Modem medical science teaches us that ,e large part of the disease and physical ailments from which the human race suffers, arise from preventable defects that develop in early childhood, and that a terrible drain on the vitality of the nation is created each year by the death of 300,000 babies. As a result of this ignorance and the laws of hygiene, thousands of homes are filled with sorrow and all these lives full of promise are blotted out. It ia said that in many localities more than half the children have some serious physical de- -' feet, and while we believe the children of Provo are better cared for than in many other places, there are yet many weaknesses that need to be These conditions unless remedied overcome. will handicap our children in their future lives and cause many premature deaths and failures in life. Modem child hygiene saves costly dentistry apd permanent injury to the teeth, which lean be avoided by the use of the tooth brush. It prevents weak eyes by directing the child in his reading and by providing suitable spectacles. It averts the peril of tuberculosis by attention, to good ventalation, feeding and so on, and suggests many kinds of preventitive and remedical work. Baby Week;' usually observed the first week In May, is an idea started by the government to promote hygienic methods in the tare of children. ' It is an occasion worthy of attention everywhere and designed to give valuable instruction to many mothers, AnotberXeature of Baby Week that will interest parent', is the manner in which f . Si 11 The, Dodge Idea a magazine of business, tells of a certain manufacturing plant that faced a serious business situation last October. There were very few orders. Many of this firms competitors had shut down, and this seemed the only sensible thing to do. Finally a grey haired, keen old fighter in the business management took the flour to express his views. - We are not going to close down, he said. Were going to fight. He told how he had been through financial storms that made the recent flurry seem like a ripple. , As a result of his talk the firm speeded up production. They cut down costs and made a big effort to sell their product through advertising. Now that concern is back to a normal basis, while a lot of their competitors are far below their regular output or entirely closed down. A great deal of the business trouble of the past few months is due to the easy going habits developed daring the war and immediately thereafter when goods sold themselves. In the pre--) war days people had to hastle to get wort They will have to hustle now, but it can be done. The problem created by quiet business is, m the case of the retail store, largely a matter of advertis-h- g. Instead of cutting down on publicity if business is quiet the expenditure for publicity should be increased, says one of the largest retailer of the country. The Dry Goods Economist tells us that the big city department stores are resorting to this method. It tells of how one of these stores that of its gross usually aims to spend four per-cesales in its ready-to-wedepartment in advertising, has now put the percentage of publicity of the sales in two of expense above six per-ceits most important departments. Such a spirit of progress will not only win in the large trade centers, but in the smaller ones as well. We must cheer up and face our business problems with fortitude, for as someone has rightly said, there are no hard times to come, its just the soft times going. nt ar nt The Story of Our.States ; AT THE THEATRES i By JONATHAN BRACE IV.
