Organized White Plague Fight. “It was in 1903 that the Assoclated Charities organized its ‘committee for the prevention of consumption.’ This committee opened the first specialized tuberculosis dispensary in the Dis- trict of Columbia, and was succeeded in 1908 by the present Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis of the District of Columbia. The work of this association in promoting preven- tive health legislation in the District of Columbia, 1 educational prop- aganda and more recently in the in- troduction of the modern health crusade into the public schools and | the establishment of nutrition clinics for underwensht school children is well known. The District of Columbia owes its non-support law to the work of-a volunteer of the Associated Chariti William H.

This has been copied in other states and has been recommended by the conference of state commissioners on 1 uniform state laws for general adop- tion.

The eco- nomic value of this contribution in re- lieving charitable agencies from do- ing for the wife and children what I'the man should do, speaks for itself. ! But hardly second in importance is the moral effect of the statute under which many men who have deserted { their families and disappeared from the District have been brought back and given their choice of contributing an amount fixed by the court or of going to the workhouse at Occoquan. The choice usually results in the man pre- ferring to pledge a stated sum to his ! wife and children.

He will freshen up like a spring flower and the warm spring air will be like a tonic to him. Take him outdoors all you can, but—now listen close—spring breezes are treacherous and you'll have to keep him warm, and * free from draughts—and that’s where our baby carriages shine. They're built to give the utmost comfort and have roomy hoods—yet they are so constructed that baby is iree from dangerous draughts. .
