('1IL)EiS WELFARE. Valuable Conference Held at Gray Court Wednesday and Thursday of Last Week. (ray Court, Aug. 2.--A children's health conference, planned and ar ranged for -by the efficient county trained nurse, Miss Minnie Rogers, was held at the Gray Court-Owings school building on July 27 and 28th, from 9 to o'clock both days. ' Other nurses giving their services to the conference were Miss Murphy, district superNsor; Miss iFannie Boulware, of Laurens, and Mrs. W. T. Pace, of Gray Court. The physicians of the town, espec ially Drs. Rogers and Pace (Dr. Bea son being kept away on account of business), stood by so loyally, gave their services so freely, and their time so willingly. A free examination was offered ev ery child in the territory from the age of three months to six years, and 108 children were, examined. Two records were made of the results of every examination, one put on file in Mliss Rogers' office, and one given t, the parents of the child. During both days, at least 300 came to the con ference, others as onlookers or as partici)ants. Dr. Cornell, baby specialist of Co Sumbia, was present and not onDy hel:,ed with the examination but gave most helpful talks both days on the care of children from Infancy through the second year. Dr. Carpenter, of Greenville, was to have been present on Tuesday after noon to make an address on "T' Rights of Children," but a mistake in the date caused the conference to miss this treat. 'Helpful pastors were in evidence everywhore, and plenty of good liter ature on child welfare was on hand for general distribution. The pretty .white baby bed, made of an ordinary laundry basket, invited to peaceful slumbers, and the special e ice-box, "just for baby's milk," made of a lard tub and a large tin bucket, showed what can be done at little cost. Other exhibits there were, too, of interest to the mothers and house keepers. Miss Daisy Harris had for inspection and exaniination a can ning outfit, and some speelmen cans of fruit, that even to look at made d one's "mouth water." Special thanks for the splendid suc cess of the conference are due the irses, the home 'physicians, Dr. Cornell, Mrs. R. L. Gray, publicity chairman, and the zealous members of aher committees. aWe feel that owing to the great interest manifested, much good has already been done, and that this is but an earnest of the untold benefits to the future citizens of our towns and communities.
