EXCELSIOR PRODUCTS CO. 85 FOURTH AVE.N.Y.CITY LITTLE MOUIERS’ LEAGUES; GIRLS UW DIN The State Board of Health has been very much interested in the organiza tion of Little Mothers’ Leagues, be lieving that this is a good work, and worthy of everyone’s hearty support. The Parent-Teacher Associations and the Home Demonstration Agents of the Agriculture College have been of great assistance in this work. Many classes have already been held in va rious parts of the State, and we sin cerely hope that our county will see to it that our school girls are given this very beneficial instruction. The lesson* are prepared and fur nished by the State Board of Health. The classes are instructed by the teacher in the school, and when the lessons have been finished and the class, if of sufficient size, the State furnishes a nurse to examine the chil dren and to give demonstrations in how to dress the baby, how to give it bath, how to prepare its food, the signs of illness, etc. To succeessful children she gives a beautiful printed certificate under the signature of Dr. Abercrombie, Commissioner of Health, countersigned by the nurse, also a “Little Mothers’ League” pin having the great Seal of Georgia in its cen ter, a very serviceable and artistic piece of jewelry. The information given is very prac ticai. and will be serviceable through out the child’s life. There is nothing in the lessons to which anyone can object, but all praise has been given them. The State Board of Health will be glad to §&nd the lessons to any school that is interested and will take up with them the necessary details of the completion of the course. Another matter along this line in which the State Board of Health is interested is the instruction of moth ers about their babies: they call there “Mothers’ Classes.” The Parent-Teach er Associations. Women’s Clubs or the mothers themselves can organize thea^- Any one interested should write to Division of Maternity and Infancy State Board of Health, 131 Capita: Square, Atlanta, Ga.

FIFTY QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF. In order, however, to make a some what more complete inventory of ' ourselves as 1925 begins, we should like to suggest that each Progressive Farmer reader, young or old, man or woman, score himself or herself by the following score card, which is the joint labor of several eminent men ,including Dr. Frank Crane. The plan is for you to ask your self each one of the following fifty . questions. Credit yourself two points ; for each question to which you can honestly answer “Yes,” and then see how much you score out of a maxi mum grade of 100. For example, if you answer “Yes” to 35 of the fifty questions, your score is 70—just a “passing grade.” If you can answer “Yes” to 45 of them, your score of 90 is eery good. But wd simply sug gest, in conclusion, that each reader see to which of these questions he must answer “No” and resolve to im prove himself or herself at these points during 1925:- 1. Are you in good health? - 2. Have you been examined within a year by a medical expert to find out if you are perfectly sound ? 3. Do you stand straight and sit straight ? 4.
