that they must be taken to the

fact is that the very elements that
go to make the child healthy are
to be found more easily iu the out
skirts or residence portion of the
town, than in the crowded ways and
dusty thoroughfares of the business
portion. There is less dust, lesv jam
and push, less annoyance, less con
tamination, aud a great deal less
danger away from the centre of town.
We are certainly not averse to peep

women come face to face with great
