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

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 ?

18. Have you a good memory?

37. Can you keep a secret so that

38. Are you modest? Do you avoid
boasting and talking of yourself ?

cost per gallon of producing milk. Cows on pasture slip down
in milk flow. Experienced dairymen have found they can pro
duce more milk at less cost per gallon, by feeding a little
concentrate.
* With Cow Chow you can cut the cost of pro
duction per gallon, you can put your cows in better
condition and get a longer milking period.
Hundreds of dairymen are
using Cow Chow to lower
milk costs. Cow Chow contains
iust the right proteins to balance ffTBI IPtiil A S
grass and to make it produce rHj T* _
more milk.
Cow Chow will make your HTm fPu
milk checks bigger and lower the
cost of producing the milk per
