Neuffer talked to the large i crowd of ladies present about the 5 "Physical Welfare of the Child." f Both these talks were instructive and entertaining and the many questions i asked by the ladies created a feeling c of comradeship among all present. a Friday afternoon the meeting was t devoted to the discussion of the r "Moral Welfare of the Child," and ; papers were read by Mrs. W. 0.

On account of the wind there were only seventy babies in the parade. There ( were many health banners on the different carriages and the little girls carried banners of purple and gold t bearing inscriptions on health while the boys carried placards around their necks. After the parade the i little fellows were taken into the picture show where all who were in the parade were admitted free. This parade was in charge of Mrs. C. C. . Gambrell and was well carried out. 1 On Sunday all the ministers in c town preached sermons on the "Spiritual Welfare of the Child."
