quoted from thu' phamplot:
"She watches over tho expectant

devotion.
"81io Is (ho guardian of nil babies,
Ignorance of proper treatment Is the
biggest factor In tho high baby death
rate, and by Informing the mothers of
tho lajtcst scientific principles of child
care, many little lives are spared.
'Saving a hnby costs tho public no
llttlo; losing & baby costs the mother
so much.'
"She Is tho defender of nil children

Hud such Inspection taken plncn
twenty years ago, one-third of our
young men would not have been ro
Jected for military service on account
of physical defects, many of which
could havo been prevented In child
hood. Who among you can answer
either to him, or to your God, If you
let your child grow up with a handi
cap which might have boon removed?
"She organizes the boys and girls
of her neighborhood Into health and

ledge of the laws of health, and good
hygienic habits. They learn to value
and nratect that blrthrlaht of every

"She searche out the young man
