C, THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1930. “Every Parent and Every Community—United for Health—For Every Child” President Hoover Says @ “The ideal to which we should strive is that there shall be no child in America: @ That has not been born under proper conditions. @ That does not live in hygienic surroundings. @ That ever suffers from undernourishment. @ That does not have prompt and efficient medical attention and inspection. [ That does not receive primary instruction in the elements of hygiene and good health. @ That has not the complete birthright of a sound mind in @ That has not the encouragement to express in fullest measure which is the final endowment of every human being.” Every Child Is Entitled to Good Health Protect the Mothers Every expectant mother should have: Prenatal Care—Seek advice of family physician early or attend prenatal clinic.

Here Is Where Friendly Co-operation Is Urgenitly Needed Congress and President Hoover have en- acted a law authorizing a Tuberculous Children’s Sanatorium for the Nation’s Capital. If the House will now concur in the Senate’s initial appropriation of $300,- 000, THE CHILDRENS SANATO- RIUM CAN BE BEGUN AT ONCE. Every day’s postponement means increas- ing danger from a communicable disease and the unnecessary loss of child life. More than 400 tuberculous children are known to the Health Department to be in need of sanatorium care and each week the list increases. Responsibility for the immediate solution of this urgent child health problem rests now with a few members of the House. We believe they will not fail us.
