Big Interest Shown in
Better Baby Conference
For years organized bodies of train-
ed men have met to discuss the ques-
tions of bettor cattle, better crops,
bettor poultry; legislative bodies
have s|tent money on the conservation
of waterways nnd forests and the
hot torment of conditions surrounding
life In cities, mines and factories, hut
only within the last three years has
there Imh'ii an organized movement
looking to the conservation of the
nation's only source of wealth, ef-
ficiency and existence itself—the
Baby.
Just three years ago Mrs, Mary
Watts of Audubon, Iowa, attended
the Denver stock show. She was
greatly impressed with the evidence
of the care nnd attention given to
good live stock, while nowhere In
that great exhibit of almost perfect
animals, was space devoted to grow-
ing better children. So overwhelmed
wns she with this idea she hurried
from the fair grounds saying to a
friend. “I fool as if I went in a coo-
ler of a whirlwind that bids fair to
take me off my feet.”
* Mrs. Watts took the first train for
the Iowa state house where the legis-
lature was In session. , There her en-
thusiastic nnd earnest appeal for the
children of Iowa resulted in a $75,000
appropriation for a new building on
the Iown State Fnir grounds. This
was to be devoted entirely to the
cause of Better Babies.
Jnst. as Iowa awoke to Its duty, so
In close order ninny other states held
similar contests. The movement wns
taken up by the -Woman's Home Com-
panion by furnishing literature, score
cards-and directions for holding cote
f crenel's. V 1
The first conference for Better
Babies held in Texas was by a Sher-
man reared nnd educated girl.
Miss Kittle Barry, after graduating
from Sherman schools, entered the
j world of newspaperdom and It was
| the Star-Telegram of Fort Worth who
sent Mrs. Crawford, (nee Kitlie Bar-
ry) to New York, Washington nnd
other itoints to fit. herself Tor this
work.
After returning to Fort Worth this
first conference was held at Hint
place.
Ow -own State University now has
charge of this movement nnd in the
southern states Texas now takes the
lend In baby conferences.
No sane farmer sows [lerfecf seed
on barren soli, leaves it to grow un-
cultivated and expect a tierfeet crop.
We do not believe that Texas will
permit her best crop, the Texas ba-
bies, to waste their lives among hnr-
ren associations and poor ideals.
Oct. 4. 5, tl, 7. Sherman will hold
a Baby Health Conference in connec-
tion with the R. R. V. Fair.
Miss G. Blodgett nnd an associate
trained state workers, will lie here to
have chnrge of this work. Careful
planR are being arranged for this con-
ference by a committee of Sherman
Indies. The conference will be held
in the rooms of the First Baptist
church on S. Travis St.
The physicians of Grayson county
will conduct the examinations, assist-
ed by nurses from St. Vincent's sani-
tarium ami Sherman Hospital.
Lectures will be given on Child
Welfare and s|*>cial instruction will
be given to mothers on the selentific
care of babies. Among the bulletins
for free distribution will be: Food
for Growing Children, Cleanliness ano
Health, Care nnd Feeding for Young
Children and School Lunches.
Sherman people at® wkte awake to
the value of this movement: anything
asked for In the name of "Better
Babies" is granted lmmbdialqlv. hv
the management of the R. R. V. Fair
and everybody, evreywhere, finds time
to work for "Belter Baltics."
In your passing to and fro speak
to the mother that all babies must
be enrolled before Saturday, the rioth.
MRS. W. H. LUCAS.
Famous Axtao Runner*.
Communication (among the Aztecs)
*u maintained with the remotest
parta of the country by meana of cou-
rier*. Fostbouses were established on
the great roada, about two leaguea dis-
tant from each other. The courier,
bearing his dispatches In the form of
a hieroglyphics I painting, ran with
them to the first station, where they
were taken by -another messenger and
carried forward to lb# next, and so on
till they reached the capital. These
courier*, trained from childhood, trav-
eled with Incredible swiftness;'not four
or five leagues an hour, a* an old
chronicler would tuak* us bettai e, but
with such speed that dispatches were
carried from 100 to 200 miles a day.
Fresh fish was frequently served at
Montezuma'* table In tweuty-four
hours from the time it bad been taken
In the gulf of Mexico, 20u miles from
the capital. In this way Intelligence of
the movements of the royal armies
waa rapidly brought to court, and the
dress of the courier denoting by Its
color that of his tidings, spreading joy
or consternation in the town* tbrqugb
which he passed.—From Prescott’*
"History of the Conquest of Mexico.’*
Picardy Names.
Whence come the names of the Picar-
dy villages, strange even in France?
Among the names of places are Bray,
which Is of Celtic origin and signifies
a swamp or morass. Fay la from the
Latin '!agus," meaning a beech tree.
Hem Is a home or habitation. Estree
Is from the T.atln “strata,” meaning
route. Fins Is from "finis." signifying
Ihe limits. Coiuhles means vales or
valleys. The termination “oy” Is ap-
plied to a plantation—Queanoy, Tilloy,
Autuoy. Kosoy. The name of "Bols
des Trones” Is simply “the wood of the
throues.” The name of the city of Al-
bert wus formerly the same as the
name of the stream, Anere. It was
changed when the lordship passed to
the house of Albeit de Lyne of the
family Alberti, originally of Florence.
Perohne, noted because of the cnptlv-
Ity of King LonU XL at that place,
was for a long time called lot Pucelle,
“the maiden.’*—Indianapolis News.
Hard to Kill.
An alligator's tenacity of life is re-
markable. “I remember one time,”
says an English traveler In India, “I
was with n shooting party on the
Ganges when the natives brought in
a six foot alligator. They hoped some
one would want to buy it, but no one
did, so It was determined to kill the
creature. It was hauled out of the
tank and tied to a tree. Bullets from
a small rifle or an ordinary twelve bore
gun seemed only to Irritate the sau-
rian, and he did not seem to care very
much when « native thrust a spear
down bis throat Finally they were
obliged to get area and chop off Its
head. Even tbeu the tail thrashed
around, and the body was almost cut
to pieces before all movement ceased."

"Ton," exclaimed the indignant old
gentleman—“you want to marry my
daughter! Why, sir. It la only a few
years ago that you were caddying for
me.”
“Yes, sir," said the young man, “but
1 don't Intend to let that stand In the
way. 1 hope I am philosopher enough
to realize that a very bad golfer may
make a fairly good fatber-ln-law.”—
Boston Transcript.
Whit* Specks In Butter.
White speaks lu butter are some-
times simply fine particles of milk
curd, resulting from lack of care In
skimming. Sometimes they are small
specks of dried cream, having been
scraped from tlie sides of the pan and
being too dry to thoroughly soften and
mix with the rest.
Lost and Found—a Heart.
Nothing seems so hopelessly lost,
when it Is lost, as a heart, yet uotblag,

the centuries so absolutely certain of
recovery.—Puck.
