If an epidemic breaks out among the hogs in
this great country watch the statesmen hustle to
vote appropriations for checking it.
Have you ever looked over the amounts of
money voted by Congress for the improvement of
rivers and harbors in response to the demands of
local interests!
Not much is being said these days about battle
ships, but millions are still being poured out for
building and repairing war vessels.
Is there any farm animal as precious as the
180,000 babies who die each year and the 16,000
mothers who die in childbirth annually!
Is there any sborefront, harbor or channel so
essential that it must be reclaimed at the cost of
these lives, or any business that is paramount to
them!
Is there any war as close to us as the war on the
ignorance, negligence and cruel environment that
needlessly crush out the spark o f »life in babies
new born and the patient woman who bear them!
To our shame it is recorded that Congress has
so far failed to renew the appropriation for the

did not believe the man’s
wish should ha fulfilled, at
public expense.
Tbs body was cremated ate
the eoqnty cemetery. The
600,000 babies were examined; 75,000 mothers given
proper tad vice; 40,000 mid-wives instructed and
nearly 10,000 expectant mothers visited and their
anxious questions answered. Mothers* classes were
organized and attended by more than 160,000.
Classes for little mothers—those big sisters who
carry so nrach of the burden of child-rearing—were
organized in more' than 5,000 places. There were
26,000 child health conferences, 1,700 infant welfare
stations founded.
This work has won the endorsement of doctors
and public health authorities, of women’s organi
zations and parents, and the eternal gratitude of
thousands of mothers. Yet it is only beginning.
There has been only time enough to lay a sound
foundation. The number of infant deaths has de
creased but so orach remains to be done that it
would be criminal foBy to let the effort relax if only
for a Week.
The session of Congress now opening must
pass the bill to extend the appropriation. It must
pass it at once in order that the state legislatures*
many of which* are meeting, may make their appro
priations to match the federal grants. Will women
