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!

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.
