THURSDAY. APRIL 24. 1913.
In the March Woman's Home
Companion appeared the first
complete report of a great campaign
that is springing up with
astonishing virility?a campaign
for "better babies." A year or
two ago a woman in Iowa, Mrs.
Mary T. Watts, conceived the
idea that in her State the principal
enthusiasm among the
people was for better cattle, better
corn and better hogs. At
the county and State fairs there
were occasional "baby shows,"
but the whole purpose was to
pick out and reward babies for
thair hpAiitv and attractiveness
rather than for their health and
development. In other words
the baby was simply a side-show
for entertainment and not taker
seriously, while in every other
exhibit science ruled, and the
object was to cultivate knowledge
of the best ways to produce better
products. Mrs. Watts saw
that Iowa was neglecting hei
most valuable crop?her crop ol
babies. With the co-operatior
of a physician, Dr. M. V. Clark,
she organized a real baby contest.
The object was to award
prizes to those children whe
made the best physical showing.
Dr. Clark prepared score-cards,
the principal items of whici
were adapted from the cardused
in judging cattle and uni
mals of various kinds. Thesi
cards formed the basis of ;
scientific inquiry calculated t<
reveal the physical and menla
efficiency oi the child examined.
The results of this first cor
test were appalling. The\
showed that Iowa had bettei
corn and cat. le than babies, an<
awakened public sentiment to ;
wide study of all those matter
that concerned the care of chd
dren ? diet, clothes*, baths and
on, One child who had receive
a low marking in the first contest,
won a prize at the second
because the mother carried out
the suggestions as to the child's
diet and care, which she nevei
would have heard of had it not
been for the aroused state of tht
public mind. This year thirty
five States have already arranged
to hold scientific baby
shows in connection with livestock
shows and State fairs.
Women's clubs, newspapers and
physicians are awake, and one
of the most important worldmovements
has begun.
Young man, young woman,
let us whisper in your ear. By
all that is good, by all that is
holy, by this twentieth century
of marvelous discovery and
wonderlul discovery and wonderful
progress, if you don't wish tt
be leit lyino- on your back, see to
y it that your education is not
neglected while you have tiim
to spure. And, if you haven't
the time, take it. "A pound <?t
pluck is worth a ton of luck.'
Do not let your God-given intellect
wither for want of nourishment
when our schools ofTei
such splendid facilities wherewith
to fit yourself for the best,
the broadest and the noblest
things of every day life.
Recent investigations show that
it costs the government $3,200 tc
bury a dead congressman. Soitk
of our exchanges are inclined t
complain of this - xtrav agantout
lay; but it is a fact that there arseveral
that the people would
gladly see buried even at that
f
V
When your home merchant
presents you with his bill do not S
allow the hair on your spine to
rise like porcupine quille, and m
look m though you had been in* j*
: suited. The chances are he
I trusted you for the shirt on your jback
and the groceries to keep
vour familv. Sneak kindlv to ft
him who has accommodated you, j
for you know you like prompt
pay in others. A man whose
temper rises to ninety decrees in
the shade when asked for a just
account, and feels his dignity
has been trampled on is a good
man?not to trust.
There are some things that a
level headed human being should
never do. Among these is to
kindle a fire with kerosene oil,
to walk on a railroad, to attempt
to get on a moving train, to
point a gun or a revolver at
another, to put his name on
another man's note, to keep his
savings in an old stocking under
the bed, to play a game of
chance with a prepossessing
stranger, to run for office when
he has a paying position in private
life, or to call a bigger man
than himself a liar.
There are two ways of wasting
your money. One is to spend it
so fast that it doesn't have any
time to do good, and the othtr
' is to hold on to it so tight that
it never gets a chance.
