CONDITIONS THAU REGISTRATION TO VISITORS AT | Monday To Usher in “Baby Week” Under Auspices of Woman's Council of Defense : Beginning next week a registra- tion of all children in Casper will probably be undertaken under the auspices of the Casper chapttr of the Woman’s Council of Defense which js to be organized within a few days. Under the Department of Labor of the United States, the Children’s Bu- reau is sending out a weighing and measuring test which will be applied to every child under three years of ban committee of women will un- dertake the work of canvassing th> districts and each district will ha neighborhood meetings at various homes where the méthers may meet, weight their children, and gather for general instruction-as to proper care and feeding during the summer months. One part of the card on which the registration is to be made will\be kept by the parents while the other half will be retained by the person who distributes th® cards and will later be mailed to the Department of Labor. On the back of the card a table of heights and weights of chil- dren is printed with directions for using the table. The figures are taken from L, Emmett Holt’s “Dis- eases of Infancy and Childhood” and an dare based upon original observa- tion. The results of the registration will, |. no doubt, show the need of a public healt hnurse in Casper, but it is _un- derstood that the organization Will not push this part of the program, it being the contentio nof the organi- zation that the city should be the instigator of such a moyement and should maintain and provide suitable quarters for a nurse. July is the first of four months of special danger to babies, and this year war conditions make the sum- mer months particularly hazardous, according to information made pub- lic by the Children’s Bureau of the Department of Labor. In July the deaths of children un- der two years from/certain easily preventable digestive diseases. are usually more than double those~in June. By August the deaths from diaorrhea and enteritis are three times what they are in June, and the number does not fall again to the June level until November. Conditions which lower the resist- ance of children make these diseases more threatening. This year \the war makes it more, difficult and costly to feed children properly, as they must be fed if they are to be strong and healthy and abie to re- sist diseases. At the same time the toll of deaths in the European bat- tlefields makes it more necessary to conserve babies’ lives. The national baby test has pointed: the special health needs of the chil- dran in many communities and food of the children must ve special care. Communities are using various ways to meet the netds revealed by the test. One way is to advertise the value and economy of using milk, even at the high price per quart, in feeding children. As one New England mother said, milk is less expensive than doctors’ bills. But at the same time the milk should be. 4 pure, wholesome milk. Any fail- ures on the part of milk dealers to provide tested pure milk should be Teported to the authorities. It does no good to scold about it to your neighbors.

Maybe I have been without sleep and maybe I am tired; that’s all over now. Here’s is the man who will take care of me.” His wound dressed, his blood again sent coursing warmly thru his yeins, the boy drops off to sleep. This confidence of the fighting man in the organization behind him must not be shaken. As the number of men in France increases the prob- lem of food, clothing and medical attention multiplies. The ground work of meeting all of these’ prob- lems has been laid in France in the shape of gigantic warehouses, rail- way lines and vest docks at the sea- board. Upon the war organiaztion , at home falls the burden of keeping them supplied. NOT ALL MAY FIGHT Insofar as manpower is concerned, it should also be remembered that 1,000,000 men in France does not mean 1,000,000 fighting men. Tak- ing a division as a unit it requires approximately 12,000 men and from 6,000 to 8.000 horses to keep 17,- 900 bayonets and artillery in the line. Multiply this by the number of times 17,000 men you believe it will take to win the war, and you can estimate the total number of men who must be transported and cared for.
