Rawlings, state health director. Ambitious that ll | theirs shall be the healthiest, finest babies on earth and not averse to ac- cepting the attractive awards offered, the youthful mothers take seriously the advice given in consultation by expert pediatric physicians. With cen- tral Illinois, from which the confer- ence has always drawn more than 90 per cent of its patrons, boasting of a lower infant mortality rate than ob- tains anywhere else in the state and with families in this section having re- ceived during the past ten years $5,000, plus half a score of gold watches and as many silver loving cups given for i superior physical excellence it appears : that the dual purpose of the mothers is a practical realization. "Infant mortality in central Illinois is lower than that in either the north- ern or southern sections of the state," said Dr. Rawlings. "It is reasonable to believe that the scientific medi- cal knowledge disseminated through the baby conference has favorably influenced that condition. For this reason the children registered for ex- amination are espesically fortunate. Miss Margaret Sturgeon of Cham- paign, Ill, has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. Anthony Humphreys, 722 Elm | street.
