""CADIll LILAC "ILA SA LL E -we'd like to all: to you. If you are a "bug" on economy-- Even if you have a remarkable economy record, you'll be, astonished to learn how little more you'll pay to keep a Cadillac or La Salle going over the "long haul." And that's what counts. Not the first 1,000. But 10,000, 25,000, 50,000 miles. " you'll check all factors, trom monthly payments to ovevhauling, you may discover that the money you'vi spent on your present car would make you a Cadillac or Le Salle owner. If this idea seems interesting, drop in and talk it over. CADILLAC MOTOR CAR CO.

(Continued from page 4) care known to medical science, it he reduced the infant death rate Ind im- proved the health of Chicago's chil- fren to tt degree that may well be a source of pride to everyone in this community. The complete Infant Welfare pro- gram for the health of babies born in the congested sections of Chicago starts with the mother before her baby is born, and provides regular examinations by a. competent obstetri- cian in the station, followed by home visits by the society's nurse. Last year the society in all of its stations had 1,390 expectant mothers under its care and there were 830 babies born within a single maternal mor- tality. This is a remarkable record. particularly in view of the feet that the United States stenda next to the top of the list among civilized ttit- tions in its high record of maternal deaths. e , Begin Early Just as soon as possible after the baby is born, the mother brings him to the Infant Welfare station where he is first carefully weighed by I volunteer worker. After his weight is entered on his chart. he goes to the doetor's table where he is thoro Highly examined and the doctor tells the mother what he needs to keep him well. Station conferences are followed by regular visits by a nurse who goes into home not only to be sure that the mother understands the doctor's instructions but also to help her in keeping the home sanitary and health- ful for the baby. Everything that affects the baby's life is ot interest to the Infant Welfare nurse and she often helps, the mother to plan the most effective way of spending the little money that these mothers have to handle. She teaches the mother how to give the baby his bath, what is the best routine for the baby through the whole day, when and how much he should be ted, how much sleep he should have and " what times of the day. She advises the mother too about the clothing for the baby and when he is old enough to begin to play, his playtime is one of the things in which the nurse is in- terested and in which she helps the mother. The expert care and regular health luperviaion means for the blbiea I real chance for life Ind health - for many of them it meme all the ditt- erence between A life hendicapped by permanent physical defeeti and pos- sible life-long dependence, or dunks to Infant Welfare a life which uhould be the mutual right of everyone - u sound body and I sound mind.
