GIVE THEM RIGHT START | AND R By DR. F. TRUBY KING World's Foremost Baby Saving Ex- pert. Wien the menace to our national existence which 1 described in my preceding article first set me at work seeking 2 remedy 1 realized that the erux of the problém lay in the health of our babies. \ Special study and an intimate in- terest in farm and garden crops had | long since taught me that everything | depends upon the care of the young | plant. H the nursery is good—if the seed has the right start, if the tender | young plant is given proper care—a| sturdy crop is sure under reasonable! conditions as to soi] and climate. The| stock raiser will tell you the same! thing. The prenatal period, and th first four or five months of the ecalf’s | life after birth. determine the whole! tuture; and the best aftercare and at- vention will fail to make a good beast} out of one that has been badly treat- ed after birth. But with a healthy, well-cared for young animal yon are sure of a fit and valuable member .of the herd—such animals can. fend’ for themselves for the rest of their lives and neither defect. of growth nor dis- ease will be feared. The sate thing is true of babies. Give them. the right start and the rest is ractically certain. But the knowl- edge which the world was becoming wise énough to apply. to agriculture and stock raising had hardly been ap- plied. dt .all in connection with this most valuable crop in the world—our babies. When about 12. years ago I began publicly fto- proclaim these truths throughout New Zedland { was often met with the assertion that we need not take the sitiidtion so: seriously in our country. We already had one of the lowest child death fates in the world. Let other‘cduiitries where in- fant mortality was high take up the; problem, 1 wad told: It teed not! worry us: here. But, 1 answered, no child death raté ¢an be too low, and} 1 added that any death rate dt all over 3. per cent {5 too high. ~ And my plea: wan’ that a widely dif- ‘fused knowledge ahd recognition of intant requirements and maternal du- ties. would save ous coutitry at least sone lite a day. This figure has prov- ed;to be: tiuch under the mark. But out of ‘New Zealand's then population of 1,000,000 surely the saving of even one life a day was well worth while. WHEN BLANKVILLE WENT TO WAR Blankville really hadh’t gone to war: until one a few weeks ago when Farmef William Hughes, trom the Rocky. Hill setghborhood, came to town and went to see the President of. the First Nutional Bank. That started it. - Now, as a matter of fact, Blankville thought it was at war all the time.! ‘There hasn't, beeh a moment since ‘the war started when the people of | /Blankville didn’t consider their town a {peculiarly a place.

Planket, lord Plunket then being governor of ew Zealand, lent us their hearty support, issuing a pamphlet in which they appealed to all classes to join in the society’s work “for the sake of women and children, for the advance- ment of the Dominion, and for the honor of the empire.” Thus our Society for the Health of Women and Children was launched. Lady Plunket identified herself with the cause in the most whdle-hearted | and pr va. ving lecture: demonstrations, and personal help to mothers and babies. In appreciation | of her work the nurses of the society are still known as “Vlunket nu Zealand Health of Womyn ren is simply the “Plunket From the start it was ti volunteer organization, but the so-{ y soon received the cordial sup- port of the government and of the | municipalities who, for instance, granted us the use of rooms in public | our meetings and for govern: buildings for } the use of our nurses. ‘The ment also saw that they had f1 age over the railways and str lines. well as president of the society served as a sort of inspector gene linking. the two together.

Thus it, will be seen, that our first | and. most necessary step in New Zea- land’s historic baby saving campaign consisted in attaining the intimate and closest cooperation of all classes in the community and of the govern- ment. s 2 @ (EDITOR'S NOTE—In the forego- ing article Dr. King tells of the incep- tion of baby saving In New Zealand.

Isn't that corrett, ‘Mr. Hughes. ‘i “Oh yes, that’s true enough, replied the farmer. “But if you're going to stop with that statement I think you'd better quit bragging about what the town has done!

JSTRIAN HELD AS ENEMY ALIEN SHOWS DEFIANCE Leo Brandl Charged with Viola- tion of Espionage Act, Faces Deportation Dickinson, N. D., April 22—Leo Erandl, an Austrian alien, who has made this section of the state his home a large part of the time since war, is confined in the county jail to- day awaiting the arrival of the Uni- ted States marshal. Brandl was ar- sled late Tuesday evening at the an Knudes farm where he was working as a painter. He is held on ges of violation of the espionage t, which, if proven, may land him in un internment camp and deportation utter the was is over. Brandl has been spreading sedition among the foreign population in this vicinity for some time, and several | complaints were filed against him. ‘fhe matter was brought to the atten- tion of Sheriff Hartung, who de- cided to investigate. (Meeting Brandl tuesday night the conversation drifted to the war and Sheriff Hart- iung was startled to hear the man say, “To Hell with the United States president. I wouldn’t help this coun- try in the war for I have a legacy to get in Austria.” The ma nwas vio- lent in his demonstrations and the sheriff lost not time in placing him under arrest. At the county jail to- day the man maintains a stolid in- difference as to the disposition of his case, It is. understood Brandl has a wife and several children in Austria and expects to go back to his native land as soon as he has the opportunity. fle is a man about forty years of age and those who have seen him declare he is not quite as ignorant as he pro- fesses, It is possible that Sheriff. Hartung has captured a very danger- ous alien enemy~and the case will be investigated thoroughly. Advices have been sent to Attorney General Langer. ‘The arrest of Brandl and his sub- sequent defiant attitude has aroused indignation in this city. EMMONS COUNTY'S NEW FARM AGENT ON DECK Linton, N.
