THE BETTER BABIES CAM-
PAIGN.
The ‘Better Babies’’ show has
at last reached New York, and
awakened the greatest interest. This
is not confined to the East Side
Mothers whose babies were contest-
ants for the prizes awarded, nor to
physicians and speicalists who most
fully realized the educational im-
portance of such shows. The gen-
eral public eagerly pursued the news
of the new form of baby contest,
where all are measured up to the
same scientific standard and mere
prettiness scores few points. Pictures
of the winning babies and their
mothers, were printed, and inter-
views reporting the methods used
presented prominently in all the lead-
ing papers.
What is now known as the ‘‘Bet-
ter Babies’”” movement began in ag-
ricultural regions, as a feature of
state and county fairs, and was in-
augurated to induce farmers to see
that their children were reared at
least as scientifically as their live
stock. Well known physicians were
the judges, and the scores employed
for marking points were similar to
those used for passing on prize
horses, cattle and dogs.
When a farmer’s baby scored low-
er than his live stock his pride rose
in arms, and the child was placed
under the care of a baby specialist,
and brought up to standard. Gran-
ges discussed child life, and better!
babics began to count at items in
the farmer’s standing.
Physicians and agencies that deal
with children in the cities at once
saw the value of this movement
for the education of city parents,
and it is being used wich telling ef-
fect in many centers of population.
Municipal authorities, pure milk
committees, child ‘welfare associa-
tions and woman’s cluba all co-ope-
rating in holding better baby econ-
tests where all classes and con-
ditions are judged by the same
standard.
THE DENVER SHOW,
Early in January of this year a
Better Baby show was held in Den-
ver under the auspices of the Na-
tional Western Live Stock Associ-
ation. Three hundred babies were
entered representing many walks
of life, and many different nations
in the ancestry. The show lasted
five days, and five thousand per-
sons turned out to do homage to the
winners, when Col. Cody (‘‘Buffalo
Bill)?’ rode round the open arena
of Denyer’s famous stock yards with
the two prize winners perched on the
saddle in front of him.
Beneath all the €eremonies ran a
mighty undercnrrent of parental
pride and anxiety. The wife of the
White Wing was just as anxious to
secure a practical education in
motherhood as the wife of the law-
yer, civil engineer or shopkeeper.
“Better Babies’’ had become a slo-
gan alike on farm, ranch and in
city dwellings, though the more ir-
telligent mothers entered their child-
ren for the purpose of securing a
score card and profiting by the ad-
vice of experts rather than for
honors and prizes.
IN NEW YORK.
Realizing the value of the wide
interest excited by the New York
Better Babies Show, a prominent
department store arranged a recep-
tion for the wanning babies and
their mothers where all who were
interested were welcome and throngs
of people took advantage of the
opportunity to see what experts
ful and scientific handling make it fit
for the child’s use, all the various
agencies in the cities co-operate to
reduce that appalling slaughter of
the innocen‘s which results from
every hot wave. Mothers in all cir-
cumstances are apprehensive at this
season of the year.
Cows milk, while the nearest thing
to the natural food, needs to be
properly modified, pure, perfectly
fresh, and to be obtained only from
inspected healthy cows. Condensed
milk of the best grade is favored by
leading specialists, as a safe baby
food that has many points in its
favor. No preservatives are em-
ployed for the best brands of this
product, and only the purest high
grade milk goes into the condenser,
as any taint would result in ruining
the whole product. The natural fluid
is heated in a vacuum, which makes
it perfectly sterile. and carries off
the extra water, leaving the thick,
creamy residuum, which sealed in
air tight cans, remains sweet and
wholesome under all climatic con-
ditions, fit to nourish the most del-
icate digestion either at the tropics
or the poles.
COMMISSARY SUPPLIES.
Eagle brand Condensed Milk which
went with Peary to the North Pole,
is specified for governmental use, in
camps, hospitals and army posts as
well as for forestry stores, and forms
an important part of the commis-
sary outfit of travellers and explor-
ers all over the world.
Properly diluted this makes a safe,
inexpensive and nutritious baby
food, obtainable everywhere. Tle
formula for dilution can be had on
request from the manufacturers or
obtained from any trained nurse or
recognized standard on infant feed-
ing.
One of the most vital things for a
baby’s welfare is the avoidance of
sudden changes of temperature, diet
or surroui lings. When it is neces-
sary to trav:l the haby’s food should
be unchunc ed either in kind or qual-
ity, anc tae little body carefully
protected. rom excess of heat or
undue excitement. If these precau-
tions arc observed even a long jour-
ney can be safely undertaken.

ITCHING IRRITATION.
WORST FORM OF SKIN TROUBLE QUICK-
LY RELIEVED BY INEXPENSIVE
TREATMENT.
When you suffer with any skin trou-
ble, even though the itching seems
unbearable, do not think that it is
necessary to use some disgusting,
greasy ointment. Try Hokara, a pure
and simple cream, that is guaranteed
to contain no grease or acids and
which is so cleanly that it does not
soil the linen.
Its power to instantly relieye any
irritation of the skin and make it
soft, white and beautiful is almost
miraculous.
Not only do minor skin trouble like
pimples, blackheads, acne, barber’s
itch, ete., quickly disappear,
but the worst ulcers of cases of
salt rheum or eczema are clean-
sed and healed by this wonderful
skin food.

pronounced a perfect baby.
One of the. most encouraging feat-
ares of this movement for better
babies is that children counted out
as unfit for entrance at one contest
frequently qualify as winners later
on when intelligent careland feeding
have developed the lacking points.
The need for a standard score card,
uniform . everywhere, has at last been
supplied by the co-operation of lea
ing specialists.
ESSENTIALS.
air and food that properly nourishes
the little growing bodies, are the
primary essentials for babies as they
are for other young animals, coupled
with constant intelligent care.
That many luxuries are unnecessary,
or even harmful, and that nothing
takes the place of motherly, human
coddlings, is proved by the fact that
the majority of the prize winners
come from plain homes. Institu-
tions filled with eyery scientific ap-
pliance, and run by trained experts,
haye shown such an appalling mor-
tality, that other means of caring
for their charges has been found
necessary. Placed in the care of
poor mothers, under a certain
amount of supervision from the
nurses of the babies thrive. Italians
proving especially successful in rais-
ing the ‘‘bambinos’’ entrusted to
their care.
As summer adyances, and the
milk in some form must be given
to the youngsters, is so easily con-
taminated that only the most care-
Out mn a certain section of the far
west, where the rainfall is very scant
during the growing season and some
form of irrigation absolutely neces-
sary, a farmer uses an electric motor
|to raise the water from a nearby
creek to the surface of his farm. The
motor is one that was purchased to
4. | operate an ensilage cutter, a barley
crusher and to do other work about
the farm.
This farm motor is mounted on a
Gleanliness of surroundings, fresh |heavy truck so it can be readily
hauled from place to place about the
farm where its services are needed.
| Connections are made, at suitable
points, with an overhead transmis-
sion line by a long, flexible cable.
Electricity is secured from a nearby
central distribution station which
makes a practice of supplying electric
current to farmers in that section.
When it is desirable to irrigate the
fields the motor-wagon is backed up
to the bank of the stream and belted
to a six-inch centrifugal pump which
raises the water from the stream level
to the irrigation canals.
