .relieve the situ
ation, to maintain more small hospitals,
and to provide' physicians. Assistance
was also given, by furnishing domestic
help and by providing for the care of
the elder children during the mother's
absence. Prematernity and convalescent
homes wer also established in some
places. In J918 the maternity and child
welfare act j establishing many measures
for the' protection of child-bearing
wqmen wasj passed.
; Such legislation is advantageous in
that it brings government assistance to
large rural! areas where isolation and
modest - tax j returns make it impossible
for local authorities to provide public
health nurses, adequate hospital 'accom
modation, - consultation welfare centers,
or other needed facilities. It can bring
to these areas stimulus and aid for
infant welfare work similar, to that
which . we ihave given our own country
districts for scientific farming, . home
economics, j -the health of domestic ani
mals, and good roads '
- Work for. Infant welfare is coming to
be regarded as more than a philanthropy
or an expression of good will. It Is a
profoundly . important public concern
which . tests : the public spirit and the
democracy- i of a community. There is,
perhaps; no better sign of the modern
ness of a city's administration than the
proportion i of its income which is as
signed to the protection of infancy and
childhood.'! " ;-". - -. ' ' ,

Fine Advice Is
Contained
in Creed
THE following health creed contains
so much splendid advice in brief,
terse form, that it ought to toe known
to every child:
I believe my body and good health are
sacred. If I am sick It will very prob
ably ' be because I have - violated some
on or more of nature's laws of health.
I will study nature's laws of health
and will obey them for my own sake.
I will not stick my fingers or pick my
rose or wipe my nose on my hand or
sleeve, for these practices are ; unsani
tary and Very impolite. f - . -
I will not wet my fingers in my mouth
when turning the leaves of books. f
I will not put pencils In my ' mouth
or wet them with my. lips.
I will not put pins or money in my
mouth. .
I wHl only use my mouth t for eating
good plain food, drinking pure water and
milk and for saying good and kind
words. '
I will always chew my food thoroughly
and never drink whiskey ;or wine. -
X will strive! against the habit of
'clearing my throat" because it is nearly
always unnecessary 4 and may ,;be .dis
agreeable to others. f
vl: will not cough or sneeze i without'
turning my face and holding a piece of
paper or handkerchief before my mouth.
Polite people never cough In public if
they can prevent it. - :
I will keep my face, hands and finger
nails as clean as possible.
I Will not spit on the floor, stairways
or sidewalks, and will try not to spit
at all : ladies and gentlemen do not spit.
I W-Ill wash my mouth, every morning
on getting .up. and at night on going to
bed, and will use a toothbrush if I can
get one. . . , . .
I will be clean in body, dean in mind
and avoid all habits that may give of
fense to "others. . i .
I will get all the fresh -air I can and
will open wide ' my', bedroom windows
when X go to bed. .! 1 -
